Connector for conductor rails

A conductor rail connector to connect the ends of two conductor rails, the conductor rail connector comprising:

• a first connection element and a second connection element, wherein the first connection element and the second connection element include contact surfaces that correspond to one another, and wherein the first connection element and the second connection element are formed to be identical to each other;
• and
• at least one screw element configured to connect the first connection element and the second connection element to respective conductor rail ends,
• wherein the at least one screw element is supported on one side on a first side of one of the conductor rail ends and is supported on another side on the first connection element, and wherein the at least one screw element is configured to generate a force pressing the second connection element against the first side of at least one conductor rail,
• wherein at least one contact surface is arranged at an angle to a direction of the force, and
• wherein a resultant force, having a force component, is generated transversely to the direction of the force, due to the force and the angled contact surface, said resultant force pressing at least one connection element with at least one further contact surface of the at least one connection element against the conductor rails in the direction of the force.
