Definitions
- the invention relates to a connecting terminal, in particular terminal block, which has at least two mutually assigned wheel-like connecting elements, which are provided with knife-like connecting bodies for connecting conductors inserted into conductor insertion openings in insulation displacement technology, in particular according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Connecting elements can be one Take the electrical contact position and an open position.
- Such connection terminals are known (DE: 198 25 630.2; ⁇ 3 (2), number 1).
- the connecting body is arranged so that it can rotate in the connecting element, in the switched-on position an electrically conductive connection being made along the wheel-like connecting elements and via connecting brackets and again along the wheel-like connecting element to the other connecting body.
- the invention has for its object to develop a screwless connector so that a simple and easy to use structure is achieved.
- connection clamp according to claim 1.
- the wheel-like guidance of the connecting members is accommodated in a rotary bearing formed by the side walls of the housing. This means that the space between the pivot bearing is fully available for the cross-section of the conductor to be connected.
- the knife-like connection bodies are arranged outside the connection members and are electrically connected to one another. For those to be connected Conductors which are inserted into the connector body and whose insulation is cut when a connector member is pivoted, the connector bodies are conductively connected in the switched-on position.
- This line can be formed by a conductor or by a spherical design. Connection elements and electrical connection can be carried out easily.
- a tool opening in particular for a screwdriver for actuation, can advantageously be formed in the connecting member, as is known per se.
- the conductor guiding opening and the tool guiding opening can advantageously be formed on one side of the housing of the connecting terminal.
- the conductor opening with the tool insertion opening is advantageously arranged in the V-formation. This gives you freedom of the fingers.
- Handling is simplified if the conductor guide opening and the tool guide opening are designed to be optically different, for example the conductor guide opening is round and the tool guide opening is rectangular. Handling is further simplified if the connection elements are designed to be latchable. The latching can advantageously be designed in the open position. Very little twisting forces are exerted on a mounting rail and on the housing if the connecting members are designed with opposite connection directions.
- the connecting bodies can be designed as fork-like knives, between which a conductor can be pivoted in through the connecting member. It can be advantageous if the knives are wedge-shaped at or above their snows in order to print on the insulation.
- the knives of two assigned connection bodies can be connected in a bow-like manner. Brackets and knives can be made in one
- connection terminal 1 shows a connecting terminal with the side wall removed in the top view and with inserted conductors.
- the left connection element is illustrated in the connection position and the right connection element in a position before connection.
- FIG. 2 the connecting terminal according to FIG. 1 is shown again in perspective with the side wall placed on in supervision.
- FIG. 3 shows the connection terminal in the representation according to FIG. 1, but without an inserted conductor.
- the connecting terminal according to FIG 1 is designed in the manner of a terminal block. It has two mutually associated wheel-like connecting elements 1 and 2, which have knife-like connecting bodies 3 and 4 for connecting conductors 5, which are inserted into conductor insertion openings 6.
- the connecting element 1 is pivoted in an electrically contacting position and the connecting element 2 assumes the open position.
- the wheel-like guide 7 of the connecting members 1 and 2 is received by a rotary bearing which form the housing side walls 8.
- the knife-like connecting bodies 3 and 4 are arranged outside the connecting members 1 and 2 and are electrically connected to one another.
- the conductor insertion openings 6 are formed in the connection members 1, 2 guided in the manner of a wheel.
- the conductors 5 to be connected are pivoted in against the connecting bodies, which are designed in a very simple manner as fixed knives 3, 4.
- the connecting bodies 3, 4 are advantageously designed as fork-like knives. It is advantageous if the knives are wedge-shaped on or above their cutting edge. They can be assigned to the connector body connect like a bow. In the exemplary embodiment, the knives of the connecting bodies and the connecting bracket between the connecting bodies are formed in one plane.
- a tool insertion opening 9 is formed in the connecting members 1, 2 for actuation.
- a screwdriver is particularly suitable as a tool.
- the conductor insertion opening 6 and the tool insertion opening 9 for the connecting members 1, 2 are formed on one side of the housing of the connecting terminal.
- Conductor insertion opening 6 is arranged in a V-formation with the tool insertion opening 9, whereby finger freedom is achieved.
- the conductor insertion opening 6 is round and the tool insertion opening 9 is rectangular in cross section, as a result of which they also differ slightly optically.
- the connection members 1 and 2 are designed to be latchable, in which, in the open position, a latch spring 11 can latch in a latching receptacle 12 in the open position. The open position is thereby secured.
- a flat connecting bracket 13 extends between the connecting bodies 3, 4 designed as fork-like knives.
- the connecting members 1, 2 are only electrically connected via the connecting bodies 3, 4 in the switched-on position.
- connection clamp has direct contact without welding points. It delivers high contact Power and can be carried out extremely easily vibration-proof.
- a steel cutter can be used to cut tough insulation.
