A device () is shown and described for at least indirectly connecting a light fixture with a power track () and having a housing () holding at least one angularly movable control shaft (or) and formed of at least two housing shells (and) formed of dielectric material, in particular plastic. The novelty is that at least a first housing shell () is provided with a retaining formation (, or) that cooperates with the control shaft (or) and/or with a second housing shell ().

Current-rail adapter

An insert part can fit into the slot of a power track. A shaft extending into the insert part is pivotal about a shaft axis in the housing between a use position and a nonuse position. A one-piece conductive contact element rotationally fixed to the shaft has a contact projecting radially from the shaft and engageable with one of the power-track conductors when the insert part is fitted to the slot and the shaft is in the use position, and a one-piece plug-type terminal extending generally parallel to the axis. Formations unitarily formed with the contact element and the shaft axially and rotationally fix the contact element on the shaft. A hookup wire provided with another plug-type terminal mates with the terminal of the contact element.
