Abstract
An electrical modular terminal, especially for latching onto a mounting rail, with a base terminal (2) and with at least one plug (3, 4), the base terminal (2) having a terminal housing (7) which made of insulating material, at least one terminal element (8, 9) located in it and at least two sockets which are electrically connected to the terminal element (8, 9) or to terminal elements (8, 9), the plug (3, 4) having a plug housing (13, 14) which is made of insulating material, at least one terminal element (15) located therein and a plug-in contact which is electrically connected to the at least one terminal element (15), and the at least one plug (3, 4) being mechanically connected by means of a fastener to the terminal housing (7) of the base terminal (2). The at least on plug can be plugged into the two sockets of the base terminal (2), and in addition, there is mechanical attachment of the plugs (3, 4) and the base terminal (2), an interlock recess (19) being formed in the terminal housing (7) of the base terminal (2) between the two sockets for receiving the fastener an the plug (3, 4) plugged into the inner one of the two sockets for mechanically connecting it to the terminal…
