  • Patent number: 11272636
    Abstract: The invention involves a busbar distributor for electrical energy, and uses at least one consumer terminal (CT) for at least one consumer for supplying the consumer with electrical energy, as well as at least one connecting element for connecting a building energy supply (BES) to at least one high-voltage busbar, which connecting element connects the consumer to the BES. The distributor further has at least one line element which is provided between the connecting element and the CT, and a connector which is arranged between the CT and the connecting element. The connecting element has at least two conductors for supplying power to the CT. Also, the connector is connected, on an energy supply side, to the line element, which is formed having two conductors for energy supply which can be connected to the BES. The line element is exchangeable depending on the actual voltage and/or the power system of the building energy supply.

  • Patent number: 9124040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a PCB connector for fastening a first printed circuit board on a second printed circuit board. The PCB connector may have a longitudinal base body with a clamping and fastening device for tool-free fastening of the PCB connector on a printed circuit board. The clamping and fastening device has a put-through body and a spring body which is formed extendable upon putting-through the put-through body through the land. The base body is thus pressed against the printed circuit board by the spring body.
