- the invention also relates to a method for mounting a corresponding electrical terminal.
- Electrical terminals are known in a variety of embodiments.
- the terminals may be formed as a so-called print terminal, for example, for connection to another conductor as a terminal block or for connecting an electrical conductor to a circuit board.
- electrical terminals can also be part of electrical devices such as circuit breakers, residual current circuit breakers or surge protectors and serve to connect the conductors to be connected to the arranged inside the device components.
- both loop-shaped clamping springs so-called tension spring terminals, as well as U-shaped or V-shaped clamping springs, so-called leg springs used.
- tension spring terminals rigid conductors or conductors provided with a wire end sleeve can be inserted directly, ie without the clamping point having to be opened beforehand with a tool. Therefore, such terminals are also referred to as direct plug-in terminals.
- loop-shaped tension springs - according to their name - the conductor to be connected pulled by the clamping leg against a busbar.
- U-shaped or V-shaped clamping springs the conductor to be connected from Clamping leg pressed against the current bar or a portion of a metal part.
- an electrical terminal with a substantially V-shaped clamping spring and a metal part.
- the clamping spring acts as a compression spring which presses a conductor to be connected by the spring force of the clamping spring against acting as a current bar bent portion of the metal part and thereby produces the electrically conductive contact between the conductor and the current bar or the metal part.
- an electrical terminal is known as part of a service switching device in which two electrical conductors can be connected to a current bar within a chamber.
- a double spring is arranged with two clamping legs within a clamping frame, wherein the two clamping legs each forms a clamping point for a connected stripped conductor with a bent from the clamping frame clamping piece.
- a current bar is formed, via which the electrical connection between the clamping frame and a device arranged in the interior of the service switching device is produced.
- a special double spring is required as a clamping spring.
- the assembly of the clamping frame with the molded-in current bar and inserted in the clamping frame double spring is expensive.
- the EP 1 734 551 A1 discloses a plug-in device for an electrical switching device.
- the plug-in device has a housing, two V-shaped clamping springs and arranged between the two arranged in a plane clamping springs plug contact.
- the two mirror-symmetrical to the plug contact opposite clamping springs are arranged directly within a chamber formed in the housing. Due to the opposing arrangement of the two clamping springs in a plane, the housing of the known plug-in device in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the plug contact must have relatively large dimensions.
- the maximum cross section of a conductor to be connected depends on whether the conductor has a wire end ferrule or not.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, an input described electrical terminal in such a way that it is as simple as possible, with a connection of rigid conductors or conductors provided with a wire end directly, i. without the clamping point having to be opened beforehand with a tool, it should be possible.
- the maximum cross section of the conductors to be connected should be independent of whether the conductor has a wire end ferrule or not.
- the electrical terminal according to the invention initially differs from the distributor terminals known from practice in that, instead of two tension spring terminals, two separate leg springs each having a clamping leg and a bearing leg are used as clamping springs become. In addition, the two clamping springs are neither placed directly on the end of the current bar nor inserted in a clamping frame.
- an additional spring receptacle which preferably consists of plastic, is provided, on which the two in the longitudinal extent of the current bar juxtaposed clamping springs are attached.
- the spring retainer in this case has a partition which is located between the two clamping springs when they are mounted.
- the spring receptacle serves not only for mounting the two clamping springs in the chamber of the housing of the electrical connection terminal, but also to ensure a defined distance between the two clamping springs. This ensures that two provided for the electrical terminal conductor with maximum diameter can still be connected even if both conductors have a wire end ferrule. The space required for the ferrules, in particular for the plastic collar, between two adjacent conductors to be connected is thus ensured by the partition wall of the spring receiver.
- the maximum permissible conductor cross-section of a flexible conductor with a conductor end sleeve is less than the maximum permissible cross-section of a rigid conductor.
- the electrical connection terminal has two clamping springs and at least one current bar.
- the electrical connection terminal may also have more than two clamping springs, for example four or eight clamping springs, in particular if the electrical connection terminal is a terminal block which generally has at least one chamber on both connection sides.
