Abstract: An operating element having an end piece, which is arranged for connecting to a printed circuit board and a front plate. An operating lever is rotatably mounted on the end piece. The operating lever has at least one grip section and one on and/or off lever piece, which are at least partly made from a wear-resistant material. Such a design has the particular advantage that part of the operating element which performs an on and/or off lever action, the on and/or off lever piece, opposite the section of the operating element to manipulate, the handle, is at least partly made from a wear-resistant material. The complete unit is thus rendered significantly more robust without sacrificing ergonomics of the grip piece.

Abstract: A rack assembly (1) includes cross-connecting bars (5) and guide bars (15) for printed circuit boards (59). These guide bars each include a fixing device (36) for the placement of a receiving element (17) which has a contact zone (37) and is placed into electric contact on a cross-connecting bar. The invention also provides for front elements (13) having centering contacts (25) that protrude into, and thereby come into contact with, the contact zone, in a low-ohmic, current-carrying manner, when the front element is set in place. The receiving element preferably has a contact blade (54) which extends into a guide groove (26) of the guide bar.

Abstract: A contact spring connector that contains a holding strip, from which a contact spring leaf and a clamping leaf alternatingly extend in rows. A contact spring leaf has a contact leg, which is spread away from the holding strip and is connected with the holding strip via a cap area. A clamping leaf has a clamping leg connected with the holding strip by spring bands and from which a clamping element is spread away from between the spring bands. The decoupling of the contact spring leaf from the clamping leaf in particular results in ruggedness in respect to mechanical effects.

Abstract: A mounting rack contains at least two center transverse rails (16, 20) whose rear faces rest facing one another and which are arranged in the region of the front face and/or rear face (25) of the mounting rack. A spring contact strip (1) is fitted on an inner face (26) of at least one of the two center transverse rails (16, 20) which faces away from the front face or rear face (25) of the mounting rack. The spring contact strip (1) has elongated, angled contact tongues (2) which extend into a gap (19) between the rear faces of the two center transverse rails (16, 20).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening device having a base plate and at least one shaped strip which can be joined to a side edge of the base plate. In this case, a shaped strip can be designed as a contact shaped strip or as a spring shaped strip with a plugged-on contact socket connector, and can advantageously be joined respectively to opposite side edges of a base plate. The advantage of the screening device in accordance with the present invention is, in particular, the low height of the shaped strips and, resulting therefrom, the electromagnetic screening, extending virtually ideally in one plane, of the metal housing, in particular in the case of a plurality of screening devices arranged next to one another. With subracks, the screening device in accordance with the present invention can be used, for example, as a rear cover or as a front filler panel for unassigned module locations.

Abstract: An electromagnetically shielded housing, in particular a subrack, has metal housing parts and at least one spring contact strip (FE). The spring contact strip is joined to a first housing part (BE) and is shaped such that the first housing part simultaneously makes contact with and is snap-connected to a second housing part (QV). When the electromagnetically shielded housing is fashioned as a subrack, a subrack shielding plate corresponds to the first housing part and a transverse rail corresponds to the second housing part. The stress-free snap-connection of the subrack shielding plate and transverse rail provided by the spring contact strip requires no additional compression. It is not necessary to screw down the subrack shielding plate, unless, for example, increased stability is desired. It is particularly advantageous if a distal edge of the preferably angled-off edge region (KE) of the subrack shielding plate is recessed into the housing and does not bend back out from the transverse rail.

Abstract: In a rack system for inserting electrical printed circuit board assemblies, front elements (52,8) for slots are provided with projecting plug-in and withdrawable centering and contact elements (13,49). These elements have associated receiving elements (16,21) composed of electrically conductive material and are mounted with low impedance to a transverse connecting rail (36,38). During an insertion process, the receiving elements and the centering and contact elements come into contact in a centered manner. When inserted, the receiving elements and the centering and contact elements provide a vibration-proof mechanical connection with a high adhesion force and a low-impedance contact with a high current carrying capacity.
