Ein derartiges Leiteranschlußelement dient zur lösbaren, schnell und einfach auszuführenden Verbindung von elektrischen Leitern mit elektrischen Schneidktemmkontakten.Such a conductor connection element is used for releasable, fast and easy to be performed connection of electrical conductors with electrical Schneidktemmkontakten.

Aus der gattungsbildenden US-A-4764125, die als nächstliegender Stand der Technik anzusehen ist, ist ein zweiteiliger Kabelanschlussblock für elektrische Leiter bekannt, bestehend aus einem unteren isolierenden Anschlusselement, in dem mit Schneidklemmen versehene Kontaktelemente fixiert sind, sowie einer entsprechend geformten, isolierenden oberen Abdeckhaube, die in dem Kabelanschlussblock in einer Kammer verschiebbar geführt ist. Der elektrische Leiter wird in eine Aufnahmeöffnung in der Abdeckhaube eingeschoben und zusammen mit der Abdeckhaube mittels einer Verschraubung auf das untere Anschlusselement geschraubt. From the generic US-A-4764125, which is considered to be the closest prior art, is a two-piece cable connection block known for electrical conductors, consisting of a lower insulating connecting element, in which provided with insulation displacement terminals Contact elements are fixed, as well as a correspondingly shaped, insulating upper cover, which in the cable connection block in a chamber slidably guided. The electrical conductor is in a receiving opening inserted in the cover and together with the cover screwed by a screw on the lower connection element.

Dabei wird der elektrische Leiter in die Schneidklemmen des Kontaktelementes gepresst.In this case, the electrical conductor is in the insulation displacement of the contact element pressed.

Aus der EP 554 810 A2 ist ein elektrischer Steckverbinder zum Anschluß von isolierten elektrischen Leitern bekannt, bei dem die elektrischen Leiter in 2-fach umgelenkten Bohrungen eines Leiterführungselementes geschoben werden und innerhalb der Umlenkung mittels Schneidklemmen kontaktiert werden.From EP 554 810 A2 an electrical connector for connection of insulated electrical conductors known, in which the electrical conductors pushed in 2-fold deflected holes a conductor guide element be contacted within the deflection by means of insulation displacement terminals become.

Ungünstig wirkt sich bei den bekannten Verbindungen mit Schneidklemmen aus, daß einfache Schneidklemmkontakte auf Grund der kleinen Berührungsflächen zwischen den elektrischen Leitern und den schmalen Kontaktschneiden nur begrenzte Stromstärken übertragen können.Unfavorable affects in the known compounds with insulation displacement terminals from that simple insulation displacement contacts due to the small contact surfaces between the electrical conductors and the narrow contact blades can transmit only limited currents.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Leiteranschlußelement der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, mit dem eine einfache Montage und Verbindung von elektrischen Leitern ermöglicht wird, wobei auch hohe Ströme übertragen werden können.The invention is therefore based on the object, a conductor connection element of the type mentioned in the form of a simple Assembly and connection of electrical conductors is possible, wherein even high currents can be transmitted.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Leiteranschlußelement als doppelseitiges Anschlußelement ausgebildet ist, wobei der einstückige Anschlußkörper aus zwei gegenüberliegenden, U-förmigen Leiteraufnahmekammern gebildet ist, die für die Aufnahme jeweils eines elektrischen Leiters vorgesehen sind, und dass die Gewindebohrung in einer Anformung des Anschlußkörpers vorgesehen ist, die sich über der Leiteraufnahmekammer erstreckt.This object is achieved in that the conductor connection element as double-sided connection element is formed, wherein the one-piece Connection body of two opposite, U-shaped conductor receiving chambers is formed, for receiving each of an electrical conductor are provided, and that the threaded bore in a Anformung of Terminal body is provided, which extends over the conductor receiving chamber extends.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2-10 angegeben. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the claims 2-10 specified.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß ein Leiteranschlußelement mit einer doppelt ausgeführten Schneidklemmenanordnung mit wesentlich höheren Stromstärken beaufschlagt werden kann, wobei die Schneidklemmen symmetrisch zur mittig dazwischen angeordneten Klemmschraube angeordnet sind.
Weiterhin ist durch eine Schneidklemmkontaktierung eine sichere elektrische Kontaktierung gewährleistet, die auch bei größeren Kabelquerschnitten nur geringe Betätigungskräfte erfordert.
Aufgrund der offenen Bauweise des Leiteranschlußelementes, bei der die Kontaktierungsstelle direkt eingesehen werden kann, ist zudem eine einfache visuelle Kontrolle über den Kontaktierungszustand zwischen Schneidklemme und elektrischem Leiter von Vorteil.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ergibt sich durch den Einsatz einer Klemmschraube mit einem sich nicht drehenden Druckstück, welches den elektrischen Leiter in die Schneidklemmen drückt, wobei die sonst noch zusätzlich auftretenden Reibungskräfte auf die Ummantelung des elektrischen Leiters durch die sich drehende Klemmschraube vermieden werden.
The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that a conductor connection element can be acted upon with a double-running insulation displacement arrangement with much higher currents, wherein the insulation displacement terminals are arranged symmetrically to the centrally arranged between clamping screw.
Furthermore, a secure electrical contact is ensured by a insulation displacement, which requires only small actuation forces even with larger cable cross-sections.
Due to the open design of the conductor connection element, in which the contact point can be viewed directly, also a simple visual control of the Kontaktierungszustand between insulation displacement and electrical conductor is beneficial.
An advantageous development of the invention results from the use of a clamping screw with a non-rotating pressure piece, which presses the electrical conductor in the insulation displacement terminals, wherein the otherwise additionally occurring frictional forces are avoided on the sheathing of the electrical conductor by the rotating clamping screw.

