Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical contact piece having an integrated stop, an L-shaped main contact body having a long and a short arm, the long arm having fastening means for fixing the contact piece in a housing and a bent-out stop piece, and the short arm having an electrical contact surface, and at least one clamping device attached to the long arm of the main contact body for clamping an electrical conductor introduced into the contact piece between a clamping part and the long arm.
Claims12
An electrical contact piece having an integrated stop, comprising:
- an L-shaped main contact body having a long arm and a short arm, wherein the long arm has fastening means for fixing the electrical contact piece in a housing and a bent-out stop piece and the short arm has an electrical contact surface;
- and
- at least one clamping device attached to the long arm of the L-shaped main contact body for clamping an electrical conductor introduced into the electrical contact piece between a clamping part and the long arm,
- wherein the bent-out stop piece is bent out from the L-shaped main contact body such that an insertion depth of an electrical conductor into the electrical contact piece is limited by the bent-out stop piece in such a way that uncontrolled and too-deep insertion is prevented.
An electrical contact piece having an integrated stop, comprising:
- an L-shaped main contact body having a long arm and a short arm, wherein the long arm has fastening means for fixing the electrical contact piece in a housing and a bent-out stop piece and the short arm has an electrical contact surface;
- and
- at least one clamping device attached to the long arm of the L-shaped main contact body for clamping an electrical conductor introduced into the electrical contact piece between a clamping part and the long arm,
- wherein the bent-out stop piece is bent out from the L-shaped main contact body such that an insertion depth of an electrical conductor into the electrical contact piece is limited by the bent-out stop piece in such a way that uncontrolled and too-deep insertion is prevented, and
- wherein the fastening means for fixing the electrical contact piece in a housing have claws which are designed to hook onto walls of the housing.
An electrical contact device for at least one electrical pole, comprising:
- at least one electrical contact piece per electrical pole, the at least one electrical contact piece comprising:
- an integrated stop;
- an L-shaped main contact body having a long arm and a short arm, wherein the long arm has fastening means for fixing the at least one electrical contact piece in a housing and a bent-out stop piece and the short arm has an electrical contact surface;
- and
- at least one clamping device attached to the long arm of the L-shaped main contact body for clamping an electrical conductor introduced into the at least one electrical contact piece between a clamping part and the long arm,
- wherein the bent-out stop piece is bent out from the L-shaped main contact body such that an insertion depth of an electrical conductor into the at least one electrical contact piece is limited by the bent-out stop piece in such a way that uncontrolled and too-deep insertion is prevented;
- and
- an electrically insulating housing for receiving and holding the at least one electrical contact piece, wherein the housing has a separate chamber for each of the at least one electrical contact piece and all the chambers are at least partially electrically insulated from one another.
