Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0370380A2] The connecting member (1) comprises a U-shaped part (2), the legs (3) of which merge in each case into a planarly widened end part (5) which has receiving slits (4) for wire ends, which slits are mutually opposite in two at least approximately parallel planes, resilient, mutually opposite contact tongues (6) projecting from the end parts (5) to the side of the legs (3), each of which contact tongues carries at its free end a contact face (7), which lie against one another with predetermined pressure under the effect of the spring tension of the contact tongues (6). A connecting member of this type can be used in a coupling device (10) both as a through contact and as a break contact. <IMAGE>
