Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terminal for contacting a number of non-stripped electrical conductors a clamping part that is movable by a clamping screw is held and on one side of the clamping screw a contact part and on the other side of the clamping screw is supported on the conductor, the clamping part and the contact part a number of cutting elements in the clamping area exhibit.
  • Such a terminal is known from DE-AS 22 29 835. It is used to connect an electrical conductor a device using a clamping screw. To do this, the leader between a clamping part (clamping disc) and a contact part of the Terminal guided and contacted without stripping by using the clamping screw moves the clamping part towards the contact part becomes. Cutting elements provided on the clamping part and on the contact part penetrate the insulation of the conductor up to Contact with the conductor wire. Using the connector thus becomes a while fixing the conductor Current flow from the conductor to the contact part achieved.
  • the known terminal is only one for the contact Conductor provided, with conductors of different cross-section can be used.
  • the clamping part by means of the clamping screw more or less from the contact part lifted. Should several conductors of different cross-section be contacted for each of these leaders to provide a separate connection terminal.
  • GB 2 217 530 A (DE 38 08 794 Al) is a branch terminal known for electrical conductors, in addition to an insulation displacement contact second conductor can be contacted.
  • the second conductors are stripped for contacting, because of that Clamping contact is made with the clamping screw itself.
  • WO 95/14864 A1 Terminal a cutting contact of two conductors too of different diameters.
  • the invention has for its object a terminal of the type mentioned above, by means of at least two conductors in any cross-section pairing in one terminal point with the smallest possible dimension of the connection terminal can be contacted safely.
  • the contact part is preferably in Clamping area transverse to the direction of insertion of the conductor educated.
  • the clamping part is preferably also useful comparatively small inclination educated.
  • the angle of inclination of the clamping part is about 25 °, while the angle of inclination of the contact part is preferred is about 30 °. This is a double or multiple contact possible by putting two or more in parallel juxtaposed and different cross sections having conductors securely contacted and clamped at the same time without one of the conductors closing the Clamping point is cut.
  • the contact part formed from a contact plate is expediently at the same time the switching piece of a switching device, only the connection or clamping area being shaped obliquely. This makes it possible to clamp and contact two non-stripped conductors with a cross section of, for example, 2.5 mm 2 in the same clamping area or bed width, which was previously only possible with stripped conductors. This represents a significant gain in space.
  • Two rows with cutting teeth of different heights are expediently formed from the contact part for contacting - and thus for a current transfer from the conductor to the contact part.
  • the different height of the cutting teeth ensures that both a small cross-section, for example 0.5 mm 2 , and a comparatively large cross-section, for example 2.5 mm 2 , are safely contacted individually or in combination.
  • the contact part on the one facing the clamping area Side of the clamping screw a stop or support leg for the clamping part.
  • This one is a contact part provided contact sheet preferably from this shaped out.
  • the Incisors not continuous across the width of the contact part, but executed interrupted. In the direction of insertion of the or each conductor in front of the cutting element of the contact part is expediently a lead insertion slope from this stamped out.
  • the clamping part is opened by means of the clamping screw the contact part moves down. This will make the previously conductors inserted into the terminal into the cutting teeth pressed, the insulation is cut and an electrical Contact to be made to the contact part. Is to the clamping screw through a through hole provided in the clamping part guided, the diameter of which is selected such that a movement of the clamping part in the direction of insertion of the conductor and thus in the direction of the conductor axis when screwing on and loosening the clamping screw is possible.
  • a preferably on the clamping screw provided ring bead and a corresponding Embossing in the area of the through hole of the clamping part enable a self-lifting of the clamping part when open the connector. This makes it simple and safe Loosening the contact connection possible by using the appropriate Rotation of the clamping screw the clamping part from Contact part moved away upwards.
  • the cutting element is in a particularly expedient embodiment the clamping part by one in the direction of insertion of the conductor extending axis pivotally mounted. It is also Cutting element of the clamping part itself from two cutting edges different Height built up. This is a safe contact of ladders with both small and comparatively large cross-section guaranteed. To do this on the one hand a safe contact and a secure hold to ensure the conductor in the connection terminal as well as on the other hand to safely prevent cutting of one of the conductors, are the cutting edges of the clamping part compared to the Cutting teeth of the contact part are arranged offset.
  • the rotatable Storage of the cutting element of the clamping part enables in addition, a particularly reliable adaptation to the oblique contour of the contact part and the different Diameter of the clamped conductor.
  • One on the the side of the clamping screw facing away from the clamping area and directed towards the contact part of the stop The contact part also prevents each from being cut the pinched conductor.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in the fact that in a screwable terminal with a clamping part and with a contact part through a quasi wedge-shaped clamping area with oblique contact part in this area several conductors of different diameters can be reliably clamped and contacted side by side. This allows double or multiple contacting by means of a single connecting terminal in a simple and space-saving manner. At least two electrical conductors, the conductor cores of which are solid, fine or multi-wire, can be used by means of a clamping screw over a cross-sectional area of at least 0.5 mm 2 to 2.5 mm 2 in a single clamping point with a minimal dimension, regardless of the thickness of the conductor insulation and be contacted without stripping from the insulating material. A cut of one or each conductor when closing the terminal point is reliably prevented.

  • the clamping screw 4 is on the shaft side through a through hole or Through opening 5 passed in the clamping part 3 and on the thread side screwed into a threaded passage 6 of the contact part 2 (FIG 3).
  • the clamping part 3 is L-shaped and is supported by means of its serving as a leg 7 on the one Clamping area 8 facing away from the clamping screw 4 in one Support point 9 on the contact part 2.

  • the Cutting element 12 is parallel to one another by means of a bolt 13 axis 13 'to the conductor axis rotatable on the clamping part 3 stored.
  • the cutting element 12 and the bolt 13 expediently from one part, e.g. as a sintered part, shaped and thus formed in one piece or in one piece.
  • the contact part 2 faces the clamping area 8 Side of the clamping screw 4 a molded from the contact plate and in the direction of the clamping part 3 pointing stop 14 for the clamping part 3. Furthermore, the contact part 2 a transverse to the direction of insertion 11 at least approximately embossing 15 extending the width of the clamping area 8 as an introduction aid for the or each leader.

  • the contact part 2 is in the clamping area 8 with an inclination angle ⁇ - compared to a horizontally running clamping area - trained obliquely.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ expediently larger than the angle of inclination ⁇ of the clamping part 3.
