  • Patent number: 9837771
    Abstract: A plug connector includes a first connector half configured as a socket connector and a second connector half configured as a plug connector, each of the connector halves including an insulating body housing at least a respective pair of electric contact elements, respectively female and male, a short-circuit element being provided between the contacts of the socket connector half, adapted to hold such contacts shorted upon unmated connector, wherein the short-circuit element is made from a strip of resilient metallic material, shaped so as to constitute a spring and to offer, at each of its ends, a resilient contact, the first end of the short-circuit element being substantially rigid and stable in contact with a respective female electric contact element, while the second end of the short-circuit element, upon plug connector unmated, goes intimately into contact with the other element of female electrical contact of the socket connector.

  • Patent number: 9553387
    Abstract: An electrical connecting device (10) comprising an electrical insulating body (20) with at least one pair of longitudinal parallel seats (23) and (24) adapted to house, respectively, a connecting element (30) with a spring terminal and an actuator pin (40) having a cam profile oriented towards a spring (32) of the terminal to cause the opening and closure of the terminal by sliding into the corresponding seat, said spring (32) being a ring-shaped spring having a curved lower portion (34), a back ascending portion in form of a leg (35) engageable with a projecting portion (41) of said cam profile of the actuator pin (40) and an upper portion (36) with a slot (37) adapted to receive at least one electric conductor (60), wherein said cam profile of the actuator pin (40) has at least a tapered side (45) and a remaining ribbed portion (46), and that said back ascending portion in form of a leg (35) of the spring (32) has a corresponding groove (39) apt to house said at least one ribbed portion (46) of the actuator

  • Patent number: 9331427
    Abstract: Electrical connecting device including an insulating body with parallel longitudinal seats and, respectively adapted to accommodate a connecting element with spring terminal and an actuator pin with profile cam facing a spring of the terminal to cause the opening and closing of said terminal by means of sliding in the corresponding seat, said spring being a ring-shaped spring with a curved lower portion, a back ascending portion engageable by a protruding portion of said cam profile of the actuator pin and an upper portion with a slot adapted to receive at least one electrical conductor, characterized in that in said actuator pin a hollow seat delimited by two lateral walls is provided adapted to receive the aforementioned ascending leg of the spring-shaped ring in condition of maximum extroversion of the spring, i.e. upon empty closed terminal.
