Protective cap for a mains connecting terminal

摘要

In the case of electrical apparatuses using printed circuit board technology and having a mains connection, the mains connecting terminal for screwing the mains cable on is located on a printed circuit board and is electrically connected to conductor track runs. Electric-shock protection is necessary for this area which carries the mains voltage. To this end, it is proposed to construct the protection device integrally with a first part (which is constructed in the form of a box and is provided with latching means) and with a second part (which is likewise constructed in the form of a box), one side wall of the second part being formed by a wall part which is connected in an articulated manner both to the first part and to the second part, by means of one hinge in each case.
