Abstract: A retention mechanism for attaching equipment to a mounting rail comprises a slider including a first retention section and a pivoting lever mechanical coupled to the slider. The slider is movable in a translational manner along a sliding direction with respect to a remaining portion of the retention mechanism. The lever includes a second retention section aligned with the first retention section in the sliding direction. A reception area for receiving the mounting rail is defined between the first retention section and the second retention section.

Abstract: A module arrangement for a modular field device connection unit comprises a frame module having an interface receptacle, an interface module adapted to be inserted into the interface receptacle along a module insertion path, and a resetting mechanism adapted to reset the movable coding element into the neutral position by insertion of the interface module into the interface receptacle and/or removal of the interface module from the interface receptacle. The interface module has a cartridge receptacle and a movable coding element. The movable coding element is movable from a neutral position into a coding position by insertion of a cartridge member into the cartridge receptacle. The resetting mechanism has a trigger element at least partially protruding into the module insertion path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a push-in clamp retainer for an electric connector element with a lead wire receptacle which is at least partly encircled by a surrounding wall. In a lateral direction, a push-in clamp assembly includes such a push-in clamp retainer and a separate spring member having a first end and second end, The invention also relates to an electric connector element having a spring release member and a push-in clamp assembly. The invention involves the implementation of at least one receiving member into at least one contraction of the push-in clamp retainer, combining such a push-in clamp retainer with a spring member to form the push-in clamp assembly, and adding a spring release member to the push-in clamp assembly to obtain the electric connector element.

Abstract: A contact element is disclosed and includes a body of contact material, a mating plug end, a conductor end, and a fold-over layer of the contact material. The mating plug end is positioned at one end of the body, while the conductor end is positioned an opposite end of the body with respect to the mating plug end. The mating plug end includes a conductor-side cross-width less than a plug-side cross-width of the mating plug end. The fold-over layer of the contact material is disposed along at the mating plug end.

Abstract: A plug contact arrangement is provided having a plurality of plug contact modules, including a plug socket module and a plug contact module. The plug socket module includes a base member and a socket contact section connected to the base member and having pair of contact members extending linearly and parallel with respect to each other and defining a contact blade receiving member there between. Each of the pair of contact members includes a contact face extending into the contact blade receiving member. The plug contact module is securable to the plug socket module and includes a plurality of lateral walls extending parallel to each other, a reinforcement member connecting the plurality of lateral walls, and a contact section extending from the plurality of lateral walls and having a contact blade having opposite contact faces to engage the pair of contact members.

Abstract: Arrangement for establishing and/or breaking a connection between a plug and a complementary mating plug, wherein a lever which can be pivoted about an axis is arranged on the plug. The connection between the plug and the mating plug can be broken when the lever is pivoted into a disconnection position and/or can be established when the lever is pivoted into a connection position. The plug is, in particular, a switch module, for example a tripping module for a mating plug which is in the form of a circuit breaker.

Abstract: A switching arrangement includes a plug and a complementary mating plug for establishing and separating a connection between the plug and the mating plug. The plug includes a locking bolt disposed rotationally about an axis. The locking bolt includes a thread and the mating plug includes a mating thread. The plug is lockable to the mating plug by driving in the thread of the locking bolt into the mating thread. The switching device is configured to be moved to a connected position by driving in the thread of the locking bolt into the mating thread, and thereby providing a movement of the plug relative to the mating plug, and is configured to be moved to a disconnected position by driving out the thread of the locking bolt from the mating thread, thereby providing the movement of the plug relative to the mating plug.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical contact arrangement for high pulsed currents and for connection with a polygonal socket. The electrical contact arrangement includes first contact, arm, a second contact arm, an intermediate space provided between the first and second contact arms, and a third contact arm. The second contact arm positioned apart from the first contact arm in a deflection direction extending perpendicularly to the plug-in direction. The first contact arm and second contact arm extend substantially in a plug-in direction, and one of the first contact arm or second contact arm resiliently deflectable relative to the other contact arm in the deflection direction. The third contact arm extends in the plug-in direction and is positioned apart from the first contact arm and the second contact arm in a transverse direction extending perpendicularly to the plug-in and deflection directions. The third contact arm movable in the deflection direction and into the intermediate space.
