- the electrically conductive components are sufficiently isolated, so that in several cases installed in a junction box connection terminals in such a case, the risk of short circuit is effectively avoided.
- such a connection terminal can be used even if the risk of damage, destruction or a change in the material condition of a plastic housing within the environment of the arrangement of the connection terminal can not be excluded, as is the case, for example, when used in areas of higher temperature environment.
- the plastic housing which becomes brittle due to the effect of temperature, remains between the electrical connection part and the temperature-resistant sheath, held by the sheath, and effectively forms the electrical insulator even in the case of such a state change.
- connection terminal for the production of the claimed connection terminal commercial spring terminals (plug-in terminals) can be used to which the temperature-resistant jacket is attached. This is done in accordance with a preferred embodiment by encapsulating such a spring clamp with the intended for the formation of the temperature-resistant shell material, such as a ceramic material. It is understood that in the course of this casting process at least one conductor receptacle of the housing remains free. The same applies to the rear of the conductor mounting side opposite back mostly test openings. Since such spring-type terminals are mass-produced especially in a multi-pole design, they form a cost-effective starting product from which the above-described connection terminals can be made.

- a latch is provided on the conductor mounting side of the spring-loaded terminal, which extends transversely to the row of the poles and is integrally formed on the opposite side walls of the jacket.

- one or more connecting members may be formed on the temperature-resistant jacket of the connecting terminal. These may serve the purpose of connecting individual connection terminals of this type with each other and / or fix them in a junction box.
- the design of the connecting members as part of the temperature-resistant shell has the consequence that even in a region of higher temperature, such as in a fire, the mechanical connection of the spring clamps is maintained with each other. This requires in such links, which are connected to an additional link that this also meets the temperature requirements.
- the connecting members may be projections formed on the jacket with an opening. Depending on the configuration of the same and of the extension, the opening may, for example, engage a screw, a pin or a clamp for producing the connection.
- An electrical connection terminal 1 comprises a heat-resistant ceramic jacket 2.
- the jacket 2 is made of a ceramic material which is not only heat-resistant but also has electrically insulating properties.
- a commercial spring cage terminal 3 which is designed in the illustrated embodiment 5-pin.
- FIG. 1 shows the connection terminal 1 with respect to its conductor mounting side 4.
- the conductor mounting side 4 is the side at which electrical conductors are inserted into the connection terminal 1 with its stripped end for the purpose of contacting. Therefore, the conductor mounting side 4 is open with respect to the spring clamp 3 disposed in the sheath 2. Consequently, at least some of the five conductor receptacles of the spring-loaded terminal 3 are accessible and not covered by the jacket 2.
- connection terminal 1 can therefore be used as a 4-pin connection terminal.
- the spring-loaded terminal 3 is a commercially available terminal, also referred to as a plug-in terminal. This comprises a clamping rail made of conductive metal, each pole being associated with a spring clip. For this reason, the four usable poles of the connection terminal 1 are assigned one and the same electrical conductor and can therefore be referred to in principle as connection points. Nonetheless, as is customary in common usage, these will continue to be referred to below as poles.
- the structure of the spring clamp 1 is clear from the longitudinal section of FIG. 3 ,
- the spring clamp 3 comprises as electrical connection part a clamping rail 8, which is constructed in the illustrated embodiment, as described above, 5-pin. For this reason, each pole has a spring terminal 9.
- the clamping rail 8 with its spring terminals 9 is inserted into a plastic housing 10.
- the plastic housing 10 is made in two parts in the illustrated embodiment and comprises a first housing part 11 as a receptacle for the clamping rail 8 and a second Housing part 12 which fixes the inserted in the first housing part 11 clamping rail 8 therein in the manner of a closure body.
- the plastic housing 10 has electrically insulating properties, as is the case for commercially available spring-type terminals. Enclosed is this spring clamp 3 in the ceramic shell 2.
- FIG. 3 From the longitudinal section of FIG. 3 clearly shows the arrangement of the bolt 5 can be seen that crosses the conductor mounting side 4 transverse to the order of the poles.
- the ceramic shell 2 is a casting that has been cast around the spring clamp 3 around. In this case, a mold has been used, through which the openings remain in the conductor mounting side 4, or the latch 5 is formed.
- the side walls of the ceramic shell 2 are inclined at a small angle to each other in the direction of the back 6, which slope serves as a draft angle.
