Abstract
A device for contacting an electric line includes a contact element, which has at least two contact tongues on the side facing the line. To achieve secure contacting, the contact element includes clamping halves, which are arranged resiliently in relation to one another.
Claims29
A device for contacting anelectric line comprising:
- a contact element, including clamping halves arranged resiliently in relation to one another, and including at least two contact tongues, on a side facing the electric line, the contact tongues being provided for penetrating the electric line to be contacted and being spatially offset with respect to one another with reference to an axis of the electric line to be contacted in such a way that an inner conductor to be contacted of the electric line to be contacted is pressed between the contact tongues when the clamping halves penetrate through the electric line, wherein contact tongues include stamped formations and cutting tips facing the electric line to be contacted and wherein at least one clamping half is connected via a pulling-out area to an adjusting screw for loosening the device.
The device as claimed in 1, wherein the clamping halves are positively interconnected.
A contact element of a device for contacting an electric line, comprising:
- clamping halves arranged resiliently in relation to one another;
- and
- at least two contact tongues, on a side facing the electric line, wherein the contact tongues are adapted to penetrate the electric line and adapted to be spatially offset with one another reference to an axis of the electric line, in such a way that an inner conductor of the electric line is pressed between the contact tongues when the clamping halves penetrate through the electric line, wherein the clamping halves include stamped formations and cutting tips facing the electric line to be contacted and, wherein at least one clamping half is connected via a pulling-out area to an adjusting screw for loosening the device.
The contact element as claimed in claim 28, further a pressing-in area for applying the pressing-in force over a flat area during fastening of the device.
