A connection device for the connection of a conductor end includes a housing, a busbar section arranged in the housing, and a clamping spring assembly rotatably connected with the housing and operable between an open position and a contact position in contact with the conductor end. A rotary lever assembly is operably connected with the clamping spring assembly. The clamping spring assembly includes at least one clamping spring having clamping and actuating limbs arranged at an acute angle and connected by a bending region bearing against a spring carrier. The clamping spring assembly is preferably preassembled on the spring carrier for insertion in the housing.

Disclosed are a connector and a battery module. A connector according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a connector configured to electrically interconnect electrode leads of neighboring battery cells. The connector includes: a main body having a conductive material and having contact portions provided to face each other such that the leads of the neighboring battery cells are brought into contact with the contact portions, respectively; two or more push members disposed to be movable and to be spaced apart from each other between the contact portions so as to bring each of the electrode leads into contact with a corresponding contact portion among the contact portions; a core member disposed to be movable between the push members so as to bring the push members into close contact with corresponding contact portions, respectively; and a movement mechanism configured to move the core member in a second direction crossing a first direction in order to cause the push members in the first direction for close contact.

It is aimed to provide a connector capable of suppressing the separation of a retainer from a housing. A connector 10 is provided with a housing 20 including a plurality of tubular inserting portions 21 arranged in parallel to each other, a plurality of wires 100 being individually inserted into the inserting portions, sealing members 30 for sealing between the wires 100 and the inserting portions 21, and a retainer 40 to be locked to the housing 20, the retainer 40 retaining the sealing members 30. Recessed portions 25 are provided between two inserting portions 21 adjacent to each other on an outer peripheral surface of the housing 20. The retainer 40 includes locking portions 43 to be locked to the recessed portions 25 by concavo-convex engagement.

An integrated photovoltaic cable having a connecting terminal and a housing injection-molded on the connecting terminal. The connecting terminal has a connecting sheet, a through hole, and a plurality of U-shape groove sheets. Exposed conductors obtained by peeling front ends of the photovoltaic cable are respectively placed into corresponding U-shape groove sheets and crimped by a crimping plier. A manufacturing method for manufacturing the integrated photovoltaic cable includes three steps of manufacturing a connecting terminal, crimping photovoltaic wires, and injection molding a housing. An improvement of the cable connecting structure simplifies the production, improves the connecting quality, and reduces a volume of an adapter. The conductor end and the U-shape groove are firmly and conveniently connected to ensure the connection quality, reduce a contact resistance of a connecting wire, and cause a smaller volume of the adapter.

A conductor joint (1) is provided for connecting two conductors along a longitudinal direction. The conductor joint comprises a first segment having a first segment end (202) adapted connecting to an end portion of a first conductor and a second segment (300) comprising a second segment end (302) relative to the longitudinal direction adapted for receiving a second conductor end of a second conductor. The second segment further has an opposite second segment end (304) fixed, or forming an integral part with, an opposite first segment end (204) of the first segment (200), a tubular sleeve (310) and a core rod (320) wherein ends (310a, 320a) of the tubular sleeve (310) and the core rod (320) are arranged with a radial offset forming a sleeve opening for receiving at the end portion of the second conductor end of the second conductor.

A grounding clamp for connecting a cable to an electrical ground includes first and second clamping elements, which tightly abut against one another in an assembled state so that the cable is clampable therebetween. A contact is arranged on the first clamping element to contact a conductive section of the cable in the assembled state. An opening extending through the clamping elements is configured such that a fastener is guidable therethrough and the grounding clamp is connectable to the ground using the fastener. Mutually complementary first and second locking means are also provided. The first locking means are arranged on two opposite sides of the first clamping element and the second locking means are arranged on two opposite sides of the second clamping element. In the assembled state, the locking means are engaged with one another and are arranged on both sides along the cable.

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing and a plurality of electrical terminals. A first side surface of the connector has a plug input interface provided for insertion of a power supply component along a first direction and a length direction thereof is perpendicular to the first direction. A third side surface of the connector has a shunt socket with at least one shunt slot. Each of the electrical terminals has an A contact portion, a B contact portion, a middle portion and a pin portion. Each of the A contact portions extends into the plug input interface along the first direction. Each of the pin portions extends out of the second side surface along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each of the B contact portions extends into the shunt slot along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction.

A two-points-and-one-line push-in terminal capable of secure positioning includes a terminal body and a busbar, and can be mounted in a housing to form a connector. The terminal body is formed by stamping and bending an elastic metal plate, has a U-shaped longitudinal cross section, and includes a front upstanding insertion leg, a horizontal joining foot, and a rear upstanding insertion leg. The elastic metal plate can be divided by at least two slits into at least four independent sections, each having a U-shaped slit defining a pressing spring finger and a pressing frame. The busbar can be mounted on the horizontal joining foot. An electric wire can be passed through a corresponding pair of the U-shaped slits so as to abut against the free ends of the corresponding pressing spring fingers and the busbar and be restrained in the corresponding pressing frames, which serves as the two-points-and-one-line positioning mechanism.
