Insulation displacement contact as well as terminal block or module and terminal block with an insulation displacement contact

摘要

The contact arrangement includes a contact spring (12) with two springy contact thighs (20) which define a contact slot (30), and an U-shaped spring (14) which is formed as a component separate from the contact spring. The U-shaped spring has thighs (28) which surround, and proceed largely vertically to cutting- and isolating areas of the contact thighs. The contact thighs are preferably bent in an area (24) remote from their end (22) in such a way, that they proceed, at least in a section largely parallel to each other with the help of the spring when opening the contact slot. The U-shaped spring comprises largely disk-shaped thighs, which surround the cutting- and isolating areas of the contact thighs over a longer area.
