Arrangement for forming a thermal isolation point
The invention relates to an arrangement for forming a thermal isolation point, consisting of an isolation strip to which a prestressing force can be applied, an electrical means which produces thermal energy and has a contact surface, in particular in the form of an overvoltage protection element or a component of such an element, as well as an integral connection means, which changes when heated in a defined manner in the aggregate state, in particular a solder. According to the invention, an adapter part is provided between the isolation strip and the contact surface of the electrical means, wherein the adapter part can on the one hand be connected to the contact surface in a purely interlocking and/or force-fitting manner, and on the other hand is connected in a manner which can provide thermal isolation integrally to the isolation strip.
1. Arrangement for forming a thermal isolation point, consisting of an isolation strip to which a preloading force can be applied, an overvoltage protection element or a component thereof which produces thermal energy and has a contact surface and a material-closed connection means changing the aggregate state when heated in a defined manner, in particular a solder,
characterized in that
an adapter part is provided between the isolation strip and the contact surface of the overvoltage protection element or a component thereof, wherein the adapter part comprises at least a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the adapter part is connected to the isolation strip in a thermally disconnectable manner, and wherein the second surface of the adapter part includes a connector that is mechanically engageable with the contact surface of the overvoltage protection element.
2. Arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the adapter part is formed of a heat-conducting material.
3. Arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the adapter part is connected to the isolation strip by soldering and, to this end, has an optimized material composition and/or soldering surface.
4. Arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the connector of the adapter part comprises at least one crimp section or bent section which receives at least one connecting lug of the overvoltage protection element or a component thereof.
5. Arrangement according to claim 4 , characterized in that the connector of the adapter part is formed as a single or multiple female disconnect.
6. Arrangement according to claim 4 , characterized in that at least two crimp sections or bent sections are provided opposite each other in one plane so as to receive on both sides at least one connecting lug of the overvoltage protection element or a component thereof.
7. Arrangement according to claim 1 , characterized in that the adapter part has a lower thermal capacity relative to the formation of the material-closed connection to the isolation strip.
