Connecting element

A connection element for establishing an electrical contact between two busbars, wherein the connection element comprises:

• a housing with an interior;
• and
• a contact element, which is mounted in the interior,
• wherein each of the two busbars can be inserted into the housing along an inserting direction,
• wherein the contact element divides the interior along a plane into at least one first receiving space to receive a first busbar and a second receiving space to receive a second busbar,
• wherein the contact element can establish an electrical contact between the first busbar and the second busbar,
• wherein the contact element is mounted by several bearing points in the interior of the housing,
• wherein at least one of the bearing points protrudes from a side wall into the interior, the side wall lying in a transverse plane oriented transversely to the plane, and the bearing point for the contact element providing a movement limitation in at least one translatory direction;
• wherein one of said bearing points is a double bearing point, which starting from a middle position of the contact element provides a movement limitation for the contact element in two oppositely running translatory directions;
• wherein one of the mentioned bearing points is a single bearing point, which starting from a middle position of the contact element provides a movement limitation for the contact element in one translatory direction;
• wherein the double bearing point has a slot to receive the contact element;
• and
• wherein the slot in one direction at right angles to said plane is configured broader than the thickness of the contact element, such that a play is provided between the slot and the contact element.
