The invention relates to an electrical connection system (7) for an electrical device, such as an electrical terminal block, said electrical connection system (7) comprising: a conductive bar (21) including an electrical contact region (45) arranged to cooperate with a conductive portion (13) of an electrical conductor (13) in a connected position, and an engagement zone (35) arranged to engage with a portion (15) of a support rail (15) in an engaged position; a leaf spring (23); and a retaining device (49) arranged to retain the support rail (15) in the engaged position, the conductive bar (21) consisting of a conductive strip.

An electrical device includes a housing that is intended to be mounted on a rail, and a monitoring and/or control module including a printed circuit board. In the configuration in which the electrical device is mounted on the rail, at least one ground terminal of the printed circuit board is permanently electrically connected to the rail by elastic mechanical bearing on and direct electrical contact with a connecting element, itself elastically mechanically bearing on and making direct electrical contact with the rail or with an elastic blocking member for elastically blocking the housing on the rail.

A method for grounding a hybrid or electric road vehicle which has been involved in an accident, includes making contact with a body of a road vehicle which has been involved in an accident using a first grounding tool, and subsequently grounding a second grounding tool which is connected to the first grounding tool via an electrical line and an apparatus for grounding a hybrid or electric road vehicle which has been involved in an accident. The apparatus has a grounding line, a drive-in tool for being driven into a body of the road vehicle, and a grounding stake for being planted into the ground. The drive-in tool is connected to one end of the grounding line and the grounding stake is connected to the other end of the grounding line.

A support is configured to be attached to and supported by a surface and to a channel running from the first end to the opposing second end of the support. The support carries a first magnetic electrical connector in a first end of the channel and a second magnetic electrical connector, wired to the first, in the opposing, second end of the channel. The first magnetic electrical connector is in electrical connection with the second magnetic electrical connector via at least one electrical conductor. An electrical current applied to the first magnetic electrical connector is conveyed by that electrical conductor to the second magnetic electrical connector. Wiring is directed through holed in the support to access points in the outer surface of the support where the user may access electrical current for operating appliances, charging batteries, and passing digital information. The supports may be decorative molding such as baseboards, crown molding, and chair rails.

A radio frequency (RF) connector block assembly having a plurality of connector pin assemblies mounted within a multi-connector block is disclosed. Each connector pin assembly has a dielectric and a contact pin positioned in a housing. Multiple housings may be independently removably mounted in the multi-connector block with independently movable contact pins. A first end of each contact pin is adapted to provide electrical continuity with an external component, for example, a connector, and a second end of each contact pin terminates distally in a connection feature, which may be connected to an external structure, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB). Each contact pin moves axially in response to movement of the connection feature by engagement with the PCB.

A carrier rail housing comprises: a carrier rail receiving opening into which the holding legs of a carrier rail are insertable; a locking mechanism to secure the holding legs in a desired mounting position and comprising locking slides to interlock with the carrier rail housing in a locking position; a plug-in contact element arranged inside the carrier rail housing to face the carrier rail receiving opening; and a bus connector into which plug-in contacts of the plug-in contact element are insertable, the bus connector being connectable to a plug-in contact element of at least one additional carrier rail housing, wherein each of the locking slides comprises a first end that comprises a holding section that extends in sections into the carrier rail receiving opening in the locking position, so that the bus connector is secured between the holding sections of the locking slides and the plug-in contact element.
