  • Patent number: 7544103
    Abstract: A terminal block for connecting electrical conductors has a first clamping spring element (20) and a second clamping spring element (30) for clamping the electrical conductor. The first and second clamping spring elements (20, 30) are vertically offset from each other, and with an operating element for opening the clamping spring elements against the spring force. A first operating element (40) is provided for the first clamping spring element (20) and a second operating element (50) for the second clamping spring element (30). The first and second operating elements (40, 50) can be actuated independently from each other.

  • Patent number: 7338327
    Abstract: A coupling with two sleeves facing in opposite directions for the plugs of two shielded data cables that are to be connected to each other is in particular configured as an RJ 45 coupling. A printed circuit board (10) carries a contact assembly for each of the sleeves and connects the corresponding contacts (12) with each other. Two partial shells (14) made of an electrically insulating material envelop and hold the printed circuit board (10). An electrically conductive housing (40) is essentially U-shaped, with its longitudinal axis extending in the plug-in direction of the sleeves. The partial shells (14), together with the printed circuit board (10) they envelop, are insertable in the housing (40) as modules and can be attached firmly in the housing (40). An electrically conductive sheet metal cover (60) covers the modules on the open side of the housing (40) and engages with molded contacting prongs (62) in the sleeves for the purpose of contacting the shields of the plugs inserted into the sleeves.
