Abstract

A power strip including plug housings, in which first contact elements can be connected to second contact elements of an electrically actuatable unit. The electically actuatable units are movable with play in a mounted state relative to the power strip housing. In the power strip, one damping element is disposed between each plug housing and the power strip housing, and in engine operation this damping element damps the motions of the plug housing relative to the power strip housing or of the first electrically conductive contact elements relative to the second electrically conductive contact elements, and thus prevents excessive wear at the contact elements. The embodiment of the power strip is particularly suitable for supplying electrical power jointly to electrically actuatable fuel injection valves.
