Definitions
- the invention relates to a Abgriffsteckverbinder with an insulating material and with contact elements for electrically conductive contacting of electrical conductors of a current-carrying profile, when the tapping connector is plugged onto the current-carrying profile.
- busbar assemblies with current-carrying profiles For distribution of electrical energy in buildings and for connecting lights at selectively selected positions, busbar assemblies with current-carrying profiles are known.
- the current-carrying profiles have, for example, a comb-like cross section with webs and grooves formed thereby and electrical conductors received in the slots.
- the electrical conductors are installed in the grooves and can be contacted by a tap connector with projecting into the grooves contact elements electrically conductive. With these contact elements connecting leads are then electrically connected, which are used either as a supply of electrical energy or as derivatives for wiring with a lamp.
- Such lights often have ballasts that are switched between the bulb and the tap connector.
- ballasts may be, for example, a suitable electronics for driving light emitting diodes as bulbs, of gas discharge tubes or the like. Ballasts may also have electronics for radio-controlled switching on / off and dimming of the luminaire.
- US 5,149,280 A discloses a connector which is formed of a conductor holding member made of plastic material, in which the electrical conductors inserted side by side and caulked by bending over. The stripped ends of the electrical conductors are then aligned so that they can be plugged into a corresponding connector.
- DE 10 2015 111 675 A1 shows a connector with an insulating material housing having conductor insertion openings for introducing electrical conductors. Arranged transversely to the conductor insertion opening is a tool receiving opening for deforming, with a tool inserted into the tool receiving opening, a portion of a stripped end of the electrical conductor inserted into the conductor insertion opening.
- an object of the present invention to provide an improved tapping connector, which allows a flexible but defined connection of the connecting leads to a ballast with the simplest possible structure and can be selectively aligned with regard to its position to the ballast and the current-carrying profile.
- the tapping connector has a conductor holder carrying a plurality of connecting leads in a position adapted for connection of the connecting leads to a ballast.
- the connection lines extend in a flying manner between in each case a contact element and a slot of the conductor holder. It is thus proposed that flexible connection lines are connected to the contact elements of the Abgriffsteckverbinders, which are selectively guided in the desired orientation to a common conductor holder.
- Flexible connecting cables are understood to be deformable cables with single-stranded or stranded conductors. The connection cables are then connected to the conductor holder in the order and orientation required for connection to the ballast.
- the orientation of the tapping connector to the conductor holder is optionally adaptable with the aid of the flexible connecting leads.
- the conductor holder may have a plurality of juxtaposed receiving openings for receiving a connecting line.
- the connecting lines are then inserted into a respective receiving opening and stand out with a stripped terminal end of the receiving opening.
- the conductor holder with the protruding stripped terminal ends can be plugged into a connector of a ballast.
- the leads may be supported in a row spaced apart by a conductor support.
- the conductor holder then has a plurality of side by side spaced receiving openings for each connection line.
- connection lines can also be arranged in the receiving openings which dig into the insulation of the connection lines and act as barbs.
- the leads in the receiving openings of the conductor holder can be fixed by means of gluing or the like.
- connection lines can also according to the disclosure of the aforementioned DE 10 2015 111 675 A1 be set in the ladder bracket.
- the carrier may for example be plate-shaped and thus provide a carrier platform.
- the carrier may be formed integrally with the insulating housing of the tapping connector. It is also conceivable that the carrier is a separate element to the insulating material. This has the advantage that the insulating housing is then optionally connectable in different relative positions and / or orientations with the carrier. Thus, the insulating material housing and thus the orientation of the tap connector can be arranged in this way with respect to a ballast in each rotated by 180 ° positions.
- the distance of the insulating housing to the conductor posture may possibly also be varied.
- the conductor posture may be fixedly mounted to or secured to the carrier.
- the conductor holder can thus not only be integrally connected to the carrier, for example. It is conceivable that the conductor holder can be detachably fastened to the end region of the carrier remote from the insulating housing, for example by latching. For this purpose, the carrier and the conductor holder have mutually adapted fastening contours.
