TERMINAL BLOCK, CONNECTION APPARATUS WHICH IS FORMED WITH SAID TERMINAL BLOCK, AND FIELD DEVICE HAVING A CONNECTION APPARATUS OF THIS KIND

摘要

The terminal block (10) serves to electrically connect a connection line which has at least two cores (L1, L2) and is laid outside an electronics housing (H). To this end, the terminal block comprises a main body (100) which is composed, at least in portions, of an electrically insulating plastic which has, in particular, a dielectric strength which complies with a European Standard EN 60947-1, a connection terminal (K1), which is arranged on a first side of the main body, which first side forms a first connection side of the terminal block, for a core (L1) of the connection line, and also at least one connection terminal (K2), which is arranged on the first side of the main body at a lateral distance from the connection terminal (K1), for a core (L2) of the connection line. In addition, the terminal block comprises a connection electrode (S1), which is arranged on a second side of the main body, which second side forms a second connection side of the terminal block, and is in the form of, for example, a contact pin or a contact socket, and also a connection electrode (S2) which is arranged on the second side of the main body at a lateral distance from the connection electrode (S1) and is in the form of, for example, a contact pin or a contact socket. Particularly for the purpose of forming a switching output which conforms with the European Standard EN 60947-5-6:2000, a resistor element (R1), of which a first connection is electrically connected to the connection terminal (K1) and a second connection is electrically connected to the connection electrode (S1), and also a resistor element (R2), of which a first connection is electrically connected to the connection terminal (K1) or to the connection electrode (S1) and a second connection is electrically connected both to the connection terminal (K2) and also to the connection electrode (S2), are arranged within the main body.
