Abstract

The invention relates to a device for electrical connection and a circuit breaker. The device is applied in an electrical switch device to connect a foot of a bimetal strip with a contact strip. The bimetal strip can be moved via an adjusting screw so as to be thermally adjusted. The device is characterized in that the device has a flat conductive component (6) fixed on the contact strip (1) and the bimetal strip (2), wherein the conductive component is formed by at least one continuous conductive element. The conductive element is wound and flattened, so as to have a length substantially corresponding to a gap between the foot of the bimetal strip and the contact strip and to have a semi-rigid structure. The semi-rigid structure permits the deformation of the conductive component under the adjusting effect of the adjusting screw (7) so as to permit the displacement of the bimetal strip (2), while being sufficiently rigid for assuring relative positioning of the foot of the bimetal strip with respect to the contact strip.
