Abstract: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a contact apparatus for SMT placement on a printed circuit board, the contact apparatus being provided for the electrically conductive connection to at least one conductor track on the printed circuit board. The contact apparatus includes a contact holder for accommodating the contact, and the contact of the contact apparatus is provided for the connection to at least one electrical mating contact. The contact apparatus is designed on an SMT basis and can therefore be produced inexpensively and fitted easily. According to at least one embodiment of the invention, the contact apparatus has a first housing part, the housing part having at least one elongate cutout for accommodating the contact holder, and at least one stop for the contact being integrally formed on the housing part, which stop is provided for the purpose of absorbing insertion forces when contact is made between the contact and an electrical mating contact.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus, in particular for measuring current, is provided. In at least one embodiment, the measuring apparatus includes a sensor and an evaluation device which is coupled or can be coupled thereto, in which the coupling is effected contactlessly, in particular by way of a transponder interface. As such, on the one hand current can be measured in a reaction-free manner, wherein on the other hand the resulting measuring apparatus can be used in a particularly flexible and versatile manner on account of the maneuverability of the components with respect to one another and on account of the relatively large possible distance between the two parts of the transponder interface.

Abstract: A simple and low-cost electronic function relay is specified, for example an overload relay with a bistable printed circuit board relay module. The relay includes an engagement point for mechanical operation. The relay further includes a separate reset mechanism, which can be coupled to the printed circuit board relay module, and a switching lever, which corresponds with the engagement point, for manual resetting of the printed circuit board relay module to a switched-on position.
