Abstract
A connection unit for connecting at least one connection element includes: a housing; a first contact element; a second contact element arranged on an opposite side to the first contact element, at least one receiving space being formed between the first contact element and the second contact element for clamping the at least one connection element between the first contact element and the second contact element; and at least one finger guard element which covers at least some regions of the first contact element and the second contact element in a region of the at least one receiving space. The first contact element, the second contact element, and the finger guard element are borne in the housing in a floating manner.
Claims15
A connection unit for connecting at least one connection element, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first contact element;
- a second contact element arranged on an opposite side to the first contact element, at least one receiving space being formed between the first contact element and the second contact element for clamping the at least one connection element between the first contact element and the second contact element;
- and
- at least one finger guard element which covers at least some regions of the first contact element and the second contact element in a region of the at least one receiving space,
- wherein the first contact element, the second contact element, and the finger guard element are borne in the housing in a floating manner, and
- wherein the first contact element and the second contact element are joined together by two spring elements which are arranged at a distance from one another on the two contact elements, a first spring element being attached to a first end region of the two contact elements and a second spring element being fastened to a second end region of the two contact elements, the two spring elements each comprising a U-shape bent wire spring.
A connection unit for connecting at least one connection element, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first contact element;
- a second contact element arranged on an opposite side to the first contact element, at least one receiving space being formed between the first contact element and the second contact element for clamping the at least one connection element between the first contact element and the second contact element;
- and
- at least one finger guard element which covers at least some regions of the first contact element and the second contact element in a region of the at least one receiving space,
- wherein the first contact element, the second contact element, and the finger guard element are borne in the housing in a floating manner, and
- wherein the first contact element and the second contact element each have a first bearing point and a second bearing point spaced apart from the first bearing point, the first contact element and the second contact element being held on the at least one finger guard element by the first bearing point, and the first contact element and the second contact element being held on the housing by the second bearing point.