- the tapping connector may have locking elements for locking onto the carrier profile, which also carries the ballast.
- the ballast carried by the carrier profile is then electrically connected by means of the connection lines with the Abgriffsteckverbinder by the tapped lines are sorted inserted by means of the conductor holders in a terminal connector of the ballast.
- the Abgriffsteckverbinder is attached as well as the ballast to the carrier profile in the required for connection to the busbar profile position and position, for example, snapped.
- the connecting lines can be guided from one of the conductor holder facing the front end side of the insulating material and from a conductor holder facing away from the rear end side of the insulating material to the conductor holder.
- connecting cables can thus be contacted on both sides of the front end side and the rear end side with the connecting lines, the contact elements of Abgriffsteckverbinders. These are then guided on the insulating housing laterally or below the insulating material by guide grooves for conductor holder.
- the conductor holder may have plug contacts, each of which is designed for the electrically conductive contacting of a connection plug of a ballast and for clamping a connecting line.
- the stripped connection lines are then not used directly for plug contact of the ballast.
- the conductor holder has plug contacts in the form of an intermediate connector having on one side conductor terminal contacts, for example in the form of a spring terminal for clamping the stripped end of a connecting line and at the diametrically opposite ends a plug contact area, for example in the form of a pin contact for the pin contacts of the ballast.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a Abgriffsteckverbinders 1, which has an insulating 2 with recorded in the insulating 2 contact elements 3.
- the insulating material has 2 web-like projections 4, which are adapted for immersion in grooves of a current-carrying profile (not shown) to contact with the protruding from the webs 4 contact elements 3 arranged in the grooves of the current-carrying profile electrical conductor, if the tapping connector 1 is plugged onto a current-carrying profile.
- connection lines 5 are each connected to the contact elements 3. These connection lines 5 are inserted into conductor insertion openings 6 of the insulating housing 2, at least lead to a contact element 3.
- the contact elements 3 can in this case have a plug contact connection, such as a spring clamp connection, in order to clamp the stripped end of a connecting line 5 to the contact element 3.
- a carrier 7 which is for example plate-shaped and forms a support platform.
- This carrier 7 may be formed integrally with the insulating 2, as shown in the FIG. 1 outlined.
- the carrier 7 is located in the region remote from the contact elements 3, ie at the end of the insulating housing 2, which lies opposite the tapping region with the webs 4 and the contact elements 3.
- the carrier 7 protrudes from a front end 8 of the insulating housing 2 from. It carries at its free end region a conductor holder 9.
- This conductor holder 9 has a number of juxtaposed in a row receiving openings 10, which are adapted to receive the Isolierstoffmantels each a connecting line 5.
- connection lines 5 From the conductor holder 9 then protrude the connection lines 5 with their stripped terminal ends 11 out. In this way, the stripped terminal ends 11 of the connecting lines 5 can be inserted through the conductor holder 9 in orderly orientation in accordance with aligned plugging direction in the ballast.
- the connecting lines 5 are led out of the insulating material housing 2 and then passed past each other so that they end in the required order in the common conductor holder 9. In this case, connecting lines 5 are guided both from the front end face 8, and from the rear end face 12 of the insulating material 2 to the conductor holder 9.
- the connecting lines 5, which are led out of the Isolierstoffgepuruse 2 at the rear end face 12 are guided in the illustrated embodiment by guide grooves 13 at the bottom of the insulating housing 2 on the Abgriffsteckverbinder 1 over to the conductor holder 9.
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of an arrangement of a Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 in a support section 14 in the connected to a ballast 15 state. It can be seen that the ballast has 15 connector 16 whose Porterein Resultss- or insertion opening are aligned to the Abgriffsteckverbinder 1 indicative.
- connection lines 5 are now electrically conductively connected to the ballast 15 in that the recorded in the conductor holder 9 connecting lines 5 are introduced with the conductor holder 9 in an orderly manner in the connection connector 16 of the ballast 15.
- the carrier 7 is moved together with the Isolierstoffgeophuse 2 of Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 and the conductor holder 9 to the ballast 15 out.
