The invention relates to a terminal block having a number of elongated and contact means arranged in parallel along an insulating frame for producing electrical Has connections. The contact means 5 are attached to a part in the frame one end as soldering lugs for the connection of wire conductors, which are in the area of the frame in the The main thing is to lie across the contact means, and at the other end as plugs or sockets for the Establishing a direct connection with the contacts of selectors or relays.

Such terminal blocks are generally used in electrical engineering to manufacture of connections to the contacts of voters or relays to facilitate. The invention sees one Terminal block before, which takes up little space, is easy to manufacture without difficulty is to be mounted and with the at the same time a more secure and detachable connection between the Ladders can be made. This is achieved according to the invention in such a way that between the fastened parts and the soldering lugs of the contact means these in a parallel to the plane of the frame Level run freely and the frame made of elastic material in this area like a thin disk is designed, a space being formed between the frame and the contact means in which the insulated parts of the connecting wires are laid.

The invention will now be described in detail. In the drawings is the

The terminal block shown in the drawings has the insulating frame parts 15 and 16 on. In part 16 there are five elongated, parallel contact means 11 at their rear ends 18 attached. These ends are conveniently used as plugs or sockets for direct connection to formed the contact wires of a selector or a relay. The contact means 11 are at the front End designed as soldering lugs 12 to which the five terminal block

Conductor wires 13,14 can be connected. The soldering lugs 12 are provided in the frame Recesses 17 are inserted and are held in this way at the point of use. Between the soldering lugs and the attached part of the contact means 11, these are exposed in one of the insulating Frame 15 slightly distant level. Here is a between the contact means and the frame Formed space in which the insulated parts of the connecting wires 13 are laid. About attaching To facilitate these wires, the parts of the frame 15 and the contact means that are near the named space, designed to be flexible. If these parts are bent, as shown in FIG. 3 shown, so the contact means 11, since they have the longer bending radius, from the recesses 17 pulled out and move away from a wall 21 in the recesses, the frame can be bent away from the contact means, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 shown. In this case the insulated connecting wires 13 can be inserted between the frame and the contact means, so that they rest mainly transversely to the contact means and isolated from them while In addition, the parts 14 of the connecting wires that have been freed from the insulation can be attached to the soldering lugs without difficulty 12 can be soldered on.

Then the contact means and the frame are in the position shown in FIG then into the in the F i g. 2 position back-

out, the soldering lugs are pushed into the relevant recesses 17, after which the connecting wires are completely enclosed by the contact means and the frame and on the Use point are recorded. By bending the assembly into the position shown in FIG. 3 position shown this lock can be released.

Claims (3)

Claims: IO 1. Terminal block with a number of elongated and parallel along an insulating Frame arranged contact means for making electrical connections, wherein the contact means attached to a part in the frame, at one end as soldering lugs for the connection of wire conductors in the area of the frame, mainly across the Contact means lie, and at the other end as a plug or socket for the production of a direct connection with the contacts of selectors or relays are formed thereby characterized in that between the fastened parts and the soldering lugs (12) of the contact means (11) these run freely in a plane parallel to the plane of the frame and that the out elastic material existing frame in this area (15) designed like a thin disc is, wherein a space is formed between the frame and the contact means in which the insulated parts of the connecting wires (13) are laid. 2. Terminal block according to claim 1, characterized in that the as thin Disc-shaped area (15) of the frame and the contact means (11) are designed to be flexible can be bent apart for the purpose of making the connections easier. 3. Terminal block according to claim 2, characterized in that the soldering lugs (12) of the contact means in the disc-shaped region (15) adjoining recesses (17) of the frame (17) are pushed so far that they rest when the contact means and the frame are bent released towards the side of the disc-shaped part (15) and can be pushed back into the recesses by bending the contact means and the frame back into the starting position.
