Abstract: A current connecting device for establishing electrical connection between rail conductors, having contact clips (20) and division plates (23), the contact clips (20) being modular and comprising two flat electrically conducting coupling pieces (35, 50) which are disposed inside a housing (26) made of insulating material with openings (49) for connection. Each of the coupling pieces has a spring (33, 34) which provide the necessary contact pressure. Each contact clip (20) has an insulating housing (26) in which there is disposed a fixed coupling piece (50) and a coupling piece (35) which can be made maneuverable if desired. Each coupling piece has two contact surfaces (36, 37, 38, 39). Both the division plates (23) and the contact clips (20) are provided with a releasing element (27, 28). The device is a universally applicable current connector with which one can form conductive couplings between electrical conductors, for example copper rails (40), wherever it is desirable.
