Abstract

Bei dieser Reihenklemme mit Sammelschienenanschluß ist ein Trennschieber (5) vorgesehen, dessen Kontaktteil (6) als S-förmige Feder ausgebildet ist, deren unterer S-Bogen (6c) in der einen Endstellung die Sammelschiene (4) kontaktierend umgreift, während der obere S-Bogen (6a) in dieser Endstellung noch die Stromschiene (2) der Reihenklemme umgreift und in der anderen Endstellung lediglich der obere S-Bogen (6a) der Feder die Stromschiene (2) umgreift.

Figure 00000001
In this terminal block with busbar connection, a isolating slide (5) is provided, the contact part (6) of which is designed as an S-shaped spring, the lower S-arm (6c) in one end position engages around the busbar (4) in contact, while the upper S -Bend (6a) in this end position still engages around the busbar (2) of the terminal block and in the other end position only the upper S-arm (6a) of the spring engages around the busbar (2).
