Regardless of the training this other connection point, the terminal has devices for positive coupling with other individual elements of the same or different function.

  • the invention therefore also includes a kit in which such individual elements have the same and different functions are included and which allows the user to use a small number of different individual parts to build different individual elements and from these different clamping devices according to their respective needs.
  • clamping devices for example in the form of a multi-pole terminal or a terminal strip, can also be assigned additional devices which are advantageous for the use of these clamping devices and which are added in such a way that they do not require any changes to the individual elements themselves.
  • the strain relief has a flat, essentially T-shaped base part 105, which consists of insulating material and on which a cable clamping web 107 is held captively by means of a band hinge 106, which by means of two clamping screws 108, the threaded bushes 109 in the cross leg of the base part 105 are assigned, can be screwed to this.
  • Clamping ribs 110 which are provided on the base part 105 and the clamping web 107 and are arranged in a recessed manner, ensure, in the usual way, that the electrical line clamped between them with elastic deformation of the conductor insulation is fixed in the correct position.
  • latching fingers 112 are arranged in pairs, each of which carries an outwardly facing latching hook 113.
  • FIGS. 1, 7 and 11 For coupling the strain relief to the individual elements according to FIGS. 1, 7 and 11 are their partial housing 2, 2a, 2b each starting from the end face 14 or 14a, 14b provided with cross-sectionally parallel connection channels 114 which are rectangular in cross-section and which extend over part of the length of the partial housing 2, 2a, 2b and are laterally delimited by two parallel webs 115 which are opposite the adjacent one Side surface of the respective sub-housing are set back inwards.
  • the webs 115 are delimited on their side facing the separating surface 5 by a rectangular latching opening 116 penetrating the side wall and opening outwards, the exact dimensions of which can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • connection channels 115 which are delimited on the underside by an integrally formed web part 117 (FIG. 3), open behind the latching opening 116 on the underside of the partial housing 2 (2a, 2b) in the area between the latching arms 8, as is also shown in FIG. 3 emerges.
  • connection channels 114 are selected such that each connection channel 114 is set up in the manner shown in FIG. 18 to receive a pair of latching fingers 112, the latching hooks of which snap into the latching opening 116 in the inserted state and thus fix the molded part 105 of the strain relief in place.
  • the lateral spacing of the locking finger pairs 112 on the base part 105 is on the pitch of the individual elements, i.e. whose sub-housing 2 is matched so that, in the case of a two-pole clamping device, the molded part 105 with its locking fingers 112 can be inserted into the connecting channels 114 of adjacent individual elements.
  • the strain relief is thus with the cable clamped between the ribs 110 to the middle between the two individual elements, i.e. whose connection point pairs 14 aligned.
  • the webs 115 are set back to such an extent in relation to the adjacent side walls of the partial housings 2 (2a, 2b), that between two individual elements, which are positively coupled to one another via the coupling elements 50, 51, an insertion channel 114 'is again delimited, which has the same open cross-sectional dimensions as the connecting channel 114 of an individual element. Since the grid of the connecting channels 114 'of individual elements lined up next to one another is the same as the grid of the connecting channels 114 can, as can be seen from FIG. 19, the base part 105 of the strain relief is optionally inserted into two adjacent connecting channels 114' and locked in their latching openings 116 become. In the three-pole clamping device shown, this means that the connection cable clamped in the strain relief via the ribs 110 is now aligned with the connection points 14 of the central individual element.
  • a plurality of strain relief devices can also be provided, in such a way that molded parts 105, for example also with their transverse legs, are joined to one another.
  • connection channels 114 are provided in the manner described with the webs 115 on both sub-housings 2, 3 (2a, 2b; 3a, 3b), in which only the other sub-housings 3 (3a, 3b) are provided such connection channels are executed.
  • strain relief One advantage of the strain relief described is that it can still be inserted after the clamping device has been installed, for example in a lamp, without the fixing of the clamping device having to be undone. Since the strain relief has a base part 105 inserted at the end, there are also short, simple line paths for the lines leading from the clamped cable into the connection points.
