ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT COMPRISING A BUSBAR HAVING A CONDUCT ARRANGEMENT, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE SAID BUSBAR, AND A CLIP ELEMENT
An electrical connection arrangement includes a busbar having a first contact area, a conductor arrangement having a second contact area abutting the first contact area and electrically connecting the conductor arrangement to the busbar, the conductor arrangement including at least one current-conductor plate, and a clip element. The clip element has a first spring limb bearing on a bottom side of the busbar, a second spring limb resting on a top side of the conductor arrangement, and a connecting section connecting the first spring limb and the second spring limb. The first spring limb and the second spring limb press the busbar and the conductor arrangement against one another at the first contact area and the second contact area to create a mechanical connection between the busbar and the conductor arrangement.

GROUNDING CROSS CONNECTORS INCLUDING CLAMPING PADS FOR COUPLING AT LEAST TWO CONDUCTORS
Various implementations of grounding cross connectors are disclosed. The grounding cross connectors may be used to clamp together two or more, often perpendicular, conductors. In some implementations, a grounding cross connector includes an upper clamping pad and a lower clamping pad held together by a pair of threaded fasteners. A pair of perpendicular conductors may be placed in between the clamping pads and secured together by torqueing nuts on the threaded fasteners. The upper clamping pad may include a hook through which one of the threaded fasteners may pass, thereby allowing the upper clamping to rotate relative to the lower clamping pad.

Conductor connection terminal
A conductor connection terminal, having an insulating-material housing, a spring-force clamping connection point, which is disposed in the insulating-material housing and which has a clamping spring, and comprising a pivotably mounted actuating lever for actuating the clamping spring, wherein the actuating lever is movable from a closed position to an open position and vice versa, wherein the actuating lever has a driver element for deflecting a clamping leg of the clamping spring in order to open a clamping point of the conductor connection terminal, which clamping point is formed with the clamping leg, wherein the conductor connection terminal has at least one spring-holding element, which is not disposed on the actuating lever, for holding the clamping leg in the open position, such that the actuating lever is not loaded with the restoring force of the clamping spring when the clamping point is open.
Grounding cross connectors including clamping pads for coupling at least two conductors

TAP CLAMP
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.
