  • the Verschaltungsschiene 102 has metallic bolts 106.
  • the contact plates 104 include metallic bolts 108 to which the electrical leads 116 with eyelets 118 and nuts 110 can be screwed and which otherwise have no electrically conductive connection to other components.
  • fuse elements 124 can be interposed with electrical fuses 122. These are fastened on the one hand to the threaded bolt 106 of the Verschaltungsschiene 102 with the nuts 110. On the other hand, they are e.g. screwed under the eyelets 118 of the electrical lines 116 to the bolt 108 of the contact plates 104. In this way, a conductive connection between the lead 114 and the electrical cables 116 is made via the fuse 122. Electrical energy, which is fed via the feed line 114 in the Verschaltungsschiene 102, is distributed to the individual cables 116 of the wiring harness.
  • Fig. 4 For example, three cables 116 of a wiring harness are connected via fuse elements 124 to the connection rail 102. At one of the connection possibilities (in Fig. 4 the sixth from the right), although a fuse element 124 is attached, but without a cable of a wiring harness is connected here. In this respect, the associated fuse is not in use. Three connection options (in Fig. 4 the first, third and seventh from the right) are not in use at all.
  • Such conventional fuse blocks provide several possibilities for the distribution of electrical energy, which are not necessarily all used.
  • Fig. 4 For example, only three of the seven ways of distributing electrical energy are actually in use, without this would lead to a saving in space requirements. Especially with the limited conditions in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle space-saving possibilities would be advantageous.
  • a circuit unit according to the invention for fuses has a connection element, which has a plurality of securing devices for securing units, and a plurality of fuse units, which can be fastened to the fastening devices.
  • the fuse units each have an at least partially metallic fastening element for attachment to a fastening device of the interconnection element.
  • Each individual fuse has an at least partially metallic connecting element for connection to an electrical line, which may be, for example, an element of a cable harness.
  • the fuse units of the interconnection unit according to the invention each have an insulating element which mechanically connects the respective fastening element and the respective connecting element.
  • the insulation element also serves to receive or otherwise hold an electrical fuse and is configured such that an inserted electrical fuse establishes electrical contact between the fastening element and the connecting element.
  • the interconnection unit according to the invention for fuses is designed such that the mechanical Connection of the respective electrical line to the interconnection element can be produced in each case only one of the fuse units.
  • the fuse unit thus serves not only for the electrical contact of the electrical line of a cable harness with the interconnection element via an electrical fuse but also for the mechanical connection. It thus fulfills not only an electrical but also a mechanical function.
  • the at least partially metallic fasteners and at least partially metallic fasteners of the respective fuse units are configured and / or aligned such that the attachment of the fastener to a mounting device of the Verschaltungsides and the connection of the connecting element with an electrical line in a spatial direction respectively.
  • Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the fastening of the fastening element and the connection of the connecting element take place in a line, whereby a particularly simple installation and a particularly space-saving design are possible.
  • the interconnection element of the interconnection unit according to the invention is formed for example by a Verschaltungsschiene, the plurality of fastening devices for fuse units side by side. It is particularly advantageous if the interconnection element is conductive and insofar acts directly as an electrical contact, in particular as an electrical power supply, via which electrical energy can be fed into the fastening elements of fuse units used.
  • a simple embodiment provides that the fastening devices for the securing units include through holes and the fastening elements of the securing units insertable therein bolts.
  • the bolts can either be screwed directly into corresponding threads of the through holes or fastened by nuts.
  • the fuse units can be attached in different ways, the electrical lines for distribution to the individual consumers.
  • a simple embodiment provides that the fuse units to include socket pins as connecting elements, can be plugged into the eyelets, which are connected to the lines.
  • Other possible connecting elements include e.g. Circular connectors, flat connectors or ribbon connections.
  • the insulation elements of the fuse units are used in particular for the mechanical connection of the respective fastening elements with the respective connecting elements of the fuse units.
  • An advantageous development of the invention provides that the insulation elements comprise plastic cast blocks. In these Kunststoffgussblöcke the fasteners and the fasteners can be cast in each case in a simple manner.
  • the individual insulation elements have a structured shape, so that a corresponding tool can be applied in order to be able to fix the insulation elements with the fastening elements to the connection element.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides e.g. a hexagonal outer shape, so that a wrench can be applied.
  • the fuse units can be covered by preferably molded plastic caps, each covering at least the insulating element, the electrical fuse and the connecting element so as to provide protection against contamination.
  • cap provides an effective electrical insulation, for. against short circuits.
  • the interconnection unit according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in a motor vehicle since the space-saving arrangement proves to be particularly favorable here.
