Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Durchfiihrungsklemme zur Durchführung einer elektrischen Leitung durch eine Wand, mit einem ersten Klemmengehäuse und einem zweiten Klemmengehäuse, wobei das erste Klemmengehäuse von der einen Seite und das zweite Klemmengehäuse von der anderen Seite her an eine in der Wand ausgebildeten Öffnung heranführbar und miteinander durch die Öffnung, die Wand wischen sich aufnehmend, verbindbar sind, mit mindestens einem im ersten Klemmengehäuse angeordneten ersten Leiteranschlußkörper und mindestens einem im zweiten Klemmengehäuse angeordneten zweiten Leiteranschlußkörper, und mit einer Stromschiene über die der erste Leiteranschlußkörper mit dem zweiten Leiteranschlußkörper elektrisch leitend verbunden ist, wenn das erste Klemmengehäuse und das zweite Klemmengehäuse miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a feed-through terminal for passing an electrical line through a wall, with a first terminal housing and a second terminal housing, wherein the first terminal housing from the one side and the second terminal housing from the other side to an opening formed in the wall and with each other through the opening, the wall wipe receiving, are connectable, with at least one disposed in the first terminal housing first conductor terminal body and at least one arranged in the second terminal housing second conductor terminal body, and electrically connected to a bus bar via which the first conductor terminal body with the second conductor terminal body, when the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing are connected together.

In der industriellen Verbindungstechnik ist es häufig erforderlich, Ströme durch eine Wand, beispielsweise eine Gehäusewand eines industriellen Elektrogeräts, beispielsweise einem Gerät der Leistungselektronik, geführt werden müssen. Hierzu werden Durchführungsklemmen, die teilweise auch als Wand-Durchführungsklemmen bezeichnet werden, eingesetzt, die grundsätzlich bereits seit Jahrzehnten aus der Praxis bekannt sind. Die Durchführungsklemmen sollen einen gleichermaßen zuverlässigen wie bequemen Anschluß der externen Leiter an einen entsprechenden internen Leiter des Elektrogeräts ermöglichen. Die aus der Praxis bekannten Durchführungsklemmen, die ein fingerberührsicheres Isoliergehäuse aufweisen, sind zur Anordnung und Befestigung in Öffnungen und Durchbrüchen von Gehäusewänden derart konzipiert, daß diese in den Öffnungen und Durchbrüchen mit Hilfe verschiedener Techniken montiert werden können.In industrial connection technology, it is frequently necessary to conduct currents through a wall, for example a housing wall of an industrial electrical device, for example a power electronics device. For this purpose lead-through terminals, which are sometimes referred to as wall feed-through terminals used, which are basically known for decades from practice. The feed-through terminals are to allow a reliable as well as convenient connection of the external conductor to a corresponding internal conductor of the electrical device. The known from practice feedthrough terminals, which have a Fingerberührsicheres insulating, are designed for placement and mounting in openings and openings of housing walls in such a way that they can be mounted in the openings and openings by means of various techniques.

Dabei kann grundsätzlich zwischen zwei Typen von Durchführungsklemmen unterschieden werden. Einteilige Durchführungsklemmen, die in eine entsprechend groß bemessene Öffnung in der Wand bis zu einem Anschlag eingeschoben und mittels separater oder am Klemmengehäuse ausgebildeter Rastelemente in der Öffnung fixiert werden, und zweiteilige Durchführungsklemmen, deren beiden Klemmenhälften durch Zusammenstecken miteinander verbunden werden, wobei die beiden Klemmenhälften im miteinander montierten Zustand - zumindest zu ihrem größten Teil - auf unterschiedlichen Seiten der Wand angeordnet sind und die Wand zwischen sich aufnehmen.In principle, a distinction can be made between two types of lead-through terminals. One-piece lead-through terminals, which are inserted into a correspondingly sized opening in the wall up to a stop and fixed by means of separate or formed on the terminal housing locking elements in the opening, and two-part lead-through terminals, the two terminal halves by mating with each other be connected, wherein the two clamp halves in the assembled state - at least for the most part - are arranged on different sides of the wall and receive the wall between them.

