Connecting terminal and/or junction terminal having an external protective-earth conductor connector

摘要

The invention relates to a connecting terminal and/or junction terminal for electrical apparatuses, in the case of which apparatuses the sheet-metal parts or metal parts of the electrical apparatus are included in the protective measures via a protective-earth conductor connector which is passed out of the terminal housing. A connector is proposed which has two connecting limbs which extend away from the terminal, are separated from one another by means of a slot (which is of detectable width and extends away from the terminal) and can be pressed by means of their respective contact ends into a plug mounting opening in the sheet-metal or metal parts of the electrical apparatus, it being possible easily to inspect the condition of the slot visually to determine whether the protective-earth conductor connection has been carried out correctly, and a special toothed profile on the outer edges of the contact ends ensuring that they always make contact reliably with the sheet-metal or metal parts of the electrical apparatus. <IMAGE>