- the tap connector 1 and / or the carrier 7 is connected to the carrier profile 14. This can be done for example by locking. It is also conceivable, however, for the carrier 7 to be screwed or riveted to the carrier profile 14 or to be connected in a form-locking or force-locking manner in some other way.
- the carrier profile 14 has latching elements which are adapted to corresponding latching contours of the insulating housing 2 and / or the carrier 7 in order to lock the tap connector 1 to the carrier profile 14.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the arrangement FIG. 2 This is only once again clear that the conductor holder 9 is plugged into the connection connector 16 of the ballast 15 and the insulating 2 of the Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 is at a distance therefrom.
- the carrier 7 By the carrier 7, a predetermined distance between the conductor holder 9 and the insulating 2 of the Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 is specified.
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the arrangement Figures 2 and 3 , Here, the plug contours formed by the side by side spaced apart webs 4 of Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 for placement on a power guide profile clearly. It can be seen that in the webs 4, the contact elements 3 are installed, wherein the contact elements 3 protrude with contact tips of the webs 4. It can also be seen that the stripped terminal ends 11 of the connection lines 5 are inserted into the conductor insertion openings provided on the connection plug connectors 16 of the ballast 15 in order to be clamped with spring connection contacts in the interior of the connection plug 16.
- a ballast 15 for example, an electronics for controlling Be light emitting diode as a light source. It is conceivable that the electronics has radio switching elements to turn a light on and off and possibly dimming.
- FIG. 5 shows an exploded view of the Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 in not yet placed on the support section 14 state. It can be seen that the ballast 15 is installed in the carrier profile 14. The insulating housing 2 of the tap connector 1 connected to the carrier 7 is then pushed in one piece into the carrier profile 14 and in the direction of the ballast 15. In this case, the stripped connections are clamped to the connection plug connector 16 of the ballast 15 in the order predetermined by the conductor supports 9 of the connecting leads 5.
- the conductor holder 9 may be formed integrally with the carrier profile 7. It is also conceivable that the conductor holder 9 is a separate part, which is connectable to the carrier profile 7, for example by gluing or latching.
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective top view of the arrangement FIG. 2 and 3 , It is once again more clearly evident here that the flexible lines 5 are guided past one another as required and are rotated in such a way that they are received in the desired sequence at a distance next to each other from the conductor holder 9.
- the carrier 7 may also be formed as a separate part to the insulating housing 2 of the tapping connector 1.
- the insulating housing 2 can then be oriented with a variable distance to the conductor holder 9 and / or with optional alignment with the front end 8 to the conductor holder 9 or rotated by 180 ° with the rear end face 12 to the conductor holder 9 facing.
- the orientation of the contact elements 3 with respect to the conductor holder 9 and the ballast can be adjusted as needed.
- FIG. 7 shows a side view of the arrangement FIGS. 2 to 4 and 6
- the variant is outlined with arrows that the insulating 2 can be moved in the x direction on the support 7 or rotated by 180 ° on the support 7 can be placed.
- the plug positions can be predetermined step by step. It is also conceivable, however, for the carrier 7 to be adapted to the contour of the insulating housing 2 such that the relative position of the insulating housing 2 on the carrier 7 can be optionally fixed, for example by frictional engagement.
- FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of a Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 with flying conductor holder 9.
- the distance and the orientation of the conductor holder to Isolierstoffgeophuse 2 of Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 can be set even more flexible.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abgriffsteckverbinder mit einem Isolierstoffgehäuse und mit Kontaktelementen zur elektrisch leitenden Kontaktierung von elektrischen Leitern eines Stromführungsprofils, wenn der Abgriffsteckverbinder auf das Stromführungsprofil aufgesteckt ist.The invention relates to a Abgriffsteckverbinder with an insulating material and with contact elements for electrically conductive contacting of electrical conductors of a current-carrying profile, when the tapping connector is plugged onto the current-carrying profile.