Eine Durchführungsklemme des zweiteiligen Typs, von der die vorliegende Erfindung ausgeht, ist aus der DE 36 13 681 C1 bekannt. Diese Durchführungsklemme, die von der Anmelderin seit etwa 20 Jahren hergestellt und vertrieben wird, weist sowohl als Außenleiteranschlußkörper als auch als Innenleiteranschlußkörper einen Schraubenanschlußkörper auf. Bei der Montage wird die mit dem Schraubenanschlußkörper der einen Klemmenhälften fest verbundene Stromschiene in den geöffneten Anschlußraum des Schraubenanschlußkörpers der anderen Klemmenhälfte eingeführt, so daß zur elektrischen Verbindung der beiden Klemmenhälften bzw. der beiden Schraubenanschlußkörper weder ein zusätzlicher Kontakt noch ein zusätzlicher Montageschritt erforderlich ist. Auch wenn sich die bekannte Durchführungsklemme in der Praxis, insbesondere als Hochstrom-Durchführungsklemme, äußerst bewährt hat, so ist der Anschluß der Leiter an die beiden Schraubenanschlußkörper aufgrund des Anschlußprinzips des Schraubanschlusses relativ zeitaufwendig.A feedthrough terminal of the two-part type, from which the present invention is based, is known from the DE 36 13 681 C1 known. This lead-through terminal, which has been manufactured and sold by the applicant for about 20 years, has a screw terminal body both as outer conductor terminal body and as inner conductor terminal body. When mounting the firmly connected to the screw terminal body of a clamp halves busbar is inserted into the open terminal space of the screw terminal body of the other terminal half, so that neither an additional contact nor an additional assembly step is required for electrical connection of the two clamp halves or the two screw connection body. Although the known lead-through terminal has proven to be extremely useful in practice, especially as a high-current lead-through terminal, the connection of the conductors to the two screw terminal bodies is relatively time-consuming due to the connection principle of the screw terminal.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Durchführungsklemme, der eingangs beschriebenen Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, die bei Beibehaltung der einfachen Montagemöglichkeit einen einfacheren Anschluß der Leiter an die Leiteranschlußkörper ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a feed-through terminal of the type described above, which allows a simpler connection of the conductor to the conductor terminal body while maintaining the ease of mounting option.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei der eingangs beschriebenen Durchführungsklemme dadurch gelöst, daß sowohl der erste Leiteranschlußkörper als auch der zweite Leiteranschlußkörper jeweils eine Schenkelfeder und ein Metallteil aufweisen, wobei die Schenkelfedern jeweils einen Klemmschenkel und einen Anlageschenkel haben, und wobei der Klemmschenkel und das Metallteil einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für jeweils einen anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter bilden. Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beiden Leiteranschlußkörpern wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Stromschiene in dem ersten Klemmengehäuse angeordnet und mit ihrem einen Ende mit dem Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers elektrisch leitend verbunden ist und das andere Ende der Stromschiene von dem Anlageschenkel des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers kontaktiert wird, wenn das erste Klemmengehäuse und das zweite Klemmengehäuse miteinander verbunden sind.This object is achieved with the bushing terminal described above in that both the first conductor terminal body and the second conductor terminal body each have a leg spring and a metal part, wherein the leg springs each have a clamping leg and a plant leg, and wherein the clamping leg and the metal part a spring terminal connection each form an electrical conductor to be connected. The electrical connection between the two conductor terminal bodies is achieved in that the busbar is arranged in the first terminal housing and is electrically connected at its one end to the metal part of the first conductor terminal body and the other end of the busbar of the plant leg of the second conductor terminal body is contacted when the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing are connected together.

Die erfindungsgemäße Durchführungsklemme unterscheidet sich somit zunächst dadurch von der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Durchführungsklemme, daß bei den beiden Leiteranschlußkörpern keine Schraubanschlußtechnik, sondern eine Schenkelfederanschlußtechnik realisiert worden ist. Ein anzuschließender, abisolisierter starrer oder mit einer Aderendhülse versehener Leiter kann somit einfach dadurch an die Durchführungsklemme angeschlossen werden, daß der Leiter durch eine im Klemmengehäuse ausgebildete Leitereinführungsöffnung in den Leiteranschlußkörper eingesteckt wird, wobei der anzuschließende Leiter von dem Ende des Klemmschenkels der Schenkelfeder gegen einen Bereich des Metallteils gedrückt und dadurch elektrisch kontaktiert wird. Der starre oder mit einer Aderendhülse bestückte Leiter kann somit ohne Werkzeug direkt an die Durchführungsklemme elektrisch angeschlossen werden; das relativ zeitaufwendige Anziehen der Klemmschraube beim Schraubanschluß entfällt.Thus, the lead-through terminal according to the invention differs first of all from the lead-through terminal known from the prior art in that no screw connection technique, but a leg spring connection technique, has been implemented in the two lead terminal bodies. A to be connected, stripped rigid or provided with a wire end conductor can thus be easily connected to the feedthrough terminal that the conductor is inserted through a formed in the terminal housing conductor insertion opening in the conductor terminal body, the conductor to be connected from the end of the clamping leg of the leg spring against a range pressed the metal part and thereby electrically contacted. The rigid or equipped with a wire end conductor can thus be connected without tools directly to the feed-through terminal electrically; the relatively time-consuming tightening the clamping screw in the screw connection is eliminated.

