  • Patent number: 6541720
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connection device for contacting conductor wires of a plurality of electrical conductors (12), running in a strip-like manner, of a conductor wire combination, with the conductor wires of electrical connection lines of an electrical consuming unit, in particular a light of a lighting strip system, whereby the connection device (13) has a coupling part to (13a) and a counter-coupling element (13b) having contact elements (16) which upon plugging together of the counter-coupling element (13b) with the coupling parts (13a) each make a current connection to associated conductor wires, whereby the contact elements (16) are arranged in two rows (R1, R2) extending transversely to the conductor wires and there is associated with one row (R1) a contact position selection device (25a) for displacing at least one contact element (16) between at least two neighbouring contact positions.
