Für einige Anwendungsfälle hat es sich als erforderlich und gleichzeitig als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die hierfür zum Einsatz vorgesehenen elektrischen Installationsgeräte, insbesondere Steckdosen, mit einem Zusatzmodul zu versehen, welches z. B. für einen Überspannungsschutz sorgt, eine Filterfunktion ausübt, ein Relais oder einen elektronischen Fernschalter aufnimmt oder mit einem Fehlerstromschutzschalter versehen ist.For some use cases, it has proven to be necessary and at the same time proven to be advantageous for this purpose provided electrical installation devices, in particular Sockets to be provided with an additional module, which, for. B. for provides surge protection, performs a filter function Relays or an electronic remote switch or with is provided with a residual current circuit breaker.
Aus der DE 37 36 945 A1 ist eine Steckdose mit Zusatzmodul bekannt geworden, die einen über Abstandsstege von einem Tragring gehaltenen Steckdosensockel aufweist, der steckerseitig durch ein mit einem Abdeckrahmen versehenen, als Zentralstück ausgebildeten Steckertopf abgedeckt ist und einbauseitig ein Zusatzmodul trägt. From DE 37 36 945 A1 a socket with an additional module is known become one over spacers from a support ring held socket base, the plug side through a provided with a cover frame, designed as a central piece Plug pot is covered and an additional module on the installation side wearing.
Um die Einbautiefe der Steckdose nicht über den von der Norm (DIN 49440) für Wandeinbaudosen zugelassenen Wert von 32 mm zu erhöhen, sind zur Befestigung des Steckdosensokkels, dessen Ausgestaltung der für herkömmliche Steckdosen ohne Zusatzmodul entspricht, die Abstandsstege gekürzt. Hierdurch ist es ermöglicht, daß der serienmäßige Sockel trotz Erhöhung seiner Einbautiefe infolge des rückseitig angesetzten Zusatzmoduls in die standardisierten Wandeinbaudosen paßt. Allerdings mit der Folge, daß anstelle einer serienmäßigen Zentralscheibe mit integriertem Steckertopf ein besonders gestalteter Einsatz erforderlich ist, der sich etwa um die Bautiefe des Zusatzmoduls von der Ebene der Einbauwand abhebt.To the installation depth of the socket does not exceed that of the standard (DIN 49440) permitted for wall mounting boxes of 32 mm increase, are for attaching the socket socket, its design which corresponds to conventional sockets without additional module, the spacers have been shortened. This enables that the standard base despite increasing its installation depth due to the additional module on the back into the standardized Wall boxes fits. However, with the consequence that instead of a standard central disc with integrated A specially designed insert is required which is about the depth of the additional module from the level of Built-in wall lifts off.
Nicht zu übersehen ist bei dieser bekannten Ausgestaltung eines elektrischen Installationsgerätes der Nachteil sowohl die Fertigung als auch für die Einbaumontage, daß bei Verwendung solcher Installationsgeräte mit Zusatzmodul einerseits besondere, vom Serienmuster abweichende Geräteabdeckungen erforderlich sind und andererseits die angestrebte flache Gestaltung der Installationsgeräte, die sich nur geringfügig von der jeweiligen Einbauwand abhebt, wegen des erforderlichen Raumbedarfs für das Zusatzmodul gestört ist. Dies wirkt sich insbesondere bei Kombinationen aus, wo mehrere elektrische Installationsgeräte in nebeneinanderliegenden Einbaudosen untergebracht sind, von denen dasjenige Gerät mit Zusatzmodul sich mit größerem Abstand von der Einbauwand als die übrigen abhebt.In this known embodiment, one cannot be overlooked electrical installation device the disadvantage of both manufacturing as well as for recessed mounting that when using such Installation devices with additional module on the one hand special, from Series patterns deviating device covers are required and on the other hand the desired flat design of the installation devices, which differ only slightly from the respective installation wall takes off because of the space required for the additional module is disturbed. This particularly affects combinations from where several electrical installation devices are located in side by side Installation boxes are housed, one of which Device with additional module at a greater distance from the Built-in wall stands out as the rest.
Abgesehen von dieser mehr auf den ästhetischen Eindruck abzielenden Problematik besteht ein weiterer Nachteil darin, daß bei den bekannten Installationsgeräten mit Zusatzmodul der elektrische Anschluß mit Hilfe von entsprechenden Kabeln erfolgt, was den Montageaufwand und den hierfür benötigten Zeitbedarf erhöht.Aside from this, more aimed at the aesthetic impression Another disadvantage is that in the known installation devices with additional module, the electrical Connection is made using appropriate cables, which increases the assembly effort and the time required for this.
Es ist ein Unterputz-Installationsgerät mit Zusatzmodul bekannt geworden, bei welchem das eine Platine aufweisende Zusatzmodul an die einbauseitige Rückseite des Sockels angesetzt ist und die Platine mittels mit den Kontakten verbundener Verbindungsstücke elektrisch angeschlossen und mechanisch gehalten ist. Bei dem bekannten Gerät sind jedoch die jeweiligen elektronischen Bauteile, wie Varistoren, Widerstände etc. senkrecht auf der Platine angeordnet, wobei sie in vorhandene Hohlräume des Gerätesockels bzw. daneben befindliche Freiräume eingreifen. Das mit dem bekannten Gerät realisierte Modul ist auf den jeweiligen Gerätesockel zugeschnitten und damit nur eingeschränkt verwendbar.A flush-mounted installation device with an additional module is known in which the additional module having a circuit board is attached to the installation side of the base and the Circuit board by means of connectors connected to the contacts is electrically connected and mechanically held. In which known device, however, are the respective electronic components, such as varistors, resistors etc. vertically on the circuit board arranged, being in existing cavities of the device base or intervene adjacent spaces. That with The module implemented in the known device is on the respective device base tailored and therefore only of limited use.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind hierbei die Verbindungsstücke an den jeweiligen Kontakten des elektrischen Installationsgerätes einstückig angeformt. Stattdessen kann es aber auch in bestimmten Fällen zweckmäßig sein, die Verbindungsstücke mit den jeweiligen Kontakten zu verschweißen oder aber insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine möglichst vielseitige Verwendbarkeit die Verbindungsstücke mit den jeweiligen Kontakten kraftschlüssig oder kraft- und formschlüssig zu verbinden, z. B. in Form von Steckkontakten.According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting pieces are here on the respective contacts of the electrical installation device molded in one piece. Instead it can also be useful in certain cases, the connectors to weld with the respective contacts or in particular with a view to being as versatile as possible the connectors with the respective contacts non-positively or to connect positively and positively, e.g. B. in the form of plug contacts.
