Abstract

An overvoltage protection magazine includes a plastic housing, electric contacts, overvoltage protection elements, and at least one contact edge. The electric contacts are disposed in the plastic housing and have an insertion region and a contact region. The electric contacts are disposed in a row in the insertion region. The plastic housing has receptacles for the overvoltage protection elements, which are disposed on both sides (e.g., Left and Right) along the longitudinal direction. The contact regions of the electric contacts protrude into the respective receptacles and establish a first electric contact to the respective overvoltage protection element. The contact edge has spring contact elements in the region of the receptacles, which establish the second contact to the overvoltage protection element.
