  • connection devices 2 each have a clamping spring arrangement 4 and a rotary lever arrangement 5 .
  • they each have a busbar section 6 against which the respective conductor end can be pressed or can be pressed by means of the clamping spring arrangement.
  • the clamping spring arrangement 4 acts in the manner of a compression spring.
  • the busbar sections 6 are designed in one piece with one another, so that the two connecting devices 2 are conductively connected by a busbar that is in one piece here. In this way, a feed-through terminal is realized without an electrical functional module between the two connection devices. It would also be conceivable for the two busbar sections 6 to be in the form of separate busbars which are conductively connected to one another directly or via at least one electrical or electronic component.

  • the clamping spring arrangement 4 finally assumes a fixed position in the contact position and presses the conductor end 3 against the respective busbar section 6 made of electrically highly conductive material, so that at least one contact point is formed through which an electric current can flow.
  • the clamping spring arrangement 4 consists of one or more clamping springs 41, 42 (see also Figure 2a and 3a ), which are designed as leaf springs. To Fig.1 two leaf springs are provided which serve to generate a sufficient contact force. These leaf springs each have at least one clamping leg 410, 420 and at least one actuating leg 411, 421. The at least one clamping leg 410, 420 and the at least one actuating leg 411, 421 are oriented at an angle to one another, preferably at an acute angle of between 5° and 85°.

  • the spring carrier 45 can also be pivotably arranged in the housing. It can then even—if the actuating arm is arranged on it in a rotationally fixed manner—take over the function of this actuating arm 410 in whole or in part. This feature shows 3 . It then forms part of the clamping spring arrangement 4 within the meaning of the claims can also be preassembled on the busbar, preferably in slots 62 of the busbar sections 6.
  • the clamping springs 41, 42 of the leaf spring arrangement are preferably arranged one inside the other in a "stack-like" manner. This means that their bending areas 412, 422 lie within one another and have exactly or essentially the same axis of rotation D1 or D1'.
  • the support contour has a rounded pin section 451 about which the clamping springs 41, 42 can rotate in their bending areas 411, 412.

  • the actuating legs 411, 421 and/or the clamping legs 410, 420 of the leaf springs 41, 42 are preferably of different lengths. If the actuating legs 411, 421 are of different lengths, this makes it possible to easily contact conductor ends 3 of different diameters at positions that are well suited for this purpose. It is also conceivable to contact a single conductor end 3 with two or more leaf springs at different points.
  • the clamping spring arrangement 4 is preferably aligned in such a way that the bending region 412, 422 is closest to the respective conductor insertion opening 17, so that the clamping leg 410, 420 extends away from the conductor insertion opening 17, starting from the bending region 412, 422.
  • the respective clamping leg 410, 420 and the respective actuating leg 411, 421 are therefore preferably at an acute angle to the conductor insertion direction (X-direction).

  • the respective rotary lever arrangement 5 is also arranged, which has an axis of rotation D2.
  • the Axis of rotation D2 lies in the Z-direction above axis of rotation D1 of the clamping spring arrangement.
  • the busbar arrangement 6 is arranged at the bottom for each connection device 2 and is directed with its open side of the V-shaped or U-shaped cross section towards the respective clamping spring arrangement 4, so that the clamping leg or legs 410 , 420 can be pivoted into the conductor rail arrangement.
  • the axis of rotation D2 of the rotary lever arrangement 5 is formed and arranged above the clamping spring arrangement 4 .
  • the directions of rotation DR of the rotary lever arrangement 5 and DR of the clamping spring arrangement 4 are in the same direction or in the same direction. This is how they turn at the in 1 left connection device for contacting clockwise and at the in 1 right connection device 2 each for contacting counterclockwise. To release, they are each turned in the opposite direction. This advantageous functionality is explained in more detail below.
  • the clamping spring arrangement 4 can be moved from an open position ( Fig. 1a ) (over several intermediate steps of the Figures 1b to 1d , Figures 2a to 2e , Figure 3a to 3e) up to a contact position ( Fig. 1e , 2e , 3d ) can be pivoted.

