Abstract

An electrical series terminal includes a first connecting portion which is connected via a first associate current bar to a first functional contact and a second connection portion being connected via a second associate current bar to a second functional contact. A functional zone is provided between the first connection portion and the second connection portion. The functional zone is configured to selectively and alternately receive and contact a plurality of functional elements such that when at least one functional element is introduced to the functional zone, the at least one functional element can be connected to the first and second functional contact. On the sides of the functional zone, a first and second connecting shaft are provided on the first and second connection sections.
