Abstract
An electrical switching device includes a connection section for fastening and contacting an electrical conductor. The connection section has a fastening element for fastening the electrical conductor, a current-carrying element spaced apart from the fastening element and including a contact point, and an electrically conductive contacting element extending from the fastening element to the contact point of the current-carrying element and into an inner section of the electrical switching device.
Claims17
An electrical switching device, comprising:
- a connection section for fastening and contacting an electrical conductor, including:
- a fastening element for fastening the electrical conductor, wherein the fastening element includes an insertion opening for receiving the electrical conductor;
- a current-carrying element spaced apart from the fastening element and extending into an inner section of the electrical switching device and including a contact point;
- and
- an electrically conductive contacting element extending from the fastening element to the contact point of the current-carrying element, wherein the contacting element includes an opening aligned with the insertion opening,
- wherein a fixation element of the electrical conductor is inserted through a bore of the contacting element and extends into the insertion opening of the fastening element, and the insertion opening, current carrying element, and contact point are axially aligned.
