A conductor connection terminal with a spring-loaded terminal connection for connecting an electrical conductor. The spring-loaded terminal connection has a clamping spring and an actuating mechanism for displacing at least one part of the clamping spring between an open position and a closed position.

Disclosed herein is a conductor connection clamp that includes a bus bar and a clamping spring, the clamping spring including a main portion for clamping an electrical conductor to the bus bar, the main portion and bus bar defining a clamping spring connection, and a spring member adjacent to the main portion and rigidly coupled to the main portion. The clamp further includes a housing defining a conductor insertion opening that leads to the clamping spring connection, and an operating lever configured to apply force to the spring member in order to deflect the main portion to open the clamping spring connection.

A lever connector for contacting electrical conductors may include features and improvements over other lever connectors. The lever connector includes a housing, a busbar located within the housing, one or more lever mechanisms, and one or more resilient members that connect the lever mechanisms to the busbar. The 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. The 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 surface. 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, thereby making electrical contact between the electrical conductor and the busbar.

A banana plug including a body, a male portion, a female portion, and a lever. The male portion is configured to extend from the body to electrically connect with a receptacle. In one example, the receptacle is a piece of audio/video (AV) equipment. The female portion is configured to receive a wire and/or other electrical component. The lever is configured to actuate between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the lever is configured to actuate an internal spring to receive a wire. In the closed position, the lever is configured to release the internal spring to secure and/or retain the wire via a compression force.

A conductor connection terminal having a first insulating material housing and a second insulating material housing. The first and the second insulating material housings each have a plurality of conductor insertion openings arranged side by side for inserting an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction into the insulating material housing. The first insulating material housing has a first busbar and the second insulating material housing has a second busbar, and at least two conductor insertion openings of the first insulating material housing and the second insulating material housing are each associated with a clamping spring having a clamping leg. The clamping leg and the respective busbar form a clamping point for an electrical conductor to be clamped.

A connection device for a shield conductor of an electrical line includes: a housing attachable to a potential collector, into which housing the electrical line with the shield conductor is insertable; a spring element which is arranged adjustably on the housing, which spring element has a clamping leg and is movable relative to the housing from an open position into a clamping position in order to, in the clamping position, act with the clamping leg on the shield conductor of the electrical line inserted in the housing; and a locking element which is adjustable, relative to the housing, between a locking position, in which the housing attached to the potential collector is locked with the potential collector, and an unlocking position for releasing the housing from the potential collector.

An electrical device arrangeable in a row with other electrical devices includes: a first bus section contactable with a further electrical device arranged on a first side of the electrical device; a second bus section contactable with a further electrical device arranged on a second side of the electrical device facing away from the first side; and a contact device, to which an electrical assembly is connectable, and which includes a contact element for establishing an electrical connection between the first bus section and the second bus section when the contact device is not connected to the electrical assembly, and, when the contact device is connected to the electrical assembly, is displaced in order to disconnect the first bus section and the second bus section from one another.

A connector is disclosed. The connector comprises a housing having an insertion passageway, an operating lever having an end pivotably connected to the housing, and a spring having a first end fixed to the operating lever and an opposite second end extending into an interior of the connector. The operating lever is movable between an open position and a closed position. The second end of the spring closes the insertion passageway when the operating lever is in the closed position.

A conductor terminal having an insulating material housing and having at least one spring-loaded clamping connection in the insulating material housing and also having at least one actuation element, which is pivotably accommodated in the insulating material housing and is designed to open in each case at least one associated spring-loaded clamping connection, is described. The actuation element has two side wall portions which are spaced from one another and at least partially enter the insulating material housing with a pivot bearing region and, opposite said pivot bearing region, are connected to each other by a transverse web to form a lever arm. The pivot bearing regions of the mutually distanced side wall portions of an actuation element form an axis of rotation, about which the actuation element is pivotably mounted in the insulating material housing. An associated spring-loaded clamping connection is at least partially accommodated in the space between the pivot bearing regions of an actuation element. The pivot bearing regions have actuation portions, which in each case are designed in order to act on an associated clamping spring of a spring-loaded clamping connection as the actuation element is pivoted from a closed position into an open position. The adjacent side wall portions of two actuation elements arranged adjacently in the insulating material housing border one another directly.

A wire terminal connector is adapted for connecting with an electrical lead, and includes an insulating case unit formed with an entrance hole, and a conductive unit received in the case unit and including a base member, two resilient clamping plates and a receiving space. Each of the clamping plates has a main portion extending from the base member, a clamping portion extending from the main portion in a direction away from the entrance hole, and a pressed portion extending from the clamping portion away from the base member. The receiving space has a quadrilateral cross section, is constricted in the direction and receives the lead. The clamping portions removably clamp the lead. Each clamping portion has a height less than that of the main portion.