- the presentation of the FIG. 3 makes it clear that the electrical connection terminal 1 can be used as a 4-pin plug-in terminal.
- the bolt 5 with its extension 6 serves the purpose that the arranged in the plastic housing 10 clamping rail 8 is still form-fitting inside the chamber formed by the ceramic shell 2, when the plastic housing 10 is no longer available.
- the clamping rail 8 remains made of metal with its spring terminals 9. In such a state of the connection terminal 1, the electrically conductive clamping rail 8 is still taken captive in the ceramic shell 2 with their spring terminals 9. This means that even in the case of fire, in which the electrically insulating plastic housing 10 has been destroyed, the electrical conductors are still not exposed, whereby a risk of short circuit is effectively avoided.
- connection terminal 1 Since in the connection terminal 1, a commercially available spring terminal 3 is used with a clamping rail 8 as an electrical connection part, the connection of electrical conductors is without tools and readily feasible. Finally, the stripped conductor ends - whether cables or wires - must only be inserted into the conductor receptacles of the connection terminal 1 and inserted into the respective spring terminal 9. These act under bias standing on the inserted conductor end, in the manner of a barb, wherein the force acting on the respective conductor clamping force increases at a voltage applied to the conductor mechanical tension.
- the ceramic shell 2 has been created by means of a casting. This manufacturing method lends itself to, if desired, to form the ceramic shell 2 connecting members. Such links may serve the purpose of interconnecting individual connection terminals. This can take place in the transverse direction and / or also in the longitudinal direction thereof.
- FIG. 5 shows in a first embodiment, a connection terminal 1.1, at its opposite transverse sides of the ceramic shell 2 each carries a connection extension 13, 13.1 as a link.
- the connection extensions 13, 13.1 each have an opening 14 or 14.1.
- the connection extensions 13, 13.1 are arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the connection terminal 1.1.
- the connection extension 13 is formed in the illustrated embodiment in the alignment of the back 6 to the ceramic shell 2.1 and extends to the middle of the height of the shell 2.1, while the connection extension 13.1 is provided with its one side in alignment with the conductor mounting side 4 and also extends with respect to the height to the center of the ceramic shell 2.1.
- several such connection terminals 1.1 are queued to each other.
- a metal pin 15 To fix the connection terminals 1.1 with each other is a metal pin 15. Since this is fire resistant, the mechanical juxtaposition of the connection terminals 1.1 is maintained even in case of fire.
- FIG. 6 shows two more, interconnected connection terminals 1.2. These each have an over the entire height extending connection extension 13.2 and 13.3. Also introduced is an opening 14.2, 14.3 in the connection extensions 13.2, 13.3. Two such, with their transverse sides adjacent connection terminals 1.2 can, as in FIG. 6 shown to be held together with a connection clip 16.
- the connecting bracket 16 is made of metal, which is why this connection is maintained in case of fire.
- connection terminals can also carry such a connecting terminal or only on its longitudinal walls, so that a multiplicity of such connecting terminals can be connected to one another. Since, in principle, such connection terminals only need to be accessible from one side, the space available in a connection box can be largely completely utilized by such interconnected connection terminals.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Verbindungsklemme, geeignet für einen Einsatz bei höheren, etwa den für eine Brandschutzanwendung geforderten Temperaturen, umfassend ein elektrisches Verbindungsteil zum Halten von miteinander zu verbindenden elektrischen Leitern durch einen Klemmschluss, und einen den Temperaturanforderungen genügenden, das Verbindungsteil einfassenden Mantel.The invention relates to an electrical connection terminal, suitable for use at higher, about the temperatures required for a fire protection application, comprising an electrical connection part for holding together to be connected electrical conductors by a terminal closure, and the temperature requirements sufficient, the connection part enclosing coat.