Zur Verteilung von elektrischer Energie in Gebäuden und zum Anschließen von Leuchten an wahlweise ausgewählten Positionen sind Stromschienenanordnungen mit Stromführungsprofilen bekannt. Die Stromführungsprofile haben beispielsweise einen kammartigen Querschnitt mit Stegen und hierdurch gebildeten Nuten sowie in den Nuten aufgenommene elektrische Leiter. Bei solchen Stromführungsprofilen sind die elektrischen Leiter in die Nuten eingebaut und können von einem Abgriffsteckverbinder mit in die Nuten hineinragenden Kontaktelementen elektrisch leitend kontaktiert werden. Mit diesen Kontaktelementen sind dann Anschlussleitungen elektrisch leitend verbunden, die entweder als Zuleitung elektrischer Energie oder als Ableitungen zur Verdrahtung mit einer Leuchte genutzt werden. Solche Leuchten haben oftmals Vorschaltgeräte, die zwischen dem Leuchtmittel und dem Abgriffstecker geschaltet werden. Solche Vorschaltgeräte können beispielsweise eine geeignete Elektronik zum Ansteuern von Leuchtdioden als Leuchtmittel, von Gasentladungsröhren oder Ähnliches sein. Vorschaltgeräte können auch eine Elektronik zum funkgesteuerten Ein-/Ausschalten sowie Dimmen der Leuchte haben.For distribution of electrical energy in buildings and for connecting lights at selectively selected positions, busbar assemblies with current-carrying profiles are known. The current-carrying profiles have, for example, a comb-like cross section with webs and grooves formed thereby and electrical conductors received in the slots. In such current-carrying profiles, the electrical conductors are installed in the grooves and can be contacted by a tap connector with projecting into the grooves contact elements electrically conductive. With these contact elements connecting leads are then electrically connected, which are used either as a supply of electrical energy or as derivatives for wiring with a lamp. Such lights often have ballasts that are switched between the bulb and the tap connector. Such ballasts may be, for example, a suitable electronics for driving light emitting diodes as bulbs, of gas discharge tubes or the like. Ballasts may also have electronics for radio-controlled switching on / off and dimming of the luminaire.
Zur Steckkontaktierung von Anschlussleitungen sind Steckverbinder bekannt.For plug contacting of connecting cables plug connectors are known.
Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen verbesserten Abgriffsteckverbinder zu schaffen, der bei möglichst einfachem Aufbau einen möglichst flexiblen aber definierten Anschluss der Anschlussleitungen an ein Vorschaltgerät ermöglicht und dabei hinsichtlich seiner Lage zum Vorschaltgerät und dem Stromführungsprofil wahlweise ausgerichtet werden kann.Proceeding from this, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved tapping connector, which allows a flexible but defined connection of the connecting leads to a ballast with the simplest possible structure and can be selectively aligned with regard to its position to the ballast and the current-carrying profile.
Die Aufgabe wird mit dem Abgriffsteckverbinder mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved with the Abgriffsteckverbinder with the features of
Der Abgriffsteckverbinder hat eine Leiterhalterung, die mehrere Anschlussleitungen in einer zum Anschluss der Anschlussleitungen an ein Vorschaltgerät angepassten Lage trägt. Die Anschlussleitungen erstrecken sich fliegend zwischen jeweils einem Kontaktelement und einem Steckplatz der Leiterhalterung. Es wird somit vorgeschlagen, dass an die Kontaktelemente des Abgriffsteckverbinders flexible Anschlussleitungen angeschlossen werden, die in der gewünschten Ausrichtung wahlweise zu einer gemeinsamen Leiterhalterung geführt werden. Unter "flexiblen Anschlussleitungen" werden verformbare Leitungen mit ein- oder mehrdrähtigem Leiter verstanden. Die Anschlussleitungen sind dann in der zum Anschluss an das Vorschaltgerät benötigen Reihenfolge und Ausrichtung mit der Leiterhalterung verbunden. Die Ausrichtung des Abgriffsteckverbinders zur Leiterhalterung ist mit Hilfe der flexiblen Anschlussleitungen wahlweise anpassbar.The tapping connector has a conductor holder carrying a plurality of connecting leads in a position adapted for connection of the connecting leads to a ballast. The connection lines extend in a flying manner between in each case a contact element and a slot of the conductor holder. It is thus proposed that flexible connection lines are connected to the contact elements of the Abgriffsteckverbinders, which are selectively guided in the desired orientation to a common conductor holder. "Flexible connecting cables" are understood to be deformable cables with single-stranded or stranded conductors. The connection cables are then connected to the conductor holder in the order and orientation required for connection to the ballast. The orientation of the tapping connector to the conductor holder is optionally adaptable with the aid of the flexible connecting leads.
