Abstract
A distribution apparatus for telecommunication equipment wherein a contact component part is fastened on one side of a grounded bearing part and on the opposite side, a safety plug for the protection of electrical lines against voltage surges may be plugged in. The safety plug includes surge arresters resting with one pole against a grounding plate whose end is bent off laterally in the plug-in direction and is designed as grounding contacts which are acutely bent back on themselves and flexible, that substantially project beyond the safety plug. The grounding plate directly contacts the bearing part, thereby providing a maximum of transmitting reliability with a minimum of construction expenditure. The grounding contacts engage holes arranged within the range of an angled section of the bearing part.
Claims6
In a distribution apparatus for telecommunication equipment having a safety plug which plugs into a contact component part which is provided with terminal connecting components for incoming and outgoing electrical leads of telecommunications equipment, wherein the contact component part is held fast to at least one grounded bearing part, and wherein the safety plug has plug-in blades for corresponding opposite contacts of the contact component part connected to the terminal connecting components and a grounding contact which is connected to ground, the improvement comprising:
- said grounded bearing part having a bar-shape and being located at a lower surface of said contact component part to one side of said contacts of the contact component part;
- and
- said safety plug being plugged in a plug-in direction into said contact component part at an upper surface thereof opposite from the grounded bearing part, and said grounded contact of said safety plug being located to one side of said plug-in blades and shaped generally in the form of a finger projecting in the plug-in direction beyond the plug-in blades so that it makes contact with said grounded bearing part at the lower surface of said contact component part.
