Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckadapter für ein elektrisches Schaltgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung Steckadapter für Schaltgeräte wie Schütze, Motorschutzschalter, Leitungsschutzschalter oder Leistungsschalter oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a plug-in adapter for an electrical switching device according to the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the invention relates to plug-in adapter for switching devices such as contactors, motor protection switch, circuit breaker or circuit breaker or the like.

Herkömmliche Schaltgeräte wie zum Beispiel Schütze weisen eingangs- und ausgangsseitig für jeden zu schaltenden Pol einen Anschlusskontakt in Form eines Festkontaktes auf. Zum Zwecke der Verbindung beziehungsweise Unterbrechung werden die zugehörigen Festkontakte über eine durch einen Magnetantrieb angetriebene Kontaktbrücke verbunden bzw. getrennt. Bei derartigen Geräten sind die von außen zugänglichen Festkontaktanschlüsse in der Regel über frontseitig zugängliche Schraubanschlüsse gebildet, die von der Geräteoberseite verschraubt bzw. gelöst werden können. Es können auch seitlich oder von oben zugängliche und auch wieder von der Seite oder von oben lösbare Federklemmanschlüsse vorhanden sein. Die Kontaktierung mit ankommenden und abgehenden Anschlussleitungen erfolgt unterschiedlich, wobei Steckkontakte, schwimmende Kontakte, Schraubklemmen, Schneidklemmen oder andere eingesetzt werden können. Zur Erhöhung der Anschluss-, bzw. Beschaltungsmöglichkeit solcher Schaltgeräte sind schon Anordnungen vorgeschlagen worden, bei denen zusätzlich die Kontaktierung von weiteren externen Anschlussleitungen vorgesehen ist ( DE 102 36 790 C1 ). Hierfür sind an solchen Schaltgeräten sogenannte Kombistecköffnungen und zugehörige Kontakt- und Anschlussmittel ausgebildet.Conventional switching devices such as contactors have input and output side for each pole to be switched on a terminal contact in the form of a fixed contact. For the purpose of connection or interruption, the associated fixed contacts are connected or disconnected via a contact bridge driven by a magnetic drive. In such devices, the externally accessible fixed contact terminals are usually formed on the front accessible screw terminals, which can be screwed or loosened from the top of the device. It may also be available laterally or from above accessible and also from the side or from above releasable spring clamp connections. The contact with incoming and outgoing connecting lines is different, with plug contacts, floating contacts, screw terminals, insulation displacement terminals or others can be used. Arrangements have already been proposed for increasing the connection or wiring possibility of such switching devices, in which additionally the contacting of further external connecting lines is provided ( DE 102 36 790 C1 ). For this purpose, so-called Kombistecköffnungen and associated contact and connection means are formed on such switching devices.

In der DE 10152347 C1 wird ein Adapterstecker für ein Schaltgerät gezeigt, an den Zuleitungen über eine als Einspeiseklemmen ausgebildete Klemmvorrichtung kontaktierbar sind. Einzeladern der Zuleitungen können in Einspeiseklemmen verrastet werden. Zur Entnahme der Einzeladern der Zuleitungen, muss ein Werkzeug eingesetzt werden, mit dem die Einspeiseklemmen zu öffnen sind.In the DE 10152347 C1 an adapter plug for a switching device is shown, can be contacted to the leads via a trained as a feeder terminals clamping device. Single cores of the supply lines can be locked in supply terminals. To remove the individual wires of the supply lines, a tool must be used to open the supply terminals.

Das Freimachen von Kontaktöffnungen und das Einführen und Kontaktieren von Anschlussleitungen ist mit dem Nachteil verbunden, dass entweder Werkzeuge benutzt werden müssen und/oder dass vom Bediener mehrere Handgriffe, häufig auch beidhändig vorgenommen werden müssen.The opening of contact holes and the insertion and contacting of leads is associated with the disadvantage that either tools must be used and / or that the operator several hand grips, often ambidextrous must be made.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfmdung, einen Steckadapter für das Stecken von mehradrigen Anschlussleitungen vorzulegen, der das Anschließen, insbesondere flexibler Anschlussleitungen werkzeuglos und möglichst handhabungsfreundlich ermöglicht.It is the object of the invention to present a plug-in adapter for the insertion of multicore connection lines, which allows the connection, in particular flexible connection lines without tools and handling as possible.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe findet sich im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruchs. Weiterführende Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen formuliert.The solution of the problem can be found in the characterizing part of the main claim. Further refinements are formulated in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung besteht aus einem Steckadapter für ein elektrisches Schaltgerät, wobei das Schaltgerät je Pol einen Anschlusskontakt für eine mindestens zweiadrige Zuleitung umfasst. Der Zuleitungsanschluss liegt vertieft in einer Gehäuseöffnung in einer Zugangsseite des Schaltgeräts. Der Zuleitungsanschluss kann als Doppelstock-Rahmenklemme ausgebildet sein.The invention consists of a plug-in adapter for an electrical switching device, wherein the switching device per pole comprises a connection contact for an at least two-core supply line. The supply connection is recessed in a housing opening in an access side of the switching device. The supply connection can be designed as a double-deck frame clamp.

Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Steckadapter wie folgt ausgebildet ist.The essence of the invention is that the plug-in adapter is designed as follows.

Der Zugangskontakt des Steckadapters ist in Form einer mit einem freien Ende ausgestatteten Kontaktfeder in einer Klemmkammer ausgebildet. Es handelt sich um eine handelsübliche Push-In-Klemme. Der Zugangskontakt ist über eine Zugangskontakt-Gehäuseöffnung zugänglich, die - in gesteckter Position des Steckadapters - parallel zur Einführöffnung des Anschlusskontakts des Schaltgeräts liegt. Das freie Kontaktfederende ist mit elastischer Vorspannung gegen die Stromschiene angelegt. Weiterhin ist eine Klemmvorrichtung zum gleichzeitigen Verklemmen mehrerer Zuleitungsadern mit der Kontaktfeder vorhanden in der Form, dass die Klemmvorrichtung über einen Betätigungsbügel (manuell) betätigbar ist, wobei der Betätigungsbügel einen Niederhalter beaufschlagt, so dass der freie Kontaktfederarm von der Stromschiene des Steckadapters wegbewegbar ist. Ferner weist der Steckadapter auf seiner zum Schaltgerät zugewandten Unterseite eine Gehäuseaussparung auf, deren Abmessungen passend zur Ober- und Vorderseite des Schaltgeräts gewählt sind. Kontaktfedern in Push-In-Klemmen haben eine relativ starke Rückstell-, bzw. Federkraft. Mit dem Einsatz des Betätigungsbügels wird die Hebelwirkung des Betätigungsbügels ausgenutzt, so dass die manuelle Betätigung mit kleinem Kraftaufwand möglich ist.The access contact of the plug-in adapter is designed in the form of a contact spring equipped with a free end in a clamping chamber. It is a standard push-in terminal. The access contact is accessible via an access contact housing opening, which - in the inserted position of the plug adapter - is parallel to the insertion opening of the terminal of the switching device. The free contact spring end is applied with elastic bias against the busbar. Furthermore, a clamping device for simultaneously jamming a plurality of lead wires with the contact spring is present in the form that the clamping device via an operating handle (manually) is actuated, the actuating bracket acts on a hold-down, so that the free contact spring arm of the busbar of the plug-in adapter is moved away. Furthermore, the plug-in adapter has on its underside facing the switching device a housing recess, the dimensions of which are selected to match the top and front of the switching device. Contact springs in push-in terminals have a relatively strong restoring or spring force. With the use of the actuating bracket, the leverage of the actuating bracket is exploited, so that the manual operation with little effort is possible.

Die Unterseite des Steckadapters ist spezifisch mit einer Gehäuseaussparung ausgebildet, um rastend auf einem Schaltgerät steckbar zu sein. Die Gehäuseaussparung (in den Abmessungen Breite, Weite, Höhe) bildet ein Rast-Maß für die Verrastung des Steckadapters auf dem Schaltgerät. Die Gehäuseaussparung hat die volle, durch Zahl und Abmessungen der Steckzungen bestimmte Breite des Steckadapter und hat eine Spannweite, die dem Abstand zwischen den Kombistecköffnungen des Schaltgeräts und der Oberkante der Schaltgerätszugangsseite entspricht, und eine Höhe, die von der Oberkante der Schaltgerätszugangsseite bis an die Einführöffnungen der Anschlusskontakte heranreicht, ohne letztere zu verdecken.The underside of the plug-in adapter is designed specifically with a housing recess in order to be latchable on a switching device. The housing recess (in the dimensions width, width, height) forms a latching measure for the locking of the plug adapter on the switching device. The housing recess has the full width of the plug adapter, determined by the number and dimensions of the tabs, and has a span corresponding to the distance between the combination plug openings of the switchgear and the top of the switchgear access side and a height from the top of the switchgear access side to the insertion openings the connection contacts comes close without obscuring the latter.

