Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection terminal, the detachable with an electrical conductor in wire or strand form an electrically conductive contact rail connects, one rotatably mounted clamping disc during its swiveling movement Presses the conductor against the contact rail.
  • Such a connecting terminal is known from DE-PS 904304.
  • the conductor is replaced by a Rocker arm with the interposition of a spring against the contact rail pressed.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that the conductor must be stripped beforehand.
  • the Contact via the spring is not optimal (contact surface).
  • a clamp has become known from US 30 64 227 which the conductor does not have to be stripped beforehand. There with this connection the contact element lance-like between the This connection is conductor and the insulation must be pressed only suitable with soft and flexible insulation. A firm contact is only achieved if an increased spreading spring pulls the conductor Contact force is generated.
  • a clamp is described in the publication DE 29 22 447 A1, with a previously stripped conductor by spring force is pressed against a contact surface.
  • the existing lever is used to push the clamping spring away, with which the conductor again is released.
  • a clamp is known from DE 29 02 536 B1, into which a Conductor can be inserted without prior stripping.
  • the Contact is made by cutting the insulation by means of the cutting edge of a fork-shaped receptacle.
  • the leader is squeezed against this with a push-through device Cutting edge pressed.
  • the invention has for its object a versatile connection technology (usable in terminal blocks, PCB connection terminals, or terminal blocks) to develop the previous one Stripping the conductor, or using tools during the clamping process, as a cost saving for the consumer, make redundant.
  • connection should be secure and provide a large contact point, the conductor from injuries protect at the cutting points as well as one if possible offer simple manufacture with few individual parts and also allow quick and easy handling what also at lower costs for both the manufacturer and leads to the consumer.
  • the invention relates to a connecting terminal with the Features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments result resulting from subclaims 2 to 10.
  • the clamping disc in front of the cutting edge has a serrated area on the insulation portion also attacks. It is also convenient to go through the clamping position secure locking projections, either on the Clamping disc or on a slide actuating the clamping disc attack and are detachable.
  • guides are provided in the housing, on which the outer contour of the clamping disc is supported.
  • the Clamping area of the clamping disc and the cutting edges for cutting off the insulation is suitably connected to the cross section of the Head adapted. It is also advantageous to connect several adjacent sliders simultaneously with several conductors to contact a clamping movement.
  • the contact rail is in the clamping area like a leaf spring bridging a depression in the housing and so exerts a spring force.
  • the clamp connection can be used if necessary a suitable tool, e.g. Screwdriver, loosened again when pressed against the locking lug in the direction of the housing becomes.
  • the embodiment shows schematically a terminal block, in the two conductors 14 are connected to a contact rail 8.
  • a clamping disc 3 rotatably mounted in an insulated housing 1 is through housing-fixed guides 2 a clamping disc 3 rotatably mounted.
  • the clamping disc 3 has a toothed area 9, a cutting edge 7 and a clamping surface 6 on. It is in its clamping position by a slide 5 moves, the slider 5 with a plunger 12 on the top 10 of the clamping disc 3 attacks (drawing 1).
  • the conductor 14 is up to a stop 4b inserted into the housing 1.
  • the conductor 14 is then with its end on a contact rail 8 on its front End has a shear bar 13.
  • the Slider 5 When pressing the Slider 5 is through the cutting edge 7 and the shear bar 13th the insulation of the conductor 14 cut open (drawing 2) and during the subsequent rotary movement of the clamping disc 3 their toothed area 9 the insulation from the end of the conductor 14 removed.
  • the latching connections can optionally be released by pressed with a suitable tool against the latch 11 and the connection is released.
  • the release of the locking connections can also with the help of a push button integrated in the housing 1 take place at the opening 16 between the conductor 14 and the elastic housing projection pressed against the locking lug 11 becomes.
