  • Publication number: 20250167467
    Abstract: Power connection module, with clamping of an electric cable termination by a strip with at least one deformable part, intended to form part of a terminal block of a connection assembly. An electrical connection module (3, 3?, 3?; 3.1, 3.2, 3.3) intended to form part of a terminal block of a connection assembly, of longitudinal axis (X), having a body provided with a cavity in which, after a cable termination contact has been inserted therein, it is clamped there between a fixed part and a part which is transversely deformable on contact with a strip, the clamping being effected from the outside by a tool and via a clamping mechanism with a cam and a force transmission component, or a lever, accommodated in the body of the module. The cam clamping mechanism provides the individual clamping of a termination contact in order to ensure the desired electrical continuity with a considerable force and a reduced space requirement within the module, the body of which has small dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20250070488
    Abstract: Power contact subassembly with effortless coupling, Power connection module integrating such a subassembly for clamping an electric cable termination. The invention consists essentially of a subassembly with a power contact of female type formed by a socket comprising arms which are flexible and also in the form of petals that are at a sufficient spacing from one another to allow insertion, without mechanical effort, of a cylindrical male contact, a collar actuated by a displacement mechanism that deflects the flexible arms, which is to say clamps them on the latter to ensure electrical continuity, an elastic means exerting a force for holding the collar in the deflected position of the flexible arms and for clamping the male contact.

  • Patent number: 8911263
    Abstract: A connection assembly includes a first connector and a second connector, each with a housing extending along an axis and having a connection face, being connected together via their connection faces. Also included is, at least, one coupled-together pair of polarizing keys, each key being of elongate shape along an axis and projecting from one of the housings beyond its connection face. Each key includes at each one of its ends a portion with a peripheral surface that is provided with at least one projecting and/or hollow shape. Each end portion of one of the two keys is adapted to engage via complementary shapes with a single end portion of the other of the two keys along their coinciding axes and in only one relative angular position between them. Each polarizing key is fastened via one of its end portions to the housing of one of the connectors.
