A current bar arrangement includes a flat, two-wire, flexible cable (2) provided with a rubber-like insulation (2.3). The cable has a plurality of holes (2.4) stamped in the insulation at a mutual distance between the two wires (2.1, 2.2). The two wires are laid bare in each case for a short distance. The current bar arrangement also has a cable channel (1) substantially form-stable in the lengthwise direction and substantially U-shaped in profile for receiving and holding the cable. The current bar arrangement is very versatile and variable in use, but especially in low-voltage halogen lighting systems. It is distinguished by an especially simple technical construction and, associated with this, by a very low production cost.

An electric contact arrangement for a multi-strand cable having at least one connection position for receiving a contact plug, comprises a plurality of spaced openings extending through the cable insolation and defining the connection position, and a respective plurality of plug contacts received in the openings. Each contact comprises a contact element that in engaged position thereof makes electrical contact with a cable strand intersecting the end zone of a respective opening.

Electric contact arrangement for a multi-strand cable

An electric contact device for an electrical connection of electroconductive connectors comprises a row of interconnected contact elements which are joined together by at least one continuous band-shaped or wire-shaped spring element. Each contact element is provided with at least one opening through which the spring element extends. The opening provides for fixing of the contact element which, in an unstressed condition, extends at an angle maximum 45.degree. relative to the plane of the spring element. Under the contact pressure, the spring element is deformed and takes a wave form, thus, producing a resilient force. This permits to assemble the device with larger tolerances for spacing between the contact elements. Preferably, the edges of the contact elements have a high electric conductivity.