Für zahlreiche Anwendungen werden elektrische Verbindungsklemmen zum Verbinden von elektrischen Leitern miteinander benötigt, die gewissen Temperaturbeanspruchungen standhalten müssen. Bei diesen Temperaturbeanspruchungen kann es sich um solche handeln, die durch den Betrieb eines elektrischen Verbrauchers, beispielsweise einer Leuchte entstehen. Darüber hinaus werden derartige Verbindungsklemmen eingesetzt, damit elektrische Installationen, beispielsweise Gebäudeinstallationen den Brandschutzanforderungen genügen. Gemäß den Brandschutzanforderungen ist es erforderlich, dass bestimmte elektrische Installationen, wie etwa Kommunikationsinstallationen auch im Brandfalle zumindest über einen gewissen Zeitraum hinweg funktionstüchtig bleiben müssen. Diesen Anforderungen genügen Keramikklemmen, die oftmals als Reihenklemmen, auf einer Montageschiene sitzend, eingesetzt werden. Bei diesen Klemmen handelt es sich um Lüsterklemmen mit einem Keramikgehäuse, welches ein rohrförmiges Profil aus einem stromleitenden Material als elektrisches Verbindungsteil umgibt. In dieses elektrische Verbindungsteil sind ein oder zwei Gewindebohrungen eingebracht. In diesen sitzen Klemmschrauben. Die miteinander zu verbindenden Enden elektrischer Leiter werden mittels Klemmschrauben in dem rohrförmigen Profil festgeklemmt und sind damit durch einen Klemmschluss in dem elektrischen Verbindungsteil gehalten.For many applications, electrical connection terminals are required for connecting electrical conductors with each other, which must withstand certain temperature stresses. These temperature stresses may be those caused by the operation of an electrical load, such as a lamp. In addition, such connection terminals are used so that electrical installations, such as building installations meet the fire protection requirements. According to the fire protection requirements, it is necessary that certain electrical installations, such as communication installations must remain functional even in case of fire, at least for a certain period of time. These requirements are met by ceramic terminals, which are often used as terminal blocks, sitting on a mounting rail. These terminals are luster terminals with a ceramic housing, which surrounds a tubular profile of an electrically conductive material as an electrical connection part. In this electrical connection part one or two threaded holes are introduced. There are clamping screws in these. The ends of electrical conductors to be joined together are clamped by means of clamping screws in the tubular profile and are thus held by a terminal closure in the electrical connection part.
Bei diesen elektrischen Verbindungsklemmen bildet das Keramikgehäuse den den Temperaturanforderungen genügenden Mantel. Dieser Mantel bildet zugleich die elektrische Isolierung nach außen hin und bei Ausbildung der Verbindungsklemme als Reihenklemme die Isolierung zwischen benachbarten Polen.In these electrical connection terminals, the ceramic housing forms the coat sufficient for the temperature requirements. This jacket also forms the electrical insulation to the outside and in the formation of the connection terminal as a terminal block the insulation between adjacent poles.
Derartige elektrische Verbindungsklemmen genügen den an eine Brandschutzanwendung gestellten Anforderungen. Allerdings ist der Aufwand zum Verbinden elektrischer Leiter nicht unbeträchtlich, vor allem dann, wenn innerhalb einer Anschlussdose eine Vielzahl von Leiter miteinander zu verbinden sind. Dieses ist jedoch gerade typisch für Verbindungen von Kommunikationsinstallationen.Such electrical connection terminals satisfy the requirements placed on a fire protection application. However, the effort to connect electrical conductors is not inconsiderable, especially when a plurality of conductors are to be connected together within a junction box. However, this is just typical for connections of communication installations.

Ausgehend von diesem diskutierten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine elektrische Verbindungsklemme der eingangs genannten Art dergestalt weiterzubilden, dass diese nicht nur die für einen Einsatz bei höheren Temperaturen, insbesondere den für eine Brandschutzanwendung geforderten Temperaturen standhält, sondern dass bei dieser vor allem der Aufwand zum Erstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen zwei elektrischen Leitern vereinfacht ist.Based on this discussed prior art, the invention is therefore the object of developing an electrical connection terminal of the type mentioned in such a way that it not only withstand the requirements for use at higher temperatures, especially those required for a fire protection applications, but that in this Above all, the effort to create an electrical connection between two electrical conductors is simplified.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch eine eingangs genannte elektrische Verbindungsklemme, bei der das elektrische Verbindungsteil als Federzugklemme ausgeführt ist und in einem Kunststoffgehäuse sitzt, welches Kunststoffgehäuse formschlüssig in dem Mantel aus einem temperaturbeständigen Material angeordnet ist, wobei das elektrische Verbindungsteil mit seinem Kunststoffgehäuse von dem temperaturbeständigen Mantel dergestalt eingefasst ist, dass das elektrische Verbindungsteil auch dann unverlierbar in dem Mantel gehalten ist, wenn das Kunststoffgehäuse aufgrund einer Temperatureinwirkung zerstört oder verbrannt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention by an electrical connection terminal mentioned above, in which the electrical connection part is designed as a spring clamp and sitting in a plastic housing, which plastic housing is positively arranged in the shell of a temperature-resistant material, wherein the electrical connection part with its plastic housing of the temperature-resistant Sheath is framed such that the electrical connection part is held captive even in the jacket when the plastic housing is destroyed or burned due to a temperature effect.
