The invention provides a modular electrical power transfer device that enables push-in, pull-out connection between electrical power supply wires and interface components. An electrical power transfer device of the invention includes at least two physically isolated electrical buses mounted within a non-conducting housing. Each electrical bus includes a blade connector and one or more wire shark-bite connectors. The wire shark-bite connectors can engage with electrical power supply wires, the resulting mechanical and electrical connections enable the electrical bus to receive power from the connected supply wires and redistribute electrical power to another device connected to the electrical bus. The blade connector can engage with a blade contact from an interface component, the resulting mechanical and electrical connections enable transfer of electrical power from the electrical bus to the interface component. The non-conductive housing includes: (1) blade interface ports through which blade contacts from interface components can access blade connectors on electrical buses mounted within the housing, and (2) wire interface ports through which electrical wires can access the wire shark-bite connectors on electrical buses within the housing. The non-conductive housing optionally includes one or more wire release ports through which a connected wire can be disengaged from a wire shark-bite connector on an electrical bus within the housing.

A connector is disclosed. The connector comprises a housing and at least one conductive terminal received in the housing. The housing has a flange mounted on a first surface of a circuit board and a body extending through the circuit board beyond an opposite second surface of the circuit board. The body has an insertion hole. The at least one conductive terminal has a pair of resilient contact arms contacting a wire inserted through the insertion hole, a pair of solder feet soldered to the circuit board and electrically connected to the pair of resilient contact arms, and a releasing mechanism adapted to move the pair of resilient contact arms away from each other to release the wire.

A clip for making a mechanical and electrically conductive connection between the clip and an electrically conductive pin. The clip has a base, and a first arm and an opposite second arm projecting out from the base. The first and the second arms each having a clipping area, the clipping areas of the first and second arms running toward one another and being designed to lie against the pin to make the mechanical and electrically conductive connection when the pin is arranged between the clipping areas of the first and second arms, respectively. A centering area departs from each of the clipping areas, that is, the clipping area of the first arm and the clipping area of the second arm, the centering area of the first arm and the centering area of the second arm diverging from one another.

A power wiring device includes a front housing having a power component at a user interface and a rear housing having a wire interface. The front and rear housings define a cavity. Control electronics are received in the cavity and include a circuit board and a controller coupled to the circuit board. The controller has control circuitry for controlling a power function of the power wiring device. The power component is coupled to the circuit board and affected by the power function. A plurality of power terminals are coupled to the circuit board.
