Abstract: The described current distributor has a bus bar, a plug socket connected to the bus bar, at least one contact element which comprises an access connection, a consumer tapping and an element connecting the access connection and the consumer tapping, at least one plug connection for the plug contacts of a protective switch, which has a plug socket of the bus bar and an access socket of a contact element, and two signaling lines. In order to produce such a current distributor inexpensively and to ensure reliability of operation, it is provided in accordance with the invention that the contact element comprises a one-piece member.

Abstract: A heat sink for electronic components is presented, which is integral and comprises a strip of sheet brass. This strip is bent in a meandering shape, contact surfaces being seated on a heat distributor of a component, in the region of lower meandering curves. The heat sink is held firmly on the component by means of an internally produced prestress in conjunction with a snap-action connection. Although the heat sink has longitudinal elasticity even in the fitted state, its heat-dissipating function can always be maintained.
