Abstract: A bus bar connector of fewer parts to be easily assembled where plural grooves are formed in the outer periphery of a guide plate so as to position and to prevent plural contact plates from inclining, and a supporting arm is provided at a part of the outer periphery of the guide plate whereby the shield is securely supported by fitting the supporting arm into an annular groove or an engaging hole formed in the inner wall of the shield, also a half of the shield is integrally formed with the guide plate and coupled with the remaining half of the shield whereby the shield is fixedly supported as the guide plate is fixed to the conductive unit.

Abstract: A motor control unit for use in an electrical enclosure is provided, the motor control unit includes a connector stab assembly of a molded plastic housing having a base portion, at least one jaw connector cover extending from one side of the base portion and a corresponding bar cover extending from the other side of the base portion opposite the jaw connector. The jaw connector cover includes a pair of opposing u-shaped sidewall members. A metal bar is provided having a first end extending through the base into the jaw connector cover and a second end extending through the bar cover. The second end of the metal bar is adapted for connection to a wire conductor. A pair of jaw fingers extend from the first end of the metal bar and are partially enclosed in the jaw connector cover and are adapted to secure to a vertical bus bar. A pair of spring members are secured to the first end of the metal bar and engage each one of the jaw fingers for biasing the jaw fingers toward each other.

Abstract: An electrical contact assembly has a contact carrier formed with symmetrically opposed rows of comb-like guides, opposed rows of double-ended contact fingers mounted in the guides, a first contact piece supported by the contact carrier between the contact fingers at one end of the fingers and a second contact piece for insertion between the contact fingers at the opposite end of the fingers. For resiliently urging the fingers to contact the respective contact pieces, a pair of spring elements are attached to the contact carrier. Each spring element has a central web mounted on the carrier and opposite rows of arms extending from the web to engage opposite portions of the respective fingers.

Abstract: A bus bar assembly (110) includes a pair of source and return bus bars (118,116) mounted on at least one of the side edges (108,112) of a daughter card (102) and electrically connected by arrays of terminals (172) to power circuits of the card, for use in a system for distributing electrical power to the daughter card module (100) upon insertion into a card cage (10). The pair of bus bars (118,116) is insulated by a cover (120) having a rail (126) for following the guide channels (18,20) of the card cage at each card location. Rearward ends of the bus bars have blades (122,124) which are received into receptacle contacts (46,44) mounted in the card cage above and below the backplane (14), which are mounted at each card location and electrically connected to source and return busses (68,58) of the card cage, with the receptacle contacts (46,44) preferably being float mounted to be easily incrementally moved upon blade receipt during card module (100) insertion.

Abstract: A structure of connection between a bus bar and a press-connecting branch terminal in an electric connnection box is disclosed wherein a plurality of bus bars constituting a circuit are accommodated within a casing composed of an upper case and a lower case; a housing having tab insertion holes at its bottom is formed on at least one of the upper and lower cases; a branch tab formed on one side portion of a press-connecting branch terminal is extended through the tab insertion hole into the housing to thereby constitute a connector insertion portion; and a desired one of the bus bars is press-fitted in and connected to a U-shaped slot formed in a press-connecting portion formed on the other side portion of the press-connecting terminal.

Abstract: An electrical connector (12) for mating two blade-shaped members (130, 150) includes a dielectric spacer member (14), first and second terminal elements (30, 60) secured to each of opposing major surfaces (16, 18) of spacer member (14), the first terminal element (30) being adjacent the spacer member (14) and the second terminal element (60) disposed outwardly of the first terminal element (30); and means (56) insulating associated first and second terminal elements (30, 60) from each other. Each first terminal element (30) includes a body section (32) having first and second arrays (44, 50) of cantilevered spring contact arms extending outwardly therefrom, defining first and second blade-receiving receptacles (48, 54) respectively therebetween. Each second terminal element (60) includes a body section (62) having third and fourth arrays (74, 80) of cantilevered spring contact arms extending outwardly therefrom.

Abstract: A tool changer for welding robot comprising: detachable male portions of connectors provided at a substrate fixed to a robot arm side for supplying electricity, gas, air, water to the tool side from the robot arm side; and detachable female portions of connectors to be connected to the male portions of the connectors and provided at a substrate fixed to a tool side for receiving electricity, gas, air, water from the male portions of connectors, each female portion composed of the connector, a protective tube provided at the substrate fixed to the welding gun side, a coupler inserted inside thereof, and an O-ring provided between the protective tube and the coupler, wherein the connector and the coupler are integrally formed and are radially slidable within the protective tube around the O-ring. A transformer is provided centrally of the connectors on the robot arm side substrate.

Abstract: To minimize the number of vertically extending tab-shaped male terminals in busbar connection structure, that is, to maximize the busbar material yield or busbar arrangement density on an insulating plate, two busbars stacked with at least one insulating plate intervening between the two busbars are connected to each other by an elastic U-shaped connecting clip at end surfaces of the busbars or the insulating plate.

Abstract: A bus bar assembly comprises a frame in which circuit modules are slidable on rails towards and away from a power bus bar. Each module has a receptacle for receiving the bus bar when the module has been slid to a home position in the frame. Each receptacle is secured to a guide fork for guiding the receptacle into mating relationship with the bus bar, the guide fork being fixed to a slide block mounted on the module for sliding movement transversely of the rails to take up play between the module and the rails.