Beim Aufstecken des Steckadapters auf das Schaltgerät, welches senkrecht zur Schaltgerätoberseite geschieht, greift der Steckkontakt/die Steckkontakte in die Kombistecköffnung und die Gehäuseaussparung über die Oberkante der Schaltgerätszugangsseite. Der Sitz der Steckkontakte in der Kombistecköffnung gibt dem Steckadapter zwar schon einen gewissen Halt, doch wird der endgültige feste Sitz des Steckadapters erst durch das 'Aufsitzen' der Gehäuseaussparung auf der Schaltgerätoberseite erreicht.When plugging the plug adapter on the switching device, which is perpendicular to the top of the switching device, the plug contact / the plug contacts engages in the combination plug opening and the housing recess on the upper edge of the switching device access page. The seat of the plug contacts in the combination plug opening Although the plug adapter already has a certain hold, but the final tight fit of the plug adapter is achieved only by the 'sitting' of the housing recess on the top of the switchgear.

Das Anschließen flexibler Anschlussleitungen kann ohne den Einsatz von Schraubendrehern erfolgen, was bei anderen Lösungen notwendig wäre, beispielsweise um Doppelstockklemmen zu öffnen und nach dem Einführen der Adernenden zu schließen. Mit einfacher Betätigung der Klemmvorrichtung über den Betätigungsbügel lässt sich die Einführöffnung für das/die Adern- oder Litzenende(n) auf das maximal größte Maß öffnen. Unterschiedlich konfektionierte Litzenenden können eingesetzt werden, insbesondere solche, die nicht gecrimpt oder endverzinnt sind. Einzeldrähte von Litzen haben die Tendenz, sich auseinander zu spreizen. Daher wird eine möglichst große und gut zugängliche Einführöffnung geschaffen.The connection of flexible connection lines can be done without the use of screwdrivers, which would be necessary in other solutions, for example, to open double-level terminals and close after the insertion of the wire ends. With simple operation of the clamping device on the operating handle, the insertion opening for the / the wire end or strand end (s) can be opened to the maximum maximum extent. Different types of stranded ends can be used, especially those that are not crimped or tinned. Single wires of strands tend to spread apart. Therefore, the largest possible and easily accessible insertion opening is created.

Nach dem Einführen aller Adern- oder Litzenenden wird der Betätigungsbügel entlastet, wodurch die Klemmvorrichtung in die Verriegelungsposition gerät, in der die Adernenden gemeinsam verklemmt sind. Die Anschlussleitung ist angeschlossen und sicher kontaktiert.After insertion of all wire or strand ends of the actuator bracket is relieved, whereby the clamping device in the locked position device, in which the wire ends are clamped together. The connection cable is connected and securely contacted.

Mit der Erfindung ist eine schnelle Austauschbarkeit von Grundkomponenten eines Schaltgeräts, beispielsweise bei Motorstarter-Kombinationen möglich, weil der Verdrahtungsaufwand reduziert ist und Zusatzhalterungen an Trag- oder Steckadapterschienen, insbesondere als Zugentlastungen für Zuleitungen wegfallen können. Ebenso ist die Inbetriebnahme schnell machbar, da wenige Handhabungsschritte vorgenommen werden müssen.With the invention, a quick replacement of basic components of a switching device, for example in motor starter combinations possible because the wiring is reduced and additional brackets on support or plug adapter rails, especially as strain relief for supply lines can be omitted. Likewise, the commissioning is quickly feasible because few handling steps must be made.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in Unteransprüchen formuliert, wobei die Merkmale einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander verwirklicht sein können.Further advantageous embodiments are formulated in dependent claims, wherein the features can be implemented individually or in combination with each other.

Der Hebelarm des Betätigungsbügels sollte drei- bis vierfach länger sein als der Hebelarm des Niederhalters bei der Beaufschlagung des freien Kontaktfederarms.The lever arm of the operating bracket should be three to four times longer than the lever arm of the hold-down device when the free contact spring arm is acted upon.

