A spring-clamp terminal block for connecting an electrical conductor, with a bus bar, a clamping spring, a housing and a lever, wherein the lever has a bearing plate with a partially circular outer contour for mounting the lever in a counter bearing, and wherein the lever has a follower which is designed to move the clamping arm out of a closed position into an open position when the lever is actuated.

A power distributor having a plurality of power distribution modules arranged in a row, for directly mounting on a carrier rail, having a supply module arranged on one end face and a signal module arranged on the opposite end face, and having at least one connection module arranged therebetween. The supply module has a supply connection for a main power line for tapping off a supply power. The connection module is fitted or can be fitted with a protective switch that can be actuated and a plurality of load connections for connecting to an interruptible load circuit by means of the protective switch. The signal module has a first signal connection for a switch signal actuating the protective switch, and the power distribution modules are or can be coupled to each other in an electrically conductive manner.

A multi-phase busbar for conducting electric energy includes: a base layer of an insulating material; a first conducting layer of a sheet metal; a first insulating layer of an insulating material arranged on the first conducting layer; a second conducting layer of a sheet metal arranged on the insulating layer; and a second layer of an electrically insulating material which is arranged on the second conducting layer. The first and/or second insulating layers include spacers, each spacer including a layer of a rigid insulating material. At least one of the spacers is glued to an electrically insulating coating of the first and/or second conducting layer, and/or at least one of the spacers is glued to an electrically conductive surface of an uncoated first and/or second conducting layer by an adhesive.

The invention relates to a rail-mounted building automation device adaptable to space and communication requirements, comprising a communications module having a communications bus, an application module that implements the functionality. A bus connector supplies power and transferring data. The communications module includes a first casing having ten bus connector pins, a lower body with the communications bus, having a wall further forward than another in relation to a user. The application module includes a second casing with a pin-receiving connector having three terminals, a first projection separated from a second projection at approximately the width of the rail, in use when the ten pins are introduced into the receiving connector and an upper body of the first casing is introduced into a third recess of the second casing, with both being joined by a securing apparatus.

A control system and a method for mounting a control system, the control system comprising a signal-distribution board, a top-hat rail, at least a first contact device and at least a second contact device. The first contact device and the second contact device are arranged at the signal-distribution board with an offset relative to each other with the signal-distribution board electrically connecting the first contact device to the second contact device for at least transmitting data. The top-hat rail is mechanically fastened to the signal-distribution board and a first coupling module may be mechanically fastened to the top-hat rail, where the second contact device is embodied to electrically contact a signal-processing module or a second coupling module. The first contact device may be electrically connected to a field device.

A conductor terminal for connecting an electrical conductor by means of spring force clamping, the conductor terminal being configured for mounting on a busbar, the terminal conductor including at least one spring force clamping connection having a clamping spring for clamping the electrical conductor, a housing, which at least partially surrounds the spring force clamping connection and has a conductor insertion opening and a pivotably supported actuation lever, which is configured to actuate at least one part of the clamping spring, a receiving space for receiving at least one section of the busbar onto which the conductor terminal may be mounted, being present in the housing.

A contact and busbar assembly forms a bus system on electronics housings arranged in an array. An electronics assembly such as a circuit board is arranged in each housing. The contact and busbar assembly includes multiple bus plugs each having first connecting contacts for contacting a respective circuit board, second terminal contacts in the form of one or more socket contacts and power rail strips. The power rail strips have at least one flexibly deformable section or are continuously flexibly deformable. Alternatively, the socket contacts are insertable not only parallel but also obliquely in relation to the power rail strips extending in the direction of the array for contact by the socket contacts.

A sensor device for a terminal block arrangement, wherein the sensor device comprises at least one sensor for measuring a physical quantity of the terminal block arrangement or at least one terminal block of the terminal block arrangement.

A connection module for mounting on a busbar module or several busbar modules extending in a longitudinal direction includes: a housing, a rear side of which is mounted or mountable on the busbar module or busbar modules; a crossbar, movable on a first longitudinal side of the rear side of the housing transversely to the longitudinal direction, so as to provide a positive-locking connection of the connection module to the busbar module or the busbar modules in a mounted position of the connection module; and a latching profile on a second longitudinal side, opposite the first longitudinal side, of the rear side of the housing, the latching profile providing a positive-locking connection of the connection module to the busbar module or the busbar modules in the mounted position.