Die Leiterhalterung kann mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Aufnahmeöffnungen zur Aufnahme einer Anschlussleitung haben. Die Anschlussleitungen sind dann jeweils in eine Aufnahmeöffnung hineingesteckt und stehen mit einem abisolierten Anschlussende aus der Aufnahmeöffnung heraus. Damit kann die Leiterhalterung mit den abragenden abisolierten Anschlussenden in einen Anschlusssteckverbinder eines Vorschaltgerätes eingesteckt werden.The conductor holder may have a plurality of juxtaposed receiving openings for receiving a connecting line. The connecting lines are then inserted into a respective receiving opening and stand out with a stripped terminal end of the receiving opening. Thus, the conductor holder with the protruding stripped terminal ends can be plugged into a connector of a ballast.
Die Anschlussleitungen können in einer Reihe beabstandet nebeneinander durch eine Leiterhalterung getragen sein. Insofern hat die Leiterhalterung dann mehrere nebeneinander im Abstand angeordnete Aufnahmeöffnungen für jeweils eine Anschlussleitung.The leads may be supported in a row spaced apart by a conductor support. In this respect, the conductor holder then has a plurality of side by side spaced receiving openings for each connection line.
Es kann nicht nur eine Reihe von solchen jeweils beabstandet nebeneinander an der Leiterhalterung vorgesehenen Aufnahmeöffnungen vorhanden sein. Denkbar ist auch, dass mindestens zwei Reihen von solchen jeweils beabstandet nebeneinander an der Leiterhalterung getragenen Anschlussleitungen vorhanden sind. Damit können mehrere Anschlussleitungen mit verringertem Platzbedarf in Richtung der Breite, d. h. in Richtung der Länge der Leiterhalterung angeschlossen werden. Die Anschlussleitungen werden dann vorzugsweise klemmend in den Aufnahmeöffnungen gehalten und sind mittels Reibschluss gegen Herausziehen zumindest bis zu einem gewissen Grenzmaß gesichert. Ferner können in den Aufnahmeöffnungen auch Rasthaken angeordnet sein, welche sich in die Isolierung der Anschlussleitungen eingraben und als Widerhaken wirken. Alternativ können die Anschlussleitungen in den Aufnahmeöffnungen der Leiterhalterung mittels Kleben oder dergleichen festgelegt werden. Weiterhin können die Anschlussleitungen auch entsprechend der Offenbarung der eingangs genannten
Von dem Isolierstoffgehäuse kann ein Träger abragen, der zum Tragen der Leiterhalterung ausgebildet ist. Der Träger kann beispielsweise plattenförmig sein und damit eine Trägerplattform bereitstellen. Der Träger kann einstückig mit dem Isolierstoffgehäuse des Abgriffsteckverbinders ausgebildet sein. Denkbar ist aber auch, dass der Träger ein separates Element zu dem Isolierstoffgehäuse ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Isolierstoffgehäuse dann wahlweise in unterschiedlichen Relativpositionen und/oder Ausrichtungen mit dem Träger verbindbar ist. So kann das Isolierstoffgehäuse und damit die Ausrichtung des Abgriffsteckverbinders auf diese Weise in Bezug auf ein Vorschaltgerät in jeweils um 180° gedrehten Positionen angeordnet werden. Bei geeigneter Ausbildung der Befestigungselemente für das Isolierstoffgehäuse an dem Träger kann ggf. auch der Abstand des Isolierstoffgehäuses zu der Leiterhaltung variiert werden. Die Leiterhaltung kann an dem Träger fest angeordnet oder daran befestigt sein.From the Isolierstoffgehäuse may protrude a carrier, which is designed to support the conductor holder. The carrier may for example be plate-shaped and thus provide a carrier platform. The carrier may be formed integrally with the insulating housing of the tapping connector. It is also conceivable that the carrier is a separate element to the insulating material. This has the advantage that the insulating housing is then optionally connectable in different relative positions and / or orientations with the carrier. Thus, the insulating material housing and thus the orientation of the tap connector can be arranged in this way with respect to a ballast in each rotated by 180 ° positions. With a suitable design of the fastening elements for the insulating material housing on the carrier, the distance of the insulating housing to the conductor posture may possibly also be varied. The conductor posture may be fixedly mounted to or secured to the carrier.
