In den Isolierstoffgehäusen 18 ist eine jeweils wenigstens eine oder mehrere Anschlussvorrichtung(en) ausgebildet. Die Anschlussvorrichtungen können in einer beliebigen Anschlusstechnik ausgelegt sein, , z.B. nach Art des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Zufederanschlusses mit den dazugehörigen Öffnungen für den Leiter und einen Schraubendreher im Isolierstoffgehäuse, aber auch als Schraubschluss, als Direktsteckanschluss, als Schneid-/Klemmkontakt (IDC), als Piercingkontakt oder in sonstiger beliebiger Weise.In the insulating housing 18 is in each case at least one or more connecting device (s) educated. The connection devices can be in any Be designed connection technology, e.g. in the manner of the one shown in Fig. 1 Zufederanschlusses with the associated openings for the conductor and a Screwdriver in insulating material housing, but also as screw terminal, as direct plug connection, as a cutting / clamping contact (IDC), as a piercing contact or in other any way.

Nach Fig. 1 ist die Anschlußvorrichtung als Zugfederanschluß 19 mit den dazu gehörigen Metallteilen (Zugfeder 20, Stromschiene 21 usw. und Öffnungen 22, 23 zum Einführen eines Schraubendrehers und eines Leiters ausgebildet). Wesentlich und den gewählten Anschlussvorrichtungen in beliebiger Technik gemeinsam ist, dass sie in einer Kontakttulpe 24 enden, die zur Kontaktierung des Flachkontaktes ausgelegt ist. Die Isolierstoffgehäuse 18 der Anschlussmodule 3 weisen jeweils eine Öffnung 25 auf, in die jeweils die freien Ende der Flachkontakte 9 in den Kammern 4 eingreifen, um dort die Kontakttulpen 24 zu kontaktieren.According to Fig. 1, the connecting device as Zugfederanschluß 19 with the associated Metal parts (tension spring 20, busbar 21, etc. and openings 22, 23 for Insertion of a screwdriver and a conductor formed). Essential and the common connection devices in any technique that they are in a contact tulip 24, which is designed for contacting the flat contact. The insulating housing 18 of the connection modules 3 each have an opening 25 on, in each of which engage the free end of the flat contacts 9 in the chambers 4, to contact the contact tulips 24 there.

Die Isolierstoffgehäuse 18 können je nach Anforderung, zu erfüllender Vorschriften und dgl. beidseits der Anschlußvorrichtung geschlossen oder ein- oder beidseitig offen ausgebildet sein. Je nach Auslegung kann unter Umständen sogar auf die ansonsten vorteilhaften Zwischenwände 5 zwischen den Kammern 4 verzichtet werden.The Isolierstoffgehäuse 18 can, depending on the requirements, to be met regulations and the like. Closed on both sides of the connection device or one or both sides open be educated. Depending on the design may even be on the otherwise advantageous intermediate walls 5 are dispensed between the chambers 4.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, das an einem elektrischen Gerät entweder nur die Andockmöglichkeit für das Gerät geschaffen werden muss oder aber ein Aufnahmeschacht für die Module, in welchem eine Reihe von Flachkontakten versehen ist. Je nach Anwendungsfall wählt sodann der Anwender die gewünschte Anschlusstechnik aus, ohne das die elektrischen Geräte an sich für die jeweilige Anschlusstechnik konfiguriert werden müssen.The invention has the advantage that on an electrical device either only docking must be created for the device or a receiving shaft for the modules, in which a series of flat contacts is provided. ever After application, the user then selects the desired connection technology without the electrical equipment itself configured for the respective connection technology Need to become.