Bei der aus der DE 36 13 681 C1 bekannten Durchführungsklemme mit Schraubenanschlußkörpern wird beim Verbinden der beiden Klemmenhälften die mit dem einen Schraubenanschlußkörper verbundene Stromschiene in den geöffneten Anschlußraum der Schraubklemme der anderen Klemmenhälfte eingesteckt, wobei beim Anziehen der Klemmschraube der zweiten Schraubklemme der anzuschließende elektrische Leiter gegen die in dem Anschlußraum eingesteckte Stromschiene gezogen wird. Um auch bei der erfindungsgemäßen Durchführungsklemme beim Verbinden der beiden Klemmengehäuse automatisch die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beiden Leiteranschlußkörpern über die Stromschiene zu erreichen, ist die erfindungsgemäße Durchführungsklemme so ausgebildet, daß das Ende der Stromschiene, das nicht mit dem Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers elektrisch leitend verbunden ist, vom Anlageschenkel der Klemmfeder des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers kontaktiert wird, wenn das erste Klemmengehäuse und das zweite Klemmengehäuse miteinander verbunden werden. Der Anlageschenkel bildet somit mit dem Metallteil einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für das zweite Ende der Stromschiene.At the time of the DE 36 13 681 C1 known feedthrough terminal with screw terminal bodies is connected to the one terminal screw body connected busbar in the open terminal space of the screw of the other terminal half when connecting the two clamp halves, wherein when tightening the clamping screw of the second screw the electrical conductor to be connected is pulled against the inserted in the terminal compartment busbar. In order to automatically achieve the electrical connection between the two conductor terminal bodies via the busbar in the lead-through terminal according to the invention when connecting the two terminal housing, the feedthrough terminal according to the invention is designed so that the end of the busbar, which is not electrically connected to the metal part of the first conductor terminal body , is contacted by the abutting leg of the clamping spring of the second conductor connecting body when the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing are connected together. The plant leg thus forms with the metal part a spring terminal connection for the second end of the busbar.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Durchführungsklemme ist das freie Ende des Anlageschenkels der Schenkelfeder des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers derart abgebogen, daß es von der Stromschiene wegweist, so daß das freie Ende des Anlageschenkels eine Einführhilfe für das zweite Ende der Stromschiene bildet. Dadurch wird beim Verbinden der beiden Klemmengehäuse das zweite Ende der Stromschiene durch das abgewinkelte Ende des Anlageschenkels leichter in den Federkraftklemmanschluß zwischen dem Anlageschenkel und dem korrespondierenden Bereich des Metallteils eingeführt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the lead-through terminal according to the invention the free end of the abutment leg of the leg spring of the second conductor terminal body is bent so that it points away from the busbar, so that the free end of the abutment leg forms an insertion aid for the second end of the busbar. As a result, when connecting the two terminal housings, the second end of the bus bar is more easily inserted through the angled end of the abutment leg into the spring terminal connection between the abutment leg and the corresponding area of the metal part.

Bezüglich der konkreten Ausgestaltung der Schenkelfedern und der Metallteile der beiden Leiteranschlußkörper gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Variante weist das Metallteil zwei einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktwände und einen die Kontaktwände verbindenden Rücken auf, wobei die erste Kontaktwand mit dem Klemmschenkel der Schenkelfeder den Federkraftklemmanschluß für den anzuschließenden Leiter und die zweite Kontaktwand mit dem Anlageschenkel der Schenkelfeder einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für ein Ende der Stromschiene bildet. Ein derartig ausgebildetes Metallteil kann sowohl beim ersten Leiterabschlußkörper als auch beim zweiten Leiteranschlußkörper verwendet werden.With regard to the specific embodiment of the torsion springs and the metal parts of the two conductor connection body, there are various possibilities. According to a preferred variant, the metal part has two opposing contact walls and a back connecting the contact walls, wherein the first contact wall with the clamping leg of the leg spring the Federkraftklemmanschluss for the conductor to be connected and the second contact wall with the plant leg of the leg spring a Federkraftklemmanschluß for one end of the busbar forms. Such a formed metal part can be used both in the first conductor end body and the second conductor terminal body.

