A connector assembly includes a first signal pin formed to be in contact with a signal line of a circuit board; a first insulator surrounding the first signal pin; and a first housing accommodating the first signal pin and the first insulator and having a hole at a rear thereof corresponding to the first signal pin, wherein the first housing includes at least one clamping arm disposed on at least one side of the hole, protruding to a rear of the first housing, and having a lower surface formed to be in contact with an upper surface of the circuit board and the connector assembly further includes a ground plate disposed below the clamping arm and having an upper surface formed to be in contact with a lower surface of the circuit board; a clamping plate movably disposed below the ground plate; and a fastening member.

A clamp provides electrical communication between a first conductor and a second conductor. The clamp includes a first housing portion having a first surface, a second surface, a first housing bore, and a cavity, the first housing bore extending along a longitudinal axis. The clamp further includes a clamp member at least partially disposed within the cavity of the first housing portion, the clamp member including a first clamp surface adjacent the second surface of the housing in a facing relationship. The clamp further includes a shaft oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, the shaft coupling the first housing portion and the clamp member. The clamp further includes a second housing portion movably coupled to the first housing portion by the shaft, the second housing portion including a second housing bore and a second clamp surface, the second housing bore aligned with the longitudinal axis, the second clamp surface adjacent the first surface of the first housing portion in a facing relationship.

In an electrified transmission, motor leads are electrically connected to inverter leads by being squeezed between a compressible limiter on a terminal base and a prong of a cover plate. Several such connection are accomplished by installation of the cover to an inverter housing. This method reduces the number of assembly steps and is more robust to variations in the positions of the leads. The terminal base may be part of an inverter module within the inverter housing.

A bolt terminal mounted on a guide rail is provided. The bolt terminal comprises a housing (1), an integral nut (2), a screw (3), a connection component (4), and a wiring metal surface (5); one end of the screw is provided in the housing, the other end of the screw is located outside the housing, and the screw located outside the housing is to be connected to the integral nut fitted therewith; the wiring metal surface is provided on the interface between the screw and the housing; and the housing is to be connected to the guide rail via the connection component. The bolt terminal increases the requirement for powering the wirings, and the bolt terminal can be removed from the guide rail only by using a conventional screwdriver to lightly tap on a removal port. The screw is integrally connected to the housing by injection molding and thus there is no risk of the screw falling off, enabling higher reliability.

A connector includes a clamping member, a base, and a body. A first channel is formed between the clamping member and the body, and at least one second channel is formed between the base and the body. The positions of the base and the body relative to one another and relative to the clamping member are adjustable to modify the size of the first channel and the second channel. Insulation-piercing members electrically connect a conductor in the first channel to one or more conductors in the second channel(s).

A relay includes a housing, a fixed terminal, a screw receiving member, and at least one female screw member. The fixed terminal has a plate shape. The fixed terminal includes a fastening portion having at least one screw insertion hole. The fastening portion is exposed from the housing to an outside and is screwed to an external terminal. The screw receiving member overlaps with the fastening portion in a penetrating direction of the at least one screw insertion hole and is provided in proximity to the fastening portion. The at least one female screw member is provided integrally with or separately from the screw receiving member and is prevented from rotating by the screw receiving member.

The present disclosure provides descriptions of configurations for bonding clamps used to assemble photovoltaic (PV) arrays and provide an electrical bond between PV module frames and a rail system forming the PV arrays. The bonding clamp includes an electrically conductive body, first and second compression arms extending from body and a tab extending from the body in a direction away from a bottom side of the body. The first and second compression arms extend at an angle relative to the body.
