WIRE TERMINALS AND METHOD OF USES

The present disclosure relates to wire terminals and/or termination mechanisms arranged and configured for use with a wiring device. The wire terminals may be used in any suitable line-voltage wiring device. The wire terminals are arranged and configured to selectively receive a distal end of a wire therein.

Connector assembly for an electrical device
10014595 · 2018-07-03 ·

A wire connector assembly for an electrical device such as a circuit breaker. The assembly includes a housing with electrically conductive fixed and spring contacts located therein and between which a wire may be secured. The spring contact includes a rotatable arm that is biased toward the fixed contact. An electrically non-conductive release actuator is located within the interior of the housing and is rotatable between a first position and a second position when a linear force is applied thereto. When the release actuator is in the first position, a first end of the release actuator is remote from the fixed contact and the spring contact. When the release actuator is moved to the second position, the first end of the release actuator is rotated to be located partially between the fixed contact and the spring contact, opening a gap therebetween and from which the wire may be removed.

Conductor terminal
10014596 · 2018-07-03 · ·

A conductor terminal with an insulating housing that has a conductor insertion opening for inserting an electrical conductor and a contact pin insertion opening for inserting a contact pin, with a clamping spring for clamping an electrical conductor, wherein the clamping spring has a clamping leg with a clamping edge oriented so as to rest against the electrical conductor to be clamped, has a spring bend, and has a support leg, wherein the conductor insertion opening leads to the clamping edge in order to guide the electrical conductor to a clamping point formed by the clamping edge, and wherein the contact pin insertion opening extends into the interior of the insulating housing in the opposite direction to the conductor insertion opening and leads to the support leg in order to guide the contact pin for clamping to the support leg.

PLUG-IN CONNECTOR
20180183174 · 2018-06-28 ·

A plug-in connector includes a housing containing at least two chambers into each of which a plug-in contact that can be connected to a conductor is inserted. The plug-in contact is arranged in an insert which includes a conductor receptacle by which the plug-in contact can be connected to a particular conductor without a tool. An insert is inserted into each of the chambers.

Contacts for Junction Boxes on Solar Panels

A connection box with reliable and yet inexpensive contacts for solar panels to enable the use of multiple types of passive and active covers for different functionalities in the junction box built into the panel.

SPRING TERMINAL CONTACT FOR CONTACT-CONNECTION OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS, CONDUCTOR CONNECTION TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SPRING TERMINAL CONTACT
20180145428 · 2018-05-24 · ·

A spring terminal contact for contact-connection of electrical conductors to at least one busbar and at least one clamping spring, which has a resting limb, a spring bend adjoining the resting limb and a clamping limb adjoining the spring bend. The clamping limb has a clamping section at the free end, and frame parts extend away from the busbar, each frame part having two side webs spaced apart from one another and the side webs having transverse webs connecting to one another and a conductor passage opening formed by the side webs and the transverse webs. The at least one clamping spring is secured to the at least one busbar by the resting limb of the clamping spring resting on a transverse web and/or a holding element of the busbar such that the clamping section acts under the spring force of the clamping spring in the direction of the busbar.

SET COMPRISING A CONDUCTOR CONNECTION TERMINAL AND AN ACCESSORY ELEMENT

A set comprising a conductor connection terminal and an accessory element for fastening to the conductor connection terminal. The conductor connection terminal has a conductor connection for connecting an electrical conductor and has a conductor insertion channel for inserting and guiding the electrical conductor to the conductor connection. The conductor connection terminal has, in addition to the conductor insertion channel, an accessory insertion channel, in which the accessory element can be selectively fastened with a fastening section of the accessory element.

CONDUCTOR TERMINAL
20180076536 · 2018-03-15 · ·

A conductor terminal with an insulating housing that has a conductor insertion opening for inserting an electrical conductor and a contact pin insertion opening for inserting a contact pin, with a clamping spring for clamping an electrical conductor, wherein the clamping spring has a clamping leg with a clamping edge oriented so as to rest against the electrical conductor to be clamped, has a spring bend, and has a support leg, wherein the conductor insertion opening leads to the clamping edge in order to guide the electrical conductor to a clamping point formed by the clamping edge, and wherein the contact pin insertion opening extends into the interior of the insulating housing in the opposite direction to the conductor insertion opening and leads to the support leg in order to guide the contact pin for clamping to the support leg.

Connector

A connector is connectable with a conductive core of a cable which is inserted from a front of the connector along a front-rear direction. The connector comprises a shell and a spring member. The shell is made of a metal. The shell has an operation portion and a contact portion. The spring member is made of another metal which is harder than the metal of the shell. The spring member has an operated portion and a press portion. When the operation portion moves the operated portion, the press portion is moved away from the contact portion. The press portion presses the conductive core against the contact portion under a connection state where the conductive core is connected with the connector.
