Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, stricter requirements, such as, in particular, higher current-carrying capabilities, lead to more and more restrictions on conventional contact designs of such
In particular, the simultaneous pulling out of several contact elements inserted in the recesses of the corresponding contact elements produces relatively large withdrawal forces, so that it is impossible to separate such a plug-in connection by hand, or only with great difficulty only possible

Embodiment Construction

[0039] figure 1 and 2 as well as image 3 and 4 Different partial perspective views of the contact element 100 and the associated counter contact element 190 are shown in each case before and after producing the electrical plug connection. The corresponding transverse cross-sectional views of the two contact elements 100, 190 before and after the connecting operation are further shown in Figure 5 and 6 middle. Two contact elements 100, 190 made of electrically conductive or metallic material (eg copper alloy) which can be plugged together can be configured for high current-carrying capacities, therefore, especially in the case of motor circuit breakers of modular construction , for detachably electrically connecting the various components or modules of the motor circuit breaker together. Such use of contact elements 100, 190 will be combined below Figure 8-19 discussed in further detail. Refer below Figure 1-6 The description first concerns the details and features o...

Abstract

The invention relates to a contact element (100) especially used in a trigger module(200) of a motor circuit breaker. The contact element (100) comprises a pedestal part(110) and a clamp-shaped spring part (120) arranged on the pedestal part(110). The pedestal part(110) comprises a first side surface(111) and a second side surface(112) positioned relative to the first side surface(111), the spring part (120) comprises a first spring part(121) arranged in the first side surface region of the pedestal part(110) and a second spring part(121) arranged in the second side surface region of the pedestal part(110), and the first and second spring parts(121, 122) possess the partial parts (131,132) extended according to wedge-shapes and relative to each other. Moreover, the invention also relates to a system comprising the contact element and corresponding elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a contact element, in particular for a tripping module of a motor circuit breaker. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising such a contact element and a corresponding contact element. Background technique [0002] Contact elements and associated counter contact elements are known in various embodiments for the production of electrical plug connectors. The requirements vary depending on the application and this concerns a corresponding configuration of the contact elements. [0003] In the case of motor circuit breakers of modular construction, in which the individual modules are contacted to each other by means of mutually matched contact elements, for example, a high current-carrying capacity and simple fitting together and pulling of the contact elements are required. A known contact element for this purpose comprises a base part and a spring part arranged on the base part, the spring part having a curved s...
