ABSTRACT:
Contact component. Attached to a base part (5), the contact component (1) has a clamping adapter (3) and a fork spring contact (6) with which it can be plugged onto pin-shaped mating contacts (14, 15, 16). With respect to an axis of symmetry, proceeding in plug-in direction, of the fork spring contact to be contacted with the mating contact, an offset (v1 or v2) is provided for a clamping point (4) of the clamping adapter (3) in a first direction proceeding perpendicularly to the axis of symmetry and in a second direction proceeding perpendicularly to the first direction and to the axis of symmetry (2). Each contact component (1) is firmly inserted in various positions in a base housing part. This occurs in reception chambers which are provided in the shape of a grid at a certain dividing distance. The insertion in various positions of the contact components (1) provided with the offset enables the generation of contact configurations for the contact pins of electrical modular units or components which deviate from the arrangement of the reception chambers. For example, component contact pins arranged in one line can be converted to a mating contact arrangement aligned in a triangular shape. Generally, a conversion from a line to a grid is possible, or respectively, from a one grid to another grid with a different spacing. This feature also encompasses the expanding of two pin rows having a preset distance to two pin rows having a large distance from one another and vice versa.
