Abstract
A multi-function adapter with a base housing, on which suspension hooks corresponding to the number of bus bars of a bus bar system are formed, which are offset with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction of the base housing in a manner corresponding to the spacing of the bus bars, and which are accessible through contact rail receptacles for the insertion of connecting contacts, which connect the inserted contact rails with the bus bars. A multiple variation of the adapter is achieved because the narrow side walls, the long lateral walls and the top of the base housing have snap-in receptacles with snap-in shoulders, by which narrow side cover elements, top cover elements, perforated strips and equipment connection elements can be selectively connected with the base housing with appropriately designed and distributed snap-in springs.
