  • Patent number: 9831570
    Abstract: A terminal strip for latching onto a mounting rail includes a terminal housing that has a first connection side and a second connection side and a busbar arranged in the terminal housing. At least two conductor connection elements are arranged in the terminal housing. The conductor connection elements each connect at least one conductor to the busbar. Each conductor connection element has a first function shaft having at least one plug-in connection receiving region and at least a second function shaft having at least one screw-connection receiving region arranged on each of the two connection sides of the terminal housing. One connection region is formed for each plug-connection receiving region and for each screw-connection receiving region in the busbar. The function shafts of one connection side are arranged in a manner spaced apart from one another.

  • Patent number: 9153916
    Abstract: An electrical series terminal having a terminal housing, conductor connector elements, and current bars, the current bars each having a connector section and a first contact section, the connector sections being assigned to a conductor connector element and the first contact sections together forming a resilient contact region to receive the plug of the test or power plug. A switchable transverse bridge is producible by each current bar having a second contact section, two further current bar pieces being arranged in the terminal housing, and a recess being formed in a current bar piece for insertion of a branch of a jumper. A current bar piece is assigned to a respective current bar so that the second contact section of a current bar is connected to the assigned current bar piece when no plug is inserted and is spaced from the assigned current bar piece when a plug is inserted.
