Abstract

Ein Kontaktierungselement (40, 50, 60) zum elektrischen und mechanischen Anschließen einer Leuchte oder einer elektrischen Einheit an eine Tragschiene (10), weist zwei Kontaktblöcke (41, 42, 51, 52, 61, 62) mit in entgegengesetzte Richtungen weisenden Anschlusskontakten (43, 53, 63) auf, wobei beide Kontaktblöcke (41, 42, 51, 52, 61, 62) derart gekoppelt sind, dass sie ausgehend von einer Offenposition sich voneinander entfernend in einer Kontaktierungsposition überführt werden können. Die beiden Kontaktblöcke (61, 62) sind in die Kontaktierungsposition vorgespannt gelagert, wobei an dem Kontaktierungselement (60) Drück- bzw. Betätigungselemente (71, 72) angeordnet sind, welche ein manuelles Zusammendrücken der Kontaktblöcke (61, 62) in die Offenposition ermöglichen.A contacting element (40, 50, 60) for electrically and mechanically connecting a lamp or an electrical unit to a mounting rail (10), has two contact blocks (41, 42, 51, 52, 61, 62) with connection contacts pointing in opposite directions ( 43, 53, 63), both contact blocks (41, 42, 51, 52, 61, 62) being coupled in such a way that, starting from an open position, they can be moved away from one another into a contacting position. The two contact blocks (61, 62) are mounted biased into the contacting position, with pressing or actuating elements (71, 72) being arranged on the contacting element (60), which enable the contact blocks (61, 62) to be manually pressed together into the open position .
