Definitions
- the invention relates to a rail socket for connecting a module device to a conductor member, the rail socket comprising a conductor receptacle adapted to receive the conductor member.
- Rail sockets are known from the art and are in general used to connect electronic devices, such as module devices, to a conductor rail. Rail sockets are used, e.g. to connect electronic devices electrically and/or mechanically to either provide the electronic device with electric energy via the conductor rail or to apply the conductor rail as a drain channel for electric excess energy.
- the latter application is for instance used in surge protection devices, which protect electric circuits from over voltage or over current, which may damage the device.
- the surge protection device which acts as an electric connection member between the electric power source and the electric device, prevents the voltage or current peak to be transmitted to the electric device and redirects the voltage or current peak to an appropriate grounding member.
- a conductor rail is used as a grounding member.
- DIN rails are used as grounding member.
- Standardized rails allow high flexibility and exchangeability of the components used.
- the conductor rail may comprise ridges, dents and may be distorted in one or more directions.
- a rail socket is to be understood as an intermediate element between a conductor member and a module device, whereas the connection between the rail socket and the module device may be electric or mechanic or, in a preferred embodiment, electric and mechanic.
- a conductor member may be any structure suitable to be connected to the inventive rail socket, whereas the conductor member is preferentially embodied as a conductor rail, more preferably embodied as a DIN conductor rail. Therefore, the cross-section of the conductor rail may be square, triangular, hat-shaped (EN 50022), G-Shaped or the like.
- the main advantages of a DIN conductor rail are a standardized size, shape and tolerances, which allow a high versatility and exchangeability of the components used.
- the conductor receptacle is to be understood as an opening in the cubage of the rail socket into which a conductor element may be inserted.
- the conductor receptacle is to be further understood as a volume which may be surrounded only partially by surfaces and/or walls of the rail socket.
- the conductor receptacle may be located adjacent to the receptacle opening and/or adjacent to hollow spaces of the rail socket, which are located in between wall sections of the rail socket.
- Such a flat spring with lamellas has the advantage that locally adjacent dents and/or ridges, which may not be compensated for by the afore-mentioned flat spring, may be compensated by the individual lamellas.
- the lamellas of the flat spring may be connected to each other at both ends of the lamellas or may be connected only at one end of the lamellas.
- the lamellas may be embodied over substantially the entire length of the flat spring or may be embodied only in the region of the flat spring which extends into the conductor receptacle.
- the lamellas may be embodied similar to each other or may be different in length and/or width and/or thickness.
- the lamella may comprise a surface treatment, such as for instance a surface modification (roughening) or a metal plating (using for instance gold, nickel, tin, silver or the like) in the region which extends into the conductor receptacle, but may also be modified by methods like isolation, galvanization or coverage of regions which do not extend into the conductor receptacle.
- a surface treatment such as for instance a surface modification (roughening) or a metal plating (using for instance gold, nickel, tin, silver or the like) in the region which extends into the conductor receptacle, but may also be modified by methods like isolation, galvanization or coverage of regions which do not extend into the conductor receptacle.
- the at least one connection opening may be embodied as a through hole and the connection member may be embodied with a length exceeding a wall thickness of the rail socket, such that the connection member extends through the at least one connection opening into the inner volume of the rail socket.
