Abstract

Bei dieser Stromschiene (1) mit Buchsen-Steckverbinder (4) sind die Stromschiene (1) und der Buchsen-Steckverbinder (4) einstückig aus Bandmaterial ausgebildet und zwar derart, daß eine längere Kontaktfeder (5) und eine kürzere Kontaktfeder (6) vorgesehen sind. Dabei ist die längere Kontaktfeder (5) breiter ausgebildet als die kürzere Kontaktfeder (6). Ferner sind die beiden Kontaktfedern (5, 6) so aus der Ebene der Stromschiene (1) so zueinander hochgebogen, daß der Anfangsbereich ihrer Federlänge in der Ebene der Stromschiene (1) verbleibt.

Figure 00000001
In this busbar (1) with socket connector (4), the busbar (1) and the socket connector (4) are formed in one piece from strip material in such a way that a longer contact spring (5) and a shorter contact spring (6) are provided are. The longer contact spring (5) is wider than the shorter contact spring (6). Furthermore, the two contact springs (5, 6) are bent up to one another from the plane of the busbar (1) in such a way that the initial region of their spring length remains in the plane of the busbar (1).