Die Kombistecköffnungen sind in der Regel auf der Oberseite des Schaltgeräts angeordnet, so dass das Stecken des Steckadapters senkrecht zur Schaltgerätoberseite erfolgt.The combination plug openings are usually arranged on the upper side of the switching device, so that the plugging of the plug adapter takes place perpendicular to the top of the switching device.

Die Kontaktfeder ist als federndes Metallband ausgebildet. Sie soll als gerad-gestrecktes Band ausgebildet sein, deren eines Ende der freie Arm der Kontaktfeder ist, und deren anderes Ende in der Klemmkammer festgelegt ist. Die Arme der Kontaktfeder (zweiarmig ausgebildet) sind gegeneinander in einem spitzen Winkel angeordnet. Ein Kontaktfederarm ragt als freier Arm in die Klemmkammer und ist gegen die Stromschiene angelegt. Der andere Kontaktfederarm ist in der Klemmkammer festgelegt.The contact spring is designed as a resilient metal band. It should be designed as a straight-stretched band, one end of the free arm of the contact spring, and the other end is fixed in the clamping chamber. The arms of the contact spring (two arms formed) are arranged against each other at an acute angle. A contact spring arm projects as a free arm in the clamping chamber and is applied against the busbar. The other contact spring arm is fixed in the clamping chamber.

Der Steckkontakt ist vorzugsweise als Steckzunge und somit in Form und Anordnung passend zum Stecken in die Kombistecköffnung ausgebildet. Die Steckzunge greift in die Anschlusskontakte des Schaltgeräts, in denen ein zugeordnetes Steckloch ausgebildet ist.The plug contact is preferably designed as a tongue and thus in the form and arrangement suitable for insertion into the combination plug opening. The tongue engages in the terminal contacts of the switching device, in which an associated insertion hole is formed.

Der Steckadapter wird vorzugsweise als mehrphasiger (beispielsweise dreiphasiger) Steckadapter ausgebildet, wobei die elektrischen Leiterelemente in einem Gehäuse aus Isolierstoff als Monoblock untergebracht sind.The plug-in adapter is preferably formed as a multi-phase (for example, three-phase) plug-in adapter, wherein the electrical conductor elements are housed in a housing made of insulating material as a monobloc.

Bei dem Gegenstand der Erfindung können beispielsweise Anschlussleitungen bis 4 mm2 an das Schaltgerät werkzeuglos gesteckt und gerastet werden.In the subject of the invention, for example, connection cables can be inserted up to 4 mm 2 to the switching device without tools and locked.

In der Figur 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer dreiphasiger Steckadapter 30 perspektivisch dargestellt. Fig. 4 zeigt die Anordnung des Steckadapters 30 auf einem Schütz 10. Der Steckadapter 30 besteht aus einem Gehäuse aus Isolierstoff mit einer Vorderseite 30A als Front- oder Zugangsseite für eine Anschluss- oder Zugangsleitung (120). Die Vorderseite 30A hat drei Gehäuseöffnungen 38 zum Einführen und Stecken einer Anschlussleitung. Auf der Rückseite 30B sind senkrecht zur Steckrichtung der Anschlussleitung Steckzungen 36 ausgebildet. Die Unterseite 30D des Steckadapters ist spezifisch mit einer Gehäuseaussparung ausgebildet, um rastend auf einem Schaltgerät steckbar zu sein. Die Oberseite 30C des Steckadapters ist formgerecht gestaltet. Der Strompfad wird im Gehäuse des Steckadapters durch zugehörige Stromleiter 35 gebildet.In the FIG. 1 an inventive three-phase plug-in adapter 30 is shown in perspective. Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of the plug-in adapter 30 on a contactor 10. The plug-in adapter 30 consists of a housing made of insulating material with a front side 30A as a front or access side for a connection or access line (120). The front side 30A has three housing openings 38 for insertion and insertion of a connecting lead. On the back side 30B tabs 36 are formed perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the connecting line. The underside 30D of the plug-in adapter is designed specifically with a housing recess in order to be able to be latched onto a switching device. The top 30C of the plug adapter is designed to fit. The current path is formed in the housing of the plug-in adapter by associated current conductors 35.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen einen Schnitt durch den Steckadapter, wobei die Stromleiter 35 und die Steckzungen 36 erkennbar sind. Die Länge der Steckzungen entsprechen der Tiefe der Kombistecköffnungen 15, in der die zu den Anschlusskontakten des Schaltgeräts parallel-liegenden Zweitkontakte des Schaltgeräts angeordnet sind. Die Gehäuseaussparung 40 (dreidimensional mit den Abmessungen Breite B, Weite 40, Höhe H) - im Schnitt der Figuren erkennbar - bildet ein Rast-Maß für die Verrastung des Steckadapters auf dem Schaltgerät 10. Die Gehäuseaussparung hat die volle, durch Zahl und Abmessungen der Steckzungen bestimmte Breite B des Steckadapters 30. Sie hat eine Spannweite 40, die dem Abstand zwischen den Kombistecköffnungen 15 des Schaltgeräts 10 und der Oberkante der Schaltgerätszugangsseite 10A entspricht, und eine Höhe H, die von der Oberkante der Schaltgerätszugangsseite 10A bis an die Einführöffnungen der Anschlusskontakte 12 heranreicht, ohne letztere zu verdecken. Die Gehäuseaussparung 40 dient dem formschlüssigen und unverrückbaren Sitz des Steckadapters auf dem Schaltgerät.The Figures 2 and 3 show a section through the plug-in adapter, wherein the current conductor 35 and the tabs 36 can be seen. The length of the tabs correspond to the depth of the Kombistecköffnungen 15, in which the parallel to the terminals of the switching device lying second contacts of the switching device are arranged. The housing recess 40 (three-dimensional with the dimensions width B, width 40, height H) - visible in the section of the figures - forms a latching measure for the locking of the plug adapter on the switching device 10. The housing recess has the full, by number and dimensions of It has a span 40, which is the distance between the combination plug openings 15 of the switching device 10 and the upper edge of the switching device access side 10A, and a height H that extends from the top edge of the switchgear access side 10A to the insertion holes of the terminal contacts 12, without concealing the latter. The housing recess 40 serves the positive and immovable fit of the plug adapter on the switching device.

