Two-part and terminal connectors with conductor management device for use in hazardous environments
A terminal connector or two-part connector comprising male and female parts having respective contact pins and contact receivers (10,15) of a construction generally known in the art. In the body (1) of the or at least one part, closely juxtaposed a terminal block (9), there is provided a conductor management device (8) adapted to receive conductors (12) as they are unbundled from the connected cable or reel and support the unbundled or individual conductors through the transitional region of the connector part to where they are secured at the terminal block (9). The conductor management device (8) has through body apertures defining each conductor path (14) to align each conductor with its respective receiver (13). In a different configuration, the conductor management device provides strain relief to the conductors, provides support and conductor rigidity, provides a locking means and is a bore modifier.
ELECTRICAL WIRE WITH TERMINAL, AND WIRE HARNESS STRUCTURE
A covered conductive wire is configured by covering a conductive wire with an insulating cover portion. The conductive wire is formed of an aluminum-based material, for example. A crimping portion includes a cover crimping portion for crimping the cover portion of the covered conductive wire, and a conductor crimping portion for crimping a portion of the conductive wire that is exposed when the cover portion is removed at the tip portion of the covered conductive wire. It is possible to use polyvinyl chloride and/or a non-halogen member, for example, for the cover portion of the covered conductive wire, and a plasticizer, filler, stabilizer, or the like is compounded as needed. A material that shrinks by a factor of 7% or less after being allowed to stand for 120 hours at a high temperature of 120° C. is used for this cover portion.
Electrical connector
The present invention relates to an electrical connector, comprising a connector main body (1) and screws (2, 3). The connector main body (1) includes a housing (4), a multi-socket wire connection structure (5), a multi-socket plug-in connection structure (8), and a multi-socket wire disconnection structure (6). The screws (2, 3) are preferably set screws, which comprise a guide structure (9), a thread structure (10), a fall-off prevention structure (11), and a wrenching structure (12). The present invention has advantages of high connection density, ease of wiring connection, high efficiency, being shock-resistant, loosening-proof and reliable, while meeting the IEC 60603-2 standard.
ELECTRICAL APPARATUS HAVING A PUSH-IN CONNECTION TERMINALWITH A SUPPORT CLIP GUIDING AND LIMITING THE ELASTIC DEFORMATION OF THE CONTACT SPRING
An electrical apparatus such as an electrical contactor or a terminal block, comprises a casing made of an electrically insulating material, a conductive bar mounted in the casing and at least one push-in type connection terminal. The terminal comprises a contact spring having an elastic portion undergoing an elastic deformation under the action of an external force applied on the contact spring either by an electrical conductor during its insertion at a first aperture of the casing so as to place the electrical conductor in a contact position located between the contact spring and the conductive bar in order to establish an electrical connection between the electrical conductor and the conductive bar, or by a tool inserted into a second aperture of the casing so as to open the contact spring and release the electrical conductor in order to remove it out of its contact position. The electrical apparatus comprises a support clip independent of the casing and of the conductive bar. The clip comprises fastening elements allowing mounting of the support clip on the contact spring and delimits a bearing face against which the contact spring bears during the deformation of its elastic portion under the action of the external force in order to impose the manner in which the elastic portion spatially deforms and against which the contact spring abuts in its maximum deformation state in order to limit the elastic deformation of the elastic portion of the contact spring below a predetermined value regardless of the intensity of the external force.
ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION MODULE COMPRISING PEDESTALS JOINTLY SUPPORTING POWER BARS AND POWER COMPONENTS
An electrical distribution module, including a plate that supports pedestals which in turn support power components and power bars connected to the power components. Each pedestal includes a base supporting uprights spaced apart from each other and bridges, each bridge connecting two consecutive uprights at a distance from the base to form an opening for a power bar to transition between the plate and the power components supported by the pedestal.
BUSBAR TERMINAL, BUSBAR TERMINAL CONNECTION STRUCTURE, AND BUSBAR TERMINAL CONNECTION METHOD
A bulbar terminal includes a fastening portion, a crimping portion, and a torsion portion. The fastening portion is electrically connected to a terminal base. The crimping portion is electrically connected to a conducting wire. The torsion portion electrically connects the fastening portion and the crimping portion. The torsion portion includes a twisted part between the fastening portion and the crimping portion.
Terminal block and stud for transitioning an electrical connection between two distinct areas
A terminal block for transitioning electrical connections between two adjacent areas comprises at least one hole for receiving a stud. Each hole comprises a through hole and a sealing chamber surrounding the through hole. A stud is used for each hole. Each stud comprises a seal support flange and a sealing device. Each side of the seal support flange comprises a system for making an electrical connection. The seal support flange is sized to fit within the sealing chamber. The sealing device is located between the support flange and the sealing chamber. The stud is secured to the hole on the opposite side of the dielectric insert from the support flange and the sealing chamber to compress the sealing device between the support flange and the sealing chamber and cause the sealing device to fill the space of the sealing chamber and form a seal between the stud and the sealing chamber.
Controlled shear point wiring adapter
A wiring adapter is provided which controls the shear point for a wiring system in a traffic control box and other electrical panels. The wiring adapter includes a bottom segment which is securely mounted in the control box. Incoming wires to the control box are connected to the bottom segment. The top segment of the wiring adapter includes connections for wires running from the wiring adapter to the power or control elements in the control box. The wiring adapter uses a quick release retention mechanism to secure the top segment to the bottom segment. When a triggering event occurs, the quick release mechanism separates the top segment from the bottom segment to ensure that the shear point for the wiring system occurs at the wiring adapter.
Connection device for connecting electrical conductors
A connection device for connecting electrical conductors includes a sheath clamp comprising a bottom part and a top part, a contact carrier to which the bottom portion of the sheath clamp is attached, and a detachable insulating cap configured for rotabably receiving the top part of the sheath clamp, wherein the detachable insulating cap is permanently connected to the contact carrier.
RELAY TERMINAL BLOCK
A relay terminal block fixed to a fixing part by a screw includes a main body having a first surface facing the fixing part, and a second surface on a rear surface side of the first surface. The main body is formed with a recessed portion depressed from the second surface toward the first surface, a through-hole formed from a bottom surface of the recessed portion through to the first surface, and a protrusion that is provided at an edge of the recessed portion to protrude in a direction away from the second surface. The through-hole is formed to have an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of a shaft of the screw and smaller than an outer diameter of a head of the screw, and the recessed portion is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the head of the screw.
