Definitions
- the present invention relates to a connecting terminal with an electrically insulating base body with a base body width and a first pair of interacting conductor receiving parts with electrically insulating outer sides, wherein a conductor with a conductor cross section up to a maximum cross section can be clamped between the conductor receiving parts, the outer sides being spaced apart from one another.
- the connecting clamp of the prior art is dimensioned such that it always has the same width, regardless of whether a conductor is arranged between the conductor receiving parts or not.
- the width is also independent of which conductor cross-section a potential conductor has.
- the connecting terminal could have a smaller width. In this case, space in a control cabinet or the like in which the connecting terminal is mounted is wasted.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a connecting terminal which always takes up as little space as necessary.
- the outer distance is at most as large as the basic body width, in the case of conductors arranged between the conductor receiving parts with a maximum cross section, the outer distance is greater than the basic body width. If the conductor receiving parts form a funnel-shaped insertion region which is open towards an insertion side and an essentially closed holding region, the conductor can be inserted particularly easily between the conductor receiving parts and is also held well between the conductor receiving parts.
- the connecting gill is particularly easy to operate if the connecting clamp has a swivel lever that can be pivoted into the insertion area to press the conductor into the holding area.
- the swivel lever should have an electrically insulating coating.
- the swivel lever is an attachment element for attaching a
- the conductor can be inserted into the holding area with particularly little effort.
- connection clamp is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture if the base body consists of two symmetrically designed half-shells, the connection clamp has a second pair of interacting conductor-receiving parts with electrically insulating outer sides and a conductor-receiving part is molded onto each of the half-shells, one of the pairs of conductor-receiving parts, so that the connecting terminal can be formed by assembling two half shells.
- Show in principle 1 shows a connecting clamp and 2 shows a half-shell with swivel levers.
- a connecting gill has a rigid base body 1 and a first pair of interacting elastic conductor receiving parts 2.
- the base body 1 consists of an electrically insulating material, e.g. Plastic. It has a basic body width d.
- the conductor receiving parts 2 are also made of an electrically insulating material, e.g. Plastic. Their outer sides 2 'are thus also electrically insulating. The outer sides 2 'have an outer distance a from one another.
- the conductor receiving parts 2 form an insertion area 3 on the one hand and a holding area 4 on the other hand.
- the insertion area 3 is open towards an insertion side and tapers towards the holding area 4 in a funnel shape.
- the holding area 4 is essentially closed.
- the connecting clamp has a pivot lever 5 which can be pivoted into the insertion region 3.
- the pivot lever 5 is e.g. a stamped part.
- a conductor 6 can be pressed into the holding area 4 from the insertion area 3 by means of the pivot lever 5. In the holding area 4, the conductor 6 can be clamped between the conductor receiving parts 2.
- the pivot lever 5 is electrically conductive and has a plurality of contact tips 7 which face the conductor 6.
- the swivel lever 5 has an electrically insulating casing 8. At the top of the
- a lever 9 is formed on the pivot lever 5, to which an actuating tool, for example a screwdriver, can be attached. As a result, the pivot lever 5 can be pivoted with little effort.
- An electrically conductive contact element 10 is arranged in the base body 1. Like the swivel lever 5, the contact element 10 has contact tips 11 which face the conductor 6. When pivoting the pivot lever 5, the contact tips 7, 11 penetrate any insulation of the conductor 6 and thus contact it. The electrical contact is then passed on to a second conductor 6 'which is clamped between a second pair of cooperating conductor receiving parts 12.
- the second pair of conductor receiving elements 12 is completely equivalent to the first pair of conductor receiving parts 2.
- the second pair of conductor receiving elements 12 is also made of plastic. Its outer sides are therefore also electrically insulating. They also have the outer distance a.
- the base body 1 consists of two half-shells 1 ', 1 "formed symmetrically to one another. Each of the half-shells 1', 1" has a conductor receiving part 2, 12 each of the pairs of
- the half-shells 1 ', 1 have interacting fixing and holding elements 13, 14, by means of which the half-shells 1', 1" can be pressed into one another in a positive and non-positive manner.
- the connecting clamp can thus be formed by simply assembling two half-shells 1 ', 1 ".
- the fixing and holding elements 13, 14 are designed, for example, as pins and recesses.
- the external distance a is at most as large as the basic body width d. If, on the other hand, a conductor 6 or 6 'is inserted between the conductor receiving parts 2, 12, the conductor receiving parts 2, 12 yield elastically. This increases the outside distance a.
- the effective width of the connecting terminal is consequently determined by the conductor cross section of the actually inserted conductor 6, 6 ', not by the maximum permissible conductor cross section.
- the connecting gill according to the invention always only takes up the minimum space required.
