Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Sockets with socket-shaped contact elements for receiving pins of appliance connectors are known in electrical home installations and are used in the initial equipment as well as in the retrofit area. Often it is important to be able to functionally upgrade such electrical installation device. For this reason, it has proved to be advantageous to provide corresponding assemblies that can be mounted as needed in addition to the existing installation device.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide a contact element which enables a secure and easy to assemble contact of at least two elements. This problem is solved by the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments emerge from the subclaims.
  • the invention according to claim 1 has the advantage that a releasable contact for a device connector and a further assembly is provided, wherein mechanically and functionally independent contact points are formed in a one-piece contact region of a contact element.
  • the contact element consists of a connection region for the connection of supply lines and opposite from the one-piece contact region for at least two elements.
  • each pair of spring arm forms a socket for receiving a contact pin.
  • the Federarmcrue from the base parallel to each other and are separated by a slot.
  • the upper spring arms are bent backwards inwardly and form between them a socket for a contact pin.
  • the height of the spring arms rises on both sides up to the bending point and drops off to one side on the bushing.
  • the lower spring arms protrude in the longitudinal extension over the upper spring arms and are stepped in the longitudinal direction inwardly bent and occur immediately in front of the front-side terminating bush in abutment with each other.
  • the height of the spring arms is constant.
  • Conical designs of the socket facilitate the insertion.
  • the upper portion of the sleeve of the upper spring arm pair is not tied to the spring arms, so that the insertion of a contact pin is further facilitated.
  • the contact pin widens the socket initially only on top and then slides along a resulting Inclination with further expansion in the socket.
  • the twisting effect also acts, so that the contact pin or plug is "ejected" to the end, and when the pull-out force is applied, the bush is deformed a little elastically even before the limit for sliding friction is reached Force conditions within the socket and the plug can be solved more easily.

  • a particularly advantageous component arrangement enables the creation of a receiving space for an optional module within the existing structure of the device base.
  • the receiving space is form-fitting to the module body and thus space-saving. There is no need for extra space in front of or behind the base of the unit to place the module.
  • the module can be mounted on the front and flush-mounted in the device base. It is essential that for upgrading the installation device only the function-specific front element must be removed to use the module or to exchange.
