Abstract

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist ein Überspannungsschutzelement mit einem Gehäuse (2), mit mindestens einem in dem Gehäuse (2) angeordneten überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelement (3), insbesondere einem Varistor, mit zwei Anschlusskontakten (4, 5) zum elektrischen Anschluss des Überspannungsschutzelements (1) an den zu schützenden Strom- oder Signalpfad, mit einem elektrisch leitfähigen Verbindungselement (6) und mit einem auf das Verbindungselement (6) einwirkenden Federsystem (7), wobei der erste Anschlusskontakt (4) direkt mit dem ersten Pol des überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelements (3) in elektrisch leitendem Kontakt steht, wobei im Normalzustand des Überspannungsschutzelements (1) das Verbindungselement (6) sowohl mit dem zweiten Anschlusskontakt (5) als auch mit dem zweiten Pol des überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelements (3) über eine thermisch auftrennende Verbindung in elektrisch leitendem Kontakt steht, die dann auftrennt, wenn die Temperatur des überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelements (3) eine vorgegebene Grenztemperatur überschreitet, und wobei bei aufgetrennter thermischer Verbindung das Verbindungselement (6) durch die Kraft des Federsystems (7) derart aus der Kontaktstellung bewegt wird, dass das Verbindungselement (6) keinen elektrisch leitenden Kontakt mehr mit dem zweiten Anschlusskontakt (5) und dem zweiten Pol des überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelements (3) hat,Shown and described is an overvoltage protection element with a housing (2), with at least one in the housing (2) arranged overvoltage limiting component (3), in particular a varistor, with two connection contacts (4, 5) for electrical connection of the overvoltage protection element (1) the current or signal path to be protected, with an electrically conductive connecting element (6) and with a on the connecting element (6) acting spring system (7), wherein the first terminal contact (4) directly to the first pole of the overvoltage limiting component (3) in is electrically conductive contact, wherein in the normal state of the overvoltage protection element (1), the connecting element (6) with both the second terminal contact (5) and with the second pole of the overvoltage limiting component (3) via a thermally disconnecting connection in electrically conductive contact, the then disconnects when the temperature of the overvoltage limiting In the case of a thermal connection that has been severed, the connecting element (6) is moved out of the contact position by the force of the spring system (7) such that the connecting element (6) no longer has an electrically conductive contact with the second one Connection contact (5) and the second pole of the overvoltage limiting component (3) has,

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Überspannungsschutzelement (1) ist sowohl eine sichere und gute elektrische Verbindung im Normalzustand als auch eine sichere Abtrennung eines defekten überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelements (3) dadurch gewährleistet, dass das elektrisch leitfähige Verbindungselement (6) derart mit einem isolierenden Trennelement (10) verbunden ist, dass bei aufgetrennter thermischer Verbindung das isolierende Trennelement (10) zwischen den zweiten Anschlusskontakt (5) und den zweiten Pol des überspannungsbegrenzenden Bauelements (3) bewegt wird.

Figure imgaf001
In the overvoltage protection element (1) according to the invention, both a safe and good electrical connection in the normal state and a reliable separation of a defective overvoltage limiting component (3) is ensured by the fact that the electrically conductive connecting element (6) is connected to an insulating separating element (10) in that, when the thermal connection is interrupted, the insulating separating element (10) is moved between the second connecting contact (5) and the second pole of the overvoltage limiting component (3).
