Electric Component, in Particular Terminal Block, Comprising a Socket for Receiving a Receiving Component

The electrical component (100) of the preceding claim,

• wherein the manipulation means (120) has a grip means (122) at the free end of the spacing portion, which is in particular adapted to enable the manipulation means to be actuated, e.g. manually gripped.

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims,

• wherein at a fixed end opposite the free end, the manipulation means (120) is integrally formed with the electrical component.

The electrical component (100) of the preceding claim,

• further comprising an ejection device (110) for releasing and/or at least partially ejecting the accommodated component (50) from the active position;
• wherein the fixed end of the manipulation means (120) is connected to the ejection device of the electrical component and/or is integrally formed with said ejection device.

The electrical component (100) of the preceding claim,

• wherein the ejection device (110) further comprises an actuation portion (28) for actuating the ejection device in particular by using a hand tool, wherein the manipulation means is integrally formed with the actuation portion of the ejection device.

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the two preceding claims,

• wherein the ejection device (110) further comprises an ejection portion (112) connected to the actuation portion (28) for ejecting the accommodated component from the plug-in socket (1) when the actuation portion is actuated;
• wherein the ejection portion is adapted and arranged so as to engage on the accommodated component (50) in a common contact plane (150) for ejecting the accommodated component from the active position in the plug-in socket.

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the three preceding claims,

• wherein actuation of the manipulation means (120) causes the ejection device (110) to move, wherein the manipulation means (120) is in particular adapted so as to actuate the ejection device (110) when a pulling force is exerted on the manipulation means.

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the accommodated component (50) can be transferred into the active position in the plug-in socket (1) by exerting a pressure force on the manipulation means (120).

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims,

• further comprising a retaining means (58) for retaining the accommodated component in a passive position on the electrical component, wherein in said passive position the first electrical contacts (52) of the accommodated component are electrically separated from the second electrical contacts (57) of the electrical component.

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the second electrical contact elements (57) or part thereof are arranged in a common contact plane (150) in the plug-in socket (1);
• wherein said contact plane extends through the first contact elements (52) of the accommodated component (50) when the latter is plugged into the plug-in socket.

The electrical component (100) as claimed in at least one of the preceding claims,

• wherein the retaining means (58) is arranged and adapted so that, when the ejection device (110) is actuated, the accommodated component (50) is automatically transferred into the passive position and is held there by the retaining means;
• and/or
• wherein the retaining means is automatically enabled or provided when the ejection device is actuated.

The electrical component (100) of the preceding claim,

• wherein the retaining means (58) is connected to the manipulation means (120) or integrally formed therewith;
• and/or wherein the retaining means is connected to or integrally formed with the actuation portion (28).

The electrical component (100) of the preceding claim,

• wherein the actuation guide comprises at least one engagement surface for absorbing rotational forces from the tool and/or the sliding portion and for retaining the sliding portion in the actuation guide.

An assembly, comprising an electrical component (100), in particular as claimed in any of the preceding claims, and an accommodated component (51) plugged into the plug-in socket (27), the assembly comprising:

• a manipulation means, by means of which the accommodated component can be inserted into the plug-in socket (6) or pulled out of the plug-in socket.