- a simple feed-through terminal which in each case has a chamber on both connection sides, thus has a total of four clamping springs - two clamping springs in each chamber.
- the spring retainer on both sides of the partition on a plurality of projections which serve to hold the clamping springs.
- a projection within and two projections outside the clamping spring are arranged on both sides of the partition wall.
- the two projections arranged within the clamping spring are thus at least partially looped around each by a clamping spring, wherein these projections are each formed and arranged on the partition that they serve as a stop for each clamping leg when deflecting the clamping legs.
- the spring receptacle is locked with the clamping springs in the chamber of the housing, including in the chamber and on the spring retainer mutually corresponding locking devices are formed.
- the locking devices are arranged in the region between the two legs of the clamping springs, so that do not increase the dimensions of the spring retainer and the chamber by the locking devices.
- the latching devices are preferably realized by two latching pins arranged within the chamber and two corresponding openings formed in the spring receptacle, so that the spring receptacle can be easily fitted with the openings on the latching pins in the chamber.
- At least one latching element for latching the current bar in the housing is formed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention within the chamber of the housing, for which purpose the current bar has a corresponding latching recess. This ensures that not only the clamping springs can be securely attached to the spring receptacle, but also that the spring receptacle and the current bar is held securely in the housing.
- the assembly is carried out such that first the two clamping springs are arranged on each side of the partition of the spring receiving, then the spring retainer with the attached two clamping springs inserted into the chamber and then the current bar as a separate component in the chamber of the housing is used, that form the clamping legs of the two clamping springs with the current bar each a terminal point for a connected stripped conductor.
- the spring receptacle is first attached to the current bar, for which purpose mutually corresponding latching devices are formed on the current bar and on the spring receptacle. Only then does the arrangement of the two clamping springs on each side of the partition of the spring receiving such that the clamping legs each form a terminal point for a conductor with the current bar. Finally, the preassembled subassembly, consisting of the two clamping springs, the current bar and the spring receiver, is inserted into the chamber of the housing.
- the spring receptacle is preferably latched when inserted into the housing in the chamber, including within the chamber, two locking pins and in the spring retainer two corresponding to the locking pin openings are formed.
- Both the spring receiver and the clamping springs are preferably designed so that they can be used for both types of assembly described above. Moreover, since the spring receptacle is preferably formed symmetrically to the running through the partition center plane, the same spring receptacle can be used on both sides of the terminal in terminal blocks, so that reduces the number of required components.
- FIG. 1 an electrical terminal 1 is shown, which is designed as a terminal block.
- the electrical terminal 1 has a housing 2 made of plastic, wherein in the housing 2 on both sides of the terminal 1 each two clamping springs 3, 3 'and a clamping springs 3, 3' interconnecting current bar 4 are arranged.
- two chambers 5 are formed in the housing 2 of the terminal block. Via a conductor insertion opening 6, in which two electrical conductors can be inserted, the conductors to be connected can each be inserted into a chamber 5.
- the clamping springs 3, 3 ' are substantially V-shaped, so that it is leg springs, each having a clamping leg 7, a plant leg 8 and the two legs 7, 8 interconnecting arcuate back 9 ,
- the clamping springs 3, 3 'in each case together with a portion of the current bar 4 form a spring terminal connection, in which the clamping legs 7 with the current bar 4 each form a terminal point for a stripped conductor to be connected.
- a spring receptacle 10 is disposed within the chamber 5 of the housing 2, which has a partition wall 11, the main extension extends in the direction of extension of the current bar 4, ie their surface normal to the longitudinal extent of in Fig. 1 shown electrical terminal 1 runs.
- the exact structure and design of the spring retainer 10 are in particular with reference to the perspective views in Fig. 2 recognizable.
- the spring receptacle 10 has on both sides of the partition wall 11 a plurality of projections 12, 13, 14, which serve for holding the clamping springs 3, 3 'on one side of the partition wall 11. How out Fig. 3 can be seen, the approximately rib-like projection 12 with mounted clamping springs 3, 3 'within the clamping springs 3, 3', that is arranged between the clamping leg 7 and the plant leg 8, while the two bar-shaped projections 13, 14 outside of the clamping springs 3, 3 ' are arranged.
