Terminal block of modular construction clipped to rails - has spring-loaded contact brackets with each limb divided into prongs

摘要

A terminal block of modular construction which can be clipped onto rails. Several of the blocks can be joined in a row by dovetailing the sides. Each module consists of rigid insulating material with slots or elevations at the sides and cutouts for clipping on to support rails. The support rail is U shaped and each block contains spring loaded contact brackets. Each contact bracket has two prongs with the free ends folded through 90 deg. The upright sections of the free ends are again split into two and engage in slots in the block. The prongs parallel to the base are joined at the front end with an inward projection which engage in another cutout.