The terminal body 10 is formed by two centrally connected legs 13 and 14, wherein by the legs and a right angle attached to the leg 13 Anformung 15 a conductor receiving chamber 12 is formed, in which an electrical conductor 9 through an opening 17 can be inserted.

In dem Beispiel der Fig. 1b ist der H-förmig ausgebildeter Anschlußkörper 10 gezeigt, wobei in der Anformung 15 eine zentrische Gewindebohrung 16 angeordnet ist.
Weiterhin ist jeweils in den Schmalseiten der Schenkel eine vertiefte Ausnehmung 19 vorgesehen, die einen mittigen Zapfen 26 im Verbindungsbereich der beiden Schenkel aufweist. In diese Ausnehmungen ist je eine Schneidklemme 20 mit einer entsprechenden Bohrung 25 für den Zapfen 26 klemmend einfügbar.
Die inneren verrundeten Konturen der Leiteraufnahmekammer 12 sind an die runde Form der elektrischen Leiter 9 angepasst, während die Außenkontur eine längliche, rechtwinklig ausgeführte Form des Anschlußkörpers aufweist.
In die zentrische Gewindebohrung 16 der Anformung 15 ist in, wie in der Fig. 1a gezeigt, eine Klemmschraube 3 eingeschraubt, die im Bereich der Leiteraufnahmekammer mittels einer aufgerasteten Kunststoffhülse 4 unverlierbar gehalten wird.
In the example of Fig. 1b, the H-shaped connector body 10 is shown, wherein in the Anformung 15 a central threaded bore 16 is arranged.
Furthermore, in each case a recessed recess 19 is provided in the narrow sides of the legs, which has a central pin 26 in the connecting region of the two legs. In each of these recesses a cutting clamp 20 with a corresponding bore 25 for the pin 26 is inserted by clamping.

Je nach Drehrichtung der Klemmschraube 3 wird das Ende der Kunststoffhülse 4 höher oder tiefer in der Leiteraufnahmekammer 12 bewegt.
Beidseitig der Klemmschraube sind zwei einzelne Schneidklemmen 20 mittels an deren seitlichen Außenkanten angeformten rechteckigen Rastnasen 24, die in die Ausnehmungen 19 eingreifen, im Trägerkörper 10 verrastet.
Das komplette Leiteranschlußelement 1 wird zur weiteren Verwendung in eine entsprechend geformte Ausnehmung eines hier nicht gezeigten isolierenden Trägergehäuses eingesetzt, wobei mehrere Leiteranschlußelemente in einem Trägergehäuse aneinanderreihbar sind.
Zur Kontaktierung eines Leiteranschlußelementes 1 mit einem elektrischen Leiter wird der elektrische Leiter in die Öffnung 17 in die Leiteraufnahmekammer 12 in den Bereich zwischen die Schneidklemmen 20 geschoben. Anschließend wird die Klemmschraube 3 mit einem entsprechenden Werkzeug in Richtung der Schneidklemmen gedreht, so dass der elektrische Leiter 9 zwischen die Schneidklemmen 20 beidseitig der Klemmschraube gepreßt wird, wobei die Ummantelung des Leiters jeweils durch die beiden Schneidklemmen zerschnitten wird und ein doppelter elektrischer Kontakt zwischen Leiter und Schneidklemmen sicher gestellt ist, so dass auch hohe Ströme über diese Kontaktierung geleitet werden können.

