Abstract: A low-voltage connector provided with a plurality of pins arranged in pairs, each pin being provided with a contact zone at the front of the connector, which contact zone serves to come into electrical contact when an associated connector is plugged in, and with a connection zone at the rear of the connector, which connection zone normally serves to establish electrical connection with a respective conductor wire, an adapter provided with connection means co-operating, instead of said conductor wires, with the connection zones of the pins and with contact means serving to come into electrical contact with a separate component, wherein said connection zones comprise insulation-displacement contacts provided with slots, and the connection means of the adapter comprise pins inserted into the slots of the insulation-displacement contacts.

Abstract: A low-voltage male connector designed to be plugged into a low-voltage female connector having a plurality of flexible pins serving to come into contact with the male connector so as to establish electrical contact between the male connector and the female connector, the male connector being provided with insulation-displacement contacts, each of which serves to receive a respective conductor wire, wherein the electrical connection between the flexible pins of the female connector and the insulation-displacement contacts is established by a printed circuit provided with conductor tracks, each of which connects a respective insulation-displacement contact to a respective pin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-current outlet comprising: an outlet base (2) provided with contact pins (25) to which a plug can be connected by engaging it along a given plug-in axis; and an organizer cap (1) that can be mounted on the outlet base (2), which cap (1), on being fixed to the base, establishes the electrical contact between the conductor wires (31, 32) of a connection cable (3) and the contact pins (25) of the base (2), the cap (1) being provided with wire guides (11, 12) making it possible to position the wires (31, 32) in three dimensions repetitively and separately so that they are connected electrically to the contact pins (25) on fixing the cap (1) to the base (2); said low-current outlet being characterized in that the cap (1) can be mounted onto the low-current outlet (2) from the rear and along said plug-in axis.

Abstract: A connection system comprising a terminal strip of insulating material and a metal rail connected to ground, said terminal strip having two substantially rectangular and generally planar sides extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the rail, two lateral faces, a front face provided with electrical contacts, and a back face fixed to the rail, each of the sides having an outside surface, wherein the outside surfaces of said sides of the strip are formed with respective electrically conductive layers in electrical contact with the rail.

Abstract: Low-current receptacles for prewiring a building comprise:a fixed base provided with a first intermediate connector connected to a cable of the prewired network; anda removable external adaptor housing provided with a second intermediate connector complementary to said first intermediate connector and connected to user apparatus.

Abstract: In a building subdivided into work stations (A1, A2) each work station is provided with at least one low voltage power supply outlet (12), at least one telephone socket (11), and at least one computer socket (10). The low voltage power supply outlet (12) is connected to a low voltage power supply bus (30). The telephone socket and the computer socket are portions of a precabling element which further includes a cable (1) having at least two pairs of wires for respectively establishing a telephone link and a computer link, and also having a connection module (2) at its other end. The entire precabling element (1, 2, 10, 11) is factory manufactured, thereby enabling any type of building to be cabled in a manner which is systematic, unspecialized, and reconfigurable.

Abstract: Connectors are made by applying flat cable techniques. A sheet of conductors (1a-1d) is covered on both faces by respective strips of insulating material which are made to adhere to each other and to the conductors. Gaps are left in the strips to leave portions of the conductors bare. The resulting sandwich is cut up to form connector blanks, which blanks are then shaped to obtain connectors which may have various shapes depending on the intended application.

Abstract: The system comprises a plurality of modules (1) fitted with wire guides (21, 22) and directly mounted on a free-standing rail (2) which is advantageously in the form of an extruded bar having fixing slots. The bar can be held in place simply by a pair of brackets, one near each of its ends. Conventional frame members can be omitted. The modules can be stacked in any desired configuration at any height up the bar. Naturally a particular installation may make use of a plurality of vertical, module-carrying bars.
