After the forming process is finished the rollers or rollers removed, i.e. up or adjusted below and removed the deformed contact band.
  • the flat ribbon can also be inserted horizontally be when the rollers or rollers are horizontally adjustable are arranged.
  • the two contact strips are basically arranged in mirror image and preferably on holding elements of a carrier arrangement fixed, inserted in a housing or on the front inserted.
  • the connector becomes the contact strips depending offset from the angle. It is beneficial if the holding elements of the carrier arrangement are arranged in this way are that the different angular arrangements of the connectors are specified.
  • the support assembly also for receiving the ground rail or a protective contact rail is formed, it is advantageous to first of all on the carrier arrangement to fix and insert the entire slide into one housing or insert on the front.
  • a particularly efficient production and assembly results itself when protective contacts, for example protective contact bracket or clamps of the VDE standard by embossing or Clinching.
  • the elaborate rivet or Screw fastenings can then be omitted.
  • the prefabricated Protective contact rail is in or on the carrier arrangement fixed and together with the clamped on holding elements Contact strips arranged in a housing.
  • this is preferred one-piece carrier arrangement which in particular a plastic support part or is a plastic extrusion, with pre-assembled contact strips and earthing bar in one piece Housing inserted on the front.
  • a plastic support part or is a plastic extrusion with pre-assembled contact strips and earthing bar in one piece Housing inserted on the front.
  • Plug inserts are provided in which openings for the contact pins the plug in the spring contact sockets for the purpose of passing it through and openings for vertical upwards directional protective contacts are formed.
  • the contact or Flat strips with the spring contact sockets and spring areas between downward holding elements, in particular L-shaped bars, tensioned or locked is expedient, which consists of a almost horizontal plate, the underside of which L-shaped webs are formed.
