Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour mettre en contact un conducteur électrique (9), notamment un câble plat (1). Un tel dispositif est nécessaire par exemple dans le cas d'un système de barre omnibus dans lequel différents composants, par exemple des moteurs, des unités de commande etc., sont raccordés à un conducteur multifilaire assurant aussi bien une alimentation en tension qu'une fonction de commande. L'invention vise à assurer un contact fiable, approprié également pour des courants d'intensité élevée. A cet effet, le dispositif de mise en contact électrique présente un élément de contact (3) comportant, du côté orienté vers le conducteur, au moins deux lames de contact (8a, 8b, 8c). Ces dernières sont conçues pour pénétrer dans le conducteur (9) avec lequel le contact doit être établi, et sont décalées mutuellement par rapport à l'axe dudit conducteur (9) de sorte qu'un conducteur interne (12), avec lequel le contact doit être établi, du conducteur (9), est comprimé entre les lames de contact (8a, 8b, 8c).