Bei dieser elektrischen Verbindungsklemme ist das elektrische Verbindungsteil als Federzugklemme, oftmals auch als Steckklemme angesprochen, ausgeführt. Damit erfolgt der Anschluss eines elektrischen Leiters an dieses elektrische Verbindungsteil werkzeuglos, nämlich allein durch Einstecken des abisolierten Leiterendes. Dieses elektrische Verbindungsteil sitzt in einem Kunststoffgehäuse, durch welches die Federzugklemme typischerweise auch gleichzeitig elektrisch isoliert ist. Von Besonderheit bei der beanspruchten Verbindungsklemme ist, dass das Kunststoffgehäuse, welches das elektrische Verbindungsteil beinhaltet, formschlüssig in dem temperaturbeständigen Mantel, beispielsweise einem Keramikmantel angeordnet ist. Die Anordnung der Federzugklemme mit ihrem Kunststoffgehäuse in dem temperaturbeständigen Mantel ist dabei derart ausgeführt, dass das elektrische Verbindungsteil auch dann unverlierbar in dem Mantel gehalten ist, wenn das das Verbindungsteil umgebende Kunststoffgehäuse zerstört oder - wie in einem Brandfall die Regel - nach einer gewissen Zeit des Brandes verbrannt und daher nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Damit bleiben selbst in einem Brandfall die elektrisch leitenden Komponenten hinreichend isoliert, so dass bei mehreren in einer Anschlussdose eingebauten Verbindungsklemmen auch in einem solchen Fall die Gefahr eines Kurzschlusses wirksam vermieden ist. Gleichermaßen kann eine solche Verbindungsklemme auch dann eingesetzt werden, wenn die Gefahr einer Beschädigung, Zerstörung oder einer Änderung der Materialbeschaffenheit eines Kunststoffgehäuses innerhalb der Umgebung der Anordnung der Verbindungsklemme nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann, wie dieses beispielsweise bei Einsatz in Bereichen einer höheren Temperaturumgebung der Fall ist. In einem solchen Fall verbleibt das durch Temperatureinwirkung mitunter spröde werdende Kunststoffgehäuse zwischen dem elektrischen Verbindungsteil und dem temperaturbeständigen Mantel, gehalten durch den Mantel, bildet auch bei einer solchen Zustandsänderung wirksam den elektrischen Isolator.In this electrical connection terminal, the electrical connection part is designed as a spring-type terminal, often also addressed as a plug-in terminal. Thus, the connection of an electrical conductor to this electrical connection part takes place without tools, namely solely by inserting the stripped conductor end. This electrical connection part is seated in a plastic housing, through which the spring-loaded terminal is typically also electrically isolated at the same time. A special feature of the claimed connection terminal is that the plastic housing, which includes the electrical connection part, is arranged in a form-fitting manner in the temperature-resistant jacket, for example a ceramic shell. The arrangement of the spring clamp with its plastic housing in the temperature-resistant jacket is designed such that the electrical connection part is also held captive in the jacket when the plastic part surrounding the connecting part destroyed or - as in a fire the rule - burned after a certain time of the fire and therefore no longer available is. Thus, even in a fire, the electrically conductive components are sufficiently isolated, so that in several cases installed in a junction box connection terminals in such a case, the risk of short circuit is effectively avoided. Similarly, such a connection terminal can be used even if the risk of damage, destruction or a change in the material condition of a plastic housing within the environment of the arrangement of the connection terminal can not be excluded, as is the case, for example, when used in areas of higher temperature environment. In such a case, the plastic housing, which becomes brittle due to the effect of temperature, remains between the electrical connection part and the temperature-resistant sheath, held by the sheath, and effectively forms the electrical insulator even in the case of such a state change.
