A spring-loaded terminal is designed as a direct plug-in terminal for connecting a conductor. The terminal includes a busbar for contacting the conductor, a clamping spring for retaining the electrical conductor in the terminal, and a retaining spring for latching the clamping spring in an open position so that the conductor can be inserted into a contact area. The clamping spring has a pivotable clamping leg and a clamping edge. The retaining spring has a pivotable pivoting leg having at least one retaining device as a first latching device. The clamping leg has a corresponding latching device cooperating with the retaining device of the pivoting leg in a latching state of the clamping leg. The clamping leg is adjustable from the latching state by displacing the electrical conductor into a clamping state in which the clamping leg is unlatched from the retaining device and presses the electrical conductor with the clamping edge of the clamping leg against the busbar. The latching device of the clamping leg is spaced from the clamping edge of the clamping leg.

One or more marking elements that can be provided with an inscription are formed on a terminal block which can be mounted on a mounting base or support rail has a housing made of plastic and at least one conductor connections formed in the housing, One or more marking recesses are formed in the housing with each marking recess being designed for the application of a corresponding marking element. The terminal block with the housing is formed by an injection molding toot One or more free spaces are formed in the region of the one or more marking recesses. One or more free spaces are sprayed with a plastic in the region of the marking recesses, whereby one or more inscribable marking elements are formed on the housing.

Method and device for marking terminal blocks

A busbar for electrically contacting an electrical conductor has two mutually opposing side walls and a bearing wall for the electrical conductor. The bearing wall extends between the side walls and transversely or substantially transversely to same, wherein the side walls and the bearing wall extend in an insertion direction and define a receiving space for receiving the electrical conductor. At least one electrically conductive projection is provided on one of the side walls and/or the bearing wall. The width of the projection is less than the width of the bearing wall.

Busbar and busbar assembly for an electrical conductor

A connection device for the connection of a conductor end includes a housing having a slotted link, a busbar section having a slotted link aligned with the housing slotted link, an d clamping spring assembly rotatably connected with the housing and operable between an open position and a contact position with the conductor end. A rotary lever assembly including a rotary lever element is operably connected with the clamping spring assembly. The rotary lever element has a cam section and a control curve section on which the clamping spring assembly slides during movement into the contact position. A clamping device is arranged on the cam section and is retained by the housing and busbar slotted links.

Connection device for the connection of a conductor end

A connection device for the connection of a conductor end includes a housing, a busbar section arranged in the housing, and a clamping spring assembly rotatably connected with the housing and operable between an open position and a contact position in contact with the conductor end. A rotary lever assembly is operably connected with the clamping spring assembly. The clamping spring assembly includes at least one clamping spring having clamping and actuating limbs arranged at an acute angle and connected by a bending region bearing against a spring carrier. The clamping spring assembly is preferably preassembled on the spring carrier for insertion in the housing.

A method for implementing-a wiring on a matrix of conductor connection devices such as terminal conductor connection devices for connection of the ends of a conductor to at least one series terminal block uses at least one luminous element to identify conductor connection devices which are illuminated in the matrix directly or indirectly in accordance with a wiring diagram. The conductor connection devices that are illuminated by the luminous element and that are to be interconnected are connected to conductors, the ends of which are inserted in the conductor connection devices to establish a respective conducting wiring connection.

An assembly includes at least two disconnect terminals and at least one coupling device, wherein the at least two disconnect terminals each include at least one switching lever. Each switching lever is adjustable independently from the other switching lever from a first switch position into at least one second switch position and back, wherein the switching levers are connectable by the at least one coupling device. The at least one coupling device connects the switching levers if the at least one coupling device is switched into at least one first coupling position, and the at least one coupling device separates the switching levers from one another if the at least one coupling device is switched into at least one second coupling position. A disconnect terminal includes the at least one coupling device.

A disconnect terminal includes an enclosure, a first conductor rail, a second conductor rail, a switching device, and an actuation device. The switching device can be switched by the actuation device from a connecting position, in which the first conductor rail and the second conductor rail are electrically connected by the switching device into a disconnecting position in which the electrical connection of the first conductor rail and the second conductor rail is separated or disconnected, and back. A visible portion of the actuation device aligns with a surface of a portion of an upper side of the enclosure or with a part connected with the enclosure. In the disconnecting position, the visible portion of the actuation device protrudes from a surface of a portion of an upper side of the enclosure or of a part connected with the enclosure in a clearly visible manner. An assembly is provided of at least two aligned disconnect terminals.

A connection terminal for connecting an electrical device to a continuous electrical conductor such as a ground conductor includes a connector body with at least one terminal connection. Each terminal connection includes a recess which extends in a direction of extension of the electrical conductor and a holding device to at least partially close the recess. The holding device is adjustable relative to the direction of extension of the electrical conductor from an open position in which the electrical conductor can be inserted into the recess to a closed position in which the holding device holds the electrical conductor in the recess. The holding device is either reversibly rotatable in a direction of rotation around an axis which extends in the direction of extension or reversibly displaceable in a sliding direction which extends transverse to the direction of extension. The terminal connection includes a clamping means device which clamps the electrical conductor and/or the holding device in the closed position.
