Abstract
A central current distribution arrangement, especially for motor vehicles, for the connection of electric feed lines with electric components of a carrier plate arranged in a casing. Openings are provided in at least one casing longitudinal wall or in at least one casing transverse wall for the passage of electric connecting elements. The openings extend through outward projecting first coupling arrangements, which are preferably molded onto the casing in one piece. Second coupling arrangements are provided with electric contact elements which are connected to electric lines. The method coupling arrangements are coupled to the first coupling arrangements. At least one sealing ring is disposed between a first and a second coupling element, and at least one sealing ring is disposed between an electric line and one associated second coupling arrangement to assure a moisture-proof and watertight arrangement of each first and second coupling arrangement. The casing includes a cover and a casing trough with a sealing ring being disposed between the cover and the casing trough.