Wird ein derartiges Metallteil beim zweiten Leiteranschlußkörper eingesetzt, so bildet die zweite Kontaktwand mit dem Anlageschenkel der Schenkelfeder den Federkraftklemmanschluß für das zweite Ende der Stromschiene, die im ersten Klemmengehäuse angeordnet und mit ihrem ersten Ende mit dem Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers elektrisch leitend verbunden ist. Ist bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers das freie Ende des Anlageschenkels der Schenkelfeder abgebogen, so bildet das freie Ende des Anlageschenkels zusammen mit der zweiten Kontaktwand des Metallteils einen Einführtrichter für das zweite Ende der Stromschiene. Beim Verbinden der beiden Klemmengehäuse wird somit das zweite Ende der Stromschiene von dem Einführtrichter "eingefangen", so daß das Ende der Stromschiene einfach in den Federkraftklemmanschluß zwischen dem Anlageschenkel der Schenkelfeder und der zweiten Kontaktwand eingeschoben werden kann.If such a metal part is used in the second conductor connection body, the second contact wall with the contact leg of the leg spring forms the spring terminal connection for the second end of the conductor rail which is arranged in the first terminal housing and is electrically conductively connected at its first end to the metal part of the first conductor connection body. If the free end of the abutment leg of the leg spring bent in such an embodiment of the second conductor terminal body, the free end of the abutment leg together with the second contact wall of the metal part forms an insertion funnel for the second end of the busbar. When connecting the two terminal housing thus the second end of the busbar is "captured" by the insertion funnel, so that the end of the busbar can be easily inserted into the Federkraftklemmanschluß between the plant leg of the leg spring and the second contact wall.

Wie zuvor bereits ausgeführt worden ist, kann auch das Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers zwei einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktwände und einen die Kontaktwände verbindenden Rücken aufweisen. Gemäß einer anderen, bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist das Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers jedoch als flacher Strombalken ausgebildet, in dem eine Leiterdurchstecköffnung mit einem sich in Leiterdurchstecköffnung erstreckenden Lochkragen ausgebildet ist. Die Schenkelfeder ist dabei derart angeordnet, daß das Ende des Klemmschenkels der Schenkelfeder in die Leiterdurchstecköffnung eintaucht, so daß der Klemmschenkel der Schenkelfeder mit einer korrespondierenden Innenwand des Lochkragens den Federkraftklemmanschluß für den anzuschließenden Leiter bildet. Ein derartiges Metallteil, das als flacher Strombalken mit einer Leiterdurchstecköffnung und einem Lochkragen ausgebildet ist, kann besonders einfach und materialsparend hergestellt werden. Darüber hinaus kann ein derartiges Metallteil auch sehr geringe Abmessungen aufweisen, so daß insgesamt eine sehr kompakte Durchführungsklemme realisiert werden kann.As has already been stated above, the metal part of the first conductor connection body may also have two mutually opposite contact walls and a back connecting the contact walls. According to another, preferred embodiment, however, the metal part of the first conductor connection body is designed as a flat current bar, in which a Leiterdurchstecköffnung is formed with a hole in Leiterdurchstecköffnung extending hole. The leg spring is arranged such that the end of the clamping leg of the leg spring dips into the Leiterdurchstecköffnung, so that the clamping leg of the leg spring with a corresponding inner wall of the hole collar forms the Federkraftklemmanschluß for the conductor to be connected. Such a metal part, which is designed as a flat current bar with a Leiterdurchstecköffnung and a hole collar can be made particularly simple and save material. In addition, such a metal part can also have very small dimensions, so that a total of a very compact feedthrough terminal can be realized.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung eines aus einem flachen Strombalken ausgebildeten Metallteils ist die Schenkelfeder dadurch an dem Metallteil befestigt, daß das Ende des Anlageschenkels der Schenkelfeder in die Leiterdurchstecköffnung eingesteckt ist, so daß die Schenkelfeder in der Leiterdurchstecköffnung gehalten ist. Alternativ dazu kann eine weitere Öffnung beabstandet zur Leiterdurchstecköffnung in dem Strombalken ausgebildet sein, in die das Ende des Anlageschenkels der Schenkelfeder eingesteckt und befestigt wird.In an advantageous embodiment of a formed of a flat current bar metal part, the leg spring is thereby fixed to the metal part, that the end of the abutment leg of the leg spring is inserted into the Leiterdurchstecköffnung so that the leg spring is held in the Leiterdurchstecköffnung. Alternatively, a further opening spaced from the Leiterdurchstecköffnung be formed in the current bar, in which the end of the abutment leg of the leg spring is inserted and secured.

