Abstract: A device comprising a connecting strip from which contact pins extend. The connecting strip extends in a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the pins extend, and a connecting pin extends from each of the two opposed longitudinal edges of the connecting strip in the region of each connecting terminal. Two connecting pins facing each other form a clip which allows interconnection by gripping the edges of an insulation-displacement and retaining slit.
