Abstract:
In multipole connecting terminal for electrical conductors with a plastic receptacle block (10); with a plastic contact block (12), which can be set onto the receptacle block (10); with receiving channels (14) for the conductors (15), which start at one end surface (16) of the receptacle block (10) and lead into the receptacle block (10), and which are arrayed in a first row (14.2) and a parallel second row (14.2) a certain distance apart; with contact channels (18), which start at the surface of the receptacle block (10) facing the contact block (12) and extend into the receptacle block (10), where each contact channel (18) intersects an associated receiving channel (14) at a right angle; and with insulation displacement contacts (20), which are arranged in the contact block (12) and which project from the surface of the contact block (12) facing the receptacle block (10) in an arrangement corresponding to the arrangement of the contact channels (18), these contacts being of such a length that, when the contact block (12) is set down onto the receptacle block (10), the insulation displacement contacts (20) are able to pass through the contact channels (18) of the receptacle block (10) and make contact with the conductors (15), which have been introduced into the receiving channels (14), characterized in that the receptacle block (10) has a first component block (10.1) and a second component block (10.2), which are produced as separate injection-molded parts and which are assembled with a parting plane (24) extending between the first row of receiving channels (14.1) and the second row of receiving channels (14.2), said contact channels (18) being arranged in two rows which are separated from each other by a certain distance in the axial direction of the receiving channels (14), one row of contact channels (18.1) being assigned to the receiving channels (14.1) of the first component block (10.1), the second row of contact channels (18.2) being assigned to the receiving channels (14.2) of the second component block (10.2), and in wherein the insulation displacement contacts are arranged in two corresponding rows (20.1, 20.2).
