  • Publication number: 20180205159
    Abstract: A conductor terminal includes at least one insulating-material housing, at least one contact insert arranged at least partially in the insulating-material housing that has at least one contact piece and at least one clamping spring. The contact piece with the clamping spring forms at least one conductor clamping point for an electrical conductor to be contacted by the conductor terminal, which electrical conductor can be acted upon by a spring force of the clamping spring. At least one actuating lever is pivotably supported in the insulating-material housing for actuating the clamping spring. The actuating lever can be pivoted from a closed position to an open position and vice versa in relation to the insulating-material housing and/or the contact piece. An electrical conductor inserted into the conductor terminal is not acted upon by the spring force of the clamping spring at the conductor clamping point at least in the open position.

  • Patent number: 9537259
    Abstract: A plug-type connector arrangement includes a plug-type connector and an opposing plug-type connector, which each have an insulating housing and plug-type contacts in the insulating housing. The plug-type connector also includes plug-type contours configured correspondingly to one another for plugging together and for electrically conductively connecting assigned plug-type contacts in the plugged-together state. The plug-type connector arrangement also includes at least one coding element, which can be accommodated displaceably on the plug-type contours of the plug-type connector and opposing plug-type connector, and fixes a permissible plug-in position for plugging together the plug-type connector and the opposing plug-type connector.

  • Patent number: 9478907
    Abstract: A plug-type connector arrangement comprising a plug-type connector and an opposing plug-type connector, which each have an insulating housing and plug-type contact elements in the insulating housing and are designed for plugging together and for making electrical contact with assigned plug-type contact elements in the plugged-together state, is described. The opposing plug-type connector has at least one latching lug. The plug-type connector has at least one latching element, which is designed so as to interact with the latching lug in the plugged-together state so as to fasten the plug-type connector on the opposing plug-type connector. At least one detachment element provided for unlocking the latching lug is arranged displaceably on the plug-type connector.

The plug-type contours both of the plug-type connector and of the opposing plug-type connector have connecting elements. The at least one coding element has at least two connecting elements which are spaced apart from one another.
