  • Patent number: 8029312
    Abstract: A plug-and-socket connector with a base strip for a printed circuit board connection and with a male connector having a socket housing projecting on its insertion side having a right-angle cross-sectional base form and opposite longitudinal sides corresponding to this base form and a front side between them. Insertion openings of plug receivers for contact elements are arranged in series in the longitudinal direction of the front side. The plug receivers are parallel extend to the front side and are permanently arranged on the base strip in an alignment corresponding to the insertion openings. A guide element for connecting the base strip to the male connector is provided in a mounted state of the male connector on the base strip between two insertion openings of the male connector and two plug receivers of the base strip corresponding to the two insertion openings.

  • Patent number: 7896686
    Abstract: An electric connection clamp or terminal clamp for connecting a terminal conductor has a clamp spring and a metal part. The clamp spring has a clamp limb and a contact limb, a recess for introducing the electric conductor being formed in said contact limb. The clamp limb and the contact limb are curved in such a manner that the end of the clamp limb penetrates through the recess. The end of the clamp limb and the contact limb form a spring force clamping connection for the conductor that is to be connected. The ends of the limbs each have a securing section and the securing section of the contact limb extends counter to the direction of introduction of the conductor through the recess.

  • Patent number: 7083463
    Abstract: An electrical supply or connecting terminal with a clamping spring and a metal part, the clamping spring having a clamping leg and a contact leg, and the metal part having a conductor bar piece. The clamping leg and the conductor bar piece form a spring force clamp connection for the electrical conductor. The contact leg of the clamping spring has a recess for insertion of the electrical conductor, and an end of the clamping leg extends through the recess. The clamping spring has a retaining section which runs essentially parallel to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor and parallel to the conductor bar piece and the conductor bar piece has been inserted though the recess in a direction opposite the insertion direction of the electrical conductor, the conductor bar piece being clamped securely between the end of the clamping leg and the retaining section.