- the projections 13, 14 are arranged and spaced from each other so that the clamping leg 7 and the abutment leg 8 are slightly from its rest position, inwardly deflected when a clamping springs 3, 3 'is attached to the spring retainer 10.
- the clamping spring 3, 3 'is thus held by the spring force between the two projections 13, 14.
- the clamping spring 3 remains in its predetermined position, one end 15 of the projection 13 is arranged and formed such that the clamping spring 3 with its arcuate back 9, the end 15 at least partially surrounds or rests on the end 15.
- the rib-like projection 12 has a portion 16 whose contour is adapted to the contour of the clamping leg 7 and which is arranged on the spring seat 10, that the portion 16 of the projection 12 during deflection of the clamping leg 7 serves as a stop for this.
- the projection 12 thus serves not only for fixing the position of the clamping spring 3, but at the same time as an overstretch protection for the clamping spring.
- both the locking pin 17 and the openings 18 are arranged such that they are in the mounted state of the spring retainer 10 between the two legs 7, 8 of the clamping springs 3, 3 '.
- the arrangement and design of the locking pin 17 and the openings 18 thus does not lead to an increase in the dimensions of the chamber 5 and the spring retainer 10.
- the two openings 18 are formed in the spring retainer 10 in the region of the projections 12 so that a deliberate deflection of the clamping leg 7 when connecting an electrical conductor by the locking pin 17 is not hindered.
- the assembly is carried out such that initially the two clamping springs 3, 3 'are attached to both sides of the partition 11 on the spring seat 10 ( Fig. 3 ). Subsequently, the assembly of the two clamping springs 3, 3 'and the spring retainer 10 is inserted into the chamber 5 in the housing 2, for which purpose the spring retainer 10 is plugged with its openings 18 on the locking pin 17 ( Fig. 5 ). Thereafter, the current bar 4 is inserted into the chamber 5, wherein the clamping legs 7 of the two clamping springs 3, 3 'each form a clamping point for a connected stripped conductor with the current bar 4.
- the Fig. 7 to 10 show a second embodiment of an electrical terminal 1, which are opposite to in the Fig. 3 to 6 illustrated embodiment differs in particular by a slightly different shaped current bar 4. About that points in the Fig. 7 to 10 shown terminal 1 on a slightly different mounting sequence than that which has been previously described. In contrast, there are no differences between both the used clamping springs 3, 3 'and in particular between the inserted spring housings 10th
- a spring receptacle 10 according to Fig. 2 attached to the current bar 4 ( Fig. 7 ).
- a plurality of mutually corresponding locking devices are formed on the current bar 4 and the spring retainer 10.
- a latching projection 21 and a latching recess 24 are formed, which cooperate with a corresponding latching recess 22 and a latching projection 23 respectively on one end face of the spring receptacle 10.
- the current bar 4 still has a vertically bent, fork-shaped latching element 25, which surrounds a formed on the spring seat 10 web 26 in the mounted state.
- the locking devices are all designed and arranged so that they are neither an insertion of the spring holder 10 without current bar 4 ( Fig. 5 ) is still an insertion of the spring holder 10 with current bar 4 ( Fig. 9 ) hinder in the chamber 5 in the housing 2.
- terminal 1 is a closure of the chambers 5 by means of a lid or a separate side wall is not provided, but nevertheless also possible in principle.
- a closure of the chambers 5 is therefore not necessary in this embodiment, since of the current bar 4 two side walls 28, 29 are bent so that they as Serve limit for the conductor end to be connected, so that an inserted conductor can not be pushed laterally out of the nip by the clamping leg 7.
- the spring receptacle 10 is symmetrical to the median plane, ie to the dividing wall 11, so that the same spring receptacle 10 can be mounted on both connection sides of the terminal block 1.
