  • Patent number: 10297931
    Abstract: A conductor connection contact element for clamping an electrical conductor, having a power rail piece and a clamping spring. The power rail piece is formed from a sheet-metal part with an oppositely situated second side wall, a base section and an oppositely situated cover section. The side walls, together with the base section and the cover section, border a conductor insertion channel. The clamping spring is arranged on the power rail piece. The clamping spring has an abutment section and a clamping section with a clamping edge for clamping the electrical conductor. The abutment section is arranged on the base section of the power rail piece. The freely movable end of the clamping section extends toward the cover section. An actuation section which is accessible to an actuation tool lies adjacent to the clamping edge in the direction of the side wall.

  • Patent number: 10153575
    Abstract: A conductor connection contact element for clamping an electrical conductor having at least one resilient force clamping connection. At least one first SMD-solder contact is arranged on an assembly face of the conductor connection contact element and configured for soldering to a contact surface. A conductor inserting region is formed by a sheet metal part of the conductor connection contact element. At least one conductor guiding base is oriented so as to form a guiding surface for the electrical conductor that is to be inserted. A material portion of the sheet metal part is adapted to be bent over at least one curved region to form a first SMD-solder contact and a region of the conductor guiding base that is oriented in an oblique manner with respect to the conductor inserting direction is adjacent to the at least one curved region.

  • Publication number: 20180294584
    Abstract: A conductor terminal with an insulating material housing and a spring-force terminal connection. The spring-force terminal connection has a contact body which is shaped out of a sheet element and has a base portion, lateral wall portions that protrude from the base portion and are mutually spaced, and solder connection contact tongues. The base portion together with the lateral wall portions forms a conductor receiving channel for receiving an electric conductor, and leaf spring tongues protrude from the lateral wall portions so as to face one another, each leaf spring tongue has a clamping edge for clamping an electric conductor received in the conductor receiving channel. The insulating material housing has a conductor insertion opening which leads to the conductor receiving channel on the front face.
