Abstract: The present invention relates to a plug-type connection (1) for an electrical connection between a first line (2) and a second line (3), comprising a contact bolt (4) which can be connected to the first line (2), a collet (5) which can be connected to the second line (3) and has a cutout (6) for inserting the contact bolt (4), has a conical collet outer face (7) and has at least n slots (8) for forming n clamping jaws, where n?1, and a clamping ring (9) with a conical clamping ring inner face (10) against which the conical collet outer face (7) bears, wherein the at least one clamping jaw can be clamped against the contact bolt (4) as a result of a relative movement between the collet (5) and the clamping ring (9).

Abstract: A connector module for connecting the bare end of an insulated electrical conductor with an electrical device, including a hollow generally-rectangular terminal cage body formed from a bent conductive first metal sheet to form at least one vertical generally rectangular side wall and a pair of end walls, one of the cage walls having a horizontal lower surface defining a first cage sealing surface, and a vertical interior wall surface defining a second cage sealing surface; a horizontal bus bar formed from a conductive second metal sheet and having a relatively broad horizontal top surface defining a horizontal first bus bar sealing surface, and a relatively narrow side surface defining a vertical second bus bar sealing surface; and a securing seam for securing one of the bus bar first and second sealing surfaces with the corresponding one of the cage first and second sealing surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus for creating an electrical connection with a surgical tool is provided that is capable of engaging the shafts of rotatable surgical tools having varying diameters. In one aspect, the apparatus includes a body of nonconductive material connected to a pair of spaced, electrical contact members that provide two spaced points of contact with the tool shaft. In another aspect, a contact arm is provided which pivots within a slot formed within a housing to receive larger diameter tool shafts. Additionally, the contact arm closes an opening on the housing and resiliently shifts to an open position as the contact arm is brought into engagement with the tool shaft. A method of connecting a conductor assembly to a rotatable tool shaft is also provided which includes using tension in the conductor assembly to resist rotation of a gripping end of the assembly connected to a rotatable tool.

Abstract: A spring-force terminal point for an electrical conductor (8) with a clamping spring (1) and with a busbar (2) such that, in a clamping position, the conductor (8) bears against the busbar (2) under the pressure of the clamping spring (1), a tension lever (11) holding, with a latching cam (12), the clamping spring (1) in an opening position, and the tension lever (11) being capable of being triggered by means of a rotary movement so as to move the clamping spring (1) out of its opening position into its clamping position.

Abstract: Improved terminal blocks having inserts comprising a spring-loaded stirrup for clamping electrical conductors, together with a screw for adjusting the clamping action of the stirrup and for releasably locking the stirrup in a fully open position to permit insertion of an electrical conductor, a mechanism for quickly and easily releasing the stirrup when the conductor is in a desired position, and an attachment member for releasably securing the block to a mounting rail.

Abstract: An arrangement for clamping an electric conductor includes a clamping cage having a threaded bore centered on a central axis. A clamping screw is received in the threaded bore for threading in and out along a predetermined path centered on the central axis. An insertion receptacle for the electric conductor is accommodated in the clamping cage and extends substantially parallel to the central axis. A pressure member is mounted in the clamping cage for pivoting about a pivot axis out of and back into an open position thereof and extends into the predetermined path. A spring urges the pressure member toward its open position. The spring is an integral unitary portion of the clamping cage and extends from an outer contour of the clamping cage towards the pressure member.