- each still two actuation openings 30 are formed, in each of which an actuation lever 31 is arranged.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Anschlussklemme mit einem Gehäuse, mit zwei Klemmfedern und mit mindestens einem Strombalken, wobei im Gehäuse eine Kammer zur Aufnahme der Klemmfedern und zumindest eines Endes des mindestens einen Strombalkens und mindestens eine Leitereinführungsöffnung zur Einführung von zwei Leitern ausgebildet sind, und wobei die Klemmfedern jeweils einen Klemmschenkel, einen Anlageschenkel und einen die beiden Schenkel miteinander verbindenden bogenförmigen Rücken aufweisen, wobei die Klemmschenkel mit dem Strombalken jeweils eine Klemmstelle für einen anzuschließenden abisolierten Leiter bilden. Daneben betrifft die Erfindung noch ein Verfahren zur Montage einer entsprechenden elektrischen Anschlussklemme.The invention relates to an electrical terminal with a housing, with two clamping springs and at least one current bar, wherein in the housing a chamber for receiving the clamping springs and at least one end of the at least one current bar and at least one conductor insertion opening for the introduction of two conductors are formed, and wherein the clamping springs each having a clamping leg, a plant leg and the two legs interconnecting arcuate back, wherein the clamping legs each form a terminal point for a connected stripped conductor with the current bar. In addition, the invention also relates to a method for mounting a corresponding electrical terminal.
Elektrische Anschlussklemmen sind in einer Vielzahl von Ausführungsformen bekannt. Die Anschlussklemmen können dabei beispielsweise zur Verbindung mit einem weiteren Leiter als Reihenklemme oder zum Anschluss eines elektrischen Leiters an eine Leiterplatte als sogenannte Printklemme ausgebildet sein. Darüber hinaus können elektrische Anschlussklemmen jedoch auch Teil elektrischer Geräte wie beispielsweise Leitungsschutzschalter, Fehlerstromschutzschalter oder Überspannungsschutzschalter sein und zur Verbindung der anzuschließenden Leiter mit den im Inneren der Geräte angeordneten Bauteile dienen.Electrical terminals are known in a variety of embodiments. The terminals may be formed as a so-called print terminal, for example, for connection to another conductor as a terminal block or for connecting an electrical conductor to a circuit board. In addition, however, electrical terminals can also be part of electrical devices such as circuit breakers, residual current circuit breakers or surge protectors and serve to connect the conductors to be connected to the arranged inside the device components.
Als Klemmfedern werden sowohl schlaufenförmige Klemmfedern, sogenannte Zugfederklemmen, als auch U-förmige oder V-förmige Klemmfedern, sogenannte Schenkelfedern, eingesetzt. In Schenkelfedern können starre Leiter oder mit einer Adernendhülse versehene Leiter direkt, d. h. ohne das die Klemmstelle vorher mit einem Werkzeug geöffnet werden muß, eingesteckt werden. Daher werden derartige Anschlussklemmen auch als Direktsteck-Anschlussklemmen bezeichnet. Bei den bekannten schlaufenförmigen Zugfedern wird - entsprechend ihrem Namen - der anzuschließende Leiter vom Klemmschenkel gegen eine Stromschiene gezogen. Im Unterschied dazu wird bei U-förmige oder V-förmige Klemmfedern der anzuschließende Leiter vom Klemmschenkel gegen den Strombalken bzw. einen Bereich eines Metallteils gedrückt.As clamping springs, both loop-shaped clamping springs, so-called tension spring terminals, as well as U-shaped or V-shaped clamping springs, so-called leg springs used. In torsion springs, rigid conductors or conductors provided with a wire end sleeve can be inserted directly, ie without the clamping point having to be opened beforehand with a tool. Therefore, such terminals are also referred to as direct plug-in terminals. In the known loop-shaped tension springs - according to their name - the conductor to be connected pulled by the clamping leg against a busbar. In contrast, in U-shaped or V-shaped clamping springs, the conductor to be connected from Clamping leg pressed against the current bar or a portion of a metal part.
