Abstract: A plug-in terminal for the connection of one or more conductor ends has a housing made of an electrically non-conductive material. The housing includes at least one insertion opening for a respective conductor end. Each insertion opening extends to a respective housing chamber containing a connection device to which an actuation device is assigned. Each actuation device actuates a contact limb of a contact spring of the connection device. The actuation device includes a pivoted lever configured to act on a sliding element with which the contact limb of the contact spring can be moved directly or indirectly. The pivoted lever and the contact limb rotate about the same or substantially the same axis of rotation.

Abstract: A connection assembly for a photovoltaic module includes at least one cell assembly which is externally contactable to at least two contacts. The connection assembly includes at least one bypass diode, which is arranged externally of the at least one cell assembly and connected in parallel to the at least one cell assembly. The connection assembly is characterized in that the connection assembly has at least one plug receptacle into which the bypass diode can be plugged in with plug contacts. A photovoltaic module with such a connection assembly is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector (300), having: a receiving element (10) for receiving a plug-in element of the first type (100) or a plug-in element of the second type (200) at least in certain areas; and - a push-pull locking system (20) for producing a push-pull locking between the connector (300) and the plug-in element of the first type (100); wherein the push-pull locking system (20) has at least one locking element (13) which is arranged at least regionally in a recess (14) of the receiving element (10) provided for the at least one locking element (13), and wherein the receiving element (10) has at least one latching means (12) which is provided and designed to with at least one complementary latching means (230) of the plug element, of the second type (200) to be brought into engagement.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module includes at least two cell assemblies externally contactable at connecting contacts, which are arranged linearly at the rear side of the photovoltaic module in groups of two connecting contacts which are allocated to the cell assemblies. One connection socket is arranged on a rear side of the photovoltaic module, this connection socket having a housing which has at least one rear opening for passing the connecting contact through, wherein the housing covers all connecting contacts of the photovoltaic module. In a connection socket for such a photovoltaic module, the housing has an elongated shape, wherein all connecting contacts are arranged in a line along a longitudinal direction of the housing.

Abstract: An adaptor is provided for connecting an electrical cable with an electrical connector. The adaptor includes a housing and an insert which are coaxially arranged and connected for free rotation relative to each other. The outer surface of the insert contains an annular recess and at least one pin is arranged on an inner surface of the housing. When a portion of the insert including the recess is arranged within a portion of the housing, the pin is inserted into the recess to connect the insert with the housing while permitting rotation therebetween. The free rotation prevent torque from being transmitted to an electrical cable connected with the insert.

Abstract: A push-pull connector for a panel containing at least one opening corresponding with at least one circuit board includes a housing with a spring hook and a shell connected therewith. The housing has an outer surface, at least one circuit board connector arranged at a first open end thereof, and a second end configured to receive an electrical cable for connection with at least one circuit board connector. The spring hook is connected with the housing outer surface and is operable between a hold position where the housing is connected with the panel at the at least one panel opening and a release position wherein the housing is disconnected from the panel. The shell is slidably connected with the housing outer surface for displacement between a release position and a hold position, wherein the shell or housing are moved toward and away from each other to operate the spring hook toward the release and hold position, respectively.

Abstract: A connection apparatus for connecting electrical devices, in particular electric motors to an AC system, has a housing which has at least one housing portion. A plurality of first and second conductor terminals are arranged in the at least one housing portion. Each conductor terminal has at least one or two or more individual terminals and a configuration plug. The configuration plug electrically connects individual or a plurality of the first and/or second conductor terminals in at least two different positions in order to obtain at least two different circuit types. The configuration plug is rotatably or slidably guided in or on the housing or at least on the at least one housing portion. Due to this relative movement, plug can be rotated and/or displaced into at least two different positions, in order to provide the at least two different circuit types.

Abstract: A connection device for charging an electric vehicle includes a main unit on which a charging socket is arranged for plugging in a charging cable for connecting to the electric vehicle or to which the charging cable is connected directly. The connection device includes an additional connection with a separate additional housing on which an additional charging socket for a further charging cable is arranged or to which the further charging cable is connected directly.
