Patent ID: 8556665

Claim:
An arrangement for electrically contacting an electrical component, in particular, a capacitor for a power converter of a rail vehicle wherein the electrical component has a protruding pin for applying and/or positioning parts of the arrangement in order to produce the electrical contact, and wherein the arrangement comprises: a) a first element having a first through-hole extending in a longitudinal direction through the element for inserting the pin, b) a second element having a second through-hole extending in a longitudinal direction through the element for inserting the pin, c) a contact sheet, made of an electrically conducting material, that has a contact sheet end region used to produce the electrical contact with the electrical component wherein the contact sheet end region has a slot extending from one free end into the contact sheet end region, this slot being wide enough to accommodate the pin, and d) a fastening element; wherein the first element and/or the second element is formed of an electrically conducting material; wherein the first element has a first surface and the second element has a second surface; wherein the first element and/or the second element has at least one region protruding parallel to the longitudinal direction, this region having a contact surface facing the through-hole; and wherein, when the arrangement is assembled: the contact sheet end region makes contact with one side to the first surface and a second side opposite the first side makes contact to the second surface such that the contact sheet end region is accommodated in a sandwich-like fashion between the first and second surfaces; the contact sheet end region makes contact with a surface region running between the first side and the second side with the contact surface of the first and/or second element; the pin extends perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface through the first element, the slot of the contact sheet end region and the second element; and the fastening element is supported on the pin and presses the first and the second surfaces against the contact sheet end region.
