Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9116743A1] The contact properties of plug elements deteriorate even with slight twists. By using elastic intermediate, current-transmitting elements, a relative insensitivity to twists is obtained. In order to reliably secure the intermediate elements to bearing or current-carrying-off elements, however high costs are incurred. In order to eliminate the disadvantages of the state of the art and to obtain good contact properties with a reliable fastening, the contact bars are imbedded in a plug shell in such a way that they are located in window-like openings and engage slots by their edges. The current is led by contact tabs that protrude from the plug shell. The plug shell is composed of two identical halves which may be interconnected by interlocking and by adherence without any additional fastening elements. With these plug elements, a reliable contact of busbars is easily obtained and it becomes possible to supply with load current plug-in racks of distribution boards with plug-in racks and reduced plugging forces. Besides other advantages, this plug element is rugged and easy to mount.
