A base element for an at least two-part overvoltage protective arrangement, has a support rail receptacle for receiving a support rail carrying an electrical potential, a first receptacle for receiving a first electrical conductor, a second receptacle for receiving a second electrical conductor, and a protective element receptacle for receiving an overvoltage protective element. An electrical connecting element for transmitting an electrical signal from the first receptacle to the second receptacle is produced between the first second receptacles. An electrical support rail contact element makes electrical contact with the support rail when the support rail is received by the support rail receptacle. The first and second receptacles receive electrical connector parts or adapter connector parts for electrical connector parts. An overvoltage protective arrangement with such a base element. The base element and overvoltage protective arrangement make possible simple installation in existing control and signaling systems with minimal intervention.

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a housing; a busbar; a clamping spring including a clamping leg transferrable into a clamping position and into a release position; an actuator by which a compressive force is applicable to the clamping leg for transferring the clamping leg from the clamping position into the release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and of the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably arranged guide element in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; and a release element, which in the release position of the clamping leg of the clamping spring is in engagement with the guide element. The release element, during insertion of the conductor to be connected into the conductor connection space, actuates by the insertion.

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a busbar; a clamping spring, which has a retaining leg and a clamping leg, the clamping leg being transferable into a clamping position and into a release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably arranged guide element, which is in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; and a pivotably mounted actuating element, by which the guide element is displaceable to transfer the clamping leg of the clamping spring from the clamping position into the release position. The clamping spring is arranged between the section of the busbar and the actuating element.

Connection arrangement, connection clamp and electronic device

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a housing; a busbar; a clamping spring including a clamping leg transferrable into a clamping position and into a release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably arranged guide element, which is in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; a release element, which, in the release position of the clamping leg of the clamping spring, is in engagement with the guide element, the release element during insertion of the conductor to be connected into the conductor connection space being actuatable thereby such that the release element comes out of engagement with the guide element and the guide element is displaceable by a spring force of the clamping leg.

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a busbar; a clamping spring, which has a retaining leg and a clamping leg, the clamping leg being transferable into a clamping position and into a release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and of the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably arranged guide element, which is in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; and an actuating element, by which the guide element is displaceable in order to transfer the clamping leg of the clamping spring from the clamping position into the release position. The clamping spring is arranged between the section of the busbar and the actuating element.

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a busbar; a clamping spring by which the conductor to be connected is clamped in a clamping position of the clamping spring against the busbar; and an actuating element by which the clamping spring can be moved from the clamping position into an open position. A holding element is provided which, in the open position, engages with the actuating element to hold the actuating element in position. The holding element has a pressure surface. For moving the clamping spring from the open position into the clamping position, the pressure surface can be actuated by the conductor to be connected and the holding element can be disengaged from the actuating element by the actuation of the pressure surface.

Connection arrangement, connection terminal and electronic device

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a busbar; a clamping spring including a clamping leg which transferrable into a clamping position and into a release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably-arranged guide element, which is in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; and a release element which, in the release position of the clamping leg of the clamping spring, is in engagement with the guide element. The release element, during insertion of the electrical conductor to be connected into the conductor connection space, is actuatable by the insertion such that the release element comes out of engagement with the guide element. The guide element is displaceable by a spring force of the clamping leg.

A terminal for connecting an electrical conductor includes a housing, a current bar arranged in the housing, a clamping spring arranged in the housing for clamping the conductor to be connected against the current bar in a conductor connection space formed between the current bar and the clamping spring, and an actuation element, which is displaceably mounted in the housing, wherein a clamping leg of the clamping spring can be actuated by means of the actuation element in order to transfer the clamping leg from a clamping position into an open position. The clamping leg has at least one skid, which with at least one pressure face formed on the actuation element, interacts during transfer of the clamping leg from the clamping position into the open position in such a way that the clamping leg slides along the at least one pressure face with the at least one skid.

Terminal

A conductor terminal includes: a housing having a conductor receiving chamber accessible via a conductor insertion opening for receiving an electrical conductor, the electrical conductor being insertable into the conductor receiving chamber in a conductor insertion direction; a current bar arranged in the conductor receiving chamber for contacting the electrical conductor inserted into the conductor receiving chamber via the conductor insertion opening; and a clamping spring, which is arranged in the housing and has a spring clamping leg, the clamping spring being actuatable between a clamping spring release position and a clamping spring clamping position such that in the clamping spring release position, the electrical conductor is guidable into and/or out of the conductor receiving chamber, and in the clamping spring clamping position, the spring clamping leg applies force in a direction of the current bar to the electrical conductor inserted into the conductor receiving chamber.
