Abstract: A connector arrangement for connecting the bare ends of a plurality of insulated conductors to a horizontal row of first contacts arranged on an electrical device, respectively, including a main housing having a side portion containing a chamber in which the electrical device is mounted, a connector housing pivotally connected with the main housing for pivotal movement about a vertical pivot axis between engaged and disengaged positions, the connector housing supporting a horizontal row of conductor contacts arranged to engage the first contacts when the contact housing is in the engaged position, and a manually-operable locking arrangement for locking the connector housing in the engaged position. The locking arrangement includes a locking projection fixed to the main housing, a catch member movably connected with the connector housing, and an actuating member for displacing the catch member between locked and unlocked positions relative to the locking projection.

Abstract: Conductor connecting apparatus for connecting with a housing an insulated conductor having a bare end portion from which the insulation layer has been removed, comprising a housing containing an access opening communicating with a chamber contained within the housing, an annular mounting ring adapted for mounting concentrically about the insulated layer of the conductor, a fastening device for fastening the mounting ring to the insulated layer of the conductor, and a connecting arrangement for connecting the mounting ring with the access opening such that the conductor bare end portion extends into said housing chamber.

Abstract: Fixing device for cables which have at least one conductor (2) which is provided with at least one insulation (3), on a housing feed-through (4) of a housing (5), where the fixing device (1) has a locking ring (13) with a cable feed-through channel, which locking ring can be axially fixed on the external circumference of the cable, where the locking ring (13) is fixed on the housing (5) in a locking manner.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting a hollow bus bar member with an insulated multi-wire or braided conductor inserted axially therein, including a conductive contact screw that is threadably connected within a first opening contained in the bus bar member wall for axial displacement from a retracted position toward a fully penetrating position, thereby to cause a pointed end of the contact screw to successively pierce the adjacent insulation layer, extend diametrically through the multi-wire conductor, pierce the adjacent layer of insulation, and extend into a second opening contained in the adjacent bus bar member wall. The bus bar member may be soldered to a printed circuit board, thereby to connect the multi-wire conductor with conductors on the printed circuit board. Alternatively, plurality of bus bar members may be formed by stamping and bending from a common conductive metal sheet, with the bus bar members being interconnected by integral straps.
