Modular junction boxes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a junction box for convenient modular industrial wiring is provided having a plurality of walls defining a first internal space of the junction box and at least one open face, a first connection area located on a first external face of the junction box having a first opening for receiving at least three electrical wires, a bus bar stack located in the first internal space of the junction box, a removable junction device having at least one contact support being mechanically and electrically attachable to the bus bar stack, and wherein when the junction device is attached to the bus bar stack, the junction device is electrically connected through the at least one contact support to one of at least three input openings of the bus bar stack.

The invention relates to a contact device for being arranged on an electrically driven vehicle, in particular electric bus or the like, or on a charging station for an electrically driven vehicle having at least two contact bar arrangements (10), each comprising one contact bar carrier (11) and at least one contact bar (12) which is disposed on the contact bar carrier and which is electrically connectable to a charging contact of a charging contact carrier of a charging contact device of the charging station or to a contact bar of the vehicle, the contact bar having a connecting device (13) for connecting the contact bar to an electrical conductor (14), which is guidable towards the vehicle or towards the charging station, the connecting device comprising a groove (15), which extends longitudinally in the contact bar, and a connecting element (16), which is attached to the groove, for being connected to the electrical conductor.

A terminal block includes a housing including a connection surface to which an electromagnetic relay is connectable. The housing includes at least one attachment groove that opens to the connection surface and extends toward inside of the housing. The at least one attachment groove includes a first groove portion ami a second groove portion are disposed adjacent to and communicating with each other. The first groove portion includes a first narrow width portion disposed near the connection surface, a wide width portion disposed farther from the connection surface than the first narrow width portion, and a step portion at a boundary of the first narrow width portion and the wide width portion, the step portion being capable of restricting a movement of the holding member in a removal direction. The second groove portion is configured to be capable of accommodating the claw portion without elastically deforming.

The invention relates to a terminal block structure includes an insulative base, a conductive terminal, a pressing element, and a clamping elastic piece. The insulative base has a chamber, a wire insertion hole and an open trough disposed on the same side of the insulative base as the wire insertion hole. The conductive terminal is fixed in the chamber and arranged correspondingly to the wire insertion hole. The pressing element includes a pivoting portion, an arm, a handle, and a pressing portion. The pivoting portion is pivotally connected to the insulative base. The arm protrudes from the insulative base through the open trough. The handle is movable beside the wire insertion hole. The clamping elastic piece is disposed in the chamber. An end of the clamping elastic piece is operatively moved to inside or outside of the wire insertion hole through the pressing portion.

A tool-less terminal block includes an insulated base, a turning part, a conductive terminal and a spring clamp. The insulated base has a cavity and a slot communicating to the cavity; the turning part is pivotally coupled to the insulated base; the conductive terminal is fixed to the bottom of the slot; the spring clamp is accommodated in the cavity and disposed at the top of the conductive terminal, and the spring clamp has a movable elastic arm pressing the conductive terminal to seal the slot, and the movable elastic arm has a link rod fixed to the turning part and operable together with the turning part. When the turning part is turned to a released position, the link rod is pulled by the turning part to drive the movable elastic arm away from the conductive terminal to open the slot, so as to provide a convenient use.

A terminal block with a handle structure includes an insulation base having an accommodation space, an insertion port, and a side opening. The insulation base has a limit column and a pivot part formed in the accommodation space. A conductive terminal includes a conductive body and plural lead pins, and the conductive body is positioned in the accommodation space, and the lead pin passes out from the insulation base. An elastic plate includes an abutting arm with a curved surface, a bend section sheathing the limit column, and the abutting arm is suspended on a side of the insertion port, and a pivot of the handle structure is combined with the pivot part to make a handle protrude from the insulation base, and a pressing cam abuts against the curved surface of the abutting arm, so that the handle structure may avoid damages and provide a labor-saving effect.

An assembly for electrical equipment includes: a plurality of connection devices to be modularly arranged side-by-side in a row along a row direction, each having a housing and at least one termination point for connecting at least one electrical conductor; and a connecting element having a main body and a connecting portion formed on the main body, the connecting element connecting together two of the plurality of connection devices which two connection devices are adjacent to each other along the row direction. The connecting element is connectable via the connecting portion to the housing of at least one of the two adjacent connection devices by material-to-material bonding.

A terminal block which can be coupled to another terminal block in an electrically connected state includes a housing, an input-side power supply terminal and an output-side power supply terminal. The housing includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion. The input-side power supply terminal and the output-side power supply terminal are arranged along the second wall portion inside the housing. The housing includes a protruding portion that functions as an obstructing member that hinders connection of the input-side power supply line to the input-side power supply terminal and a through hole that is arranged in a vicinity of the input-side power supply terminal of the second wall portion and penetrates the second wall portion in the first direction to allow insertion of the obstructing member.
