A socket has a housing, which is composed of an electrically insulating material and an elongate plug-receiving region. A contact spring is arranged in the plug-receiving region. A lever loads the contact spring in the open position of the lever such that a dimension of the contact spring transverse to the longitudinal direction of the plug-receiving region is reduced and relaxes the contact spring in the closed position of the lever. A plug is provided for such a socket.

An electrical connector is revealed that has unique useful characteristics. A sheet metal fork supplies the stored energy that imparts a force to a second member—a plunger that makes contact with the mating circuit. The plunger can be configured to increase or decrease the force or deflection and can be designed with various connection ends with different contact characteristics.

An electric power connector for a connective terminal to be plugged in, which includes a carrier, a clamping member, a driven element, a sliding element, and a gear. The clamping member is disposed in the carrier and clamps the connective terminal. The driven element is movably disposed in the carrier and is arranged correspondingly to the clamping member. The sliding element is slidably connected in the carrier and includes a rack and a pushing portion. The gear is rotatably connected to the carrier and engages with the rack. The sliding element is configured to slide relative to the carrier by controlling the gear to rotate. The pushing portion moves with the sliding element to push the driven element to shift to force the clamping member to latch the connective terminal.

A spring loaded direct plug-in terminal with a direct plug-in connector for the connection of a conductor includes a housing with a chamber and a plug-in channel for plugging the conductor into the chamber. The terminal also includes a busbar, a clamping spring arranged in the chamber and acting as a compression spring for fixing the electrical conductor on the busbar in the area of a clamping site. The clamping spring includes a pivotable clamping arm which can be adjusted from a locked state in a locked position into a clamping state in which it is unlocked from the locked state and presses the electrical conductor against the busbar. An actuation element which is movable in the housing is provided which, together with the clamping arm of the clamping spring, can be locked in the locked state. The mobility of the actuation element in the housing in the locked state can be arrested by a locking element which is movable at an angle relative to the movement direction of the actuation element.

A connector is provided with first and second housings connectable to each other, a slider to be supported on the first housing, and a biasing member to be arranged between the slider and the first housing. The second housing includes a stopper portion for stopping a connecting operation of the first and second housings by coming into contact with a contact portion of the first housing and a slider lock receiving portion to be locked by a slider lock portion of a slider. The biasing member has a biasing force for pushing the first housing toward a connection position to the second housing when the slider lock receiving portion is locked by the slider lock portion and contact between the stopper portion and the contact portion is released.

The present invention relates to a transmission device for a phase shifter and an actuator device for a phase shifter. The transmission device includes a support, a lead screw nut mechanism and an automatic locking device. The automatic locking device includes a shaft connector rotatably supported on the support and configured to be in transmission connection with a driven connector of a driving device; a locking connector which is in transmission connection with the shaft connector, is in transmission connection with the lead screw, has a locking element and is movable relative to the shaft connector and the lead screw; and a locking spring. When the driven connector is decoupled to the shaft connector, the locking spring biases the locking connector in a first position, in which the locking element engages a counter-locking element on the support. When the driven connector is decoupled to the shaft connector, the locking connector is moved by the driven connector to a second position, in which the locking element disengages the counter-locking element on the support. Calibration of the phase shifter may be saved when the driving device is replaced or repaired.

A spring-actuated electrical connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting a device to a power source in high-power, high-voltage applications is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a first connector with an internal receiver, a plurality of side walls, and at least one contact beam. The contact beam integrally extends to an outer surface of the side wall and includes a free end that extends inward of the outer surface of the side wall. An internal spring member is dimensioned to reside within the receiver of the first connector. This assembly also includes a second electrically conductive connector with a receptacle dimensioned to receive both the first connector and the spring member to define a connected position during operation of the device. In the connected position, at least one spring arm of the spring member exerts an outwardly directed force on the contact beam of the first connector to outwardly displace the contact beam into engagement with the second connector.

The evaluation jig comprises a pair of female terminals connectable to a pair of male terminals of a charging connector and an adjustment member capable of adjusting contact resistance of the female terminal and the male terminal. The female terminal is reducible in diameter. The adjustment member includes an annular band attached to an outer peripheral surface of the female terminal and formed in an annulus surrounding the female terminal, a metal band attached to an outer peripheral surface of the annular band and capable of applying external force to the female terminal to reduce the female terminal in diameter, and an adjustment unit capable of adjusting the external force applied by the metal band to the female terminal. The annular band is made of an electrically and thermally insulating material.