Die Fixierung bzw. Halterung der Schenkelfeder in der Leiterdurchstecköffnung kann dadurch weiter verbessert werden, daß der Anlageschenkel der Schenkelfeder seitlich vorspringende Anlageschultern aufweist, die im montierten Zustand der Schenkelfeder und des Metallteils auf dem Rand der Leiterdurchstecköffnung aufliegen. Hierdurch können das Metallteil und die Schenkelfeder einfach vormontiert werden, so daß sie als Baueinheit für die weitere Montage im Klemmengehäuse einfacher eingesetzt werden können. Dabei kann eine zusätzliche Fixierung der Schenkelfeder selbstverständlich durch entsprechend ausgebildete Haltervorsprünge im Klemmengehäuse gewährleistet werden.The fixation or support of the leg spring in the Leiterdurchstecköffnung can be further improved in that the plant leg of the leg spring has laterally projecting abutment shoulders which rest in the mounted state of the leg spring and the metal part on the edge of Leiterdurchstecköffnung. As a result, the metal part and the leg spring can be easily pre-assembled, so that they can be used as a unit for further assembly in the terminal housing easier. In this case, an additional fixation of the leg spring can of course be ensured by appropriately trained holder projections in the terminal housing.

Grundsätzlich kann die Stromschiene sowohl als separates Bauteil ausgebildet als auch einstückig mit dem Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers verbunden sein. Eine einstückige Ausbildung der Stromschiene mit dem Metallteil ist insbesondere dann besonders einfach realisierbar, wenn das Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers als flacher Strombalken ausgebildet ist. Ist die Stromschiene dagegen als separates Bauteil ausgebildet, so wird die Verbindung der Stromschiene mit dem Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers vorzugsweise durch einen Federkraftklemmanschluß zwischen dem ersten Ende der Stromschiene und dem Klemmschenkel oder dem Anlageschenkel der Schenkelfeder realisiert. Eine derartige lösbare Verbindung der Stromschiene mit dem Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers ist dann einfach realisierbar, wenn auch das Metallteil des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers zwei einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktwände und einen die Kontaktwände verbindenden Rücken aufweist. Dann bildet die zweite Kontaktwand mit dem Anlageschenkel den Federkraftklemmanschluß für das erste Ende der Stromschiene.In principle, the busbar may be formed both as a separate component and integrally connected to the metal part of the first conductor connection body. A one-piece design of the busbar with the metal part is particularly easy to implement in particular when the metal part of the first conductor connection body is formed as a flat current bar. If, however, the busbar is designed as a separate component, then the connection of the busbar to the metal part of the first conductor connection body is preferably realized by a spring terminal connection between the first end of the busbar and the clamping leg or the support leg of the leg spring. Such a releasable connection of the busbar to the metal part of the first conductor connection body is then easily feasible, although the metal part of the first conductor connection body has two mutually opposite contact walls and a connecting walls connecting the backs. Then, the second contact wall with the abutment leg forms the spring terminal connection for the first end of the busbar.

Die mechanische Befestigung zwischen den beiden Klemmengehäusen wird gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung dadurch gewährleistet, daß das erste Klemmengehäuse und das zweite Klemmengehäuse einander zugeordnete Rastelemente, insbesondere miteinander in Eingriff bringbare Zahnreihen, aufweisen, so daß das erste Klemmengehäuse und das zweite Klemmengehäuse über die Rastelemente, die Gehäusewand zwischen sich aufnehmend, miteinander verrastbar sind.The mechanical attachment between the two terminal housings is ensured according to a preferred embodiment in that the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing mutually associated locking elements, in particular engageable rows of teeth, have, so that the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing via the locking elements, the Housing wall between them, are latched together.

The Fig. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a feedthrough terminal 1 according to the invention for performing an electrical line by a - only in Fig. 3 indicated - wall 2, which may be, for example, the wall of an electrical appliance. In the lead-through terminal 1 is a two-part type, so that the feed-through terminal 1, a first terminal housing 3 and a second terminal housing 4, wherein the first terminal housing 3 from one side, for example, the device outside, and the second terminal housing 4 from the other Side, for example, the device inside, is brought forth to the wall 2, so that the two terminal housing 3, 4 in the latched state, the wall 2 receiving between them, are arranged on the two opposite sides of the wall 2.

Im Inneren des ersten Klemmengehäuses 3 ist ein erster Leiteranschlußkörper 5 und im Inneren des zweiten Klemmgehäuses 4 ein zweiter Leiteranschlußkörper 6 angeordnet, wobei der erste Leiteranschlußkörper 5 aufgrund seiner Position außerhalb des Geräts auch als Außenleiteranschlußkörper und der zweite Leiteranschlußkörper 6 aufgrund seiner Position innerhalb des Geräts als Innenleiteranschlußkörper bezeichnet werden kann. Zur elektrischen Verbindung der beiden Leiteranschlußkörpern 5, 6 ist im ersten Klemmengehäuse 3 eine Stromschiene 7 angeordnet und elektrisch leitend mit dem ersten Leiteranschlußkörper 5 verbunden.Inside the first terminal housing 3, a first conductor terminal body 5 and inside the second terminal housing 4, a second conductor terminal body 6 is arranged, wherein the first conductor terminal body 5 due to its position outside the device as outer conductor terminal body and the second conductor terminal body 6 due to its position within the device as Inner conductor terminal body can be called. For electrical connection of the two conductor terminal bodies 5, 6, a bus bar 7 is arranged in the first terminal housing 3 and electrically conductively connected to the first conductor terminal body 5.

