摘要:
A discrete wire insulation displacement connector having a terminal (16) including an insulation displacement contact (46) comprising a pair of blades (48) defined by a line of cut (50). The edges of the contact ride in a guide channel in the connector housing (14). The housing (14) includes a pair of opposed sidewalls (18) joined by a pair of opposed spaced webs (40). A tapered access to the connector is defined by at least one-flexible prong (24) integrally joined to the upper edge (22) of each of the connector's sidewalls and turned inwardly in opposed relationship. The trailing edges (26) of the prongs (24) cooperate with the upper edges (42) of the webs (40) to create an improved strain relief.
摘要:
An electrical connection to a flat metal conductor (35) in which a terminal tab (12) pierces completely through a conductor (35) from a first side to a second side and a bifurcated portion (15) integrally joined to the tab (12) extends past the conductor (35) with a pair of tines (16) curled back on themselves penetrating the second side of the conductor (35) and straddling the tab (12) which lies in a plane parallel to the axis of curl. Portions of the conductor (35) engaging the edges of the tab (12) are pushed out of the plane of the conductor (35) in wedging engagement with adjacent edges of the respective tines (16). The terminal (11) is stamped and formed in one-piece and the tab (12) and the bifurcated portion (15) extend in parallel planes in the same direction axially of a socket and are joined by a transverse bridging portion (14).
摘要:
An electrical connector comprising an insulating housing (11) receiving two contacts (22) having wire receiving slots (24) at one face of the housing (11) and pairs of resilient contact arms (23) at the other face of the housing (11) adapted and arranged electrically to connect to the electrodes (29) of a wedge-base lamp (28). Resilient fingers (19, 21) integrally formed with the housing (11) extend across the slot mouths (25) enabling wires to be trapped in the mouths (25) prior to insertion in a wire connecting portion (26) of the slot (24). This enables harnesses to be traced on panel boards (31) prior to connection.
摘要:
The connector comprises a housing (110) having an infeed opening (112) for an electrically-insulated wire. The housing (110) accommodates a fixed contact (114), a pivotally mounted pressure lever (116) acted upon by a compression spring (134) and a pivotally mounted operating member (118) having a cam surface (132) engageable with the pressure lever. The fixed contact (114) and the pressure lever (116) both have co-operating, longitudinally-offset, insulation-penetrating parts (120 and 126). Pivotable movement of the operating member (118) from a first to a second position moves the pressure lever (116) against the action of the spring (134) into a position (as shown in the Figure) in which the penetrating parts (120 and 126) cut into the insulation of a wire extending through the infeed opening (112) and grip the wire in a manner which electrically connects the conductor of the wire to the fixed contact (114). Preferably the pressure lever (116) is mounted so that it can automatically compensate for different wire conductor diameters.
摘要:
A multigauge-multiwire terminal includes a first split cylinder portion (60) providing a pair of jaws (76, 77) defining a continuous wire receiving slot and a second rib cage portion (65) providing a plurality of opposing resilient ribs (70-75) aligned to provide a discontinuous slot. In use a wire (152) is inserted laterally of its length into the continuous slot, the jaws of which slice through the insulation on the wire and grippingly engages it. The insertion of another wire (151) displaces the first inserted wire into the discontinuous slot in which it is gripped by the opposing ribs which generally provide for a three point contact with the conductor portion.
摘要:
An electrical connector particularly of the insulation displacement type. It comprises an electrically insulated main body, provided with a connector arm slidably mounted through the body to project from the body at either end. The connector arm has a pair of accessible holes for receiving a wire pair to be shorted in the connector to complete an electrical circuit. An electrically conductive element defining a pair of opposed slits aligned to be in the path of travel of the wire receiving holes, are mounted in the body, the conductive element forming a passageway in which the connector arm slides. Acutation of the connector arm moves the wire pair through the slit which is dimensioned to sever the wire insulation and short the wire pair through the metallic plates. To release the wire pair the connector arm is moved in the opposite direction and the connector is then reusable.
摘要:
A connector, for use for connection of local conductors to a distribution cable, in telephone systems, has a body in which are a plurality of recesses. Insulation displacing terminals are positioned in the recesses, the lower part of each terminal connecting to a cable conductor. Connector members are pushed into the recesses by a trapped screw in each connector member. Local conductors are inserted into transverse passages or bores and as a connector member is pushed down, the top ends of the terminals pass up into the connector member and make contact with the conductive cores of the conductors. Particularly, a connector can be a single unit with two recesses; a unitary body with a plurality of pairs of recesses, or a plurality of units each with two recesses.
摘要:
A connector (20) for establishing electrical contact with a high count twisted pair cable (10) is formed of a wiring block (22) which telescopes into a receptacle (24). The leading edges (22a, 22b) of the wiring block in conjunction with the scalloped trailing edge (30, 32) of the receptacle form a shear for cutting the conductors (14) assembled in the wiring block to length.
