  • Patent number: 6270384
    Abstract: A connecting terminal assembly for printed circuit boards comprising, an insulating housing 10, a connection contact 18 having an insertion opening 24 attached to the housing 10 through which a conductor can be inserted under the connection contact 18, a clamping means 26 having an elastic sidepiece 52, cooperatively associated with an actuating element 40 having a pressure surface 48 supported in the housing 10 operable between a clamping position, wherein the clamping means 34 pulls the conductor which has been inserted through the insertion opening 24 against the connection contact 18, and an open position allowing the insertion of the conductor, means mounting the actuating element 40 in such a way that it can slide back and forth to perch the actuating element 40 to an open position where it presses the elastic sidepiece 32 down so that the elastic force of the elastic sidepiece 32 locks into a latching recess 56 and when the actuating element 40 is lifted out of the latching recess 56 against the force

  • Patent number: 6045391
    Abstract: A multipole connecting terminal for electrical conductors is described, which consists of a receptacle block (10) and a contact block (12). The receptacle block (10) has receiving channels (14.1, 14.2) arranged in two rows for the conductors (15). The insulation displacement contacts (20) of the contact block (12) pass through the contact channels (18) of the receptacle block (10) and make contact with the conductors (15) in the receiving channels (14). The receptacle block (10) is made up of two component blocks (10.1, 10.2).

  • Patent number: 5951321
    Abstract: A multipin connector assembly for electrical conductors comprising a lower block 10 and an upper block 12 means defining receiving channels 14 for the conductors in the lower block which proceed from a side surface and pass through the lower block, means defining contact channels, which lead down from the top surface of the lower block disposed generally perpendicularly to said side surface, and passing into the lower block, and insulation displacement contacts 20 in the upper block of a similar array to the arrangement of contact channels, said displacement contacts projecting from the bottom surface of the block whereby when the upper block 12 is set down onto the lower block 10, the insulation displacement contacts 20 of the upper block pass through the contact channels 18 of the lower block and make contact with conductors 16 passing through the receiving channels 14 of the lower block, the lengths of the insulation displacement contacts 20 being dimensioned in such a way that as the insulation displaceme

  • Patent number: 5314360
    Abstract: A terminal block is described in which each pole comprises a screw clamp (12, 14, 16) with a conductor protection element (20, 24) and a plug contact (18). The contact blades (26, 28) of the plug contact (18) are formed in each instance as a one-piece sheetmetal stamping with the conductor protection element (20) and bring about the electrically conducting connection between the screw terminal (12, 14, 16) and the plug contact (18).
