  • the further contacts may be formed, for example, as a solder pin, press-fit or fork contact.
  • the connection must be established by applying mechanical force to the terminal strip. Such a mechanical force always carries the risk that it will affect the terminal block.
  • the invention is therefore based on the technical problem of providing a terminal block for contacting a printed circuit board, where despite mechanical force, the risk of adverse effects on the terminal block is minimized.
  • the terminal block for telecommunication and data technology comprises a housing and at least two contact elements, wherein the contact element comprises a first contact for connecting wires or lines and a second contact for contacting a printed circuit board, wherein the second contact as Einpressloch- contact or as a fork contact is formed, wherein the first contact is aligned with the top and the second contact to the bottom of the Housing is aligned, wherein the first contacts are arranged offset laterally to the longitudinal axis of the housing and at least one rib is disposed on the opposite side, so that forms a trench between the first contacts and the rib, wherein the contact element is formed with a tab, which is aligned over the second contact to the top of the housing and disposed below the trench.

  • a force effect for example by means of a tool
  • the first contacts and their existing dome for example, which could lead to damage of the plastic housing, either by deformation or breaking off the plastic or because the first contacts could drill into the housing.
  • the tab is preferably in direct line of force to the second contact.
  • first and second contacts and the tab are formed integrally.
  • the contact element comprises a third contact, which is designed as a fork contact, aligned to the top and disposed below the rib, wherein the rib is formed with insertion openings for a surge protector or overvoltage protection magazine.
  • the third contact can also be used as a measuring tap or as a monitor access. It can then be selected depending on the requirement instead of a fork contact and another type of contact.
  • the terminal block comprises at least one ground contact element, wherein the ground contact element aligned to the top of the housing first contact and at least one aligned to the underside of the housing second contact comprises.
  • this ground contact element can then be grounded through the ground connection of the surge arresters via the circuit board to a ground potential.
  • the terminal block has two ground contact elements.
  • the second contact of the ground contact element is designed as a press-in pin contact or as a fork contact, whereas the first contact is preferably designed as a fork contact.
  • the first contact of the contact element is designed as insulation displacement contact, wherein more preferably the cutting edges are exposed at an angle of 45 °.
  • the first contact of the ground contact element is higher than the third contact of the contact elements with respect to their contact area, so that when inserting a
  • Overvoltage protection plug or an overvoltage protection magazine first the ground connection is made before the surge arrester electrically contact the wires via the third and first contacts.
  • the surge arresters are arranged on a printed circuit board, which are preferably arranged in two rows, wherein in one row the longitudinal axis of the surge arresters are aligned parallel to one side edge of the printed circuit board and in the other row parallel to an upper edge of the printed circuit board , Preferably, in the housing of the magazine ribs, which prevent uncontrolled movement of the surge arrester after tripping.
  • plastic pins may be provided, which are preferably parallel to the second contacts of the contact element.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a terminal block
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the terminal block
