A termination strip () for a telecommunications module comprising at least one pair of contact elements () arranged side-by-side, each terminating in contacts () on opposed longitudinal sides () of the strip for connection to a wire pair of a telecommunications cable. Each contact element comprises: (i) two end regions () that terminate in contacts on respective longitudinal sides of the termination strip and are substantially aligned with one another along the longitudinal axis of the contact element, and (ii) a narrower central region () between the end regions, located substantially on one side of the longitudinal axis. One of the end regions comprises a resilient contact region () extending from the end region substantially on the other side of the longitudinal axis and engageable by an external component inserted into the termination strip from one of the opposed longitudinal sides. The contact elements are substantially identical but turned through 180&#xb0; relative to one another with the narrower central regions adjacent one another.

Connection and switching contact elements for a termination strip for a telecommunications module

A telecommunications terminal module () includes the following features. The terminal module () includes at least one location () for mounting a section () of a telecommunications rack (), the mounting location () is provided with surfaces () facing said section (), and the surfaces () of said mounting location () are configured such that said terminal module () can be tilted from the condition as secured to said rack () relative to said section () about one rim () thereof.

Telecommunications terminal module and combination including a terminal module

A telecommunications module includes a housing, a plurality of contacts, which are exposed to allow the connection of wires herewith, and a connecting device for connecting at least some of the contacts with other contacts of the telecommunications module, wherein the connecting device is partially accommodated in the housing an d partially extends outside the housing.

Telecommunications module

A telecommunications terminal module () is provided, having a splitter group or other electrical or electronic component () integrated in the terminal module (), and two rows of contacts (') with contacts (&#x2032;,) to which cable cores () can be connected from the outside of the terminal module (), the contacts () being connected with contacts () of the splitter group () inside the terminal module (), and the contacts () being designed in such a way that they approach each other inside the terminal module (), at least in parts, but are electrically separated from one another and are separately connected to the splitter group ().

Telecommunications terminal module

A telecommunications overvoltage protection magazine ( ) permits in the mounting position direct mounting in a telecommunications rack-mounting system behind a junction zone ( ) for cable conductors and electrical connection to the junction zone ( ), the surge arresters being insertable in a mounting position from below, from above or partly from above and partly from below, more particularly alternatingly from above and below.

Overvoltage protection magazine

A terminal block assembly is provided containing a bus bar having a knife edge arranged to penetrate the insulation of an insulated conductor that is carried by a support member, whereby during the connection of the support member with the terminal block, the insulation is penetrated by the knife edge to electrically connect the conductor with the bus bar. In order to facilitate the connection of the support member to the terminal block, the support member and the terminal block are provided with openings that cooperate to define a long-arm pivotal leverage arrangement that provides an assembling tool with a mechanical advantage for assisting in the penetration of the insulation by the knife edge.

Terminal block assembly with insulation penetrating means

An insulation displacement contact (10) comprises a contact spring (12) with two resilient contact shanks (20) that limit a contact slot (30), and a U-shaped force spring (14) formed as a separate component from the contact spring (12). The shanks (28) of the force spring (14) run largely perpendicular to regions of the contact shanks (20) and encompass same.

Insulation displacement contact and a terminal strip or module and a

A connection contact in a single piece has two insulation displacement contacts (14) having each an insulation displacement slot (16), a contact and guiding surface (20) and a shearing element. The connection contact further has two contact legs (22, 23) one end of which is connected to an insulation displacement contact (14), a home contact formed between the free ends of the contact legs and a section (27) that links the insulation displacement contacts (14). The disclosed connection contact in a single piece is characterized in that the linking section (27) is designed as a substantially U-shaped loop (28). As lead-shearing element, an insulation displacement contact (14) is associated to each leg (30) of the U- or V-shaped loop (28), so that the contact pressure between the contact legs of the home contact can be easily adjusted as desired. A fatigue-proof home contact is thus obtained, which is also economical to produce.

A securing and contacting adapter. (2) for a connector block in telecommunication technology having a front-sided engaging means consists of an elastic, electrically conducting material and has a first contacting and securing section (10) as well as a second contacting and securing section (14). The first contacting and securing section (10) has a securing element (12) for producing a releasable connection with the connector block, the securing element (12) being arranged at a distance from the upper end of the first contacting and securing section (10). The second contacting and securing section (14) is provided with a securing element (20) to produce a releasable connection with a receiving arm of a carrier profile rail.

Securing and contacting adapter for a connector block

A terminal block for a cable terminal unit comprises an insulating body which has receiving apertures in which in each of which a respective clamp is inserted which consists of a terminal contact and a separation and/or clamping device. The terminal contact is formed integrally with the separation and/or clamping device and at least one guide surface is provided for a wiring tool. With this construction it is possible to employ for wiring a single-strut wiring tool such as for example a common screw driver, whereby cost savings and operational simplifications may be achieved. Moreover, the terminal block has the advantage of simple and functionally reliable construction.
