  • Patent number: 7644541
    Abstract: A terminal for enameled electric wires, of the type constituted by a plate-like body which forms a connecting fork with tabs which cantilever inward on the same plane of arrangement as the plate-like body; the tabs face each other so as to form a self-centering tapered opening for guiding the insertion of an electric wire with insulating enameling, the wire being adapted to be locked between the ends of the tips of the tabs and an abutment formed on the plate-like body proximate to the ends, with an axis which lies transversely to the arrangement of the plate-like body; the tips form a cut-through slot whose transverse dimensions are smaller than the diameter of the enameled wire, so as to cut through at least its insulating layer during its passage between them and provide electrical contact. At least one of the facing edges of the cut-through tips has a serrated portion in order to scrape and remove the layer of enamel from the surface of the enameled electric wire.

  • Patent number: 7270564
    Abstract: An electrical connector for transmitting low-voltage signals among electronic units in domotic networks comprising a box-like connection shell, forming internally at least one receptacle for a corresponding electrical terminal; the terminal constituted by two parts, a first part for fixing to one or more electrical wires and a second part for reversible coupling to a connection pin to be coupled to an electronic board. The first part comprises a plate on which a through hole is formed centrally, within the plate. The through hole is constituted by a first portion for insertion of the electrical wires and a second portion for connection to wires, which opens onto the first portion and has two converging internal edges for stripping and contact with the wires. The second part of the terminal is constituted by two converging wings, protruding from a connection bridge.

  • Patent number: 7108565
    Abstract: A connection assembly for electrical cables, for connection to connectors with cylindrical-pin terminals, having a connector with guides inside for stable locking and accommodation of electrical terminals. Each terminal is constituted by a base with portions folded so as to form a substantially three-dimensional volume. Two opposite elastically flexible wings protrude from the folded portions toward the crimping region of the terminal converging toward the longitudinal centerline of the terminal. Free ends of the wings inserted in a corresponding guide are arranged in recesses which are undercut with respect to the direction of insertion and are formed on opposite sides of an internal rib of the guide; the connector is provided with an abutment for the non-crimped end of the corresponding inserted electrical terminal locked between the recesses and the abutment.

  • Patent number: 7014504
    Abstract: An electrical connector for winding in coils, comprising a box-like shell and a corresponding closure cover that is connected monolithically in a cantilevered fashion, by means of a flexible connection, to an end edge of the box-like shell. The box-like shell forms inside it at least one receptacle for accommodating a corresponding electrical terminal. The electrical connector comprises at least one retention tooth, formed on the end portion of the box-like shell, which can be coupled to a complementary engagement receptacle formed on the cover of a similar connector in order to provide a series engagement for winding in coils.
