Publication number: 20260112826Abstract: A connection terminal with a housing, and multiple conductor clamping connections to which at least one electrical conductor is connectable in each case to a clamping point by means of elastic force. The conductor clamping connections are arranged in the housing in a circular shape around a center. The conductor connection terminal has a sliding actuating element with a manual actuating surface for manually actuating multiple or all conductor clamping connections and/or the electrical conductor. The housing may be designed as an insulation material housing. An electrical plug connector, in particular a circular plug connector, having at least one such conductor connection terminal is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2025Publication date: April 23, 2026Applicant: WAGO Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Joel PALTEN, Henning MEIER

Patent number: 12080980Abstract: A contact element for connecting an electrical conductor and a conductor terminal with such a contact element are provided. The contact element includes a conductor insertion area in which there are two opposite first side walls, a first floor section connecting the first side walls and a first cover section opposite the first floor section. The first side walls, the first floor section and the first cover section limit a conductor insertion channel. One or both first side walls each have at least one spring tongue freed from the first floor section and the first cover section, which tongue forms a clamping point for clamping an electrical conductor by means of a spring force.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: WAGO Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Henning Meier, Thomas Witte

Patent number: 11228139Abstract: A plug connector of an electrical plug connection, the electrical plug connection including a mating connector to which the plug connector can be plugged in a plug-in direction. The plug connector has a housing and electrical plug contacts, which are arranged at least partially in the housing and are arranged side by side in a series direction. A first housing wall of the housing, which is arranged parallel to a plane spanned by the plug-in direction and the series direction, adjoins a second housing wall. The normal of the second housing wall points approximately in the plug-in direction and is arranged at an angle to the first housing wall. A third housing wall adjoins the second housing wall. Some of the housing walls may include fastening elements formed as grooves or recesses by which functional elements, such as latches or coding elements, may be attached to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: WAGO Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Rudolf Mastel, Marcel Pahl, Henning Meier, Philipp Ober-Woerder