Die Leiterhalterung kann somit nicht nur beispielsweise einstückig mit dem Träger verbunden sein. Denkbar ist, dass die Leiterhalterung auf den von dem Isolierstoffgehäuse entfernten Endbereich des Trägers lösbar bspw. durch Aufrasten befestigbar ist. Hierzu haben der Träger und die Leiterhalterung aneinander angepasste Befestigungskonturen.The conductor holder can thus not only be integrally connected to the carrier, for example. It is conceivable that the conductor holder can be detachably fastened to the end region of the carrier remote from the insulating housing, for example by latching. For this purpose, the carrier and the conductor holder have mutually adapted fastening contours.
Der Abgriffsteckverbinder kann Rastelemente zum Aufrasten auf das Trägerprofil haben, das auch das Vorschaltgerät trägt. Das von dem Trägerprofil getragene Vorschaltgerät wird dann mit Hilfe der Anschlussleitungen elektrisch leitend mit dem Abgriffsteckverbinder verbunden, indem die Abgriffleitungen geordnet mit Hilfe der Leiterhalterungen in einen Anschlusssteckverbinder des Vorschaltgerätes gesteckt werden. Hierbei wird der Abgriffsteckverbinder ebenso wie das Vorschaltgerät an dem Trägerprofil in der für den Anschluss an das Stromschienenprofil benötigten Position und Lage befestigt, beispielsweise aufgerastet.The tapping connector may have locking elements for locking onto the carrier profile, which also carries the ballast. The ballast carried by the carrier profile is then electrically connected by means of the connection lines with the Abgriffsteckverbinder by the tapped lines are sorted inserted by means of the conductor holders in a terminal connector of the ballast. Here, the Abgriffsteckverbinder is attached as well as the ballast to the carrier profile in the required for connection to the busbar profile position and position, for example, snapped.
Die Anschlussleitungen können von einer der Leiterhalterung zugewandten vorderen Stirnseite des Isolierstoffgehäuses und von einer der Leiterhalterung abgewandten hinteren Stirnseite des Isolierstoffgehäuses zu der Leiterhalterung geführt sein. Durch die Nutzung der flexiblen, d. h. verformbaren, starren oder mehrdrähtigen Leiter, Anschlussleitungen können somit die Kontaktelemente des Abgriffsteckverbinders beidseits von der vorderen Stirnseite und der hinteren Stirnseite mit den Anschlussleitungen kontaktiert werden. Diese werden dann an dem Isolierstoffgehäuse seitlich oder unterhalb des Isolierstoffgehäuses durch Führungsnuten zur Leiterhalterung geführt.The connecting lines can be guided from one of the conductor holder facing the front end side of the insulating material and from a conductor holder facing away from the rear end side of the insulating material to the conductor holder. By using the flexible, ie deformable, rigid or stranded conductor, connecting cables can thus be contacted on both sides of the front end side and the rear end side with the connecting lines, the contact elements of Abgriffsteckverbinders. These are then guided on the insulating housing laterally or below the insulating material by guide grooves for conductor holder.
