A screening connection device for a circuit board mounted within a housing possesses a plug component attached to the exterior of a housing wall by means of securing screws that may be coupled to a socket component mounted to the interior of the housing wall through a cutout in the wall. The plug component includes a screening connection in electrical contact with the securing screws to connect the shield of a cable connected to the plug component whose electrical lines may be connected to the circuit board via the plug component and the socket component. In order to provide contact elements between the securing screws of the plug component and the conductor on the circuit board provided to conduct the screen potential that are simple to manufacture, that provide positive contact, and that are robust components, screening plates are mountable so that they are fixed to the circuit board so that at least one conductor for connection of the screen potential may be brought into contact. Each of these screening plates includes a securing flange that rests against the interior side of the housing wall, and a threaded socket to engage one of the securing screws of the plug component.

Screen connector device for a circuit board mounted within a housing

A terminal has a box spring out of whose wall there is cut at least one elastic terminal leg which is bent into the inside of the box toward an opposing abutment and which has a free terminal end between which the abutment and an electric conductor can be clamped. An actuating part having a projecting pusher end is arranged in the box spring and can be displaced toward the terminal end of the terminal leg. When pushed in, the actuating part with its inside end is pushed as a wedge between the abutment and the terminal leg, thus releasing a clamped electric conductor. The actuating part has a through-channel for insertion of the electric conductor which extends from the conductor insertion orifice on the pusher end to a conductor outlet orifice.

Electronic terminal for use on circuit boards

The invention relates to an electrical or electronic device (,) for placement on a support rail (,), with a housing (,), and with a circuit board (,) located in the housing (,). To ensure reliable placement of the circuit board (,) in the housing (,) it is provided as claimed in the invention that there is at least one fixing means (,) which is inserted from the outside of the housing (,) into the corresponding openings (,) in the circuit board (,) and in the housing (,).

Electrical or electronic device having element for fixing and making electrical contact with a circuit board conductor

An electrical or electronic device (,) for placement on a support rail (,), with a housing (,), with at least one circuit board (,) located in the housing (,), and with contacts (,) which point in the lengthwise direction (R) of the support rail for a data and/or power bus connection to adjacent electronic devices which have the corresponding contacts and which are placed on the support rail (,). In order to be able to easily replace the circuit board (,) without interrupting the data and/or power bus connection, the housing (,) is made in at least two parts and there is a top part (,) which holds the circuit board (,) and there is a base part (,) which has contacts (,).
