  • Patent number: 8500462
    Abstract: A junction box for a solar panel comprises a housing, a lid, a first connector and a second connector. The housing comprises sidewalls and a top wall defining an interior space. The first coupling comprises a first contact element and the second coupling comprises a second contact element. Said contact elements penetrate at least one of the sidewalls, so that the contact elements provide an electrical contact from external contact elements to internal contact elements, such as solder tails. Internal contact elements are arranged at least partially in said interior space. The top wall comprises an opening extending only partially in said top wall. Said opening is located such in the top wall that access to said solder tails in a substantially perpendicular direction to the surface of a solar panel for connecting the solder tail to the solar panel is provided.

  • Patent number: 8449337
    Abstract: A plug for a tool changing system for electrically connecting a tool to a robot hand, including a plug housing to be fastened on a robot arm or on a tool. The plug housing includes a contact chamber and an accommodating chamber arranged substantially above the contact chamber. A connection module having electrically conductive elements is connected to a first peripheral device. The connection module can be arranged in the contact chamber, and a wear module having electrically conductive elements to be connected to a second peripheral device. The connection module and the wear module are arranged in the accommodating chamber. The electrically conductive elements of the connection module can be connected to the electrically conductive elements of the wear module; and the accommodating chamber is arranged in a frame element which is configured separately from the plug housing. The frame element can be connected to the plug housing.

  • Publication number: 20130034982
    Abstract: A plug-type connection comprises a housing (1) on the female-connector side having a female-connector element (3) conducting the electrical current, a housing (2) on the male-connector side having a male-connector element (4) conducting the electrical current, and at least one contact element (5) for making electrical contact between the female-connector element (3) and the male-connector element (4). The female-connector element (3) and the male-connector element (4) extend substantially along a mid-axis (M). The housing (1) on the female-connector side and the housing (2) on the male-connector side and therefore the female-connector element (3) and the male-connector element (4) can be connected to one another via a plug-in movement (S), and electrical contact between the female-connector element (3) and the male-connector element (4) is produced in the connected state. The contact element (5) produces a first resistive force (F1) counter to the plug-in movement.