Wie insbesondere auf Fig. 4 erkennbar ist, weist der erste Leiteranschlußkörper 5 eine Schenkelfeder 8 und ein Metallteil 9 auf, wobei die Schenkelfeder 8 im wesentlich U-förmig ausgebildet ist und einen Klemmschenkel 10 und einen Anlageschenkel 11 aufweist. Die Schenkelfeder 8 und das Metallteil 9 sind dabei derart zueinander angeordnet, daß der Klemmschenkel 10 und das Metallteil 9 einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für einen ersten, in Fig. 3 dargestellten, elektrischen Leiter 12 bilden. Auch der zweite Leiteranschlußkörper 6 weist eine Schenkelfeder 13 und ein Metallteil 14 auf, wobei auch die Schenkelfeder 13 des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers 6 einen Klemmschenkel 15 und einen Anlageschenkel 16 hat und der Klemmschenkel 15 mit dem Metallteil 14 einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für einen zweiten, in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellten, elektrischen Leiter 17 bilden.As in particular Fig. 4 can be seen, the first conductor terminal body 5 a leg spring 8 and a metal part 9, wherein the leg spring 8 is formed substantially U-shaped and has a clamping leg 10 and a plant leg 11. The leg spring 8 and the metal part 9 are arranged to each other such that the clamping leg 10 and the Metal part 9 a spring terminal connection for a first, in Fig. 3 form illustrated, electrical conductor 12. Also, the second conductor terminal body 6 has a leg spring 13 and a metal part 14, wherein the leg spring 13 of the second conductor terminal body 6 has a clamping leg 15 and a plant leg 16 and the clamping leg 15 with the metal part 14 a spring terminal connection for a second, in the Fig. 2 and 3 form illustrated, electrical conductor 17.

Die zur elektrischen Verbindung der beiden Leiteranschlußkörper 5, 6 vorgesehene Stromschiene 7 ist mit ihrem ersten Ende 18 mit dem Metallteil 9 des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers 5 dadurch elektrisch leitend verbunden, daß die Stromschiene 7 einstückig mit dem Metallteil 9 ausgebildet ist. Sind die beiden Klemmengehäuse 3, 4 miteinander verrastet, so wird das zweite Ende 19 der Stromschiene 7 vom Anlageschenkel 16 des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers 6 kontaktiert, wie dies aus den Fig. 2 bis 4 ersichtlich ist. Der Anlageschenkel 16 bildet dabei mit dem Metallteil 14 einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für das zweite Ende 19 der Stromschiene 7. Damit das zweite Ende 19 der Stromschiene 7 beim Zusammenstecken der beiden Klemmengehäuse 3, 4 ohne Schwierigkeiten von der Rückseite, d. h. entgegengesetzt zur Einführrichtung des anzuschließenden Leiters 17, in den geschlossenen Federkraftklemmanschluß eingeführt werden kann, ist das freie Ende 20 des Anlageschenkels 16 derart abgebogen, daß er von der Stromschiene 7 wegweist. Das freie Ende 20 bildet somit eine Einführhilfe für das zweite Ende 19 der Stromschiene 7.The bus bar 7 provided for the electrical connection of the two conductor connection bodies 5, 6 is electrically conductively connected at its first end 18 to the metal part 9 of the first conductor connection body 5 in that the bus bar 7 is formed integrally with the metal part 9. If the two terminal housing 3, 4 locked together, the second end 19 of the busbar 7 is contacted by the plant leg 16 of the second conductor terminal body 6, as shown in FIGS Fig. 2 to 4 is apparent. The plant leg 16 forms with the metal part 14 a spring terminal connection for the second end 19 of the busbar 7. Thus, the second end 19 of the busbar 7 when mating the two terminal housing 3, 4 without difficulty from the back, ie opposite to the direction of insertion of the conductor to be connected 17th , can be inserted into the closed spring terminal connection, the free end 20 of the abutment leg 16 is bent so that it faces away from the busbar 7. The free end 20 thus forms an insertion aid for the second end 19 of the busbar. 7

