  • Patent number: 7168977
    Abstract: A plug-in jumper for terminal blocks is provided for elastic engagement in openings in busbars and for electrical contact-making of the busbars of at least two junction and/or connecting terminals. The plug-in jumper includes a jumper bar having a bar strip and several plugs which are connected to the bar strip. Each plug has at least two contact legs located essentially parallel to one another, of which at least one is made elastic. The plug-in jumper makes it possible to electrically interconnect different busbars of different terminal blocks since the plugs have two contact areas which are located on top of one another for contact-making of two busbars of two junction and/or connecting terminals which are located next to one another, wherein the two busbars are located on a different planes.

  • Publication number: 20060063420
    Abstract: An electrical supply or connecting terminal with a clamping spring and a metal part located in an insulating housing having a conductor inlet opening for an electrical conductor. The clamping spring has a clamping leg and a contact leg, and the clamping leg and the metal part form a spring force clamp connection for the electrical conductor. The contact leg of the clamping spring is arranged essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor and a recess is formed in the contact leg for insertion of the electrical conductor. The clamping leg and the contact leg of the clamping spring are bent toward one another with the end of the clamping leg extending through the recess. The metal part has at least one mounting section inserted through the recess of the clamping spring in a direction opposite the insertion direction of the electrical conductor.
