Abstract: An insulation piercing connector (2) is held inside a base body (1), and a closing element (3) is guided inside said base body. The closing element can be transferred into a closed position at least from one open position, in which a conductor (4) can be inserted into the closing element (3). By transferring the closing element (3) into the closed position, the conductor (4) can be inserted into the insulation piercing connector (2) and can be held and clamped therein. An over spring (7) is arranged on the closing element (3). Said over spring surrounds the insulation piercing connector (2) and contacts the same via contact pieces (8) whereby exerting a pressure force (F) onto the insulation piercing connector (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for contacting an electrical conductor, having a base body (1), having a closing element (2) with a receptacle area (3) for receiving the conductor, having an insulation piercing connector (4) held in the base body (1) with a contact region (5), wherein the closing element (2) is movable in a linear direction from an open position to a closed position relative to the base body (1), with the insulation piercing connector (4) being disposed such that its contact region (5) is located outside of the receptacle area (3) relative to the closing element (2) in the open position and inside the receptacle area (3) relative to the closing element (2) in the closed position.

Abstract: An insulation displacement connector device includes a base body, with a cutting clamp mounted on the base body and a closing element which may be displaced relative to the base body. The base body including an operating volume into which an operating tool may be introduced. The operating tool may be pivoted in a pivoting direction within the operating volume. The closing element may thus be moved between an open and a closed position. The closing element defines the operating volume on one side viewed from the pivoting direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical unit comprising a mounting device for fastening the unit to a supporting element, e.g. to a mounting rail, and at least one insulation piercing connecting device provided with an insulation piercing element and with a holding element. The insulation piercing element and holding element can move in relation to one another. When the unit is fastened to the supporting element, a conductor can be inserted into the holding element. This enables aid conductor to be looped through the holding element. The conductor can be clamped by transferring the insulation piercing element and holding element into a closed position.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to protect an electromagnet switching device when a load is switched to a supply voltage. A current that flows through the load contact is monitored. The electric circuit is interrupted when the current exceeds a threshold value that is below the current carrying capacity of the load contact. The electric circuit is automatically closed again after the current which flows through the load contact has decreased.
