Abstract
The invention relates to a distribution block for telecommunications and data technology, in particular for the main distribution frame of telephone and data lines, having contact springs 1. The springs are arranged in the interior of the modular distribution block and are formed from connection contacts 7, 8, using insulation-piercing terminal technology (insulation-displacement contacts) in the front and rear side of the block and from a telecommunications contact 22 in the central region. A pick-off contact 19 is formed in the front region of the contact spring 1. A distribution block of the generic type is provided which contains an uncomplicated contact element and on which the wire routing is improved and in which reliable fitting of the cable wires is ensured. The contact spring 1 is formed from a base part 3 and a contact spring part 2 fitted to it, fixing points 4 for the longitudinal direction and an opening 6 for the fitted contact spring part 2 to pass through being provided in the central region of the base part 3. A hole 5 is arranged in the front region of the base part 3 in order to fix the position of the contact spring part 2 to be fitted.