Weiterhin zeigt die Fig. 2 schematisch die räumliche Zuordnung einer dreiadrigen (122) Anschlussleitung 120 zum Steckadapter.Furthermore, the shows Fig. 2 schematically the spatial assignment of a three-wire (122) connecting line 120 to the plug adapter.

Hinter den schon erwähnten Gehäuseöffnungen 38 befindet sich je eine Klemmkammer 53 mit einer Kontaktfeder 54, die im unteren Bereich der Klemmkammer festgelegt ist (54a) und im oberen Bereich elastisch federnd beweglich ist (freier Arm der Kontaktfeder 54b). Durch die Federwirkung wird die Kontaktfeder 54 im oberen Bereich an den Leiter 35 angedrückt, wenn keine Anschlussleitung eingeführt ist. Die Kontaktfeder wird von einer Klemmvorrichtung 50 beaufschlagt, die im unteren, vorderen Bereich der Klemmkammer drehbar gelagert ist (mit einem Drehpunkt 55). Die Klemmvorrichtung wirkt auf alle drei Kontaktfedern in den Klemmkammern simultan. Die Klemmvorrichtung weist einen Niederhalter 56 auf, mit dem der freie Arm 54b der Kontaktfeder (in jeder Klemmkammer) bewegt werden kann. Die Klemmvorrichtung ist manuell über einen über das Gehäuse des Steckadapters 30 hinausragenden Betätigungsbügel 52 von außen von einer Bedienperson zu betätigen. Der Bügel an der Klemmvorrichtung ist so ausgebildet, dass er senkrecht (parallel zur Zugangsseite 30A) des Steckadapters zu stehen kommt, wenn sich die Klemmvorrichtung in klemmender (verriegelnder) Position befindet (Fig. 2). Zur Betätigung und Öffnung des Zugangs für ein Leitungsende 122 einer Anschlussleitung 120 (oder zur Entriegelung der gesteckten Leitungsenden) wird der Betätigungsbügel 52 gegen die Rückstellkraft des freien Arms 54b der Kontaktfeder in Richtung auf die Rückseite 30B bewegt, wobei die Kontaktfeder den Raum zum Einführen der Anschlussleitung freigibt (Fig. 3). Nach Einführen der Anschlussleitung kann der Bügel freigegeben werden und der freie Arm 54b der Kontaktfeder presst das Leitungsende (oder alle Leitungsenden gemeinsam) 122 von unten an die Stromschiene 35 an.Behind the already mentioned housing openings 38 is a respective clamping chamber 53 with a contact spring 54 which is fixed in the lower region of the clamping chamber (54 a) and in the upper region elastically resiliently movable (free arm of the contact spring 54 b). Due to the spring effect, the contact spring 54 is pressed against the conductor 35 in the upper region, if no connecting line is inserted. The contact spring is acted upon by a clamping device 50, which is rotatably mounted in the lower, front region of the clamping chamber (with a pivot point 55). The clamping device acts on all three contact springs in the clamping chambers simultaneously. The clamping device has a hold-down 56, with which the free arm 54b of the contact spring (in each clamping chamber) can be moved. The clamping device is to be operated manually via an over the housing of the plug adapter 30 projecting actuating bracket 52 from the outside by an operator. The bracket on the clamping device is designed such that it comes to stand vertically (parallel to the access side 30A) of the plug adapter when the clamping device is in the clamping (locking) position ( Fig. 2 ). For operating and opening the access for a line end 122 of a connecting line 120 (or for unlocking the plugged line ends), the actuating bracket 52 is moved against the restoring force of the free arm 54b of the contact spring toward the back 30B, wherein the contact spring, the space for inserting Connecting line releases ( Fig. 3 ). After insertion of the connecting line, the bracket can be released and the free arm 54b of the contact spring presses the line end (or all line ends together) 122 from below to the busbar 35 at.

