Connection terminal structure
A connection terminal structure includes a basic element and a clamping element. The basic element is bent to be L-shaped and includes a longitudinal arm and a transverse arm connected to the longitudinal arm. An upper end of the longitudinal arm forms an engaging flange and an engaging shoulder portion. A right end of the transverse arm forms a joint portion. The clamping element comprises a resilient clamping arm, a supporting arm, and a connecting arm. The connecting arm forms an opening portion and extends from the supporting arm to the longitudinal arm. The opening portion fits around the engaging shoulder portion. A lower end of the supporting arm forms a joint end jointed to the joint portion. The resilient clamping arm connects with the supporting arm, extends to the longitudinal arm, has a front end engaging with the engaging flange, and penetrates the opening portion to move resiliently.
SOCKET
A socket includes a base and a connection fitting including a bracket and a spring member and assembled to an upper surface of the base. The spring member of the connection fitting is pressed and elastically deformed to sandwich a lead between the bracket and the spring member. A position restricting protrusion configured to come into contact with the pressed and deformed spring member and prevent plastic deformation is protruded on the upper surface of the base.
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.
SOCKET
A socket includes: a base; a connection fitting including a bracket and a spring member, configured to form pressure springs by dividing the spring member into two in a width direction by a slit provided to the spring member, and assembled to an upper surface of the base; and a case cover configured to fit to the base and to cover the connection fitting. The pressure springs of the spring member are pressed and elastically deformed by an operation driver inserted through an operation hole provided to the case cover, to sandwich between the bracket and the pressure springs a lead inserted through an insertion hole provided to the case cover. A guide partition wall configured to engage with the slit of the spring member is integrally molded with an inner surface of the case cover.
ELECTRICAL TERMINAL BLOCK
An electrical terminal block arrangement includes a terminal block with at least one housing having a first insertion opening and a second insertion opening, and a clamping body including a contact metal, a first spring, and a second spring arranged inside the housing; a discharge resistor that includes a plug-in contact, the plug-in contact being plugged in through the first insertion opening of the housing; and a capacitor that includes at least one capacitor wire, the capacitor wire being inserted. through the second insertion opening of the housing and being clamped and electrically contacted to the contact metal by the second spring. The plug-in contact of the discharge resistor is clamped and electrically contacted to the contact metal by the first spring.
CONDUCTOR CONNECTION TERMINAL
A conductor connection terminal for connecting electrical conductors to each other, having an insulating material housing, which has a first housing section with a first spring-loaded clamping connection arranged in the first housing section, and a second housing section with a second spring-loaded clamping connection arranged in the second housing section. The first housing section can be swiveled relative to the second housing section and the conductor connection terminal has a busbar structure or the electrically conductive connection of the first spring-loaded clamping connection to the second spring-loaded clamping connection. The busbar structure has a first connection section assigned to the first spring-loaded clamping connection and a second connection section assigned to the second spring-loaded clamping connection. A hinged section connects the first connection section with the second connection section.
POWER WIRING DEVICE
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. The power terminals each have a base, circuit board contacts extending from the base and being terminated to the circuit board, and wire contacts extending from the base. The wire contacts have quick connect interfaces for direct, quick connection to corresponding wires of building wiring.
CONDUCTOR TERMINAL
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.
BUS BAR INCLUDING A WIRING CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
An electrical distribution box including a bus bar with a quick connect assembly for engaging or disengaging wiring. The bus bar housing defines an interior chamber and includes a wall defining a plurality of holes and release ports therein A space bar within the chamber includes a plurality of spaced-apart fixed contacts and spring contacts. Each spring contact includes an arm that moves towards or away from the fixed contact and is partially aligned with one hole and one release port in the housing. The spring contact moves from an at rest position by inserting a wire through one of the holes. The spring contact locks the wire between itself and the fixed contact. The wire is release by inserting a tool through the release port and applying a linear force to the spring contact, thereby rotating the spring contact away from the fixed contact and releasing the wire.
CONDUCTOR TERMINAL
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.
