Abstract:
A radially resilient connector (29) is fixedly mounted at one end in a cup shaped recess (442) in a terminal (440). A cap (444) is fixed over the other end of the connector and rotated with respect to the terminal to angularly offset the opposed ends of the contact member of the connector (29). The cap is then fixed to the terminal. In one aspect, the connector (29) has two outer sleeves (470, 472) mounted over opposite ends. A tab (474) on one sleeve engages an aperture in the other sleeve after one of the sleeves is angularly offset with respect to the other sleeve (478). In another aspect, an inner sleeve (428) of the connector is formed with an electrically insulating material, radially extending projection (430) extending therefrom dividing the outer sleeve into two separate conductive parts. An electrical circuit connected to one of the outer sleeves causes current to flow through the contact member to the other sleeve portion to generate heat within the connector. The connector is also useable in a disconnect by connecting two contacts (328, 330) spaceably mounted on an insulating member (332) in a housing (320) and connected to separate external circuits. A cartridge insertion tool (350) is also disclosed for mounting a connector cartridge (29) and a bore (376) and a use element (378).
Abstract:
A radiotelephone (50) includes front and back housings (52, 54), a printed circuit board (56) disposed between the housings, and a battery (64) having a pair of terminals (66) secured to the back housing (54). A pair of fasteners (10) secure the front and back housings (52, 54) together while sandwiching the printed circuit board (56) therebetween and at the same time, provide an electrical connection between the battery terminals (66) and conductive strips (68) formed on the printed circuit board (56).

Abstract:
Anschlussklemme (100) zum elektrisch kontaktierenden Anschluss eines Leiters (126) an einen an einer Halterung (108) aufgenommenen Strombalken (110), wobei ein Betätigungshebel (103) und eine Klemmfeder (101) vorgesehen sind. Es ist eine Kulissenführung (114) vorgesehen, welche eine Schließkulisse (104) und eine quer davon abzweigende Spannkulisse (105) umfasst. Der Betätigungshebel (103) ist mit einer ersten Achse (130) und einer zweiten Achse (131) in der Kulissenführung (114) beweglich geführt.
Abstract:
Leiteranschlussklemme mit einem stift- oder buchsenartigen Kontaktteil (1) mit einer Leitereinführungsöffnung (2) für einen elektrischen Leiter (5) und einer quer dazu verlaufenden, diese schneidende Klemmöffnung (3), sowie einem darin beweglichen Klemmelement (4), welches wahlweise in eine Klemmstellung, in welcher der elektrische Leiter (5) in der Leitereinführungsöffnung (4) geklemmt wird und in eine Freigabestellung, in welcher der elektrische Leiter (5) in der Leitereinführungsöffnung (2) verschiebbar ist, bewegbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Anordnung eines Betätigungselementes (6) für das Klemmelement (4) vorgesehen, welches in der Klemmstellung und/oder Freigabe Stellung des Klemmelementes (4) arretierbar ist.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a connecting terminal for an electrical conductor (6) having an axle (7), a terminal (8) and an electrical insulating jacket (9), in addition to an electrical insulating housing (1) and a clamping element (2) that can be turned from a clamped position to a release position in the housing (1). By turning the clamping element (2) to the clamped position, the conductor (6) being inserted into the housing is pressed by the clamping element (2) against a counter support (5), the jacket (9) of the conductor (6) is cut by means of a blade (10) and the conductor (6) is pressed against a contact surface (3') so that the conductor (6) is connected to the contact surface (3') in an electrically conductive manner. In order to manufacture a connecting terminal that can be used in a large conductor cross-sectional area, the invention provides that the clamping element (2) and the counter support (5) be mounted in a flexible manner in relation to each other.
Abstract:
A quick connect and release mechanism is provided for a coaxial cable connector comprising a first connector body having an annular cavity accessible by a tubular opening. A conical retention ring is disposed in the annular cavity and engaging at least one radial step form along a rearwardly facing surface of the annular cavity and, furthermore, being configured to engage a retention surface of a second connector body upon insertion of a tubular sleeve thereof. Furthermore, a retention ring engager is disposed over a portion of the first connector body and has a sleeve portion extending into the tubular opening to urge the retention ring from engagement with the at least one radial step while also disengaging the retention surface of the second connector. As a consequence, the second connector is released from the first connector.
Abstract:
A cable splice includes a casing having a central portion and a first end including a first aperture. The casing defines an interior cavity. A guide assembly extends through the first opening into the interior cavity. A first clamp member is positioned in the interior cavity and moveable between a loading position and a terminated position. A first biasing member biases the first clamp member toward the terminated position. A carrier is positioned in the interior cavity between the first biasing member and the central region. A second clamp member is positioned in the carrier and moveable with respect to the carrier.
