Abstract
In a connection unit for an electrical device, an electrical device system, and a production method, the connection unit has an electrically insulating receiving part, which includes a first receiving section, a second receiving section, and at least one electrically conductive connection device, in particular a bus bar. The receiving part is arranged to accommodate connection device(s) with the aid of the first and second receiving sections. A connection device is accommodated in the first receiving section, and, for example, no connection devices are accommodated in the second receiving section.
Claims23
A connection unit for an electrical device, comprising:
- an electrically insulating receiving part including at least one first receiving section, at least one second receiving section, and at least one electrically conductive connection device, the receiving part adapted to accommodate a connection device with the aid of the first and second receiving sections;
- wherein a connection device is accommodated in the first receiving section, and no connection device is accommodated in the second receiving section.
A method for producing two variants of a connection unit for electrical devices from a modular set that includes a receiving part, a cover part having two recesses, two bus bars, an insulating device, and at least one lug part, the receiving part having a first receiving section and a second receiving section for lug parts, and receiving sections for the bus bars, for production of a first variant of the connection unit, the method including:
- (a) placing the insulating device between the bus bars so that the bus bars are electrically insulated from one another and a preassembled unit is formed from the bus bars and the insulating device;
- (b) inserting the preassembled unit into the cover part and guiding a respective lug section of a bus bar of the unit through a respective recess;
- (c) reversibly connecting and/or screw-connecting with the aid of a screw part the cover part to the receiving part;
- and
- (d) inserting the lug part into the first receiving section and connecting the lug part to the receiving part in a force-locking manner, a form-locking manner, and/or a screw-connected manner with the aid of a screw part;
- and
- for production of a second variant of the connection unit, the method including, in addition to steps (a) to (d), inserting a further lug part into the second receiving section and connecting the further lug part to the receiving part in a force-locking manner, a form-locking manner, and/or a screw-connected manner with the aid of a screw part.