Aus der
In der Regel sind in einer im Gehäuse einer elektrischen Anschlussklemme ausgebildeten Kammer immer nur eine Klemmfeder und ein Strombalken bzw. das Ende eines Strombalkens angeordnet, so dass durch die Leitereinführungsöffnung auch nur ein elektrischer Leiter zum Einstecken in die Klemmstelle eingeführt werden kann. Daneben gibt es jedoch auch elektrische Anschlussklemmen, die einen so genannten Doppelanschluss aufweisen, bei denen nämlich innerhalb einer Kammer zwei Klemmfedern zum Anschließen zwei Leiter nebeneinander angeordnet sind. In der Praxis werden derartige Anschlussklemmen mit Doppelanschluss beispielsweise als Verteilerklemmen eingesetzt, da sie durch den Doppelanschluss die Möglichkeit einer hohen Verdrahtungsdichte auf engstem Raum bieten (vgl.
Auch aus der
Die
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Eingangs beschriebene elektrische Anschlussklemme derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass sie möglichst einfach aufgebaut ist, wobei ein Anschluss von starren Leitern oder mit einer Adernendhülse versehenen Leitern direkt, d.h. ohne dass die Klemmstelle vorher mit einem Werkzeug geöffnet werden muss, möglich sein soll. Darüber soll der maximale Querschnitt der anzuschließenden Leiter unabhängig davon sein, ob der Leiter eine Aderendhülse aufweist oder nicht.The invention is therefore based on the object, an input described electrical terminal in such a way that it is as simple as possible, with a connection of rigid conductors or conductors provided with a wire end directly, i. without the clamping point having to be opened beforehand with a tool, it should be possible. In addition, the maximum cross section of the conductors to be connected should be independent of whether the conductor has a wire end ferrule or not.
Diese Aufgabe ist bei der eingangs beschriebenen elektrischen Anschlussklemme mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in the electrical terminal described above with the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Anschlussklemme unterscheidet sich zunächst dadurch von den aus der Praxis bekannten Verteilerklemmen, dass als Klemmfedern anstelle zweier Zugfederklemmen zwei separate Schenkelfedern mit jeweils einem Klemmschenkel und einem Anlageschenkel verwendet werden. Darüber hinaus sind die beiden Klemmfedern weder direkt auf das Ende des Strombalkens aufgesetzt noch in einem Klemmrahmen eingesetzt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Anschlussklemme ist vielmehr eine zusätzliche Federaufnahme, die vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff besteht, vorgesehen, an der die beiden in Längserstreckung des Strombalkens nebeneinander angeordneten Klemmfedern befestigt sind. Die Federaufnahme weist dabei eine Trennwand auf, die sich zwischen den beiden Klemmfedern befindet, wenn diese montiert sind.The electrical terminal according to the invention initially differs from the distributor terminals known from practice in that, instead of two tension spring terminals, two separate leg springs each having a clamping leg and a bearing leg are used as clamping springs become. In addition, the two clamping springs are neither placed directly on the end of the current bar nor inserted in a clamping frame. In the electrical terminal according to the invention rather an additional spring receptacle, which preferably consists of plastic, is provided, on which the two in the longitudinal extent of the current bar juxtaposed clamping springs are attached. The spring retainer in this case has a partition which is located between the two clamping springs when they are mounted.
