  • Patent number: 10826207
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing which can be electrically connected on a connection side to an electrical connection part. On a contact side, one or more contacts are provided to electrically contact one or more counter-contacts of a printed circuit board. At least one latching peg assembly including two functional elements passes through an opening of the printed circuit board and can be moved by an actuation element from a non-expanded released position into an expanded latched position in which its diameter on the side of the opening which faces away from the housing is greater than the diameter of the opening of the printed circuit board. One of the functional elements is arranged on the actuation device and another element is arranged on a component of the connector which is movable relative to the actuation device.

  • Patent number: 10790602
    Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting an electrical conductor to a circuit board includes a housing electrically connected on a connecting side of the electrical connector to an electrical connecting part and including a contact side having one or more contacts, in order to make electrical contact with one or more mating contacts of the circuit board. A locking pin assembly passes through an opening of the circuit board and moves from a release position to a locking position in which its diameter on the side of the opening facing away from the housing is larger than the diameter of the opening of the circuit board. The housing includes at least one activating device and the locking pin assembly includes at least two functional elements which move relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20200127396
    Abstract: An electrical connector and method for connecting an electrical conductor to a board, especially to a circuit board, includes a housing which can be electrically connected on a connecting side of the electrical connector to an electrical connecting member or conductor. The housing includes on a contact side of the electrical connector one or more contacts in order to make electrical contact with one or more mating contacts of the circuit board. A locking pin assembly passes through an opening of the circuit board when the connector is mounted on the board and can move from a retracted release position to an expanded locking position in which its diameter on the side of the opening facing away from the housing is larger than the diameter of the opening of the circuit board. The housing includes at least one actuation device which moves relative to the housing. The locking pin assembly includes at least two functional elements able to move relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20200127395
    Abstract: The present invention relates an electrical connector (1) for connecting one or more electrical connectors to a board, in particular to a printed circuit board, which comprises at least the following features: a housing (15) which can be electrically connected on a connection side (131) of the electrical connector (1) to an electrical connection part (2) and which comprises, on a contact side (141) of the electrical connector (1), at least one or more contacts (4), in order to electrically contact one or more counter-contacts (31) of the printed circuit board (3), at least one latching peg arrangement (5) which, in the mounted state on the printed circuit board (3), passes through an opening (32) of the printed circuit board (3) and which can be moved from a non-expanded position—a release position—into an expanded position—a latching position—, in which its diameter on the side of the opening (32), which faces away from the housing (15), is greater than the diameter of the opening (32) of the printed circuit

  • Patent number: 9680237
    Abstract: A compact spring-biased connector includes a housing having a chamber containing a conductive bus bar, a clamping spring normally having an expanded clamping condition for biasing a conductor bare end toward electrical engagement with the bus bar, and a release lever pivotally connected with the housing for displacement from a normally closed clamping position toward an open position, such that a lateral projection on the clamping lever operates the clamping spring toward a compressed open condition, thereby permitting removal of the conductor bare end from the housing chamber. The clamping spring is a compression V-shaped leaf spring having a stationary support leg and a movable clamping leg, with the lateral operating projection extending within the chamber to engage the spring clamping leg adjacent its juncture with the support leg.
