Space-saving isolating arrester

The invention relates to a fuse for connection to a protective component of an overvoltage protective device. A fuse wire runs between a first cap and a second cap. In some implementations, the fuse wire may be held on the first cap by means of a soldered connection and fastened to a connection electrode. The connection electrode may be movable with respect to a fuse body and under mechanical pretension with respect to a fuse body. The fuse wire melts when acted on with a high It, and the soldered connection melts upon external heating by the overvoltage protective device above a specified temperature by means of the thermal connection. Electrical contact between the first cap and the connection electrode is broken via the mechanical pretension if the fuse wire or the soldered connection melt.

Fuse

A surge protection element includes a contact stud and a contact element disposed at a distance from the contact stud. A connection element is configured to be transferred into a first position, in which the connection element is applied to the contact stud and to the contact element so as to electrically connect the contact stud to the contact element, and into a second position, in which the connection element is disposed at a distance from the contact stud and the contact element. In the first position, the connection element engages at least partially around at least one of the contact stud and the contact element and a thermally separable connection is provided between the connection element and the contact stud and between the connection element and the contact element.

Surge protection element

A housing arrangement with at least two junction boxes, a base part and a cover, the junction boxes each having a square housing with a terminal strip for electrical connection of an electric cable or a line, and at least two openings for electric cables or lines. The housing arrangement can be modularly built and variably adapted to different requirements since the individual junction boxes can be mounted on top of one another turned by 0&#xb0;, 90&#xb0;, 180&#xb0; or 270&#xb0; relative to one another. The terminal strips are connectors which can be mounted in a junction box in any of four positions which are turned by 90&#xb0; relative to one another, and the connectors of two junction boxes which are mounted on top of one another can be connected to one another with the plug part of one connector can be inserted into the socket part of the other connector.

Housing arrangement with at least two junction boxes

A junction box with a square housing and with at least opening and terminal strip for electric cables or lines. With the junction box, a housing arrangement can be modularly built from individual junction boxes that can be reliably connected to one another or to a base part. For attaching the junction box to a second junction box or to a base part, there are two pivotable locking elements on the housing which are movable from a first, open position into a second, locking position, and projecting ribs formed in the area of the outside corners on the housing, the locking element having a U-shape of which a U-bridge is used as an actuating clip and two U-legs, with ends which are bent down, and extend around the ribs on the housing of a second junction box or of the base part in the second, locking position.

Housing arrangement with at least one junction box

An electrical supply or connecting terminal with a clamping spring and a metal part, the clamping spring having a clamping leg and a contact leg, and the metal part having a conductor bar piece. The clamping leg and the conductor bar piece form a spring force clamp connection for the electrical conductor. The contact leg of the clamping spring has a recess for insertion of the electrical conductor, and an end of the clamping leg extends through the recess. The clamping spring has a retaining section which runs essentially parallel to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor and parallel to the conductor bar piece and the conductor bar piece has been inserted though the recess in a direction opposite the insertion direction of the electrical conductor, the conductor bar piece being clamped securely between the end of the clamping leg and the retaining section.

Electrical supply or connecting terminal

A cable terminal or joint connection for making electrically conductive connection of a multi-core cable to an electrical device or to another multi-core cable, including a cable terminal component having a union nut and a wire receiving and guide part and including a device terminal component having a clamping and terminal unit which is provided with insulation piercing connecting devices and with terminal elements, and having a sleeve-shaped terminal body which is provided with an outside thread corresponding to the inside thread of the union nut. When the wire receiving and guide part is assembled with the union nut, the wire receiving and guide part is axially fixed via at least one slotted elastic locking ring in the union nut and the wire receiving and guide part is able to turn while in the axially fixed position relative to the union nut. Additionally, loss of the locking ring prior to assembly is prevented by fabricating the locking ring in one piece with the wire receiving and guide part.

Cable terminal or joint means

A cable terminal or joint for electrically conductive connection of a preferably multi-core cable to an electrical device, or for electrically conductive connection of two preferably multi-core cables, with one cable terminal component ( ) and with a device terminal component ( ), or with a first cable joint component and a second cable joint component, the cable terminal component ( ) and the first cable joint component or the device terminal component ( ) or the second cable joint component including a union nut ( ), a wire receiving and guide part ( ) which has a plurality of wire guide channels, a clamping and terminal unit ( ) which is provided with insulation piercing connecting devices and with terminal elements, and a sleeve-like terminal body ( ) or connecting body which is provided with an outside thread ( ) which corresponds to the inside thread ( ) of the union nut ( ), the wire ends which are to be squeezed by the insulation piercing connecting devices or which are to make contact with the insulation piercing connecting devices ( ) and the assigned insulation piercing connecting devices each running at an angle less than 180&deg; and the insulation piercing connecting devices ( ) cutting the wire insulation of the wire ends and making contact with the conductors when the union nut ( ) is screwed onto the terminal body ( ) or the connecting body or when the terminal body ( ) or the connecting body is screwed into the union nut ( ). In order to be able to ensure simple loosening of a terminal or a connection, it is provided that the wire receiving and guide part ( ) is axially fixed in the union nut ( ) via at least one slotted, elastic locking ring ( ) and that the wire receiving and guide part ( ) can be turned in the axially fixed position relative to the union nut ( ).