Die Federaufnahme dient nicht nur zur Montage der beiden Klemmfedern in der Kammer des Gehäuses der elektrischen Anschlussklemme, sondern auch dazu, einen definierten Abstand zwischen den beiden Klemmfedern zu gewährleisten. Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, dass zwei für die elektrische Anschlussklemme vorgesehene Leiter mit maximalem Durchmesser auch dann noch angeschlossen werden können, wenn beide Leiter eine Aderendhülse aufweisen. Der für die Aderendhülsen, insbesondere für deren Kunststoffkragen, benötigte Platz zwischen zwei benachbarten anzuschließenden Leitern, wird somit durch die Trennwand der Federaufnahme gewährleistet. Im Unterschied dazu ist bei den aus der Praxis bekannten Verteilerklemmen mit einem durch zwei Zugfederklemmen gebildeten Doppelanschluss der maximal zulässige Leiterquerschnitt eines flexiblen Leiters mit Adernendhülse geringer als der maximal zulässige Querschnitt eines starren Leiters.The spring receptacle serves not only for mounting the two clamping springs in the chamber of the housing of the electrical connection terminal, but also to ensure a defined distance between the two clamping springs. This ensures that two provided for the electrical terminal conductor with maximum diameter can still be connected even if both conductors have a wire end ferrule. The space required for the ferrules, in particular for the plastic collar, between two adjacent conductors to be connected is thus ensured by the partition wall of the spring receiver. In contrast, in the case of the distributor terminals known from practice with a double connection formed by two spring-cage terminals, the maximum permissible conductor cross-section of a flexible conductor with a conductor end sleeve is less than the maximum permissible cross-section of a rigid conductor.
Eingangs ist ausgeführt worden, dass die elektrische Anschlussklemme zwei Klemmfedern und mindestens einen Strombalken aufweist. Dadurch ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass die elektrische Anschlussklemme auch mehr als zwei Klemmfedern, beispielsweise vier oder acht Klemmfedern aufweisen kann, insbesondere dann, wenn es sich bei der elektrischen Anschlussklemme um eine Reihenklemme handelt, die in der Regel auf beiden Anschlussseiten mindestens eine Kammer aufweisen. Eine einfache Durchgangsklemme, die auf beiden Anschlussseiten jeweils eine Kammer aufweist, weist somit insgesamt vier Klemmfedern - zwei Klemmfedern in jeder Kammer - auf. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, dass nur auf einer Seite einer derartigen Durchgangsklemme eine Kammer mit zwei Klemmfedern vorgesehen ist, während auf der anderen Seite lediglich eine Klemmfeder in der Kammer angeordnet ist.Initially, it has been stated that the electrical connection terminal has two clamping springs and at least one current bar. As a result, it is not excluded that the electrical connection terminal may also have more than two clamping springs, for example four or eight clamping springs, in particular if the electrical connection terminal is a terminal block which generally has at least one chamber on both connection sides. A simple feed-through terminal, which in each case has a chamber on both connection sides, thus has a total of four clamping springs - two clamping springs in each chamber. Of course, it is also possible that only one side of such a through terminal a chamber with two clamping springs is provided, while on the other side only a clamping spring is arranged in the chamber.
Darüber hinaus ist es grundsätzlich auch möglich, dass innerhalb einer Kammer nicht nur zwei Klemmfedern, sondern auch die Enden zweier Strombalken angeordnet sind, so dass zwei elektrische Leiter an zwei unterschiedliche Potentiale angeschlossen werden können. Unabhängig davon wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Erfindung jedoch stets davon ausgegangen, dass in einer Kammer zwar zwei Klemmfedern jedoch nur ein Strombalken bzw. das Ende eines Strombalkens angeordnet ist, so dass zwei an die beiden Klemmfedern angeschlossene Leiter mit dem selben Strombalken und damit auch mit dem selben Potential verbunden werden.In addition, it is in principle also possible that within a chamber not only two clamping springs, but also the ends of two current bars are arranged, so that two electrical conductors can be connected to two different potentials. Regardless of this, however, it is always assumed in the following description of the invention that in a chamber, however, only one current bar or the end of a current bar is arranged, so that two connected to the two clamping springs conductor with the same current bar and thus also be connected to the same potential.
Gemäß der Erfindung weist die Federaufnahme, auf beiden Seiten der Trennwand mehrere Vorsprünge auf, die zur Halterung der Klemmfedern dienen. Vorzugsweise sind dabei auf beiden Seiten der Trennwand jeweils ein Vorsprung innerhalb und zwei Vorsprünge außerhalb der Klemmfeder angeordnet. Die beiden innerhalb der Klemmfeder angeordneten Vorsprünge werden somit zumindest teilweise jeweils von einer Klemmfeder umschlungen, wobei diese Vorsprünge jeweils derart ausgebildet und an der Trennwand angeordnet sind, dass sie beim Auslenken der Klemmschenkel als Anschlag für jeweils einen Klemmschenkel dienen.According to the invention, the spring retainer, on both sides of the partition on a plurality of projections which serve to hold the clamping springs. Preferably, a projection within and two projections outside the clamping spring are arranged on both sides of the partition wall. The two projections arranged within the clamping spring are thus at least partially looped around each by a clamping spring, wherein these projections are each formed and arranged on the partition that they serve as a stop for each clamping leg when deflecting the clamping legs.