Besonders zweckmäßig bei einer solchen elektrischen Verbindungsklemme ist, dass für die Herstellung der beanspruchten Verbindungsklemme handelsübliche Federzugklemmen (Steckklemmen) verwendet werden können, um die der temperaturbeständige Mantel angebracht wird. Dieses erfolgt gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel durch Umgießen einer solchen Federzugklemme mit dem für die Ausbildung des temperaturbeständigen Mantels vorgesehenen Material, beispielsweise einem Keramikmaterial. Es versteht sich, dass im Zuge dieses Gießprozesses zumindest eine Leiteraufnahme des Gehäuses frei bleibt. Selbiges gilt für auf der der Leitermontageseite gegenüberliegenden Rückseite zumeist vorhandenen Prüföffnungen. Da derartige Federzugklemmen vor allem in einer mehrpoligen Ausführung Massenartikel sind, bilden diese ein kostengünstiges Ausgangsprodukt, aus dem sich die vorbeschriebenen Verbindungsklemmen fertigen lassen.Particularly useful in such an electrical connection terminal is that for the production of the claimed connection terminal commercial spring terminals (plug-in terminals) can be used to which the temperature-resistant jacket is attached. This is done in accordance with a preferred embodiment by encapsulating such a spring clamp with the intended for the formation of the temperature-resistant shell material, such as a ceramic material. It is understood that in the course of this casting process at least one conductor receptacle of the housing remains free. The same applies to the rear of the conductor mounting side opposite back mostly test openings. Since such spring-type terminals are mass-produced especially in a multi-pole design, they form a cost-effective starting product from which the above-described connection terminals can be made.
Bei dem vorbeschriebenen Konzept der elektrischen Verbindungsklemme wird der Umstand genutzt, dass es zum Aufrechterhalten der Funktionstüchtigkeit einer elektrischen Installation in einem Brandfall über die gewünschte Zeitspanne hinweg nicht erforderlich ist, dass die Isolierung auch den an einen Berührungsschutz gestellten Anforderungen genügen muss. Insofern hat man sich bei der Konzeption dieser elektrischen Verbindungsklemme über ein in der Branche verbreitetes Vorurteil hinweggesetzt. Diesem liegt die Überlegung zugrunde, dass in einem Brandfalle, wenn durch Abbrand die Anschlussdose und das Kunststoffgehäuse des elektrischen Verbindungsteils nicht mehr vorhanden ist, aufgrund der an dieser Stelle herrschenden hohen Temperaturen ohnehin keine Person mehr zugegen ist.In the above-described concept of the electrical connection terminal, the fact that it is used to maintain the functionality an electrical installation in a fire over the desired period of time is not required that the insulation must meet the requirements placed on a contact protection requirements. In this respect, the design of this electrical connection clamp has ignored a prejudice prevalent in the industry. This is based on the consideration that in case of fire, if by burning the junction box and the plastic housing of the electrical connection part is no longer present, due to the prevailing at this point high temperatures anyway no person is present.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass als Teil des Mantels der Verbindungsklemme ein Riegel an der Leitermontageseite der Federzugklemme vorgesehen ist, der quer zur Reihung der Pole verläuft und an den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Mantels angeformt ist. Durch diesen Riegel ist im Falle eines Verlustes des Kunststoffgehäuses sichergestellt, dass das elektrische Verbindungsteil aus dem temperaturbeständigen Mantel nicht heraus gelangen kann. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung dieses Ausführungsbeispiels verfügt der Riegel über einen Fortsatz, der in eine Leiteraufnahme des Kunststoffgehäuses hinein ragt. Dieser Fortsatz kann sich bis an die diesem Pol zugeordnete Federklemme erstrecken. Dann sitzt die Federklemme auf dem Riegel und ist durch diese Maßnahme quasi unverrückbar in dem Mantel auch dann gehalten, wenn das Kunststoffgehäuse nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Eine solche Ausgestaltung bietet sich bei einer mehrpoligen Federzugklemme an, wobei einer der Pole durch den Riegel für die elektrische Verbindung nicht mehr nutzbar ist. Es versteht sich, dass bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung auch mehrere Riegel vorgesehen sein können. Ist lediglich ein derartiger Riegel vorgesehen, bietet es sich an, diesen mittig oder mittignah in Bezug auf die Reihung der Pole anzuordnen.According to one embodiment, it is provided that, as part of the jacket of the connecting terminal, a latch is provided on the conductor mounting side of the spring-loaded terminal, which extends transversely to the row of the poles and is integrally formed on the opposite side walls of the jacket. By this bolt is ensured in the event of loss of the plastic housing, that the electrical connection part can not get out of the temperature-resistant jacket. According to a development of this embodiment, the bolt has an extension which projects into a conductor receptacle of the plastic housing. This extension can extend to the pole associated with this spring terminal. Then the spring clamp sits on the bolt and is held by this measure quasi immovable in the jacket even when the plastic housing is no longer available. Such a configuration lends itself to a multi-pole spring-type terminal, wherein one of the poles is no longer usable by the bolt for the electrical connection. It is understood that in such a configuration, a plurality of bars can be provided. If only such a bolt is provided, it is advisable to arrange this centered or mittignah with respect to the ranking of the poles.
