  • either of the internal walls of the slot-like recess or the coupler element is equipped with clamping means for mechanically securing the coupler element in the slot-like recess upon insertion and before the U-limbs are fastened by the screw-type connection means.
  • the distribution unit 1 has a substructure 7 in form of a mounting plate. There are two locations with means for installing a top hat rail 32, also called a DIN hat rail, to the substructure 7. Instead of the top hat rail 32 shown any other kind of profiled rails allowed in the various technical standards that are applied in different countries throughout the world for electrical distribution boards may be applied.
  • the top hat rail serves for mounting electrical installation devices, such as miniature circuit breakers (MCM), residual current circuit breakers (RCCB), contactor devices, overvoltage protection devices or the like.
  • MCM miniature circuit breakers
  • RRCB residual current circuit breakers
  • contactor devices overvoltage protection devices or the like.
  • an MCB device 33 is mounted to the top hat rail 32.
  • two such top hat rails can be installed in parallel and at a distance apart from each other, although only one of them, the one close to the topside edge 34 of the mounting plate 7 of the distribution unit 1 is shown.
  • the distribution unit 1 is further comprising a connection terminal block arrangement, in particular for connecting protective earth conductors and neutral conductors (PE/N terminal).
  • the connection terminal block arrangement is located at the topside edge of the mounting plate 7. It could, however, also be located at the bottom side, opposite of the topside edge 34, or there could be connection terminal block arrangements located both at the topside 34 and the bottom side.
  • the terminal block arrangement has a mounting strip 2 and modules 3, only one module 3 shown in exemplary mode in figure 1 , that can be fitted to the mounting strip 2 next to one another in a row.
  • the connection terminal block arrangement usually has a conductor rail and a number of connection elements for the purpose of connecting conductors to the conductor rail.
  • Each of the modules 3 has at least one of the connection elements.
  • the modules 3 have an insulating housing 4 and a conductor rail section (not shown here in figure 1 ) which is arranged within the housing 4.
  • the conductor rail sections are forming the conductor rail, and the connection terminal block arrangement may have links for the purpose of electrically connecting the conductor rail sections of modules which are fitted next to one another on the mounting strip.
  • connection terminal module housing 4 has an upper connection compartment 401 and a lower connection compartment 402.
  • connection terminal module housing 4 has an upper connection compartment 401 and a lower connection compartment 402.
  • screwless spring-type connection means 403 arranged in the upper connection compartment 401
  • screw-type connection means 404 arranged in the lower connection compartment 402. Both the screwless and the screw-type connection means are contacting and mechanically and electrically connecting inserted conductors to a U-profiled contact element 40.
  • a U-shaped link element 500 also called a coupler 500, can be inserted with one of its U-limbs into the insertion opening 405 of the screw-type connection means 404 in the lower connection compartment 402 located at the side of a first module housing, as is shown in figure 7 .
  • With its other U-limb 501 it may be inserted into the insertion opening of the screw-type connection means in the lower connection compartment located at the side of a second module housing, located adjacent to the first module housing, both U-limbs being fixed by the respective clamping screws 406.
  • an electrical connection can be established between the two U-profiled contact elements 40 of the two neighboured connection terminal housings. So electrically, the two U-profiled contact elements 40 perform as one single long conductor rail across both connection terminal housings. This can be repeated with any number of adjacently arranged connection terminal housings in a row.
  • connection part between the two U-limbs, the central bar of the link element, is protected by an insulating cover 502.
  • an insulating cover 502. In order to save space, there is a recess 503 foreseen in the housing on the insertion side 60 for receiving the major part of the insulating cover 502, so that the insulating cover 502 of the coupler 500 will not protrude out of the insertion side 60 too much.
  • clamping means such as for example bumps protruding out from the surfaces (not shown in the figure).
  • Such clamping means have the following advantage.
  • the clamping means described will avoid that a loosely inserted coupler 500 can easily fall out prior to fixing the clamping screw 406, as it will firmly fix the coupler in the recess, by clamping force between the insulating cover 502 and the recess walls, even without the clamping screw 406 being fixed.
  • the distribution unit 1 has a first and a second support 5, 6 for the mounting strip 2 being disposed at a spacing from one another on the substructure 7. Located next to the first and second supports 5, 6, there are additional first and a second supports 5', 6', situated a small distance below the first and second supports 5, 6. The height above the mounting plate 7 of the first and second supports 5, 6 is larger than the height above the mounting plate 7 of the additional first and second supports 5', 6'. So the additional first and second supports 5', 6' allow for fixing the mounting strip 2 close to the mounting plate 7, and the first and second supports 5, 6 allow for mounting the mounting strip 2 at a certain distance above the mounting plate 7.
