Abstract
Abstract A device for an electrical conduit ( 20 ), a heating conductor ( 21 ), or heating cable, with a cross subdivided, tubular casing ( 6 ) is furnished. The device exhibits two casing parts ( 8,9,58 ) disengageably connected to each other, a bush part ( 42 ) and at least a contact bolt ( 48 ) disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the casing ( 6 ). A cage tension spring ( 38 ) is disposed at the contact bolt ( 48 ) of the bush part ( 42 ) for connecting of conduit wires. A connection bolt ( 37 ) is furnished between the floor ( 32 ) of a case ( 28 ) and the case tension spring ( 38 ) for the contacting of a conduit braided screen ( 33 ).
