A connector (10) configured to bring an object (70) into conduction comprises: a pair of fitting bodies fittable to each other; and a filler (60) with which at least one fitting body of the pair of fitting bodies is loaded, wherein a fitting body of the pair of fitting bodies includes an accommodating portion (35a) configured to accommodate an end of the object (70), and the filler (60) is configured to cover the end of the object (70) in the accommodating portion (35a).

In various embodiments, a connector for lighting devices including an elongate planar support member having a front surface with electrically conductive lines and at least one electrically-powered light radiation source thereon, is provided. The connector includes a C-shaped body having a web portion and two side portions, said C-shaped body locatable astride said planar support member with said web portion facing said front surface, and electrical contact means extending from said web portion between said side portions configured to contact electrically conductive lines on said front surface of said planar support member.

A power cable in-line power outlet (and associated method of use); said outlet including at least two sockets or slots for receiving power conducting pins of a plug of a powercord; said sockets or slots providing access to connector elements engaging with corresponding power conducting elements of said power cable; said power cable comprising an outer insulating sheath enclosing separate insulating sheaths of each said at least two power conducting elements; said power cable urged into cutting contact with said connector elements by rotation of a cam-lever from an initial non-contacting position to a position in which each of said power conducting elements of said power cable are in contact with said connector elements.

A connector for receiving a ribbon cable is provided. The connector includes a housing including an open top, a cable organizer, and a cover. The cable organizer is configured to be positioned within an interior of the housing and configured to receive the ribbon cable upon an upper surface thereof. The cover is configured to selectively cover the open top of the housing to enclose the cable organizer within the interior of the housing. The cover is coupled to the housing and includes a latch configured to engage the housing and the cable organizer and move in a both vertical direction relative to the housing and rotate relative to the housing.

Plug connector (10) with at least one spring or blade contact element (410) arranged in a housing, the spring or blade contact element being connected in an electrically conductive manner to at least one displacement insulation contact (430), which contacts and fixes at least one single-core, insulated cable (301, 302, 303, 304), characterised in that the at least one displacement insulation contact (430) is arranged offset by 90° in the plug direction (R) of the spring or blade contact element (410) relative to the spring or blade contact element (410) such that the at least one single-core, insulated cable is contacted and fixed in the plug direction passing through a displacement insulation contact.

A connector includes a modular connector including: a connector body; a substrate positioned in the connector body; wire termination contacts electrically coupled to the substrate; connector contacts electrically coupled to the substrate; the substrate including traces that electrically connect each of the wire contacts to a respective one of the connector contacts; a lacing cap subassembly including: a lacing cap having a plurality of wire receiving slots; a lacing cap body coupled to the lacing cap; a lacing cap door hingedly coupled to the lacing cap body, the lacing cap door moveable between an open and closed position.

In various representative aspects, the present invention relates generally to providing an apparatus for securing a solar panel module to a solar panel rail guide structure. More specifically, the invention relates to providing an end clamp that mounts a bottom flange of a solar panel module to a solar panel rail guide structure. The end clamp does not require any tools for insertion. It mechanically fastens and electrically bonds the solar panel module to a solar panel rail guide structure.

A clamping terminal comprises a first elastic arm disposed at one end thereof and includes a first elastic beam and a first upper sub-arm coupled to the first elastic beam. A second elastic arm is disposed at the other end of the clamping terminal and includes a second elastic beam and a second upper sub-arm coupled to the second elastic beam. A shared elastic arm assembly is disposed between the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm and includes at least one shared elastic beam. Two sides of the shared elastic beam are coupled to shared sub-arms respectively, such that the first elastic arm is disposed opposite to one side of the shared elastic arm assembly to form a first sub-clamping terminal. The second elastic arm is disposed opposite to the other side of the shared elastic arm assembly to form a second sub-clamping terminal.

An electrical connector and associated terminal are disclosed for making an electrical connection to a wire. The terminal includes a plurality of metal plates adjoining each other to form a stack that defines a passage for receiving the wire. The plates include a plurality of cutter plates disposed between a pair of outer holding plates. Each of the cutter plates has a pair of cutting edges for disrupting any insulation on the wire to permit a conductor of the wire to directly contact the cutter plate. One or more of the cutter plates may have a contact projection for making an electrical connection. The connector includes the terminal and may further include a housing. The holding plates of the terminal have outer edges with abutment features for engaging interior surfaces of the housing.