Die Leiterhalterung kann Steckkontakte haben, die jeweils zur elektrisch leitenden Kontaktierung eines Anschlusssteckers eines Vorschaltgerätes und zum Anklemmen einer Anschlussleitung ausgebildet sind. Bei dieser Ausführungsform werden dann nicht die abisolierten Anschlussleitungen direkt zur Steckkontaktierung des Vorschaltgerätes genutzt. Vielmehr hat die Leiterhalterung Steckkontakte in Form eines Zwischensteckverbinders, der auf einer Seite Leiteranschlusskontakte beispielsweise in Form eines Federklemmkontakts zum Anklemmen des abisolierten Endes einer Anschlussleitung und an den diametral einander gegenüberliegenden Enden einen Steckkontaktbereich beispielsweise in Form eines Stiftkontaktes für die Stiftkontakte des Vorschaltgerätes aufweist.The conductor holder may have plug contacts, each of which is designed for the electrically conductive contacting of a connection plug of a ballast and for clamping a connecting line. In this embodiment, the stripped connection lines are then not used directly for plug contact of the ballast. Rather, the conductor holder has plug contacts in the form of an intermediate connector having on one side conductor terminal contacts, for example in the form of a spring terminal for clamping the stripped end of a connecting line and at the diametrically opposite ends a plug contact area, for example in the form of a pin contact for the pin contacts of the ballast.

Um nun eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung des Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 mit einem Vorschaltgerät (nicht dargestellt) herzustellen, sind flexible Anschlussleitungen 5 jeweils mit den Kontaktelementen 3 verbunden. Diese Anschlussleitungen 5 sind in Leitereinführungsöffnungen 6 des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2 eingesteckt, die zumindest an ein Kontaktelement 3 führen. Die Kontaktelemente 3 können hierbei einen Steckkontaktanschluss, wie beispielsweise einen Federklemmanschluss haben, um das abisolierte Ende einer Anschlussleitung 5 an das Kontaktelement 3 anzuklemmen.In order to produce an electrically conductive connection of the tapping
Von dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 ragt ein Träger 7 ab, der beispielsweise plattenförmig ist und eine Trägerplattform bildet. Dieser Träger 7 kann einstückig mit dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 ausgeformt sein, wie dies in der
Die Anschlussleitungen 5 werden nun dadurch mit dem Vorschaltgerät 15 elektrisch leitend verbunden, dass die in der Leiterhalterung 9 aufgenommenen Anschlussleitungen 5 mit der Leiterhalterung 9 in geordneter Weise in die Anschlusssteckverbinder 16 des Vorschaltgerätes 15 eingeführt werden. Dies erfolgt, indem der Träger 7 zusammen mit dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 des Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 und der Leiterhalterung 9 zum Vorschaltgerät 15 hin bewegt wird. Anschließend wird der Abgriffsteckverbinder 1 und/oder der Träger 7 mit dem Trägerprofil 14 verbunden. Dies kann beispielsweise durch Verrasten erfolgen. Denkbar ist aber auch, dass der Träger 7 mit dem Trägerprofil 14 verschraubt oder vernietet oder auf sonstige Weise form- oder kraftschlüssig verbunden wird. Bevorzugt hat das Trägerprofil 14 Rastelemente, die an korrespondierende Rastkonturen des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2 und/oder des Trägers 7 angepasst sind, um den Abgriffsteckverbinder 1 mit dem Trägerprofil 14 zu verrasten.The connection lines 5 are now electrically conductively connected to the
Der Träger 7 kann aber auch als separates Teil zum Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 des Abgriffsteckverbinders 1 ausgebildet sein. Das Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 kann dann mit einem variierbaren Abstand zur Leiterhalterung 9 und/oder mit wahlweiser Ausrichtung mit der vorderen Stirnseite 8 zur Leiterhalterung 9 hinweisen oder um 180° gedreht mit der hinteren Stirnseite 12 zur Leiterhalterung 9 weisend angeordnet sein. Damit kann die Ausrichtung der Kontaktelemente 3 in Bezug auf die Leiterhalterung 9 und das Vorschaltgerät nach Bedarf angepasst werden.However, the
