Terminal for connecting an electrical conductor to the connection pad of an electrical device, and electrical protection device including such a terminal
10833430 · 2020-11-10 · ·

A terminal for connecting an electrical conductor to a connection pad of a device, the terminal including a cage to be fixed inside the housing of the device and including an orifice of substantially parallelepipedal shape and delimited by four walls, the orifice being able to receive the pad, an upper wall including an orifice able to allow the passage of a screw with an actuator and a clamping shoe able to allow the conductor to be clamped between the pad and the shoe upon actuation of the screw driving the relative translational movement between the screw and the cage. Terminal includes an intermediate stage inside the cage to allow the reception of a nut with elastic branches having a threaded orifice through which the clamping screw is to be mounted, the elastic branches interacting with forms provided on the side walls of the cage such that the nut rotationally disengages as soon as the correct clamping torque is reached.

Connectors for linear lighting
10826202 · 2020-11-03 · ·
