A connection apparatus for connecting electrical devices, in particular electric motors to an AC system, has a housing which has at least one housing portion. A plurality of first and second conductor terminals are arranged in the at least one housing portion. Each conductor terminal has at least one or two or more individual terminals and a configuration plug. The configuration plug electrically connects individual or a plurality of the first and/or second conductor terminals in at least two different positions in order to obtain at least two different circuit types. The configuration plug is rotatably or slidably guided in or on the housing or at least on the at least one housing portion. Due to this relative movement, plug can be rotated and/or displaced into at least two different positions, in order to provide the at least two different circuit types.

A contact and busbar assembly forms a bus system on electronics housings arranged in an array. An electronics assembly such as a circuit board is arranged in each housing. The contact and busbar assembly includes multiple bus plugs each having first connecting contacts for contacting a respective circuit board, second terminal contacts in the form of one or more socket contacts and power rail strips. The power rail strips have at least one flexibly deformable section or are continuously flexibly deformable. Alternatively, the socket contacts are insertable not only parallel but also obliquely in relation to the power rail strips extending in the direction of the array for contact by the socket contacts.