  • the rotary lever element 50 has an actuating section 501 which is preferably accessible from outside the housing 1, in particular at an opening 16 on the upper side 12 of the housing 1.
  • the actuation section 501 can be designed, for example, as a projection that protrudes radially from the central section 500 or as an opening in the region 500 that allows a tool, in particular a screwdriver or the like, to be attached. He can too in and/or against the direction of rotation in conjunction with an opening 16 in the housing from which it protrudes, serve as a stop for limiting the angle of rotation (see each Figure 2a ).
  • the rotary lever element 50 also has an eccentric section 502 .
  • the eccentric section 502 is designed here as a kind of arm, which extends eccentrically, here essentially tangentially, to the central section 500 radially outwards.
  • the eccentric section 502 On its side facing the clamping spring arrangement 4, the eccentric section 502 has a type of cam 503, on which the actuating leg or legs 411, 412 of the clamping springs 41, 42 can be brought into contact.
  • the eccentric section 502 can engage with a projection or a pin 504 or the like inserted in it into a link, in particular an arcuate link 18, of the housing 1, which ensures a particularly reliable and uniform opening movement.
  • the eccentric section 502 can bear against the actuating legs 411 in the fully opened state. However, this is not absolutely necessary ( Figure 2a ). Rather, it is also conceivable - as in Fig. 1a shown - that it is somewhat spaced apart from the clamping spring arrangement 4 in the fully open position.
  • the clamping spring arrangement 4 can - for example with an auxiliary spring (not shown here) - in the open position of the 2 be held or moved into with the conductor end 3 when the rotary lever assembly 5 is rotated to its open position in which the eccentric portion 502 is rotated upwards (away from the busbar portion 6).
  • the entire clamping spring arrangement 4 is rotated in a direction of rotation DR which is the same as the direction of rotation DR. This presses the clamping leg(s) 410 more and more radially against the conductor end 3 and presses it against the associated busbar section 6.
  • In 1 is the final contact position in Fig.1f achieved.
  • the actuating leg 411, 421 and/or the rotary lever arrangement 5 can also be fixed in a positive and/or non-positive manner, for example on the conductor rail section 6 or on another element, so that a particularly stable end contact position is achieved, which can also be achieved under higher Stresses not resolved.
  • the actuating leg or legs 411, 421 can be cranked at their free ends in order to ensure good sliding of the control cam on the actuating leg or legs 411, 421.
  • the clamping leg or legs 410, 420 press on the end of the conductor ( Fig. 1d , e ) until preferably the clamping spring arrangement 4 and/or the rotary lever arrangement 5 is/are fixed to an abutment in a positive and/or non-positive manner.
  • a latching means for example the already mentioned pin 504, to be formed on the eccentric section 502, which can be moved in the connecting link 18 into a fixing position.
  • This fixing position is particularly preferably formed in the conductor rail.
  • link 60 can have a constriction 61 or an over-center position in the respective conductor rail section, in which position the pin 504 is securely fixed, in particular latched, when it reaches the final contact position. This is particularly good in 1g to recognize.
  • the link 18 is aligned with the link 60. To release the end contact position, it is only necessary to rotate the rotary lever arrangement 5 to move the pin out of the latched position behind the constriction 61 of the link 60 in the busbar.
  • the end contact position is permanently and securely fixed to the metal busbar 6 and not in the plastic housing 1 .
  • the attachment of a pin 504 to the eccentric section and the formation of the locking position in the connecting link 60 of the busbar section 6 offers a particularly simple variant for realizing a fixation of the spring arrangement in the final contact position. which also results in easy and smooth operability when making the contact position and when releasing the same. It is also particularly advantageous that no locking hook or the like on the spring arrangement has to be released from a locking position in order to release it from the end contact position.
  • the spring carrier 45 is pivotably arranged in the housing 1 . It then takes over the function of this actuating leg 411 in whole or in part, since the actuating leg is arranged on it in a rotationally fixed manner here.
