Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection device is provided for electrically conductive connection of an insulated, electrical conductor to a (different) electrical line and / or any electrical device.
  • This device may for example consist of any current consumer, such as an electric lighting device, in particular continuous line lighting device, or a socket or any other electrical apparatus or device.
  • the continuous line lighting fixtures include cabling with a plurality of conductors running along the row of lighting units.
  • the wiring is often composed of wires or multi-core flat cables, which are connected at fixed intervals, for example, about 1.25 m intervals via connectors. These connectors have terminal connections that can be connected to the leading to the light units branch lines.
  • Such a wiring has the disadvantage that many multipolar, rather expensive connectors must be provided for the wires or flat cable, in addition often only partially used for connecting branch lines.
  • the branch lines often become relatively long, namely more than 1 m long. When installing the branch lines, care must be taken that they fit in the trunking rail and / or in the housings and are not damaged. Such wiring and its installation are therefore quite complex and expensive.
  • EP 0 653 803 A discloses a one-piece, plastic-made holder with two substantially symmetrical, elongated holder elements, which are connected at their one ends by a web. This is deformable, serves as a hinge and defines a pivot axis. Each of the two holder elements has in the vicinity of its ends facing away from the hinge a cross-sectionally approximately semicircular, continuous recess, which forms a short, parallel to the pivot axis channel.
  • the two holder elements can be pivoted relative to each other about the pivot axis from an open position to a clamping position, in which the recesses or channels together form a passage for receiving an electrical conductor.
  • the one, first holder member holds an approximately U-shaped contact with two legs. These each have a cutting section with a slot near their free, the hinge-facing ends.
  • the two cutting sections together form a cutting clamp and protrude out of the first holder element such that the mouths of the slots of the cutting sections are outside the first holder element.
  • an insulated electrical conductor of this is between the arranged in an open-position holder elements. Then they are pivoted into the clamping position, so that the conductor is pressed into the slots of the two cutting sections of the insulation displacement terminal.
  • the insulating jacket of the conductor is cut open. Furthermore, the wire core of a conductive core of the conductor is electrically connected to the insulation displacement terminal.
  • the hinge forming web of the holder has a narrow slot through which a plug contact of a plug can be inserted into the holder, so that the plug contact of the plug comes into contact with the cutting terminal forming contact. The housing of the plug then engages around the hinge and parts of the two holder elements and secures them against pivoting into the open position.
  • connection device the two slots of the cutting sections are significantly further away from the pivot axis than from the ends remote from the pivot axis or edges of the two holder elements.
  • a tool such as a pair of pliers or the like, is required to clamp the connecting device to the conductor.
  • the plug can only be inserted into and on the holder when it is clamped to an electrical conductor and connected thereto.
  • the conductor since the cutting clamp is quite far from the hinge and protrudes from the retaining member holding it, the conductor must be positioned rather accurately in an intended position, in which the holder is in an open position, so that the conductive core of the conductor upon compression of the two holder elements is actually pressed into the two slots of the insulation displacement terminal.
  • a U-shaped or C-shaped support rail for example, approximately in cross-section, is usually mounted movably or immovably on the ceiling of a room. Further, extending along the support rail, electrical conductors are attached to the support rail. An installer must then usually climb on a ladder or the like to attach one of the light units to the previously mounted on the ceiling mounting rail and connect the electrical conductor along the mounting rail, electrically connected to the light unit.
  • connecting devices of the type known from EP 0 653 803 A - as mentioned - to place an electrical conductor pretty much in the connecting device, then squeeze the holder with a pair of pliers and then a plug in and on the In particular, such connecting devices are not suitable for connecting lighting strip lighting units or other luminaires and devices which are mounted on a ceiling.
  • One of the US 4,461,528 A known connection device also has a one-piece holder with two hingedly connected by a hinge holder elements.
  • the one, referred to as a lid holder member holds a contact with two each having a slot cutting clamps.
  • the other, called body holder element has two perpendicular to the pivot axis channels.
  • One of these channels is continuous and serves for Picking up a continuous electrical conductor.
  • the other channel is closed at one end and serves to receive the end portion of an electrical branch conductor.
  • connection device known from US 4,461,528 A is therefore also not suitable for connecting a conductor with a continuous-line lighting unit or other lamp or device which is mounted on the ceiling of a room. Since the continuous conductor runs in the clamping position perpendicular to the pivot axis laterally adjacent to the hinge, the hinge can only have a relatively narrow web. This affects the stability and durability of the holder.
  • FR 2 825 522 A discloses a connection device which can be attached to a two-core cable and has a holder which has two originally separate, identically formed, plug-in holder elements with one channel each.
  • the channels of the two holder elements limit the composite holder a passage for the cable.
  • Each of the two holder elements makes contact with a cutting clamp.
  • Each insulation displacement terminal has two barb-shaped tips that are offset from one another in the longitudinal direction of the passage and, when the connection device is clamped on the cable, penetrate through its insulation into the electrically conductive core or into the core of one of the conductors of the cable.
  • a two-pole connector suitable for the connection device has two plug contacts, each of which can be brought into contact with the contact held in the relevant holder element by a slot provided in one of the two holder elements.
  • This connection device known from FR 2 825 522 A also has the disadvantage that a large force must be exerted on the two holder elements for clamping the connection device to a cable, so that the tips of the two insulation displacement terminals penetrate into the conductive cores through the insulation of the cable or invade souls of the cable.
  • the two holder elements can therefore in practice probably only with the help of a pair of pliers assembled into a holder and clamped to a cable become.
  • the barbed tips violate the conductive cores or souls of the cable as they enter it.
  • connection device known from FR 2 825 522 A is intended in particular for connecting radiant heaters mounted on a ceiling of a room, it is in practice just like the connection device according to EP 0 825 522 A only poorly suited for the connection of a device. which was or will be mounted on a ceiling.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an electrical connection device having a cutting terminal, can be avoided with the disadvantages of the known connection devices and in particular allows to push a conductor without tools in at least one slot of the insulation displacement terminal and conductively connected to the latter ,
  • the connection device should also be economically producible and allow the conductor via the connection device quickly and easily electrically conductive with a (different) electrical line and / or any electrical device, such as any power consumers, in particular mounted on a ceiling of a room electrical device , as a lighting unit of a lighting strip lighting device or other lighting device to connect.
  • the connecting device should also be usable to connect a conductor arranged, for example, in a cable duct with a socket or any other electrical apparatus or device.
  • the connecting device after clamping to a conductor should give a stable and permanent connection with this.
  • the cutting clamp should either already before pushing a conductor into the insulation displacement terminal or only then be connectable to the said (other) line.
