Abstract:
1. A connection device with circuit integrity in case of fire where the connection device is configured for tapping into a flat cable without stripping a cable insulation where the flat cable is configured with plural high power current strands extending parallel and offset from one another in a plane, wherein the connecting device reaches about the flat cable and comprises contact screws that are configured to be screwed into the flat cable, where a respective pair of contact screws is provided for the respective high power current strands, wherein the two contact screws of a pair are arranged so that one contact screw contacts one side of a conductor of the high power current strand and another contact screw contacts another side of the conductor of the high power current strand when the flat cable is connected, wherein the two contact screws of a pair clamp the high power current strand between one another and a cohesion of the contact screws and the high power current strand is also provided when the entire cable insulation has burned off, wherein the contact screws respectively comprise threads so that the conductor of the high power current strand is laterally clamped by the two contact screws with the threads.
