A platform for connecting busbars has a loading unit having a blind hole on a docking surface for receiving a connecting rod, an action unit used for impacting the loading unit or a busbar to push the connecting rod into a pre-hole on the busbar, a limit unit used for stopping the busbar from moving along its length direction, and a support unit used for supporting the action unit and the limit unit. The connecting rod is assembled to the first busbar by the action unit combined the loading unit and then the connecting rod already assembled to the first busbar is assembled to the second busbar by the action unit.

An operation method for busbars docking platform has putting a first busbar and a loading unit in a receiving groove, arranging the first busbar to touch the loading unit, removing the loading unit; loading a connecting rod to the loading unit; putting the loading unit in the receiving groove; triggering the first release member to impact the loading unit; triggering the second release member to retract the action unit; removing the loading unit; putting a second busbar in the receiving groove; putting the first busbar between the action unit and the second busbar; removing the first busbar; putting the first busbar in the receiving groove; triggering the first release member to impact the first busbar; triggering the second release member to retract the action unit; and taking the first busbar and the second busbar out from the receiving groove.

Contact system for producing an electrically conductive contact between an aluminum conductor (3) and a contact component (2). A housing (1) is provided, as well as a contact component (2) having a shearing-off section (13) and a tapered compression segment (14), where the housing (1) has an insertion volume (4) for the aluminum conductor (3) and an insertion volume (5) for the contact component (2) and the two insertion volumes (4, 5) overlap within the housing (1) and form a common overlapping volume (8) so as to enable, when the aluminum conductor (3) has been pushed into the insertion volume (4), for the aluminum conductor (3), the severing/shearing-off and cold welding of the aluminum conductor (3) with the contact component (2) by means of the contact component (2).

The invention relates to a contact system for contacting an aluminium braid (7) to a contact element (1) comprising—an electrically conducting cable (4); —the aluminium braid (7) comprising a plurality of aluminium wires, which is arranged to run at least in sections between a primary isolation (6) and a secondary isolation (8) of the electrically conducting cable (4); —die contact element (1) which can be pushed onto the electrically conducting cable (4) having an outer sleeve (3) and an inner sleeve (2) which can be inserted therein. To achieve a contact system which makes possible, in a simple fashion, a reliable contacting of an aluminium braid to a contact element without additional soldering systems being required, according to the invention the inner sleeve (2) has a first contact surface (2a) and the outer sleeve (3) has a second contact surface (3a), wherein each contact surface (2a, 3a) has areas of different size of cross-section and the contact surfaces (2a, 3a) are designed in such a manner that the aluminium braid (7) is clamped in a contact position by the inner sleeve (2) being pushed axially inside the outer sleeve (3) and contact is made with the contact element (1).

A platform for connecting busbars has a loading unit having a blind hole on a docking surface for receiving a connecting rod, an action unit used for impacting the loading unit or a busbar to push the connecting rod into a pre-hole on the busbar, a limit unit used for stopping the busbar from moving along its length direction, and a support unit used for supporting the action unit and the limit unit. The connecting rod is assembled to the first busbar by the action unit combined the loading unit and then the connecting rod already assembled to the first busbar is assembled to the second busar by the action unit.

A female terminal (12) to be connected to an end of a wire (11) is provided with a wire connecting portion (19) including a base (22) and first and second pinching portions (14, 15) extending along an extending direction from the base (22) and configured to pinch the wire (11), and a sliding portion (18) movable along the extending direction and including first pressing portions (16A, 16B) and second pressing portions (17A, 17B) for pressing the first and second pinching portions (14, 15) toward the wire (11) by coming into contact with the first and second pinching portions (14, 15). The first pressing portions (16A, 16B) and the second pressing portions (17A, 17B) project toward the first and second pinching portions (14, 15) and are side by side at an interval in a direction intersecting the extending direction.

A platform for connecting busbars has a loading unit having a blind hole on a docking surface for receiving a connecting rod, an action unit used for impacting the loading unit or a busbar to push the connecting rod into a pre-hole on the busbar, a limit unit used for stopping the busbar from moving along its length direction, and a support unit used for supporting the action unit and the limit unit. The connecting rod is assembled to the first busbar by the action unit combined the loading unit and then the connecting rod already assembled to the first busbar is assembled to the second busar by the action unit.

A wedge connector system for connecting first and second elongate electrical conductors includes a C-shaped sleeve member, a wedge member, and an insert member. The sleeve member defines a sleeve cavity and opposed first and second sleeve channels on either side of the sleeve cavity. The wedge member includes a wedge body having first and second opposed wedge side walls. The insert member is configured to be selectively mounted in the first sleeve channel and defines an insert member channel to receive the first conductor when the insert member is mounted in the first sleeve channel. The sleeve member and the wedge member are configured to capture the first and second conductors such that: the first conductor is received in the insert member channel and captured between the sleeve member and the first wedge side wall; and the second conductor is captured between the sleeve member and the second wedge side wall.

A connector includes a pushing member including a projection and a pushing member-side flange formed at a root portion of the projection, and a contact having a projection accommodating portion, the pushing member-side flange including a pair of fixing portions separately arranged on opposite sides of the root portion of the projection across the projection, when the projection is inserted into the projection accommodating portion together with the flexible conductor with a part of the flexible conductor being laid along a lateral surface of the projection being fixed by the pair of fixing portions, the part of the flexible conductor laid along the lateral surface of the projection being sandwiched between the lateral surface of the projection and an inner surface of the projection accommodating portion to contact the inner surface of the projection accommodating portion, whereby the contact is electrically connected to the flexible conductor.
