Abstract: A connector for connecting two conductor rail sections, the connector having an electrical conductor that is fastened at each end to the conductor rails. A central region of the conductor is fastened to a connection element. The connection element is slidingly connected to both of the two conductor rails. The electrical conductor has two flexible, undulating portions. These are located between the central region of the electrical conductor and each of its two, attached ends, and serve to compensate for the expansion and contraction of the two conductor rails with changes in temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for connecting two conductor rail sections (2a, 2b). Said connector comprises at least one electrical conductor (1), the ends (1a, 1b) thereof being respectively connected to a conductor rail section (2a, 2b) in a conductive and fixed manner, and a connection element (4) which interconnects the ends (2a′, 2b′) of the mutually facing conductor rail sections (2a, 2b). The connection element (4) is positioned in a displaceable or sliding manner in or on both ends (2a′, 2b′) of the mutually facing conductor rail sections (2a, 2b) and the electrical conductor (1) is fixed to the connection element (4).