Dieser, im Bereich zwischen den beiden Schenkeln einer Klemmfeder, von der Trennwand senkrecht abstehende Vorsprung weist ein Ende auf, das im montierten Zustand der Klemmfedern an der Federaufnahme, im Bereich des bogenförmigen Rückens der Klemmfedern angeordnet ist, so dass der bogenförmige Rücken der Klemmfeder zumindest bereichsweise an dem Ende des Vorsprungs an- bzw. aufliegt. Die beiden anderen Vorsprünge sind derart im Bereich des Klemmschenkels bzw. des Anlageschenkels angeordnet, dass die Klemmfeder zwischen die beiden Vorsprünge geklemmt ist, wenn der Klemmschenkel und der Anlageschenkel bei der Montage geringfügig zusammengedrückt werden. Die Klemmfedern können dadurch einfach an der Federaufnahme montiert werden, wobei die Klemmfedern aufgrund ihrer Federkraft an der Federaufnahme, gehalten werden.This, in the region between the two legs of a clamping spring, vertically projecting from the partition projection has an end which is arranged in the mounted state of the clamping springs on the spring receiver, in the region of the arcuate back of the clamping springs, so that the arcuate back of the clamping spring at least partially on the end of the projection on or rests. The other two projections are arranged in the region of the clamping leg or the abutment leg such that the clamping spring is clamped between the two projections when the clamping leg and the plant leg are slightly compressed during assembly. The clamping springs can thereby be easily mounted on the spring receptacle, wherein the clamping springs are held on the spring seat, due to their spring force.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Anschlussklemme ist die Federaufnahme, mit den Klemmfedern in der Kammer des Gehäuses verrastet, wozu in der Kammer und an der Federaufnahme zueinander korrespondierende Rastvorrichtungen ausgebildet sind. Die Rastvorrichtungen sind dabei im Bereich zwischen den beiden Schenkeln der Klemmfedern angeordnet, so dass sich durch die Rastvorrichtungen die Abmessungen der Federaufnahme und der Kammer nicht vergrößern. Die Rastvorrichtungen werden vorzugsweise durch zwei innerhalb der Kammer angeordnete Rastzapfen und zwei in der Federaufnahme ausgebildete korrespondierende Öffnungen realisiert, so dass die Federaufnahme einfach mit den Öffnungen auf die Rastzapfen in der Kammer aufgesteckt werden kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the electrical terminal according to the invention, the spring receptacle is locked with the clamping springs in the chamber of the housing, including in the chamber and on the spring retainer mutually corresponding locking devices are formed. The locking devices are arranged in the region between the two legs of the clamping springs, so that do not increase the dimensions of the spring retainer and the chamber by the locking devices. The latching devices are preferably realized by two latching pins arranged within the chamber and two corresponding openings formed in the spring receptacle, so that the spring receptacle can be easily fitted with the openings on the latching pins in the chamber.
Neben Rastvorrichtungen zur Halterung und Verrastung der Federaufnahme ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung innerhalb der Kammer des Gehäuses auch mindestens ein Rastelement zur Verrastung des Strombalkens im Gehäuse ausgebildet, wozu der Strombalken eine korrespondierende Rastausnehmung aufweist. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass nicht nur die Klemmfedern sicher an der Federaufnahme befestigt werden können, sondern dass auch die Federaufnahme und der Strombalken sicher im Gehäuse gehalten ist.In addition to latching devices for holding and latching of the spring receiver, at least one latching element for latching the current bar in the housing is formed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention within the chamber of the housing, for which purpose the current bar has a corresponding latching recess. This ensures that not only the clamping springs can be securely attached to the spring receptacle, but also that the spring receptacle and the current bar is held securely in the housing.
