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.

An electrical connector includes a housing and a conductive terminal. The housing includes a terminal slot and an insertion entrance in front of the terminal slot. The conductive terminal is correspondingly mounted in the terminal slot. The conductive terminal comprises a base portion, two side portions and two elastic arms, the base portion extends in a front-rear direction, the two side portions extend upwardly respectively at two sides of a rear end of the base portion, the two elastic arms extend respectively from the two side portions toward the insertion entrance of the housing so that a front end of each elastic arm is close to the insertion entrance. As depicted, a clamping portion is formed close to the front end of each elastic arm by punching a tab therein.

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.

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.

Various conductor terminals are described each having one or more lever-like, actuating elements that are designed to open one or more corresponding spring clamps related to one or more corresponding conductor ports wherein.

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.

The present disclosure relates to wire terminals and/or termination mechanisms arranged and configured for use with a wiring device. In particular, the present disclosure relates to wire terminals utilizing an actuator and a spring clamp. In some embodiments, the actuator is a rotary actuator. In use, in the second position, the actuator contacts an extended leg of the spring clamp to manipulate the spring clamp to facilitate insertion of an electrical wire therein. In the first position, the spring clamp secures the wire within the device and in contact with the electrical terminal of the wiring device. In some embodiments, the wiring device is selected from one of a plug and connector type device or a pin and sleeve type device.

A wire connection terminal holding structure includes an insulation outer case and a conductive holding frame disposed in the outer case. The outer case is formed with a wire socket and a perforation. The holding frame includes an electrical connection member and elastic members respectively disposed on two sides of the electrical connection member. Each of the elastic members extends to form a holding section. The holding sections extend toward each other to define therebetween a holding mouth corresponding to the wire socket and a wire insertion space positioned between the holding sections in communication with the holding mouth. A split is formed between top edges of the holding sections. A pushbutton is disposed in the perforation for pushing and opening/closing the holding mouth. A stop section is disposed on at least one of the holding sections of the elastic members for blocking the split.

A conductor terminal (1) having an insulating material housing (2) and having at least one spring-loaded clamping connection (11) in the insulating material housing (2) and also having at least one actuation element (4), which is pivotably accommodated in the insulating material housing (2) and is designed to open in each case at least one associated spring-loaded clamping connection (11), is described. The actuation element (4) has two side wall portions (8a, 8b) which are spaced from one another and at least partially enter the insulating material housing (2) with a pivot bearing region (14) and, opposite said pivot bearing region (14), are connected to each other by a transverse web (5) to form a lever arm. The pivot bearing regions (14) of the mutually distanced side wall portions (8a, 8b) of an actuation element (4) form an axis of rotation (D), about which the actuation element (4) is pivotably mounted in the insulating material housing (2). An associated spring-loaded clamping connection (11) is at least partially accommodated in the space between the pivot bearing regions (14) of an actuation element (4).

The actuation portions (16) extend parallel to the side wall portions (8a, 8b) and are formed integrally with the side wall portions (8a, 8b), such that in each case a guide slot (30) is provided between an actuation portion (16) and the associated, directly adjacent side wall portion (8a, 8b), and in that a guide web (27) of the insulating material housing (2) in each case enters an associated guide slot (30) for guiding the actuation element (4) in the event of a pivot motion about an axis of rotation (D) in the pivot bearing region (14).

The Present Disclosure relates to a poke-in connector configured so that a wire can be contacted at the same time it is locked to a terminal, solely by the action of pushing the wire into the terminal. More specifically, it relates to a poke-in connector that facilitates locking and unlocking of a wire. The poke-in connector of the Present Disclosure comprises a terminal where a wire is inserted and locked while making contact, and a housing that covers the terminal and is formed as one piece with a locking release lever that releases the wire from the locked state. The locking release lever comprises a flexible extension part that has elasticity and extends from the housing, and a pressing part that is formed on the terminus of the flexible extension part and enables the removal of the wire by spreading the locking part of the terminal to either side when pressed.
