A connector is disclosed. The connector has a housing and a conductive terminal disposed in the housing. The conductive terminal has a pair of resilient contact arms biased toward each other and a releasing mechanism adapted to move the pair of resilient contact arms away from each other.

A clamping body formed from an integral sheet-metal punched part by bending processes, wherein the sheet-metal punched part has a central portion, upon which a spring arm portion is arranged on a first side and a contact-pressure surface portion on a second side, and, starting from the central portion, the spring arm portion is divided into a first part and an adjoining second part with a free end, where the first part is bent upwards, the second part is bent downwards and the contact-pressure surface portion is bent upwards, where the central portion lies opposite the opening, the downwardly bent second part forms a guide surface for the plug-in part to be plugged in within an opening, the first part exerts a spring force in the direction of the contact-pressure surface portion, so that a plug-in part plugged in via the guide surface is secured.

A lever connector includes a housing, a busbar located within the housing, lever mechanisms, and resilient members that connect the lever mechanisms to the busbar. Each lever mechanism includes a lever located on a near side of the busbar bridge and a lifting mechanism located on a far side of the busbar bridge opposite the near side of the busbar bridge. Each resilient member includes a fixed section connected to the busbar bridge and a clamping section connected to the lifting mechanism. When the lever is actuated and lifted upwards and away from the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section of the resilient member to release away from the busbar base surf ace. When the lever is closed and pushed downward toward the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section of the resilient member downward to push the electrical conductor against the busbar base surface.

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a housing; a busbar; a clamping spring including a clamping leg transferrable into a clamping position and into a release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably arranged guide element, which is in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; a release element, which, in the release position of the clamping leg of the clamping spring, is in engagement with the guide element, the release element during insertion of the conductor to be connected into the conductor connection space being actuatable thereby such that the release element comes out of engagement with the guide element and the guide element is displaceable by a spring force of the clamping leg.

A conductor terminal includes a rubber shell, control pieces, and clamping springs. A connecting section is formed in a height direction of each of the clamping springs. Each connecting section is connected between a highest position and a lowest position of each of the clamping springs. A total length of each connecting section is greater than a distance between the highest position and the lowest position of each of the clamping springs, making each connecting section more extended and disposed within the entire clamping spring. Moreover, the conductor terminal is flattened, which increases the size in the plug-in direction and significantly reduces the overall height, making the wiring connection more efficient and tighter. In this way, the conductor terminal is narrowed, and the conductor terminal product is made lighter and thinner.

A protective earthing contact for connecting a protective earth line with an electrically conductive carrier element in an the electrically conducting manner, wherein the protective earthing contact has a base portion, wherein two side elements project from the base portion and a respective side element has an upper region, wherein the upper regions have a latching region for clamping the protective earthing contact onto the carrier element and wherein at least one side element has a protective earth contact element for making contact to the carrier element in an electrically conducting manner. Each of the upper regions has a contact-making region, wherein the latching region and the protective earth contact element are substantially arranged at the same height in relation to the base portion.

A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a housing; a busbar; a clamping spring including a clamping leg transferrable into a clamping position and into a release position; an actuator by which a compressive force is applicable to the clamping leg for transferring the clamping leg from the clamping position into the release position; a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and of the clamping leg of the clamping spring; a displaceably arranged guide element in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; and a release element, which in the release position of the clamping leg of the clamping spring is in engagement with the guide element. The release element, during insertion of the conductor to be connected into the conductor connection space, actuates by the insertion.

The present disclosure provides descriptions of configurations for wire connectors used to splice low voltage electrical conductors or to splice high voltage electrical conductors. The wire connectors may be coupled to form a wire connector assembly. Each wire connector includes a base, a cover, a first cover coupling assembly and a second first cover coupling assembly. The base has an upper wall and a lower wall and can be divided into a first end portion, a second end portion and a central portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. The cover has a main cover member, a first movable cover member movably connected to a first side of the main cover member and a second movable cover member movably connected to a second side of the main cover member. The main cover member includes a plurality of contact chambers, where each contact chamber includes at least one electrical contact positioned within a cavity of the contact chamber. The first cover coupling assembly is associated with the first end portion of the base and the first movable cover member of the cover. The second cover coupling assembly is associated with the second end portion of the base and the second movable cover member of the cover. The cover assemblies are used to releasably couple the movable cover members to the base.

A conductor connection terminal with a contact insert that has a bus bar and a clamping spring, and with a housing that has a first housing part and a second housing part and that at least partially encloses the contact insert, wherein the first housing part has a first housing wall with a receiving structure for receiving the contact insert, and the second housing part has multiple additional housing walls for covering the contact insert received by the first housing part. A conductor connection terminal is also provided with a contact insert that has a bus bar and a clamping spring, and with a housing that has a first housing part and a second housing part and that at least partially encloses the contact insert. The first housing part has a first conductor insertion channel section and the second housing part has a second conductor insertion channel section.

A connective terminal for electrical contact with a mating member includes a first side wall and a cantilever-type contact. The cantilever-type contact has a fixed end disposed adjacent to the first side wall, a free end, and a first protrusion disposed on the cantilever-type contact and protruding toward the first side wall. The free end moves toward the first side wall and the first protrusion abuts against the first side wall when the mating member enters the connective terminal and contacts the cantilever-type contact.
