Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindungsklemme, mit einem elektrisch isolierenden Grundkörper mit einer Grundkörperbreite und einem ersten Paar zusammenwirkender, an den Grundkörper angeformter Leiteraufnahmeteile mit Außenseiten, wobei zwischen den Leiteraufnahmeteilen ein Leiter mit einem Leiterquerschnitt bis zu einem Maximalquerschnitt klemmbar ist, wobei die Außenseiten einen Außenabstand zueinander aufweisen.The present invention relates to a connecting clamp, with an electrically insulating body with a Body width and a first pair of interacting the base body of molded-on conductor receiving parts with outer sides, with a conductor with between the conductor receiving parts a conductor cross-section up to a maximum cross-section is clampable, the outer sides being an outer distance from one another exhibit.
Eine derartige Verbindungsklemme ist aus der US-A-3,895,852 bekannt.Such a connection clamp is from US-A-3,895,852 known.
Die Verbindungsklemme des Standes der Technik ist in einem Gehäuse angeordnet, so daß sie stets die gleiche Breite aufweist, unabhängig davon, ob ein Leiter zwischen den Leiteraufnahmeteilen angeordnet ist oder nicht. Die Breite ist auch unabhängig davon, welchen Leiterquerschnitt ein eventueller Leiter aufweist.The connecting clamp of the prior art is in one Housing arranged so that it always has the same width, regardless of whether a conductor is between the conductor receiving parts is arranged or not. The width is too regardless of which conductor cross-section a possible Head has.
Insbesondere bei einem Leiter mit einem Leiterquerschnitt unterhalb des Maximalquerschnitts könnte die Verbindungsklemme eine geringere Breite aufweisen. In diesem Fall wird also Platz in einem Schaltschrank oder dergleichen, in dem die Verbindungsklemme montiert ist, vergeudet.Especially with a conductor with a conductor cross section below of the maximum cross section could be the connecting terminal have a smaller width. So in this case Space in a control cabinet or the like, in which the Connection clamp is installed, wasted.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Verbindungsklemme zu schaffen, welche stets nur so wenig Platz wie nötig verbraucht.The object of the present invention is a To create connecting clamp, which is always so little Space used up as necessary.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Außenseiten elektrisch isolierend sind, daß bei leiterfreien Leiteraufnahmeteilen der Außenabstand maximal so groß wie die Grundkörperbreite und bei zwischen den Leiteraufnahmeteilen angeordnetem Leiter mit Maximalquerschnitt der Außenabstand größer als die Grundkörperbreite ist. The object is achieved in that the outer sides are electrical are insulating that with conductor-free conductor receiving parts the external distance is as large as the basic body width and when arranged between the conductor receiving parts Conductors with maximum cross-section the outside distance larger than that Basic body width is.
Wenn die Leiteraufnahmeteile einen zu einer Einführseite hin offenen, sich trichterförmig verjüngenden Einführbereich und einen im wesentlichen geschlossenen Haltebereich bilden, ist der Leiter besonders leicht zwischen die Leiteraufnahmeteile einführbar und wird auch gut zwischen den Leiteraufnahmeteilen gehalten.When the conductor receiving parts lead you to an insertion side open, funnel-shaped insertion area and form a substantially closed holding area the conductor is particularly light between the conductor receiving parts insertable and will also work well between the conductor receiving parts held.
Die Verbindungsklemme ist besonders einfach bedienbar, wenn die Verbindungsklemme zum Eindrücken des Leiters in den Haltebereich einen in den Einführbereich schwenkbaren Schwenkhebel aufweist. Aus Gründen des Berührschutzes sollte der Schwenkhebel dabei eine elektrisch isolierende Ummantelung aufweisen.The connection clamp is particularly easy to use, if the connecting clamp for pressing the conductor into the holding area a swivel lever that can be swiveled into the insertion area having. For reasons of protection against accidental contact Swivel lever with an electrically insulating sheathing exhibit.
Wenn der Schwenkhebel ein Ansetzelement zum Ansetzen eines Betätigungswerkzeuges aufweist, ist der Leiter mit besonders geringem Kraftaufwand in den Haltebereich einführbar.If the swivel lever is an attachment element for attaching a Has actuating tool, the conductor is special little effort can be inserted into the holding area.
Die Herstellung der Verbindungsklemme ist besonders einfach und kostengünstig, wenn der Grundkörper aus zwei symmetrisch zueinander ausgebildeten Halbschalen besteht, die Verbindungsklemme ein zweites Paar zusammenwirkender Leiteraufnahmeteile mit elektrisch isolierenden Außenseiten aufweist und an jeder der Halbschalen je ein Leiteraufnahmeteil je eines der Paare von Leiteraufnahmeteilen angeformt ist, so daß die Verbindungsklemme durch Zusammensetzen zweier Halbschalen bildbar ist.The production of the connecting clamp is particularly simple and inexpensive if the base body consists of two symmetrical half-shells formed to each other, the connecting clamp a second pair of cooperating conductor receiving parts with electrically insulating outer sides and on each of the half shells, one conductor receiving part each of the pairs of conductor receiving parts is molded so that the Connection clamp by assembling two half shells is imaginable.
Der Kontakt zu einem elektrischen Leiter ist noch zuverlässiger,
wenn im Grundkörper ein elektrisch leitendes Kontaktelement
angeordnet ist.
Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten ergeben sich aus den übrigen
Ansprüchen sowie der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines
Ausführungsbeispiels. Dabei zeigen in Prinzipdarstellung
- FIG 1

- eine Halbschale mit Schwenkhebeln.
