SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING LED CONNECTORS
Connectors for LED strips are disclosed having channels for removable conductors. These connectors are configured to receive conductors adapted to electrically connect two LED strips, or a single LED strip and an appropriate number of wires. The connectors and conductors may include sloped ramps that provide support to the LED strips.
ELECTRICAL PLUG CONNECTOR FOR A BUSBAR
The present invention relates to an electrical plug connector for an electrical connection system. The electrical plug connector comprises a plug connector housing comprising a housing body and a busbar portion. The busbar portion is at least partially accommodated in the plug connector housing. The busbar portion includes a busbar conductor, and a busbar end which is integrally formed with the busbar conductor. The busbar end includes a connection portion that is configured for being plugged to a mating connector to establish an electrical connection. The busbar end further includes a retention means which is configured to engage with a corresponding retention means to receive pull forces being imposed on the busbar portion in a direction opposite to a mating direction. The plug connector housing has a corresponding retention means that engages with the retention means when the busbar portion is at least partially accommodated in the plug connector housing.
BUSBAR PORTION
A busbar portion includes a busbar conductor and a busbar end which is integrally formed with the busbar conductor. The busbar end has a connection portion. The connection portion is configured for being plugged to a mating connector to establish an electrical connection. The busbar end further incorporates a retention means which is configured to engage with a corresponding retention means to receive pull forces being imposed on the busbar portion in a direction opposite to a mating direction.
TERMINAL BLOCK POWER FEEDER CONNECTOR DEVICES
A power feeder device can include a base having a mounting portion and a plurality of connector structures extending from the mounting portion and spaced apart relative to each other to form a respective gap therebetween. Each connector structure can be configured to receive a respective pair of terminals to electrically connect the respective pair of terminals within connector structures and to block a line of sight between adjacent pairs of terminals. The device can also include a cover configured to mate with the base to enclose each of the plurality of connector structures and to increase a length of a creepage path between each pair of terminals by at least partially inserting into each gap between the connector structures. The base and the cover can be configured to form a terminal opening on each lateral side when assembled to allow pass-through of a conductor and/or portion of each terminal. In certain embodiments, at least one of the terminals of the respective pair of terminals can be a bus bar extending from a bus bar chassis and the base and/or the cover can form a creepage barrier that extend into a chassis wall opening of the bus bar chassis to increase a length of a chassis creepage path from the respective pair of terminals to the bus bar chassis.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR A FIREARM
A firearm includes a lower receiver that houses a power source, and an upper receiver is attached to the lower receiver. The upper receiver has at least one conductive strip that provides an electrical connection for a firearm accessory. A connector having a plug portion terminates electrical wiring connected to the power source in the lower receiver. A power switch assembly has a receptacle portion that receives the plug portion of the connector, and a fastener assembly for mounting the power switch assembly to a slot on the upper receiver. The slot provides a firearm accessory mounting location. The power switch assembly is operable to connect and disconnect a transfer of electrical power from the connector to the at least one conductive strip.
CONNECTORS FOR SMART WINDOWS
This disclosure provides connectors for smart windows. A smart window may incorporate an optically switchable pane. In one aspect, a window unit includes an insulated glass unit including an optically switchable pane. A wire assembly may be attached to the edge of the insulated glass unit and may include wires in electrical communication with electrodes of the optically switchable pane. A floating connector may be attached to a distal end of the wire assembly. The floating connector may include a flange and a nose, with two holes in the flange for affixing the floating connector to a first frame. The nose may include a terminal face that present two exposed contacts of opposite polarity. Pre-wired spacers improve fabrication efficiency and seal integrity of insulated glass units. Electrical connection systems include those embedded in the secondary seal of the insulated glass unit.
FLOATING SOCKET CONNECTOR
A socket connector is configured to mount to a component, such as a printed circuit board. The socket connector includes a base having a passageway and a channel extending outwardly from the passageway, a barrel including a wall having a flange extending outwardly therefrom, at least one biasing member engaging the flange and surrounding the wall, and a contact seated within the barrel. The wall is seated within the passageway and the flange is seated within the channel. The barrel is configured for movement within the base to align a centerline of a pin inserted into the socket connector with a centerline of the hole of the component.
High-power plug connection system
A high-power plug connection system has a cable connection housing for connecting at least two electric high-power plug connectors in order to transmit and/or distribute a high current strength and/or a high electric voltage. The cable connection housing receives at least two insulating bodies for receiving at least one respective high-power contact and at least one electrically conductive rail in an interior. The rail is designed to establish an electrically conductive connection between the at least two high-power contacts, and the insulating bodies protrude at least partly out of the interior through a respective housing opening and into a connection region, the connection region being designed to receive the high-power plug connector.
