  • the support spring has two parallel resilient legs, which are on the side of the metal base.
  • the connection of the metal foot with the support spring is thus already realized in that the metal foot between the two resilient legs of the support spring is clamped.
  • the support spring is realized with two parallel resilient legs is also very easy, for example by punching and bending the thigh possible.
  • the metal base is advantageously connected to the support spring not only by the clamping action of the two parallel legs Support spring, but also by a clamping element, which is on the metal base is trained.
  • the clamping element is advantageously in one piece connected to the metal base and is realized in that between one end of the clamping element and the back of the metal foot a slot for inserting the support spring is formed.
  • the metal base has at least one point for receiving a leg of the mounting rail a mounting recess, the mounting recess is advantageously approximately U-shaped, so that one leg or the end of a leg of the mounting rail in the mounting recess is insertable.
  • the support spring is dimensioned so that the ends the leg of the support spring protrudes beyond the mounting recess.
  • the metal foot only partially extends over the mounting rail and points the Metal base also only a mounting recess, so that the metal base includes only one leg of the mounting rail by clamping, there is indeed one adequate electrical contacting of the metallic protective conductor connection element guaranteed with the mounting rail, for safe mechanical
  • the electrical terminal block must then be fastened to the mounting rail however, the terminal housing has its own fastening recess, into which the second leg of the mounting rail engages.
  • the metal base designed so that it completely the mounting rail engages and is approximately U-shaped and both legs of the mounting rail clamped embraced.
  • the metal protective conductor connection element not just the electrical contacting of a protective conductor with the mounting rail but also the mechanical attachment of the electrical terminal block realized on the mounting rail.
  • the electrical terminal block according to the invention differs from the known electrical terminal blocks only by the design of the metallic Protective conductor connecting element is the subject of the present Invention not only such an electrical terminal block, but also the metallic protective conductor connection element as such.
  • Fig. 1 shows an electrical terminal block 1, the one with two after outside legs 3, 4 provided mounting rail 2 is snapped.
  • a mounting rail 2 is also generally referred to as a top-hat rail, the electrical terminal block according to the invention not only in connection with such top-hat rails, but also with, for example so-called C-shaped mounting rails can be used.
  • the illustrated electrical terminal 1 has an insulating material Terminal housing 5 and several conductor connection elements.
  • electrical terminal block 1 is a Three-tier terminal block, so that the electrical terminal block 1 a Protective conductor connection terminal 7, two outer conductor feed-through terminals 8 and has a neutral terminal 9.
  • the neutral terminal 9 is connected to a disconnect terminal 10 in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the protective conductor connection element arranged in the foot of the electrical terminal block 1 6 consists of a metal base 11 and a support spring 12.
  • the mounting rail 2 is in the embodiment shown here completely overlapped by the metal base 11, for which purpose this is approximately U-shaped is formed and the two legs 3, 4 of the mounting rail 2 includes clamping.
  • the metallic protective conductor connection element 6 is now thereby particularly simple and thus also inexpensive to produce that the Metal base 11 is designed as a flat, narrow metal strip and the support spring 12 has two parallel resilient legs 13, the side of the Fit metal base 11 and in the direction of leg 3 of mounting rail 2 are turned.
  • the support spring in the embodiment 12 is not only connected to the metal base 11 in that the both legs 13 of the support spring 12 lie laterally on the metal base 11, thus clamp the metal foot 11, but that additionally on the metal foot 11 a clamping element 14 is formed.
