  • the locking portion may have an abutment for abutment against the Protective conductor rail have.
  • the base portion at least one contact projection has to rest against the protective conductor rail.
  • the invention provides that the busbar made of flat sheet metal is, in particular, punched.
  • the busbar of tinned Be punched copper sheet is just.
  • the protective conductor connection for engaging behind a cup-shaped in cross-section protective conductor rail is formed, which is a U-shaped Has central region and two outgoing flange edge regions thereof.
  • the busbar with at least one spring clamp element and / or provided with at least one ringklemmelement.
  • Two or more spring clamping elements and / or screw contacts are preferred for Connection of several conductors provided.
  • the terminal is designed as a terminal block is.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a flat sheet metal stamping 2, for the manufacture of a busbar 4 a designated as a whole with 6 Terminal serves.
  • this is an intermediate area 8 of the sheet metal stamping part 2 bent approximately S-shaped, so that originally in the sheet metal plane (plane of representation) lying terminal lugs 10 vertically to its original position and perpendicular to the plane of extension of the now formed Busbar 4 are.
  • the stamped sheet metal part 2 or the bus bar 4 made therefrom then have to the intermediate region 8 a central portion 12, on the one hand on the one hand a base portion 14 and on the other hand, two finger-like, resilient portions connect, namely a locking portion 16 and a locking portion 18th
  • All said areas of the busbar or sheet metal stamping part 2 are like mentioned by punching made of a flat sheet material.
  • FIG. 4 to 6 illustrate the terminal 6 according to the invention of the first embodiment, in which case the means for contacting the one to be connected Ladder are formed by ringklemmemia 22, which on the connecting lugs 10 are deferred.
  • Clamping screws 24 serve for a clamping holder of a inserted conductor (not shown) between a bottom wall 26 of a fferklemmelements 22 and a connecting strap 10th
  • the width b of the terminal 6, i. their Dimension in a direction of arrangement 30, relative to the chosen construction low and in this example is only about four times the plate thickness d of for producing the busbar 4 used sheet metal material.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show how the terminal 6 on a profiled protective conductor rail 32 is held.
  • the protective conductor rail 32 has a pot-shaped or substantially U-shaped, provided with angled, flange-like edge portions 34 Cross-sectional profile and agrees with its longitudinal direction with the aforementioned Arrangement 30 match or sets this.
  • the base portion 14 of the busbar 4 is located with two contact projections 20th (Fig. 1) in each case against one of the edge portions 34 at.
  • the locking section 18 has two parallel webs 36, the one end with the central portion 12th are connected and the other end a locking end 38 wear, the one of the Engages behind edge portions 34 and on which a plant projection 40 is formed, the side bears against the edge portion 34 and thereby the position of the terminal 6 defines transversely to the direction of assembly 30.
  • a contact projection 42 is formed on the locking end 38 to the surface pressure on the protective conductor rail 32 to enlarge and make a good contact.
  • the locking portion 16 in contrast to the locking portion 18 only a web 44, so that a free end portion 46 of the locking portion 16 is more resilient is as the locking end 38 of the locking portion 18.
  • a locking projection 48 the other edge portion 34 of the protective conductor rail 32 takes hold. So that as much contact force as possible in this area is achieved against the contact projection of the base portion 14, the Detent projection 48 an inclined locking surface 50, which in the latched Condition rests against the edge portion 34 and in cooperation with the spring force, which is achieved due to the formation of the locking portion 16, a reinforced Pressing the edge portion against the contact projection causes.
  • the inclination the oblique locking surface 50 is indicated in Fig. 3 with a dashed line 52.
  • a detecting portion 54 at the extreme end of the free end portion 46 of the locking portion 16 allows the attachment of a release tool, e.g. a screwdriver, to move the latching portion 16 elastically in the release direction 56, so that the locking projection 48 is released from the edge portion 34 and the terminal 6 can be removed from the protective conductor rail 32.
  • a touchdown slope 58 allows easy and tool-free placement or snapping the terminal 6 on the protective conductor rail 32.
  • the terminal 6 first on the side of the locking portion 18 on one of Edge portions 34 mounted, wherein the locking portion 18 with its locking end 38 engages under the edge portion and with the investment projection 40th is brought against this to the plant.
  • the terminal 6 to the Investment area (investment projection 40 and contact projection 42) pivoted until the Aufsetzschräge 58 with the opposite edge portion 34 in contact comes, and further, wherein the latching portion 16 is elastically opened until the Resting portion 16 springs back with the locking projection 48 and the locking surface 50th engages behind the edge portion 34. In this state, the terminal 6 is safe held on the protective conductor rail 32 until it by bending back of the locking portion 16 is solved.
  • the locking portion 18 and in particular its contact projection 42 is so formed such that its distance, perpendicular to one of the contact projections 20 of the Sokkelabsacrificings 14 connecting line, in the unloaded state is less than that Thickness of the edge portion 34, so that in the locked state of the locking portion 18 is resiliently biased and generates a desired contact force.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 show an alternative embodiment of a terminal according to the invention, which is indicated as a whole by 106 and with a flat busbar 104 and two spring clips 110 is provided.
  • the spring clamp elements 110 each have a spring leg 180 and a contact leg 182 on and are conductively connected to the busbar 104.
  • the contact legs 182 are conductive by rivet projections 184 formed on the bus bar 104 connected to this.
  • the terminal 106 has a latching portion 116 and a locking portion 118 which are similar to the first Embodiment are formed and in a corresponding manner the protective conductor rail 32, which is shown in Fig. 8, resiliently engage behind.
  • Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate another embodiment of a terminal according to the invention 206, in which also spring clamp elements 210 are provided.
  • the bus bar 204 of the third embodiment is not completely flat, but has two perpendicular to an extension plane of the busbar (representation level in Fig. 10) angled regions 270, formed by the contact surfaces 271 are the contacting of a between these and spring legs 280 serve the Federerklemmelements 210 inserted conductor.
  • the contact leg 182 of the second embodiment is thus here by the angled regions 270 replaced.
  • a curved surface 291 having a stop 290 is integrally together formed with the bus bar 204, whereby an enlargement of the Spring constant of the spring clamp element 210 results because the spring leg 280 with increasing deflection in the direction of the stop 290 increasingly the contact surface 291 applies, so that a shortening of the effective length of the Leg and thus a stronger spring action results.
