Abstract:
A modular female electrical terminal (10) includes a receptacle portion (12) for receiving a male electrical terminal. A first module comprises a base member (16) formed of a first material and having a first thickness. The base member (16) preferably provides the principal current flowpath through the female terminal (10). A second module comprises a cover member which is formed of a second material having a second thickness. The cover member is secured to the base member in a overlying relationship so as to define in cooperation with the base member (16) a cavity (20) suitable for receiving the desired male terminal shape. At least one of the first module or the second module includes means (24) for biasing the male electrical terminal into electrical and frictional contact with the receptacle portion (12) of the terminal (10). The base member (16) includes side walls extending toward the cover member to define the cavity (20).
Abstract:
A card connector (4) having a housing (10), signal contacts (12) and a four bladed ground contact (14). The housing (10) has a card edge receiving area (20). The signal contacts (12) are connected to the housing (10) and the four bladed ground contact (14) is also connected to the housing (10). The four bladed ground contact (14) has a one piece frame with two pairs of opposing contact blades (202) on opposite sides of the card edge receiving area (20) in the housing (10).
Abstract:
A wedge connector provided with an insulating covering, comprising: an external C-shaped member (2), having two first curved wings (10), the respective bottoms (12) of which are mutually inclined; a wedge member (6) having two mutually inclined concave active edges (14); and at least one intermediate member (4) which [i] comprises electrically conducting material; [ii] is adapted to be located between the external member (2) and the wedge member (6); [iii] is provided with a plurality of perforating teeth (22); and [iv] surrounds in part at least one portion of a conductor (20) disposed between the wedge member (6) and the intermediate member (4).
Abstract:
An electrical connector (10) comprising a housing part (12), a cap part (14), and a clamp screw (16). The housing part (12) has a conductor receiving channel (18) formed therein. The cap part (14) is removable connected to the housing part (12). The clamp screw (16) is threadably mounted to the cap part (14) to clamp a first conductor (100) located in the conductor receiving channel (18) of the housing part to the housing (12). The clamp screw (16) has means for connecting a second conductor (200) to an insulated portion of the first conductor (100). The connecting means comprise the clamp screw (16) having a contact surface (66) disposed to capture a terminal (204) of the second conductor (200) between the contact surface and the first conductor.
Abstract:
A wedge connector with a shell (10) and a wedge (12). The shell (10) has insulation piercing sections (46) to pierce through insulation of electrical conductor cables (A, B). The wedge has a frame and piercing supports movably attached to the frame. The piercing supports pierce through insulation of the cables such that conductors in the cables are directly contacted by both the shell and the wedge.
Abstract:
An electric connector (1) having an insulating casing (3) defining a number of cavities (6) for housing respective electric terminals (7); a retaining lever (35) carried by the casing (3) and having a first retaining tooth (37) which snaps onto a second retaining tooth (36) carried by a connecting element (1') connectable to the connector (1); and connecting means (34) connecting the retaining lever (35) in oscillating manner to the casing (3) to enable release of the first and second retaining tooth (37, 36) and disconnection of the connector (1) and the connecting element (1'); the connecting means (34) having a beam element (38), which is fitted integrally at opposite ends to an outer wall (11) of the casing (3), carries the retaining lever (35), and extends crosswise to the retaining lever (35).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrical plug connection comprising a plug housing, a contact housing 1 complementary to the plug housing and a transverse slide 5 for locking the plug housing in the contact housing 1. At least one spring element 40, 41 acts on at least one movable carriage 25, said spring element exerting an increasing stress on the slide 5 during the closing of the latter and pushing it back into its open position in the event of an incomplete closing operation. The slide 5 is locked in its closed position only on complete closure.
Abstract:
A connector (10) having a frame (20) with an upper arm (22) and a lower arm (24) cantilevered from a center section (26) to form a channel (28) adapted to receive a section of a structural steel member. The frame (20) has a conductor receiving area (80) to receive a conductor therein. The conductor receiving area (80) is located so that when the upper arm (22) and the lower arm (24) are compressed to grip the section of the structural steel member received in the channel (28), the conductor located in the conductor receiving area (80) is crimped to the frame (20).
Abstract:
Le montage d'un connecteur possédant deux rangées de contacts à report à plat parallèles (5,6), à mettre en contact de part et d'autre d'un circuit imprimé (3) nécessite de placer correctement chacune des rangées de chaque côté du circuit imprimé. Pour réussir à placer correctement les rangées de contacts à report à plat de part et d'autre d'un circuit imprimé, on propose de placer l'une après l'autre les rangées de contacts à report à plat sur le circuit imprimé. On associe les deux rangées de contacts du connecteur par l'intermédiaire d'une clé de guidage (4). Chaque rangée de contacts à report à plat est fixée à un module (1,2). L'assemblage des modules réalisé par la clé de guidage forme le connecteur.
