Publication number: 20150093925Abstract: An adapter for contacting busbars with a multi-pole connecting cable is disclosed with at least two contact connections for at least two busbars; a housing having holding means; and a cable-connecting device that is secured in the housing by the holding means. The cable-connecting device has: a lever switch; a spring-terminal structure; and a connecting structure. The lever switch has a fulcrum onto which a leverage acts when the lever switch is actuated. The spring-terminal structure provides a spring force for establishing an electrical contact between one of the plurality of poles and one of the at least two contact connections by the spring force after inserting the connecting cable. The connecting structure is arranged between the lever switch and the spring-terminal structure and is designed for transferring the leverage from the lever switch to the spring-terminal structure and to tension the spring-terminal structure counter to the spring force.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventor: Klaus Bruchmann