  • Figure 1 shows the situation where a first mounting strip 2' is fixed to the additional first and second supports 5', 6', a second mounting strip 2 is shown in a position before fixing to the supports, the arrows indicating the direction of insertion to the supports 5, 6.
  • the mounting strip 2 is being secured to the supports 5, 6, whereby for this purpose the mounting strip 2 has coupling parts 8, 9 being formed at its opposing narrow ends.
  • Each of the coupling parts 8, 9 have a latch that can be released by pressing it in direction towards the free end of the mounting strip 2 by a tool or by a finger. The latch biases into a retaining position.
  • the mounting strip 2 is formed as an elongated cube-shaped rod.
  • the rod has two rectangular broad long-edged plates 11, 12 which are connected by two rectangular narrow short-edged plates 13, 14.
  • the long edges of the broad long-edged plates 11, 12 and the narrow edges of the narrow short-edged plates 13, 14 define two narrow long-edged side sections 17, 18.
  • Each of the housings 4 and the mounting strip 2 have devices for the purpose of plugging the modules 3 to the mounting strip 2, transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting strip 2.
  • Said devices on the side of the mounting strip 2 are formed as projecting connection bars 20, oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting strip 2, arranged in parallel to each other, formed to the outside of one of its rectangular broad long-edged plates 11, 12.
  • Said devices on the side of the insulating housing are formed as at least one slot 21 (see fig. 2 ) oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting strip 2 and adapted for positive locking of the bar 2 into the slot 21 when plugging the module housing 4 to the mounting strip 2.
  • Each housing 4 has a mounting wall 45 and at least one receiving slot 21 in the mounting side 45.
  • the mounting wall 45 has an insertion edge 42 and the receiving slot 21 has an insertion opening 43 at the insertion edge 42, extending from the insertion edge 42 upwards towards a second edge 44 of the housing 4 located opposite the insertion edge 42.
  • the receiving slot 21 extends about half the way up from the insertion edge 42 to the second edge.
  • the insertion opening 43 is a little wider than the receiving slot 21, facilitating the pushing of the module housing 4 to the connection bars.
  • the mounting strip 2 has a number of connection bars 20 projecting from one of its two rectangular broad long-edged front plates 11 and oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting strip 2. So the receiving slot 21 and the connection bars 20 are forming the mutual connection devices.
  • the connection bar 20 has a T-shaped cross-section, with a first plate-like limb arising from the broad long-edged front plate 11, and with a second plate-like limb formed at the free end of and perpendicular to the first limb.
  • connection bars 20 are all oriented in parallel and transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mounting strip 2. They are arranged by being spaced apart in equal distances, forming a kind of raster. In figure 1 one sees a raster of sixteen connection bars 20, in figure 2 and 3a one sees a detail with six resp. seven of these connection bars 20.
  • the housing 4 of the module 3 in figures 2 and 3a has four receiving slots 21, all of said receiving slots 21 being arranged in a mutually spaced manner, spaced apart in the same equal distances as the connection bars 20. So the raster of the receiving slots 21 in the module housing 4 fits to the raster of the connection bars 20 at the mounting strip 2. This design allows for an exact positioning of the module housings 4, in a rastered, grid-like spacing along the longitudinal extension of the mounting strip 2.
  • connection bar 20 and the receiving slot 21 are adapted for a gliding cooperation when the connection bar 20 is inserted into the receiving slot 21 at the insertion opening 43.
  • connection bar 20 has an insertion end 480 and a distal end opposite the insertion end 480, see figures 2 and 3a .
  • the reference sign 480 is shown only once in the figures, but it is understood that the other connection bars can easily be identified in the figures, as their structure is the same as that marked with a reference sign, and for purposes of clarity of drawing only one out of a number of identical multiple structures was marked with a reference number.
  • the width of the cross-sectional contour of the connection bar 20 at the insertion end 480 is matched with cross-sectional contour of the receiving slot 21 for easy insertion, but the cross-sectional contour of the connection bar 20 at the distal end is larger than the width of the cross-sectional contour of the receiving slot 21 at the insertion opening 43, so that an insertion of the module 3 at the distal end of the connection bar 20 is prohibited and thus a false insertion of the module 3 is impeded.
