  • the invention further relates to a terminal for installation in the terminal receiving space of a service switching device, comprising a clamping end having an operating end and a terminal end opposite thereto, and a terminal body in which a terminal space defined by a land of the terminal body is formed, according to the preamble of Claim 8, and a built-in an installation switching device terminal according to claim 15.
  • a generic connection terminal is suitable for screwing individual connection conductors to the service switching device. It is also still suitable to fix strip-shaped phase rails with their terminal lugs electrically conductive to the service switching device.
  • Generic installation switching devices are for example circuit breaker, residual current circuit breaker or motor protection switch.
  • a current path is passed through at least one access and at least one output terminal through the interior of the service switching device, wherein the current path further assemblies, in particular thermal and / or electromagnetic tripping assemblies and at least one, a fixed and a movable contact piece comprehensive contact point passes.
  • the DE 44 36 780 C2 shows an installation switching device with a terminal in which the band-shaped phase rail, possibly with its terminal lug, is screwed into a slot on the narrow side of the service switching device.
  • Another generic service switching device with a generic terminal shows the EP 809 325 B1 , There, the terminal connection space is divided by a bus bar into a first connection space for the wire-shaped connection conductor and a second connection space for the connection lug of the band-shaped phase rail.
  • phase rails in known generic service switching devices are complex, because when installing switchgear, for example, in a distribution box, the fitter needs both hands to connect the device with the phase rails. With one hand he holds the phase rail, with the other hand he presses the screwdriver.
  • the object is achieved with respect to the service switching device by a generic service switching device with the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the object is achieved by a generic terminal with the characterizing features of claim 8.
  • a plug-in sleeve with an insertion opening formed between two legs for receiving a terminal lug of a busbar is attached outside the terminal space to the web of the clamp body.
  • the phase rail can be connected to the terminal by means of a screwless plug connection, which the installer can carry out with one hand.
  • the insertion of the phase rails is not only easier, but it is also faster.
  • the terminal space and the insertion opening are arranged one behind the other as seen from the front side and accessible from the narrow side wall adjacent to the front side.
  • terminal space and the insertion can be arranged so that when installing the service switching device in a distribution box, the busbar in the socket via a screwless clamping technology and the one or more leads in the terminal space via a screw-clamp connection can be fastened.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that in the terminal space a busbar and / or a connection conductor by means of the clamping screw against a busbar can be pressed.
  • the busbar may be a separate component, which rests, for example, flat on the web of the clamp body and connected to the web or even integrally formed on the web.
  • the busbar serves to establish an electrical connection between the terminal of the invention and other modules or components of the service switching device.
  • further conductors can be attached to the busbar, which guide the current path through the service switching device, and thereby contact other components such as the contact point and a thermal or an electromagnetic release.
  • a particularly very advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that in the terminal space, a busbar and / or a connecting conductor by means of the clamping screw directly against the web of the clamp body can be pressed.
  • the busbar can then be integrally formed on the web.
  • the plug-in sleeve has a U-shape which is open in the direction "contacting" and whose legs extend in this direction and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the clamping screw, so that they include the terminal lug of the busbar on both sides.
  • the plug-in sleeve can advantageously be a U-shaped bent band spring, the opening points in the direction of the terminal lug of the busbar.
  • the clamp body has approximately the shape of a rectangular frame, with a first narrow side forming web and adjoining, the two longitudinal sides forming legs, wherein the free end of each leg approximately at right angles the free end of the other leg is bent so that the bent free ends overlap and thereby form the second narrow side of the frame.
  • the second narrow side can advantageously have an opening with a screw thread for receiving and guiding the clamping screw.
  • the clamp body can be produced as a stamped and bent part.
  • the settlement of the terminal body with the legs, the web and optionally with the integrally formed on the web busbar from a sheet metal punched.
  • the legs and optionally the busbar are bent at correspondingly provided bending edges, so that finally the desired shape of the terminal body is formed.
  • connection terminal 10 for installation in the terminal receiving space of a service switching device, such as a circuit breaker.
  • a service switching device such as a circuit breaker.
  • the circuit breaker itself is not shown.
  • the terminal 10 comprises a clamp body 12, which has approximately the shape of a rectangular frame. He has an upper narrow side 14 and a lower narrow side 16, which are connected by intermediate longitudinal sides 18,19 therebetween. The upper and lower narrow side 14,16 and the longitudinal sides 18,19 limit the clamping space 20th
  • the upper narrow side 14 has an opening 22 through which a clamping screw 24 projects into the clamping space 20.
  • the clamping screw 24 has an actuating end 26 in the form of a screw head with a slot 28 for engagement of a screwdriver.
  • the terminal screw 24 is connected to a pressure plate 32.
  • the pressure plate 32 facilitates and improves the mechanical and electrical contact between the terminal screw 24 and a terminal lead 34 insertable into the terminal space.
  • a headless grub screw or any other type of screw could be used instead of the cap screw shown.
  • the opening 22 is provided with an internal thread 23 which cooperates with the external thread 25 on the screw shank of the clamping screw 24.
  • the clamping screw 24 can be screwed by means of the thread 23,25 in the direction of the arrow 50 in the terminal space 20 or unscrewed from this.
  • the lower narrow side 16 is formed by a web 17.
  • a bus bar 36 is mounted, in the example shown here, it lies flat against the web 17 and is connected to this form-fitting manner.
  • the busbar 36 leads with its output end 37 into the interior of the switching device, where it is connected to other connecting conductors the electrical connection to functional modules of the service switching device, such as the trigger assemblies or the contact points manufactures.
  • a plug-in sleeve 38 is attached to the web 17 of the clamp body 12. This has approximately a U-shape and comprises two legs 42, 44 connected by a web 40.

  • the clamping space 20 and the insertion opening 46 of the plug-in sleeve 38 are thus arranged lying one behind the other with respect to the direction of movement 50 of the terminal screw 24 and accessible from a common access level, in the figure 1, the plane A-A 'parallel to the left longitudinal side 18.
  • the two legs 42,44 of the plug-in sleeve 38 comprise on both sides of a plug-in sleeve 38 inserted busbar 48.
  • the plug-in sleeve of Figure 1 is for example a U-shaped curved band spring, the opening 46 in the direction of the terminal lug of the busbar 48 points.
  • FIG. 2 shows a view from the direction of the access plane AA '. It can be seen that two legs 52, 54 forming the two longitudinal sides 18, 19 adjoin the web 17 which delimits the clamping space 20 downwards.
  • the free ends, 53,55 of the two legs 52,54 are each bent approximately at right angles to each other and overlap. Due to the overlap of the leg ends. 53,55 the upper narrow side 14 of the clamp body 12 is formed.
  • the clamp body 12 is very simple and inexpensive to produce as a stamped and bent part. Its development in the plane is punched out, and then the longitudinal sides 18,19 by folding up the corresponding legs 52,54, and then the upper narrow side 14 formed by folding and overlapping the free ends of the free ends 53,55 of the legs 52,54.
