Abstract
A flat fluorescent light (1), comprises a discharge vessel that is composed of a based plate (3), face plate (4) and frame (5). A contact system (2) for connecting an electric power supply device by connection lines is integrated into the narrow side of the flat fluorescent light. An insulation body, provided with U-shaped contact sections is located between a section of the base plate (3) and face plate (4), the section acting as a receptacle and projecting beyond the frame (5) of the discharge vessel. The contact surface of the contact sections are connected to the electrodes of the flat florescent light by connection surfaces of the receptacle. The connection parts of the contact sections are connected to the connection lines.
Claims14
An electrical contact system, having
- a contact part (7;
- 20) having
- a U-shaped section (8;
- 24), comprising two side walls and a connecting wall which connects these two side walls, the outer side of the connecting wall having a contact surface (16;
- 25),
- a connection part (9) for an electrical connection line,
- an insulating body (6), on which the U-shaped section (8;
- 24) of the contact part (7;
- 20) is mounted, in the process engaging partially around at least a partial region of the insulating body (6),
- a receptacle for the insulating body (6) with the mounted contact part (7;
- 20), having
- two plates (3, 4) or at least a part of two plates (3, 4) which are arranged at a distance from one another and, at least in sections, parallel to one another,
- an electrical connection face (17) which is arranged on one of the two mutually facing surfaces of the two plates (3, 4),
- the insulating body (6) being arranged with the contact part (7;
- 20) between the two plates (3, 4), in such a manner that the contact surface (16;
- 25) of the contact part (7;
- 20) is in electrically conductive contact with the connection face (17) of the receptacle.