  • the described widening of the contour is not shown in the figures, but it can easily be understood.
  • connection bar 20 For increasing the width of the cross-sectional contour of the connection bar 20 at the distal end there a numerous ways. One can increase the dimension of the cross-section of the first plate-like limb, or of the second plate-like limb, or of both. The increase of the width of the cross-sectional contour needs not to be large. In essence, it would be sufficient to increase to a small extent, only to such an extent that the distal end of the connection bar 20 still can be inserted into the insertion opening 43 mentioned above, but does not easily fit into the remaining portion of the receiving slot 21, or can only be pressed into it by applying a substantial force. So the operator would easily recognize the difference between insertion on the correct side of the connection bar, where insertion is smooth and an easy gliding of the receiving slot on the connection bar is felt, and insertion on the wrong side, where insertion is not smoothly possible.
  • Figures 3a and 3b show an embodiment where there is an alternative or additional means for fixing the module housing 4 to the mounting strip 2.
  • a resilient fixation arm 52 biases into a retaining position.
  • the resilient fixation arm 52 is formed in the mounting wall 45 of the module housing 4 by slot-like recesses 53, 54, 55.
  • the fixation arm has a latching or locking member 56, here in the form of a latching nose, protruding out of the mounting wall 45.
  • recesses 57 formed, see figure 1 and figure 4 .
  • the recesses 57 are rastered with the same raster as the connection bars 20 and the receiving slots 21, whereby each of the recesses 57 is located between two neighbouring connection bars 21, as also each resilient fixation arm 52 is located between two neighbouring insertion slots 21. It is not required to have as many resilient fixation arms 52 as recesses 57. It may be sufficient for small housings to have as little as one resilient fixation arm. In the embodiment of figure 3a there are only two resilient fixation arms 52, one to the left, one to the right, none in the centre. Each resilient fixation arm 52 is adapted for a resiliently latching engagement with a corresponding recess 57.
  • the free end of the resilient fixation arm 52 has a pushing member 58 at its end for pushing the end portion of the resilient fixation arm 52 towards the inside of the housing 4.
  • the latching member 56 can be released by pushing on the pushing member 58 and so pressing the fixation arm 52 towards the inside of the housing 4 for releasing the latching engagement.
  • Positioned near the latching member 56 there is at least one spacer 59 formed at the mounting wall 45 of the housing 4. The effect of the spacer 59 is to limit the displacement of the resilient arm 52 when pressing the mounting wall 45 of the housing 4 against a flat surface.
  • the pushing member 58 exceeds the upper surface of the mounting strip 2 when the module is fixed to the mounting strip 2. So the pushing member 58 is accessible for a manual pushing operation, by finger or by a tool, even when the housing 4 is fixed to the mounting strip 2. So it is possible to release an individual housing out of a combination of housings arranged in a row and fixed to a mounting strip, even from within the combination.

  • a second limb 81 of the arrester bar 51 extends in the open space between the support limb 48 and the clamping limb 49 of the clamping spring 41 to serve as a dead stop for the bending movement of the clamping limb 49 when releasing the conductor from the first limb 46 of the contact element 40.
  • a hook 83 is formed to the free edge of the first limb 80 of the arrester bar 51 for clamping the arrester bar 51 to the stack comprising the second profile section 145 of the contact element 40 and the support limb 48 of the contact spring 49.

  • An advantage of the design of the screwless clamping arrangement according to the invention is that the arrester bar 51 which serves as an overload protection for the clamping spring 41 ,can be inserted and clipped into the U-profiled contact element 40.
  • the latching tongue 68 as described in the context of figure 5 above, has a twofold function. It firstly fixes the clamping spring 41 to the second profile section 145 of the contact element 40, by latching into the latching recess 67.
  • the arrester bar 51 is fixed to the second profile section 145 through the hook 82. So the resilient force of the latching tongue 68 affects a clamping force onto the first limb 80 of the arrester bar 51. This force presses the hook 82 of the arrester bar 51 more firmly against the support limb 48, increasing friction between the support limb 48 and the arrester bar 51. This increases the fixation power for fixing the arrester bar 51 to the support limb 48.
  • the design concept of the connecting terminal according to the invention thus comprises the arrangement of three substantially U-shaped parts, namely the contact element 40, the clamping spring 41, the arrester bar 51, all three elements being nested into one another, and all three elements having the open side of the U-profile heading in the same direction, away from the insertion side 60, facing the mounting side 61.
