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

FIG 2

Contact with an electrical conductor is even more reliable if an electrically conductive contact element is arranged in the base body.
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 Conductor receiving parts 2. The base body 1 consists of a electrically insulating material, e.g. Plastic. He 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 electrical insulating. The outer sides 2 'have an outer distance a to each other.

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 conductor receiving parts 2 form an insertion area on the one hand 3 and on the other hand a holding area 4. The insertion area 3 is open to an insertion side and tapers funnel-shaped towards the holding area 4. The holding area 4 is essentially closed.

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 pivot lever 5, which in the insertion area 3 is pivotable. The pivot lever 5 is e.g. a stamped part. By means of the pivot lever 5, a conductor 6 pressed into the holding area 4 from the insertion area 3 become. In the holding area 4, the conductor 6 is between the conductor receiving parts 2 clampable.

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 pivot lever 5 is electrically conductive and has several Contact tips 7, which face the conductor 6. Out For reasons of protection against contact, the swivel lever 5 has a electrically insulating sheath 8. At the top of the A lever 9 is integrally formed on the swivel lever 5 Actuating tool, e.g. a screwdriver can. As a result, the pivot lever 5 is small Force swiveling.

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 conductive contact element 10 arranged. The contact element 10 has the same as that Swivel lever 5 contact tips 11 facing the head 6 are. Penetrate when swiveling the swivel lever 5 the contact tips 7, 11 any insulation of the conductor 6 and thus contact him. The electrical contact is then passed on to a second conductor 6 'which between a second pair of cooperating conductor receiving parts 12 is clamped.

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 conductor receiving elements 12 is completely equivalent with the first pair of conductor receiving parts 2. In particular there is the second pair of conductor receiving elements 12 also made of plastic. His outsides are therefore also electrically insulating. They also point out the outside distance a.

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 conductor receiving part 2, 12 each one of the pairs of Conductor receiving parts 2, 12 molded. Furthermore, the half shells have 1 ', 1 "interacting fixing and holding elements 13, 14 on, by means of which the half-shells 1 ', 1 "positively and non-positively are compressible into each other. So by simple Assembling two half shells 1 ', 1 "the connecting clamp be formed. The fixing and holding elements 13, 14 are e.g. designed as pins and recesses.

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 Conductor receiving parts 2, 12, the outer distance a is a maximum large as the basic body width d. If, however, between the Conductor receiving parts 2, 12 a conductor 6 or 6 'introduced , the conductor receiving parts 2, 12 give way elastically. This increases the outside distance a.

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 conductor 6, 6 'can have a conductor cross-section of up to one Have maximum cross section. The outside distance a fits the actual conductor cross section. If the conductor 6, 6 ' assumes the maximum cross section, the outer distance a is larger than the basic body width d. The effective width of the connection clamp is consequently determined by the cross section of the conductor actually introduced conductor 6, 6 'determined, not by the maximum permissible conductor cross-section. Thus consumed the connecting terminal according to the invention always only minimal needed space.
