Connection device for a hot runner nozzle

A connection system (36) electrically linking a heater (22) for a hot runner nozzle (10) to at least one hookup conductor (32) linked to a power source, the heater (22) is mounted on a substrate,

• said connection system (36) comprising a hookup body (38;
• 60;
• 70)
• which is made of an electrically non-conducting material,
• which has four side faces (44), an upper side face (42) and a lower side face (40), and
• which has at least one passage (46) designed to receive the at least one hookup conductor (32),
• in a specified state of the connection system, the lower side face (40) of the hookup body (38, 60, 70) is facing the heater (22);
• and
• in the specified state, the hookup conductor (32) is terminated in said lower side face (40) of the hookup body (38;
• 60;
• 70) facing the heater (22),
• the hookup body (38;
• 60;
• 70) is affixable to or on said substrate so that, in the specified state, the at least one hookup conductor (32) passing through the at least one passage (46) shall make contact by their free ends with the heater (22),
• wherein the lower side face (40) of the hookup body (38;
• 60;
• 70) facing the heater (22) is fitted with at least one recess (48) which is designed to receive one bent free end segment of a hookup conductor (32).
