Connection box for modular system of bus=bar supplied loads e.g. for control engineering

Abstract: A connection box for a modular system of busbar supplied loads incorporates contacts capable of heavy current transfer to their connected electrical equipment. Figure 1 shows the three modules (2 2' 2") mounted as a block (1) each carrying a robust connection box (3) with a hinged cover (4), two of which are raised and the third closed. Each module (2 2' 2") has projecting vertical contact tongues (7, 7') which enter the base of the connection box housing and locate on either side of the relevant busbar (5 5' 5") which are themselves supported in the slots of transverse insulating barriers. A heavy duty connection is established by closing and locking the cover (4) when U-shaped spring clamps (b) are firmly pressed over the contacts (7, 7').

T-shaped shielded bus connector

Abstract: The invention describes a T-shaped bus connector comprising a holding device for mechanically retaining the T-shaped bus connector on a mounting device on which the T-shaped bus connector is to be arranged, and further comprises a first and a second connecting unit for respectively producing an electrical connection to a complementary connecting unit of a device arranged adjacent to the bus connector, wherein the first and second connecting units face in substantially opposing directions and are constructed complementarily to one another, as well as a third connecting unit, oriented substantially perpendicular to the first and second connecting units, for producing an electrical connection to a connecting unit, complementary to the third connecting unit, of an electrical or electronic module, wherein data and/or power bus lines are run between all three connecting units, and all three connecting units are covered at least in part with a shielding material.

Electrical components arrangement for over-voltage protection system, has pluggable connections for electrical connection of combining components provided on auxiliary pluggable parts

Abstract: An arrangement for electrical components in which the pluggable parts (2) have a receptacle (16) for the mutually exchangeable auxiliary pluggable components (3) in which a part of the components of the overvoltage system are arranged, and can be combined with the remaining components which are arranged in the pluggable parts (2). Pluggable connections (21) are available in the receptacles (16) of the pluggable parts (2) and corresponding pluggable connections (22) for electrical connection of the mutually combinable components are available on auxiliary pluggable parts (3).

Overvoltage protection element for telecommunication circuits

Abstract: An overvoltage protection element comprises at least two plate-shaped electrodes (1) and a spark gap between them. In this gap, to release a flashover, there is an ignition aid (4), which occupies only a small part of the space. It is shaped like the web of a beam and acts at the same time as a spacer between the electrodes. It is made of plastic with low resistance to surface leakage currents. This plastic releases electronegative gas under the influence of an arc. All together, there may be three such elements between the electrodes, distributed at 120 degrees to each other. There may be a third electrode (5) at a different distance from the second electrode compared to the first one.

Process and device for the packet-oriented transmission of security-relevant data

Abstract: The present invention relates to the packet-oriented transmission of security-relevant data. One task of the invention is the provision of a way for the packet-oriented transmission of security-relevant data ensuring —under the guarantee of a considerably enhanced user data rate —a high level of protection against statistical and systematic errors with an insecure transmission medium. The invention provides, particularly for the use of at least one parallel and/or serial network and/or bus system, a process and devices for the packet-oriented transmission of security-relevant data allowing the transmission of security-relevant data and a redundant information that is based on the data in different packets.