Die Öffnungen 38 sind relativ groß gewählt, wobei sie sich zum Inneren der Klemmkammer 53 konisch verjüngen. Diese Ausbildung ermöglicht es daher, dass insbesondere Litzen 122, deren Enden nicht kompaktiert sind (zum Beispiel durch Crimpen oder durch Endverzinnen) leicht eingeführt, festgelegt und sicher kontaktiert werden können.The openings 38 are chosen to be relatively large, wherein they taper conically to the interior of the clamping chamber 53. This design therefore makes it possible in particular for stranded wires 122 whose ends are not compacted (for example by crimping or by end tinning) to be easily introduced, fixed and reliably contacted.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt den Steckadapter 30 in gesteckter Position auf einer Schaltgerät 10, hier ein mehrpoliges Schütz. Das Gehäuse des Schaltgeräts besteht aus Isolierstoff. An der Front- oder Zugangsseite 10A sind Einführöffnungen 12 zu den Anschlusskontakten (Pole des Schaltgeräts) erkennbar. Diese Einführöffnungen werden von dem Steckadapter nicht verdeckt.The Fig. 4 shows the plug-in adapter 30 in the inserted position on a switching device 10, here a multi-pole contactor. The housing of the switching device is made of insulating material. On the front or access side 10A insertion openings 12 to the connection contacts (poles of the switching device) can be seen. These insertion openings are not covered by the plug adapter.

Auf der Oberseite 10B des Schaltgeräts 10 sind mehrere Reihen von Öffnungen erkennbar. Im vorderen Bereich (zur Schaltgerätfrontseite 10A) befindet sich eine erste Reihe von Öffnungen 15, die der Betätigung der Anschlussmittel für die Anschlusskontakte des Schaltgeräts dienen. Mit einem Werkzeug (Schraubendreher) kann beispielsweise eine Klemmschraube einer Doppelstock-Rahmenklemme betätigt werden. Hinter der ersten Reihe von Öffnungen 14 (vorn) liegt die zweite Reihe der Kombistecköffnungen 15, die einen parallelen Zugang zu den Anschlusskontakten bieten. Die Kombistecköffnungen werden durch den erfindungsgemäßen Steckadapter genutzt. In diese Öffnungen werden die Steckzungen 36 des Steckadapters eingeführt.On the upper side 10B of the switching device 10, a plurality of rows of openings can be seen. In the front area (to the switching device front side 10A) is a first row of openings 15, which serve to actuate the connection means for the connection contacts of the switching device. With a tool (screwdriver), for example, a clamping screw of a double-deck frame clamp can be actuated. Behind the first row of apertures 14 (forward) is the second row of combination plug openings 15, which provide parallel access to the terminal contacts. The combination plug openings are used by the plug adapter according to the invention. In these openings, the tabs 36 of the plug adapter are inserted.

Im hinteren Teil des Schaltgeräts (der Frontseite gegenüber liegend) sind wiederum zwei Reihen von Öffnungen 16, 17 erkennbar, die in ihrer Funktion den Öffnungen 14 und 15 entsprechen.In the rear part of the switching device (lying opposite the front side), again, two rows of openings 16, 17 can be seen, which correspond in their function to the openings 14 and 15.