Further advantages and details emerge from the remaining claims and the following description of an exemplary embodiment. Show in principle
- FIG. 1
- a connecting clamp and
- FIG 2
- a half shell with swivel levers.
Gemäß FIG 1 weist eine Verbindungsklemme einen starren Grundkörper
1 und ein erstes Paar zusammenwirkender elastischer
Leiteraufnahmeteile 2 auf. Der Grundkörper 1 besteht aus einem
elektrisch isolierenden Material, z.B. Kunststoff. Er
weist eine Grundkörperbreite d auf. Die Leiteraufnahmeteile 2
sind ebenfalls aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material,
z.B. Kunststoff. Auch ihre Außenseiten 2' sind somit elektrisch
isolierend. Die Außenseiten 2' weisen einen Außenabstand
a zueinander auf.According to FIG 1, a connecting terminal has a rigid base body
1 and a first pair of cooperating elastic
Die Leiteraufnahmeteile 2 bilden einerseits einen Einführbereich
3 und andererseits einen Haltebereich 4. Der Einführbereich
3 ist zu einer Einführseite hin offen und verjüngt sich
zum Haltebereich 4 hin trichterförmig. Der Haltebereich 4 ist
im wesentlichen geschlossen.The
Die Verbindungsklemme weist einen Schwenkhebel 5 auf, der in
den Einführbereich 3 schwenkbar ist. Der Schwenkhebel 5 ist
z.B. ein Stanzteil. Mittels des Schwenkhebels 5 kann ein Leiter
6 vom Einführbereich 3 in den Haltebereich 4 eingedrückt
werden. Im Haltebereich 4 ist der Leiter 6 zwischen den Leiteraufnahmeteilen
2 klemmbar.The connecting terminal has a
Der Schwenkhebel 5 ist elektrisch leitend und weist mehrere
Kontaktspitzen 7 auf, die dem Leiter 6 zugewandt sind. Aus
Gründen des Berührschutzes weist der Schwenkhebel 5 eine
elektrisch isolierende Ummantelung 8 auf. An der Spitze des
Schwenkhebels 5 ist ein Ansetzelement 9 angeformt, an das ein
Betätigungswerkzeug, z.B. ein Schraubendreher, angesetzt werden
kann. Hierdurch ist der Schwenkhebel 5 mit geringem
Kraftaufwand verschwenkbar. The
Im Grundkörper 1 ist ein elektrisch leitendes Kontaktelement
10 angeordnet. Das Kontaktelement 10 weist ebenso wie der
Schwenkhebel 5 Kontaktspitzen 11 auf, die dem Leiter 6 zugewandt
sind. Beim Verschwenken des Schwenkhebels 5 durchdringen
die Kontaktspitzen 7, 11 eine etwaige Isolierung des Leiters
6 und kontaktieren diesen somit. Der elektrische Kontakt
wird dann zu einem zweiten Leiter 6' weitergeführt, der zwischen
einem zweiten Paar zusammenwirkender Leiteraufnahmeteile
12 geklemmt ist.In the base body 1 there is an electrically
Das zweite Paar Leiteraufnahmeelemente 12 ist völlig gleichwertig
mit dem ersten Paar von Leiteraufnahmeteilen 2. Insbesondere
besteht das zweite Paar von Leiteraufnahmeelementen
12 ebenfalls aus Kunststoff. Seine Außenseiten sind somit
ebenfalls elektrisch isolierend. Sie weisen ferner ebenfalls
den Außenabstand a auf.The second pair of
Der Grundkörper 1 besteht zwei symmetrisch zueinander ausgebildeten
Halbschalen 1', 1". An jeder der Halbschalen 1', 1"
ist je ein Leiteraufnahmeteil 2, 12 je eines der Paare von
Leiteraufnahmeteilen 2, 12 angeformt. Ferner weisen die Halbschalen
1', 1" zusammenwirkende Fixier- und Halteelemente 13,
14 auf, mittels derer die Halbschalen 1', 1" form- und kraftschlüssig
ineinander verpressbar sind. Somit kann durch einfaches
Zusammensetzen zweier Halbschalen 1', 1" die Verbindungsklemme
gebildet werden. Die Fixier- und Halteelemente
13, 14 sind z.B. als Zapfen und Ausnehmungen ausgebildet.The base body 1 consists of two symmetrically formed
Half shells 1 ', 1 ". On each of the half shells 1', 1"
is a
Bei unbestückter Verbindungsklemme, d.h. bei leiterfreien
Leiteraufnahmeteilen 2, 12, ist der Außenabstand a maximal so
groß wie die Grundkörperbreite d. Wenn hingegen zwischen die
Leiteraufnahmeteile 2, 12 ein Leiter 6 bzw. 6' eingeführt
wird, so geben die Leiteraufnahmeteile 2, 12 elastisch nach.
Hierdurch vergrößert sich der Außenabstand a. If the connection terminal is not equipped, i.e. with conductor-free
Der Leiter 6, 6' kann einen Leiterquerschnitt bis zu einem
Maximalquerschnitt aufweisen. Der Außenabstand a paßt sich
dem tatsächlichen Leiterquerschnitt an. Wenn der Leiter 6, 6'
den Maximalquerschnitt annimmt, ist der Außenabstand a größer
als die Grundkörperbreite d. Die wirksame Breite der Verbindungsklemme
wird folglich durch den Leiterquerschnitt des
tatsächlich eingeführten Leiters 6, 6' bestimmt, nicht durch
den maximal zulässigen Leiterquerschnitt. Somit verbraucht
die erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsklemme stets nur den minimal
benötigten Platz.The
