  • Patent number: 6034865
    Abstract: Arrangement for connecting power supply lines to an electronic device and a cubicle with such an arrangement The invention concerns an arrangement for connecting power supply lines (14, 24, 25) to an electronic device with terminals (4), forming the end of a rigid electric conductor (2), a plurality of which is arranged side-by-side in a receiving device (1) and combined with said device to form a terminal unit, as well as a cubicle with such an arrangement. The terminals (4) can be arranged offset in relation to one another and can be easily removed due to a two-part design of the rigid electric conductor (2). The novel arrangement advantageously provides low-loss and compact connection of power supply lines to an electronic device, making it also possible to supply an extension device in parallel. The invention is applied in electronic cubicles.