Bei dem in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Durchführungsklemme 1 weist das Metallteil 14 des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers 6 zwei einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktwände 21, 22 auf, die über einen Rücken 23 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Schenkelfeder 13 und das Metallteil 14 sind dabei so zueinander angeordnet, daß der Klemmschenkel 15 mit der ersten Kontaktwand 21 den Federkraftklemmanschluß für den anzuschließenden Leiter 17 und der Anlageschenkel 16 mit der zweiten Kontaktwand 22 einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für das zweite Ende 19 der Stromschiene 7 bilden.In the embodiment of a feedthrough terminal 1 according to the invention shown in the figures, the metal part 14 of the second conductor connection body 6 has two mutually opposite contact walls 21, 22, which are connected to each other via a back 23. The leg spring 13 and the metal part 14 are arranged to each other so that the clamping leg 15 with the first contact wall 21 the Federkraftklemmanschluss for the conductor 17 and the plant leg 16 with the second contact wall 22 form a spring terminal connection for the second end 19 of the busbar 7.

Zum Einführen eines mit einer Aderendhülse 24 versehenen Leiters 17 in die Klemmstelle ist im Klemmengehäuse 4 eine Leitereinführungsöffnung 25 ausgebildet. Um das Einführen des elektrischen Leiters 17 in die Klemmstelle zu erleichtern, und um einen angeschlossenen elektrischen Leiter 17 bei Bedarf aus der Klemmstelle wieder zu entfernen, ist in dem Klemmengehäuse 4 eine Betätigungsöffnung 26 zum Einführen eines Betätigungswerkzeugs 27, beispielsweise der Spitze eines Schraubendrehers, ausgebildet. Mit dem Betätigungswerkzeug 27 kann dann auf den Klemmschenkel 15 der Schenkelfeder 8 gedrückt werden, wodurch sich die Schenkelfeder 8 öffnet, so daß ein elektrischer Leiter 17 einfacher eingeschoben oder aus der Klemmstelle herausgezogen werden kann. An dem Klemmschenkel 15 ist ein Knick 28 ausgebildet, der als Angriffspunkt für die Spitze des Betätigungswerkzeugs 27 dient, so daß das ein Entlanggleiten des Betätigungswerkzeugs 27 am Klemmschenkel 15 verhindert wird.For introducing a conductor 17 provided with a wire end ferrule 24 into the nip, a conductor insertion opening 25 is formed in the terminal housing 4. In order to facilitate the insertion of the electrical conductor 17 in the nip, and to remove a connected electrical conductor 17 from the nip again, if necessary, in the terminal housing 4, an actuating opening 26 for insertion of an actuating tool 27, for example, the tip of a screwdriver formed , With the actuating tool 27 can then be pressed onto the clamping leg 15 of the leg spring 8, whereby the leg spring 8 opens, so that an electrical conductor 17 can be inserted or pulled out of the terminal point easier. On the clamping leg 15, a kink 28 is formed, which serves as a point of application for the tip of the actuating tool 27, so that the sliding along of the actuating tool 27 is prevented on the clamping leg 15.

Im Unterschied zum Metallteil 14 des zweiten Leiteranschlußkörpers 6 ist das Metallteil 9 des ersten Leiteranschlußkörpers 5 als flacher Strombalken ausgebildet, in dem eine Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 mit einem sich in Leiterdurchsteckrichtung erstreckenden Lochkragen 30 ausgebildet ist. Das Ende des Klemmschenkels 10 taucht dabei derart in die Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 ein, daß der Klemmschenkel 10 mit der korrespondierenden Innenwand des Lochkragens 30 den Federkraftklemmanschluß für den anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter 12 bildet. Ebenso wie das zweite Klemmgehäuse 4, so weist auch das erste Klemmgehäuse 3 eine Leitereinftlhröffnung 31 für den anzuschließenden Leiter 12 und eine Betätigungsöffnung 32 für ein Betätigungswerkzeug 33 auf. Auch hier kann mit Hilfe eines in die Betätigungsöffnung 32 eingeführten Betätigungswerkzeugs 33 der Klemmschenkel 10 der Schenkelfeder 8 ausgelenkt werden, so daß ein elektrischer Leiter 12 einfacher in die Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 eingesteckt oder ein angeschlossener Leiter 12 aus dem Klemmengehäuse 3 herausgezogen werden kann.In contrast to the metal part 14 of the second conductor connection body 6, the metal part 9 of the first conductor connection body 5 is formed as a flat current bar in which a Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 is formed with a extending in Leiterdurchsteckrichtung hole collar 30. The end of the clamping leg 10 immersed in such a way in the Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29, that the clamping leg 10 with the corresponding inner wall of the hole collar 30 forms the Federkraftklemmanschluß for the electrical conductor 12 to be connected. Like the second clamping housing 4, the first clamping housing 3 also has a conductor insertion opening 31 for the conductor 12 to be connected and an actuating opening 32 for an actuating tool 33. Again, with the aid of an inserted into the actuating opening 32 actuating tool 33 of the clamping leg 10 of the leg spring 8 are deflected so that an electrical conductor 12 can be easily inserted into the Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 or a connected conductor 12 can be pulled out of the terminal housing 3.