On both sides of the clamping screw are two individual insulation displacement terminals 20 by means of formed on the lateral outer edges of rectangular locking lugs 24 which engage in the recesses 19, locked in the carrier body 10.
The complete conductor connection element 1 is used for further use in a correspondingly shaped recess of an insulating support housing, not shown here, wherein a plurality of conductor connection elements are in a carrier housing can be lined up.
For contacting a conductor connection element 1 with an electrical conductor, the electrical conductor is pushed into the opening 17 in the conductor receiving chamber 12 in the region between the insulation displacement terminals 20. Subsequently, the clamping screw 3 is rotated with a corresponding tool in the direction of the insulation displacement terminals, so that the electrical conductor 9 is pressed between the insulation displacement terminals 20 on both sides of the clamping screw, wherein the sheath of the conductor is cut by the two insulation displacement terminals and a double electrical contact between conductors and insulation displacement terminals is ensured, so that even high currents can be passed through this contact.

In der Fig. 1c ist in einem Längsschnitt durch ein Leiteranschlußelement 1 gezeigt, wie ein elektrischer Leiter 9 von der Klemmschraube 3 in die Schneiden von zwei Schneidklemmen 20 gedrückt wird.In Fig. 1c is in a longitudinal section through a conductor connection element. 1 shown as an electrical conductor 9 of the clamping screw 3 in the Cutting of two insulation displacement terminals 20 is pressed.

In einer Variante zu der Fig. 1a ist in der Fig. 2 ein ansonsten baugleiches Leiteranschlußelement gezeigt, bei dem jedoch zwei Schneidklemmen mittels eines brückenartigen Steges 23 zu einer einstückigen doppelten Schneidklemme 21 miteinander verbunden sind.
Beidseitig des Steges sind die Schneidklemmen U-förmig abgebogen und in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 19 auf den Anschlußkörper 10 des Leiteranschlußelementes aufgerastet.
In a variant of FIG. 1a, an otherwise identical conductor connection element is shown in FIG. 2, in which, however, two insulation displacement terminals are connected to one another by means of a bridge-like web 23 to form an integral double insulation displacement terminal 21.
On both sides of the web, the cutting terminals are bent in a U-shape and snapped into corresponding recesses 19 on the connector body 10 of the conductor connection element.

In der Fig. 3 ist ein Leiteranschlußelement gezeigt, das vorzugsweise eine mittig zur Klemmschraube 3 angeordnete Schneidklemme 22 aufweist. Dabei ist die Schneidklemme aus dem Material des Anschlußkörpers 10 herausgearbeitet.In Fig. 3, a conductor connection element is shown, which is preferably a has cutting terminal 22 arranged centrally to the clamping screw 3. there the cutting clamp made of the material of the terminal body 10 is worked out.

Below the clamping screw end in the conductor receiving chamber 12, a rectangular pressure piece 5 is provided that is preferably attached by means of a rivet-like attachment rotatably to the end of the clamping screw 3.
By investing a portion of the pressure piece to the inner wall of the leg 13, the pressure piece remains independent of the rotation of the clamping screw - apart from a vertical displacement - in the intended position.
Furthermore, the pressure piece 5 at the opening 17 of the connector body 10 side facing a lower slope to facilitate insertion of an electrical conductor in the conductor receiving chamber 12 to the insulation displacement terminals 20.
Moreover, lugs 6 are integrally formed on the two sides of the pressure piece, which point to the insulation displacement terminals, which are guided with increasing pressing of the electrical conductor into the insulation displacement terminals 20, in the slots between the insulation displacement terminals, whereby an additional anti-rotation is achieved.
By using the non-rotating pressure piece 5, the friction of the clamping screw 3 is further avoided during rotation on the Ummmantelung and at the same time distributes the pressure to a larger area of the electrical conductor.