Als Material zum Herstellen des temperaturbeständigen Mantels eignet sich insbesondere ein Keramikwerkstoff, und zwar auch auf Grund seiner Eigenschaft, durch Gießen in Form gebracht werden zu können. Mithin kann bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung die typischerweise mehrpolige Federzugklemme zur Ausbildung des temperaturbeständigen Mantels von Keramikmasse umgossen werden, die sodann um das Kunststoffgehäuse herum aushärtet.As a material for producing the temperature-resistant shell, in particular, a ceramic material is suitable, and also because of its property to be brought into shape by casting can. Consequently, in such an embodiment, the typically multi-pole spring-loaded terminal for forming the temperature-resistant shell of ceramic material can be encapsulated, which then surrounds the plastic housing hardens around.
Wenn gewünscht, können an den temperaturbeständigen Mantel der Verbindungsklemme ein oder mehrere Verbindungsglieder angeformt sein. Diese können dem Zweck dienen, einzelne Verbindungsklemmen dieser Art untereinander zu verbinden und/oder diese in einer Anschlussdose festzusetzen. Die Ausgestaltung der Verbindungsglieder als Teil des temperaturbeständigen Mantels hat zur Folge, dass auch in einem Bereich höherer Temperatur, etwa in einem Brandfalle die mechanische Verbindung der Federklemmen untereinander aufrechterhalten bleibt. Dieses setzt bei solchen Verbindungsgliedern voraus, die mit einem zusätzlichen Verbindungsglied verbunden werden, dass auch dieses den Temperaturanforderungen genügt. Beispielsweise kann es sich bei den Verbindungsgliedern um an den Mantel angeformte Fortsätze mit einer Durchbrechung handeln. Durch die Durchbrechung kann je nach Ausgestaltung derselben und des Fortsatzes beispielsweise eine Schraube, ein Stift oder eine Klammer zum Herstellen der Verbindung eingreifen.If desired, one or more connecting members may be formed on the temperature-resistant jacket of the connecting terminal. These may serve the purpose of connecting individual connection terminals of this type with each other and / or fix them in a junction box. The design of the connecting members as part of the temperature-resistant shell has the consequence that even in a region of higher temperature, such as in a fire, the mechanical connection of the spring clamps is maintained with each other. This requires in such links, which are connected to an additional link that this also meets the temperature requirements. For example, the connecting members may be projections formed on the jacket with an opening. Depending on the configuration of the same and of the extension, the opening may, for example, engage a screw, a pin or a clamp for producing the connection.

Eine elektrische Verbindungsklemme 1 umfasst einen hitzebeständigen keramischen Mantel 2. Der Mantel 2 ist aus einem keramischen Werkstoff hergestellt, der nicht nur hitzebeständig ist, sondern auch elektrisch isolierende Eigenschaften aufweist. Eingefasst in dem Mantel 2 befindet sich eine handelsübliche Federzugklemme 3, die bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel 5-polig ausgeführt ist.
