  • Publication number: 20220311193
    Abstract: A plug connector device, in particular an RJ plug connector device, has a plug connector unit which is configured to create a plug connection extending along a plugging direction and which comprises a contact unit with at least two electric plug contacts, wherein the plug connector device includes a cable receiving unit comprising a wiring block for an accommodation of conductor cores of an electric cable and comprising a connection unit for creating a connection to at least one further element of the cable that is different from a conductor core, and that the plug connector device includes a wiring assistance unit, which is configured for a tool-less establishing of a connection between the wiring block and the contact unit.

  • Patent number: 4536054
    Abstract: The fuse holder contains a socket and a head member loosely seated in the socket by a quick release closure, and can be removed along the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder. Seated in the socket at its closed end is a base contact containing a connection tab and a lateral contact having a connection tab. At the head member, the closed end of which is located at the open end of the socket, there is provided a substantially U-shaped, asymmetric connection conductor fixedly clawing into the head member by retaining flaps provided at a web portion of the connection conductor. The unequal legs of the connection conductor extend from the web portion at an inclination inwardly at a predetermined location towards the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder to an internal contact location for a first cap member of the fuse insert. A second cap member thereof is pressed by an axial compression spring against the base contact.

  • Patent number: 4489300
    Abstract: The head member of the fuse holder can be removed from a socket member along an insertion axis when pressure is brought to act on spring detents or latches. The non-similarity of the spring detents ensures that the head member only can be inserted into the socket member in one predetermined orientation or position. The fuse holder which, for instance, is a two-pole fuse holder, in addition to an entirely conventional fuse and the associated holder including connection tabs in the socket member, comprises a further fuse which is associated with a line voltage preselector. For this purpose a selector insert is removably seated and locked into position in the head member along the insertion axis. A connecting conductor finger of the selector insert, depending on its rotary position within the head member, contacts a preselectable one of four lateral or side connection tabs. Therefore, the voltage cannot be unintentionally misadjusted when a fuse is exchanged.

  • Patent number: 4453794
    Abstract: The fuse holder contains a socket and a head member which is loosely seated in the socket by means of a quick release closure, such as a bayonet connection and can be removed along the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder. Seated in the socket at its closed end is a base contact containing a connection tab or flag and a lateral or side contact having a connection tab or flag. At the head member, the closed end of which is located at the open end of the socket, there is provided a substantially U-shaped connection conductor which fixedly claws into the head member by means of retaining or holding flaps provided at a web portion of the U-shaped connection conductor. The legs of the U-shaped connection conductor extend from the web portion of the U-shaped connection conductor at an inclination inwardly at a predetermined location towards the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder to an internal contact location for a first cap member of the fuse insert or fuse.
