Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical connection system (7) for an electrical device, such as an electrical terminal block, said electrical connection system (7) comprising: a conductive bar (21) including an electrical contact region (45) arranged to cooperate with a conductive portion (13′) of an electrical conductor (13) in a connected position, and an engagement zone (35) arranged to engage with a portion (15′) of a support rail (15) in an engaged position; a leaf spring (23); and a retaining device (49) arranged to retain the support rail (15) in the engaged position, the conductive bar (21) consisting of a conductive strip.
Claims19
An electrical connection system for an electrical apparatus such as a junction block, the electrical connection system comprising:
- a conductive strip having an electrical contact location arranged to cooperate with a conductive portion of an electrical conductor in a connection position and a cooperation area arranged to cooperate with a portion of a support rail in a cooperation position,
- a clamping device arranged to hold the conductive portion in the connection position, comprising a leaf spring comprising a bearing branch arranged to be mounted to the conductive strip and a clamping branch arranged to hold the conductive portion in the connection position,
- a holding device arranged to hold the support rail in the cooperation position,
- the conductive strip is constituted by a conductive blade comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion facing the second portion,
- the conductive blade being constituted of a transformed planar blade with a U-like general shape, the conductive strip having a passage opening for the insertion of the conductive portion in the connection position.