Bei der Federzugklemme 3 handelt es sich um eine handelsübliche, auch als Steckklemme angesprochene Klemme. Diese umfasst eine aus leitendem Metall hergestellte Klemmschiene, wobei jedem Pol eine Federklemme zugeordnet ist. Aus diesem Grunde sind die vier nutzbaren Pole der Verbindungsklemme 1 ein und demselben elektrischen Leiter zugeordnet und können daher prinzipiell auch als Anschlussstellen bezeichnet werden. Gleichwohl werden diese, wie im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch üblich, nachfolgend weiterhin als Pole angesprochen.The spring-loaded

Die Beschreibung des Keramikmantels 2, insbesondere wie dieser die Federzugklemme 3 einfasst, macht deutlich, dass die Federzugklemme 3 darin formschlüssig gehalten ist. Dabei dient der Riegel 5 mit seinem Fortsatz 6 dem Zweck, dass die in dem Kunststoffgehäuse 10 angeordnete Klemmschiene 8 sich auch dann noch formschlüssig innerhalb der durch den Keramikmantel 2 gebildeten Kammer befindet, wenn das Kunststoffgehäuse 10 nicht mehr vorhanden ist. In einem Brandfalle ist damit zu rechnen, dass das Kunststoffgehäuse 10 bereits nach wenigen Minuten abgebrannt bzw. weggeschmolzen ist. Zurück bleibt die Klemmschiene 8 aus Metall mit ihren Federklemmen 9. Bei einem solchen Zustand der Verbindungsklemme 1 ist die elektrisch leitende Klemmschiene 8 mit ihren Federklemmen 9 immer noch unverlierbar in dem Keramikmantel 2 aufgenommen. Dieses bedeutet, dass selbst im Brandfalle, bei dem das elektrisch isolierende Kunststoffgehäuse 10 zerstört worden ist, die elektrischen Leiter dennoch nicht frei liegen, wodurch eine Kurzschlussgefahr wirksam vermieden ist.The description of the
Da bei der Verbindungsklemme 1 eine handelsübliche Federzugklemme 3 mit einer Klemmschiene 8 als elektrischem Verbindungsteil eingesetzt ist, ist das Anschließen von elektrischen Leitern werkzeuglos und ohne weiteres durchführbar. Schließlich müssen die abisolierten Leiterenden - seien es Kabel oder Litzen - nur in die Leiteraufnahmen der Verbindungsklemme 1 eingesetzt und in die jeweilige Federklemme 9 eingeschoben werden. Diese wirken unter Vorspannung stehend auf das eingesetzte Leiterende, und zwar nach Art eines Widerhakens, wobei sich die auf den jeweiligen Leiter wirkende Klemmkraft bei einer auf dem Leiter anliegenden mechanischen Zugspannung noch erhöht.Since in the
Bei dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Keramikmantel 2 im Wege eines Gusses erstellt worden. Dieses Herstellungsverfahren bietet sich an, um, wenn gewünscht, an den Keramikmantel 2 Verbindungsglieder anzuformen. Derartige Verbindungsglieder können dem Zweck dienen, einzelne Verbindungsklemmen miteinander zu verbinden. Dieses kann in Querrichtung und/oder auch in Längsrichtung derselben erfolgen.In the embodiment described above, the
Dieselben oder auch andere Verbindungsglieder kann eine solche Verbindungsklemme auch oder auch nur an ihren Längswänden tragen, so dass sich eine Vielzahl derartiger Verbindungsklemmen miteinander verbinden lassen. Da prinzipiell derartige Verbindungsklemmen nur von einer Seite her zugänglich zu sein brauchen, kann der in einer Anschlussdose zur Verfügung stehende Raum weitestgehend vollständig durch derartige, miteinander verbundene Verbindungsklemmen genutzt werden.The same or other connecting links can also carry such a connecting terminal or only on its longitudinal walls, so that a multiplicity of such connecting terminals can be connected to one another. Since, in principle, such connection terminals only need to be accessible from one side, the space available in a connection box can be largely completely utilized by such interconnected connection terminals.
Die Erfindung ist unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren anhand einer 4-polig einsetzbaren Verbindungsklemme beschrieben worden. Es versteht sich, dass in gleicher Weise auch Federzugklemmen mit einer anderen Polanzahl mit einem Keramikmantel ummantelt als Verbindungsklemmen, geeignet für einen bei höheren, etwa den für eine Brandschutzanwendung geforderten Temperaturen einsetzbar sind. Gleichermaßen ist es möglich, mehrere oder auch eine Vielzahl von handelsüblichen Federzugklemmen in einer Gussform anzuordnen, um anschließend diese in einem gemeinsamen Keramikmantel unterzubringen.The invention has been described with reference to the figures with reference to a 4-pole insertable connection terminal. It is understood that in the same way spring terminals with a different number of poles sheathed with a ceramic sheath as connecting terminals, suitable for a higher, about the temperatures required for a fire protection application can be used. Similarly, it is possible to arrange several or even a plurality of commercially available spring-type terminals in a casting mold, in order subsequently to accommodate them in a common ceramic jacket.
