  • Patent number: 11600934
    Abstract: A conductor terminal with an insulating material housing and a spring-force terminal connection. The spring-force terminal connection has a contact body which is shaped out of a sheet element and has a base portion, lateral wall portions that protrude from the base portion and are mutually spaced, and solder connection contact tongues. The base portion together with the lateral wall portions forms a conductor receiving channel for receiving an electric conductor, and leaf spring tongues protrude from the lateral wall portions so as to face one another, each leaf spring tongue has a clamping edge for clamping an electric conductor received in the conductor receiving channel. The insulating material housing has a conductor insertion opening which leads to the conductor receiving channel on the front face.

  • Patent number: 7988504
    Abstract: The plug connector has a housing made of insulating material which includes an opening on one face for insertion of conductive contact pins and another opening on another face for insertion of the stripped ends of electrical conductors. There is a spring force terminal connection in each conductor connection area which pushes the stripped end of a conductor toward the contact pin insertion opening. The width (B1) of a passage for a contact pin is less than the width (B2) in the contact area adjacent to the contact pin insertion opening. The stripped end of the electrical conductor makes contact at a conductor contact section and can be moved against the spring force of an associated spring element.

  • Patent number: 7845970
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector for connecting a contact pin to an electrical conductor. It is proposed that the insulator housing of the connector provide a connecting space, in which the contact pin and the electrical conductor can be plugged in opposite direction in roughly parallel alignment and overlap by their axial lengths, the conductor being able to move crosswise to its conductor axis within a range of movement permitted by the construction and the leaf springs of the conductor clamp connection pressing the conductor in the direction of the contact pin.

  • Patent number: RE44490
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical clamp connector and connecting terminal that, per pole, has at least two conductor terminal connections oriented in the same direction and an additional connecting contact on the opposite-lying side, which serves for connecting a countercontact external to the terminal. It is proposed for such a terminal to use the especially small-construction design features of a terminal that is produced from a single piece of spring steel sheet and a busbar rod, and to combine these with the new features that the busbar rod has one or two cross projections, which project through the free opening in the spring steel sheet and form the additional connecting contact, which, for example, may be constructed in the form of a socket contact or in the form of a plug-in contact.