Die Schenkelfeder 8 ist dadurch an dem Metallteil 9 befestigt, daß das Ende des Anlageschenkels 11 ebenfalls in die Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 eingesteckt ist. Außerdem weist der Anlageschenkel 11 seitlich vorspringende Anlageschultern 34 auf, die im montierten Zustand auf dem Rand der Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 aufliegen. Zusätzlich ist im Klemmengehäuse 3 ein Haltezapfen 35 zur Positionierung und Halterung der Schenkelfedern 8 und im Klemmengehäuse 4 ausgebildet. Ein entsprechender Haltezapfen 36 ist zur Positionierung und Halterung der Schenkelfedern 13 auch im Klemmengehäuse 4 ausgebildet.The leg spring 8 is thereby fixed to the metal part 9, that the end of the abutment leg 11 is also inserted into the Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29. In addition, the plant leg 11 laterally projecting abutment shoulders 34 which rest on the edge of the Leiterdurchstecköffnung 29 in the mounted state. In addition, in the terminal housing 3 a Holding pin 35 for positioning and holding the leg springs 8 and formed in the terminal housing 4. A corresponding holding pin 36 is also formed in the terminal housing 4 for positioning and holding the leg springs 13.

Die mechanische Verbindung zwischen den beiden Klemmengehäusen 3, 4 erfolgt mit Hilfe einander zugeordneter Rastelemente 37, 38, die bei dem dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel als miteinander in Eingriff bringbare Zahnreihen ausgeführt sind. Unter Berücksichtigung der Eigenelastizität der aus Kunststoff bestehenden Klemmengehäuse 3, 4 können die Zahnreihe durch einfaches Zusammenschieben der beiden Klemmengehäuse 3, 4 miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden, so daß eine sichere und dauerhafte Verrastung der beiden Klemmengehäuse 3, 4 gegeben ist. Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, ist dabei die Stromschiene 7 durch die kastenförmige Ausbildung des am zweiten Klemmengehäuse 4 angeformten Rastelements 38, das von dem Rastelement 37 in der verrasteten Position zangenförmig umgriffen wird, vollständig isolierend umgeben, so daß sich eine sehr gute Isolation der Stromschiene 7 auch im Bereich der Öffnung der Wand 2 ergibt.The mechanical connection between the two terminal housings 3, 4 takes place with the aid of mutually associated latching elements 37, 38, which are designed in the illustrated preferred embodiment as mutually engageable rows of teeth. Taking into account the inherent elasticity of the existing plastic terminal housing 3, 4, the row of teeth can be brought together by simply pushing together the two terminal housing 3, 4, so that a secure and permanent locking of the two terminal housing 3, 4 is given. How out Fig. 2 it can be seen, the busbar 7 is surrounded by the box-shaped design of the molded on the second terminal housing 4 locking element 38, which is surrounded by the locking element 37 in the latched position pincers, completely insulating, so that a very good insulation of the busbar 7 in the Area of the opening of the wall 2 results.

Um eine bestimmte Orientierung der beiden Klemmengehäuse 3, 4 gegenüber der Wand 2 zu gewährleisten, weisen das erste Klemmengehäuse 3 und das zweite Klemmengehäuse 4 einander zugeordnete Drehsicherungselemente 39, 40 auf, wobei bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel im ersten Klemmengehäuse 3 eine Bohrung und am zweiten Klemmengehäuse 4 ein Stift ausgebildet ist. Bei dem in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind ist die Anschlußrichtung des ersten Leiters 12 im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Anschlußrichtung des zweiten Leiters 17. Selbstverständlich kann die Anschlußrichtung der beiden Leiter 12, 17 auch parallel oder entgegengesetzt zueinander sein, wobei die Anschlußrichtung der beiden Leiter 12, 17 sowohl senkrecht als auch parallel zur Flächennormalen der Wand 2 verlaufen kann.In order to ensure a certain orientation of the two terminal housing 3, 4 relative to the wall 2, the first terminal housing 3 and the second terminal housing 4 mutually associated anti-rotation elements 39, 40, wherein in the embodiment shown here in the first terminal housing 3 has a bore and the second Terminal housing 4, a pin is formed. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the connecting direction of the first conductor 12 is substantially perpendicular to the connecting direction of the second conductor 17. Of course, the connection direction of the two conductors 12, 17 also be parallel or opposite to each other, wherein the connecting direction of the two conductors 12, 17 can run both perpendicular and parallel to the surface normal of the wall 2.
