Claims16
A test plug block for plugging onto a series terminal block, comprising:
- a plurality of test plugs that are connected to one another and
- two fastening parts each of which is arranged on a respective side of the plurality of test plugs, the fastening parts being connected to one another via a grip piece,
- wherein each of the fastening parts has a housing and an insertion section, which is insertable into a receiving section formed in a clamp housing of a fastening clamp of the series terminal block,
- wherein a locking element is arranged in the insertion section of at least one of the fastening parts,
- wherein the locking element is movable from a basic position into an unlocking position by turning of the grip piece,
- wherein the locking element has a first connecting element in the form of a locking hook or a locking projection, wherein the first connecting element together with a corresponding second connecting element in the form of a locking projection or a locking hook in the clamp housing of the at least one fastening clamp determines a first locking position,
- wherein the locking element has at least one stop surface which, together with an opposing stop surface in the clamp housing of the at least one fastening clamp, prevents the test plug block from being pulled out in the unlocking position of the locking element.
A test terminal block, comprising:
- a series terminal block and
- a test plug block that can be plugged onto the series terminal block,
- wherein the series terminal block has a plurality of series terminals that are arranged one next to the other with a respective fastening clamp on each side of the plurality of series terminals,
- wherein the test plug block has a plurality of test plugs that are connected to one another with a respective fastening part on each side of the plurality of test plugs, wherein the fastening parts are connected to one another via a grip piece, wherein each of the fastening parts has a housing and an insertion section which can be inserted into a receiving section,
- wherein the receiving section is formed in a clamp housing of a fastening clamp of the series terminal block,
- wherein a locking element is arranged in the insertion section of at least one fastening part,
- wherein the locking element is movable from a basic position into an unlocking position by turning the grip piece,
- wherein the locking element has a first connecting element in the form of a locking hook or a locking projection,
- wherein a corresponding second connecting element in the form of a locking projection or a locking hook is arranged in the clamp housing of the at least one fastening clamp,
- wherein the first connecting element together with the corresponding second connecting element determines a first locking position,
- wherein the locking element has at least one stop surface, wherein the clamp housing of the fastening clamp has an opposing stop surface, and wherein the stop surface together with the opposing stop surface prevents the test plug block from being pulled out in the unlocking position.