Je nach Ausgestaltung des Gehäuses bzw. der im Gehäuse ausgebildeten Kammer und insbesondere je nach Ausgestaltung des Strombalkens gibt es unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten der Montage der elektrischen Anschlussklemme. Gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung erfolgt die Montage dabei derart, dass zunächst die beiden Klemmfedern auf jeweils einer Seite der Trennwand der Federaufnahme angeordnet werden, anschließend die Federaufnahme mit den daran befestigten beiden Klemmfedern in die Kammer eingesetzt und danach der Strombalken als separates Bauteil derart in die Kammer des Gehäuses eingesetzt wird, dass die Klemmschenkel der beiden Klemmfedern mit dem Strombalken jeweils eine Klemmstelle für einen anzuschließenden abisolierten Leiter bilden.Depending on the configuration of the housing or the chamber formed in the housing and in particular depending on the configuration of the current bar, there are different ways of mounting the electrical terminal. According to a first embodiment, the assembly is carried out such that first the two clamping springs are arranged on each side of the partition of the spring receiving, then the spring retainer with the attached two clamping springs inserted into the chamber and then the current bar as a separate component in the chamber of the housing is used, that form the clamping legs of the two clamping springs with the current bar each a terminal point for a connected stripped conductor.
Gemäß einem alternativen Montageansatz wird zunächst die Federaufnahme auf den Strombalken aufgesteckt, wozu am Strombalken und an der Federaufnahme zueinander korrespondierende Rastvorrichtungen ausgebildet sind. Erst danach erfolgt die Anordnung der beiden Klemmfedern auf jeweils einer Seite der Trennwand der Federaufnahme derart, dass die Klemmschenkel mit dem Strombalken jeweils eine Klemmstelle für einen Leiter bilden. Als letztes wird die vormontierte Baugruppe, bestehend aus den beiden Klemmfedern dem Strombalken und der Federaufnahme, in die Kammer des Gehäuses eingesetzt.According to an alternative mounting approach, the spring receptacle is first attached to the current bar, for which purpose mutually corresponding latching devices are formed on the current bar and on the spring receptacle. Only then does the arrangement of the two clamping springs on each side of the partition of the spring receiving such that the clamping legs each form a terminal point for a conductor with the current bar. Finally, the preassembled subassembly, consisting of the two clamping springs, the current bar and the spring receiver, is inserted into the chamber of the housing.
Unabhängig davon, welche der beiden zuvor beschriebenen Verfahren zur Montage der elektrischen Anschlussklemme vorgesehen ist, so wird die Federaufnahme vorzugsweise beim Einsetzen in das Gehäuse in der Kammer verrastet, wozu innerhalb der Kammer zwei Rastzapfen und in der Federaufnahme zwei zu den Rastzapfen korrespondierende Öffnungen ausgebildet sind.Regardless of which of the two methods described above for mounting the electrical terminal is provided, the spring receptacle is preferably latched when inserted into the housing in the chamber, including within the chamber, two locking pins and in the spring retainer two corresponding to the locking pin openings are formed.
Sowohl die Federaufnahme als auch die Klemmfedern sind vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass sie für beide zuvor beschriebenen Montagearten verwendet werden können. Da darüber hinaus die Federaufnahme vorzugsweise symmetrisch zur durch die Trennwand verlaufenden Mittelebene ausgebildet ist, kann bei Reihenklemmen dieselbe Federaufnahme auf beiden Anschlussseiten verwendet werden, so dass sich die Anzahl der benötigten Bauteile reduziert.Both the spring receiver and the clamping springs are preferably designed so that they can be used for both types of assembly described above. Moreover, since the spring receptacle is preferably formed symmetrically to the running through the partition center plane, the same spring receptacle can be used on both sides of the terminal in terminal blocks, so that reduces the number of required components.
