A terminal strip is formed as a printed circuit board plug connector and has a strip-like housing composed of a plurality of terminal housings which are arranged alongside one another in an arranging direction X. The housings are mechanically connected to one another. The terminal housings each have a plugging face side on which they have at least one first plugging contact which can be plugged together with a corresponding plugging contact of a corresponding plug connector.

Printed circuit board plug connector

A connection terminal for connecting a conductor is formed as a direct plug-in terminal and includes a clamping spring arranged in a housing. The clamping spring includes a resilient clamping leg which can move into an open and locking position by pressing down an actuating device. The housing contains a conductor insertion channel for insertion of the conductor into a clamping point between the free end of the clamping leg and a busbar. The actuating device includes a pressing element and a pivoting element which interacts with the pressing element at least when the clamping point is being opened. At least one release device is provided for releasing the locking state of the clamping leg of the clamping spring. The release device is designed in such a way that the locking position can be released again by the action of the conductor on the release device when it is inserted, wherein the pivoting element acts on the pressing element and the pressing element acts on the clamping leg.

Connection terminal for conductors

A modular plug connector in a strip-shaped design can be plugged together with a corresponding mating plug connector such as a printed circuit board plug connector. The modular plug connector has a plurality of plug connector modules which are arranged alongside one another and are connected mechanically to one another using mechanical connectors to form the strip shape. The plug connector modules each have a module housing, at least one plugging surface with at least one plugging contact and preferably at least one conductor or solder terminal for connection to a printed circuit board. The plug connector has at least two plug connector modules of different designs and an adapter plug connector module is provided therebetween.

Modular plug connector for a printed circuit board

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.

Contact and busbar assembly forming a bus system on electronics housings

A contact and busbar assembly forms a bus system on electronics housings arranged in an array direction. Each housing includes a circuit board. The contact and busbar assembly includes multiple bus plugs having first connecting contacts for electrically contacting the circuit boards and second connecting contacts in the form of socket contacts for electrically contacting power rail strips. A plurality of power rail strips electrically connects the second connecting contacts of adjacent electronics housings. A first power rail strip electrically connects the bus plugs of two directly adjacent electronics housings and a second power rail strip of greater length electrically connects two spaced electronics housings. An electronics housing assembly is provided having multiple electronics housings arranged against one another in the array direction and a contact and busbar assembly as set forth above. A method for removing or replacing an electronics housing arranged between two adjacent electronics housings of such an electronics housing assembly is also provided.
