This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for connecting wires and interlocking wires to an electrical component. More specifically, an electrical connector that includes an insulative housing, two electrical contacts, and two interlocking contacts is disclosed. In an embodiment, each electrical contact includes a female end, a press-fit end, and a transition portion. The transition portion is designed such that the first female end and the first press-fit end may be properly aligned depending on the application. The transition portion also provides support and stability to the electrical contacts when they are disposed within the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes four contact recesses. In an embodiment, the electrical connector allows for the safe, efficient, re-usable, and reliable connection for connecting high-voltage wires to a corresponding sensitive electrical component (e.g., a printed circuit board).

A conductor connection terminal having several spring force clamping connections, each of which has at least one clamping spring, which form a clamping point for clamping an electrical conductor with an associated busbar piece. The invention also relates to an electrical connector having at least one such conductor connection terminal.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electrical connection, in particular to a self-coupled wire connector using a bend spring sheet and conductor sheet, including a main body, a spring sheet and a conductor sheet; a coupling space for accommodating the spring sheet and the conductor sheet is formed inside the main body; a wire plugging hole passing through the coupling space is formed in the main body; the spring sheet and the conductor sheet are assembled in the coupling space, and are kept in a self-coupling state through the coupling space; a wire presses against the spring sheet and the conductor sheet to force the spring sheet and the conductor sheet to be self-coupled.

A two-points-and-one-line push-in terminal capable of secure positioning includes a terminal body and a busbar, and can be mounted in a housing to form a connector. The terminal body is formed by stamping and bending an elastic metal plate, has a U-shaped longitudinal cross section, and includes a front upstanding insertion leg, a horizontal joining foot, and a rear upstanding insertion leg. The elastic metal plate can be divided by at least two slits into at least four independent sections, each having a U-shaped slit defining a pressing spring finger and a pressing frame. The busbar can be mounted on the horizontal joining foot. An electric wire can be passed through a corresponding pair of the U-shaped slits so as to abut against the free ends of the corresponding pressing spring fingers and the busbar and be restrained in the corresponding pressing frames, which serves as the two-points-and-one-line positioning mechanism.

An electrical connector housing has a plurality of socket cavities configured to receive single terminal inserts or bus inserts introduced from a rearward section. At least one row of socket cavities is formed as cylindrical cavities extending in the housing in parallel manner along an insertion direction running from the rearward to the forward section. Adjacent cavities in the row are separated by a partition wall. First locking means are provided in the socket cavities for locking in place a single terminal insert arranged in a given cavity. Second locking means are provided for locking in place a bus insert inserted in a corresponding number of socket cavities. The partition walls comprise, in the rearward section, slots extending in the insertion direction to accommodate the bus plate of the bus insert.

A busbar for electrically contacting an electrical conductor has two mutually opposing side walls and a bearing wall for the electrical conductor. The bearing wall extends between the side walls and transversely or substantially transversely to same, wherein the side walls and the bearing wall extend in an insertion direction and define a receiving space for receiving the electrical conductor. At least one electrically conductive projection is provided on one of the side walls and/or the bearing wall. The width of the projection is less than the width of the bearing wall.

An electrical element holder includes a printed circuit board having a receiver. A resilient holder is electrically engaged with the receiver. The resilient holder includes a holding portion that is defined within an outward surface of the resilient holder and between opposing resilient arms. An electrical element is secured within the holding portion between the opposing resilient arms.

A connector for holding a linear conductor by a first contact portion and a second contact portion is provided. The linear conductor is inserted through an insertion portion. The first contact portion is formed in a pressing portion configured to be deformed elastically to press the linear conductor against the second contact portion. The second contact portion is formed in a fixed portion which is not deformed elastically and the second contact portion has at least one edge portion.

A novel connection terminal includes a housing, a contact assembly and a support member. The conductive clip is integrally bent and formed by spring steel plate, and two ends of a tongue forming section of the conductive clip are respectively connected to a supporting section and an approximately C-shaped cavity section by a pre-deformed elastic arch structure. Thus, the conductive clip and the bus bar form a clamping space in which the conducting wire can be more elastically crimped, ensuring that the conducting wire is firmly connected to the connection terminal assembly, allowing stable electrical connection between multiple conducting wires. The interior of the approximately C-shaped cavity section communicating with the wire passage enlarges the accommodating space for the conducting wire accordingly, facilitates the quick insertion of the conducting wire and provides more elastic and effective pressing force.

A modular Connector with facility to terminate and connect incoming and out-going wires, eliminating any need to use pig-tails or other such arrangement, normally residing within a wall box or at other such situation; once the mains wires are connected and terminated, is designed to be finger-safe by default, can be handled, engaged and disengaged safely; and the wiring circuit may be tested at an early stage of construction; and connectible to corresponding functional device/s.
