Abstract
An electrical terminal strip for potential multiplication includes an insulating terminal housing having a plurality of openings arranged in a row. A comb yoke extends in a direction of the row, and is located within the terminal housing. At least one terminal contact row is located in the insulating terminal housing, and includes a plurality of contact connections disposed side by side in the direction of the row. Each contact connection includes a conductor terminal element having a receiving space therein. Each receiving space is in registration With a respective terminal housing opening, and extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the direction of the row. The receiving spaces receive respective protective conductors inserted from an outside of the terminal housing and through the respective terminal housing opening. Each contact connection further includes a conductor protecting element inserted into the respective receiving space. Each conductor protecting element is attached to the comb yoke to collectively form a one-piece comb-Shaped contact bar for electrically connecting the contact connections of the at least one terminal contact row to one another. The conductor protecting elements form the prongs of the comb-shaped contact bar. The conductor is clampable between the conductor protecting element and the conductor terminal element to contact the conductor protecting element and the conductor terminal element. At least one connector pin protrudes out from the terminal housing and is electrically connected to a contact connection.
