A spring force terminal such as a direct plug-in terminal for connecting a flexible stranded conductor includes a housing having a chamber and a plug-in channel for the conductor into the chamber. A busbar or a clamping cage are provided and a clamping spring arranged in the chamber acts as a compression spring for fixing the electrical conductor on the busbar or the clamping cage in the region of a clamping point. The clamping spring has a clamping leg pivotable around a pivot axis, which is adjustable from a latching state in which it is latched in a latching position into a clamping state in which it is unlatched from the latching position and presses the electrical conductor against the busbar or the clamping cage. The latching state is produced by pressing on the clamping leg in the conductor insertion direction using a pusher wherein the clamping leg is releasable from the latching state using two different actuatable adjustment devices. The second release element is designed to release the pusher from the latching position to release the clamping leg from the latching state. The release element is arranged and formed laterally in relation to the pusher in the chamber in such a way that it acts on the pusher essentially perpendicularly to the conductor insertion direction to release the pusher from the latching position.

A connector assembly includes an insulative housing, first and second conductive ground wafers (see e.g., 661 and 663) and a plurality of grounding links. The insulative housing has a plurality of conductive signal terminals disposed therein (see e.g., 662). The insulative housing has opposite side surfaces and a plurality of openings therein extending between the side surfaces. The second ground wafer is spaced from and parallel to the first ground wafer. The grounding links are electrically connected to one of the ground wafers and extend towards another of the ground wafers and extend through the openings in the housing.

A multidirectional socket structure is disclosed, comprising an outer case, an armature part, an electric power line and an outer cladding part enveloping the outer case, wherein the outer case includes plural socket panels facing different directions, and the armature part includes a base body and three electrode boards, in which the base body has a crossbar and sidebars bent and extended from both sides of the crossbar, and the sidebars can further extend a positioning pillar body used to be positioned on the outer case, and the armature part can be provided with different channels along the crossbar and the sidebars for accommodating different electrode boards, such that modular designs can be applied between the outer case and the armature part in order to facilitate more convenient assemblage, thereby effectively reducing manufacturing costs and labor costs.

A contact module includes a leadframe having signal contacts arranged in pairs. Each signal contact includes a lead having sides extending between inner and outer edges. The contact module includes a dielectric frame supporting the leadframe having a first side and a second side with windows extending through the dielectric frame between the first side and the second side. The windows exposing to air the sides, the inner edges and the outer edges of the corresponding leads along a majority of lengths of the leads. The contact module includes a shield structure having a first ground shield at the first side and a second ground shield at the second side to provide electrical shielding for the signal contacts.

A connector is to be joined to a mating connector. The connector includes a terminal fitting including an electrical connection portion to be connected to a mating terminal of the mating connector, a housing including an insertion hole, the electrical connection portion inserted through the insertion hole and a rear holder attached to the housing such that the rear holder presses and holds the terminal fitting against the housing. The housing includes a reference surface to restrict the electrical connection portion, with a portion of the terminal fitting abutting the reference surface, from being further inserted into the insertion hole. The rear holder includes a pressing pin to press, when the rear holder is attached to the housing, the terminal fitting from a rear side of the terminal fitting such that the pressing pin is partially and plastically deformed and the terminal fitting is pressed against the reference surface.

A circuit breaker housing for holding a switching device unit and a number of connection contacts for a connection line and/or a busbar. The housing has a first housing part and a second housing part. In the joined, assembled state, the housing parts form a front side and a rear side opposite said front side and at least one connection side and end faces located opposite one another. A holding chamber for a connection module having one of the connection contacts is provided on the front side and/or on at least one of the connection sides.

A conductor terminal for connecting at least one electrical conductor, comprising a base module, which includes mounting rail fastening elements for fastening the conductor terminal to a mounting rail, the base module including a housing, which extends in its longitudinal direction up to two end areas of the housing, the housing having a central area between the end areas, which projects beyond the end areas of the housing in a direction facing away from the mounting rail fastening elements, at least one receptacle arrangement for accommodating a conductor connecting module being disposed on the base module in each of the two end areas, the conductor connecting module including at least one conductor terminal connection designed to connect an electric conductor.

A connector assembly includes a first module and a second module. Each of the first and second modules extends parallel to a longitudinal axis between a respective front end and a respective rear end opposite the front end. Each of the first and second modules includes a respective shell and one or more electrical connectors held by the shell and exposed at the respective front end for mating to a corresponding mating electrical device. The shell of the second module is mechanically coupled to the shell of the first module between the front and rear ends of the first module. The second module is movable relative to the first module parallel to the longitudinal axis to allow for separately mating the first and second modules to the corresponding mating electrical devices.

A junction box includes a bottom portion including a first end portion and a second end portion and a top portion configured to mate with the bottom portion. The top and bottom portions form a first opening to receive a first cable at the first end portion and form a second opening to receive a second cable at the second end portion. Interchangeable connection blocks are included for receiving wires of different gauges to make connections between the first cable and the second cable. A connection block receiving-feature is formed in the bottom portion to secure the connection blocks.

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.
