Circuit Board Arrangement and Electric Connection Module

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit board arrangement and to an electric connection module having a carrier module and at least one electric contact, and to an attachment module, wherein the invention provides that the attachment module is used for the protection against the touch of the at least one electric contact, and is made of an elastic plastic, and wherein further the carrier module is provided for accommodating the at least one electric contact. For this purpose the carrier module is made of another temperature-resistant plastic in order to be suitable for a soldering process at high temperatures. During the soldering process, at least one electric contact can be soldered to a circuit board.

Method for producing a screw connection terminal

Abstract: A method for producing a screw connection terminal includes providing a flat metal. The method includes forming a conductor insertion opening into a longitudinal lateral surface of the flat metal. The method includes driving apart the material of the flat metal so as to introduce an eyelet opening into an end face surface of the flat metal. A diameter of the eyelet opening is larger than a thickness of the flat metal in a region of the conductor insertion opening. The method also includes introducing a thread into the eyelet opening.

Clamping device for connecting a conductor without stripping the insulation

Abstract: Disclosed is a clamping device for connecting a conductor without stripping the insulation. Said clamping device comprises a housing (14) and an actuating part (22) which is movably mounted therein and is provided with a duct (26) accommodating the conductor (50) that is to be clamped. A blade contact (18.1) is provided which encompasses a rear web (32) and two spring legs (36) that are placed at an angle therefrom. The spring legs (36) are fitted with contacting blades (48) on final edges that run into each other. Said contacting blades (48) penetrate the duct (26) and contact the conductor (50) accommodated therein while cutting the insulation thereof when the actuating part (22) is transferred into the contacting position thereof. A second contact piece (18.2) is provided which is electrically connected to the blade contact (18.1). The blade contact (18.1) and the second contact piece (18.2) are configured as a monolithic contact element (18) as a result of the fact that spring arms (34) whose ends are formed into a contact tube or a tulip contact (40) are placed at an angle from the rear web (32) of the blade contact (18.1) in addition to the spring legs (36).

Input circuit for an input component and method for operating same

Abstract: The input circuit (100) has a signal input circuit (110) having a single-channel peripheral connection for connecting a signal generator for providing input signal (INO) to signal input circuit via a coupling element (IC1). The signal input circuit is electrically connected to a reference voltage circuit (140) for providing a reference voltage (URef). A comparator circuit (130) is arranged between signal input circuit and coupling element, for enabling and disabling of coupling element depending on the current, input signal and reference voltage which is input to signal input circuit. An independent claim is included for operating method of input circuit.
