The assembly includes an upper conductive member having an upper tap conductor arm configured to engage the tap conductor and an upper main conductor arm configured to engage the main conductor. Each of the upper tap conductor arm and the upper main conductor arm includes a deflectable spring. The electrical connector also includes a lower conductive member separately fabricated from the upper conductive member. The lower conductive member includes a lower tap conductor arm configured to engage the tap conductor and a lower main conductor arm configured to engage the main conductor. Each of the lower tap conductor arm and the lower main conductor arm includes a deflectable spring. The upper and lower tap conductor arms oppose each other and are configured to clamp the tap conductor therebetween. The upper and lower main conductor arms oppose each other and are configured to clamp the main conductor therebetween. | 01-26-2012 |
20130029541 | ELECTRIC CONNECTOR WITH A CABLE CLAMPING PORTION - An electric connector comprises a connector body and a plurality of contact elements mounted within the connector body and adapted to be coupled with mating contact elements at the front end of the connector body. The contact elements are connected to respective wires of an electric cable provided with a sheath. The electric cable is clamped within the connector body by means of a cable clamping tubular portion, having clamping longitudinal tabs. A wedge-like locking bush having a conical inner surface is mounted above the longitudinal tabs of the clamping tubular portion. A locking ring-nut is tightened on a threaded portion of the rear end of the connector body so as to clamp the cable. | 01-31-2013 |
20140242853 | Single Fastener Electrical Connector - A one-piece metallic connector is configured to receive a fastener and has features that grip and electrically bond two conductors as they are clamped together when the fastener is tightened. The connector's generally U-shaped body has first and second legs, a bight portion joining the legs and an opening in each leg through which a single mounting fastener can extend. When installed with the outside of one leg abutting one conductor, another conductor is clamped between the legs. At least one outer projection (tooth) on the outer face of one leg engages the conductor to which the connector is mounted. At least one inner projection (tooth) on the same leg engages the conductor clamped between the legs. A recess on the inner face of the distal portion of the other leg is configured to cradle the clamped conductor. | 08-28-2014 |
20140335743 | ROUND TERMINAL FIXATION STRUCTURE - A round terminal fixation structure is a structure for fixing a round terminal connected to an end of an electric wire to a bus bar in an overlapping manner with a bolt. The round terminal includes: a bolt insertion portion with a first through-hole into which the bolt is inserted; a core wire crimp portion for crimping a core wire of the electric wire; and an insulating cover crimp portion. The bus bar includes: a flat plate portion with a second through-hole; a pair of standing pieces vertically extended from the flat plate portion for positioning the core wire crimp portion in between the pair of standing pieces while the first and second through-holes are overlapped with each other; and connection portions electrically connected to the relay or the fuse. A gap between the pair of standing pieces is formed smaller than a width of the bolt insertion portion. | 11-13-2014 |
20150064989 | CONNECTION STRUCTURE FOR SCREW CLAMP TERMINAL - An engagement projection having a convex conical surface is provided in an outer peripheral region of a bolt insertion hole in an electrical contact part of a terminal, while an engagement depression having a concave conical surface corresponding to the convex conical surface and capable of engaging with the engagement projection through the concave conical surface is provided on an inner surface of a head of a bolt disposed opposed to the engagement projection. The engagement projection and the engagement depression are engaged with each other during the fastening of the bolt. | 03-05-2015 |
439782000 | With means to maintain assembly of clamp part and bolt or screw | 3 |
20130316599 | CONNECTOR FOR TERMINATING TO A TERMINAL POST - A connector for terminating to a terminal post. The connector has a connector body and a lever. The connector body has clamping arms, with the clamping arms having outwardly directed cam surfaces. The lever is connected to the connector body for pivotal movement thereabout between an unclamped position and a clamped position. The lever has activation members with inwardly directed cam surfaces. The rotation of the lever from the unclamped position to the clamped position causes the inwardly directed cam surface to progressively engage the outwardly directed cam surfaces, causing the clamping arms to be moved toward each other thereby clamping the connector to the terminal post without the need for tools. | 11-28-2013 |
20140134897 | TERMINAL BLOCk - A terminal block ( | 05-15-2014 |
20150087191 | RECEPTACLE WITH TERMINAL HOLD-OPEN DETENT - An electrical receptacle includes a detent for holding a terminal clamp in an open position. A terminal assembly having a terminal clamp, a terminal plate, and a terminal fastener. The terminal fastener can move the terminal clamp toward the terminal plate. The terminal clamp includes a tab that fits in a tab pocket formed in a middle housing of the receptacle. The tab pocket includes a detent for retaining the tab adjacent to a first end of the tab pocket. With the tab in this position, the terminal assembly is in the open configuration so that a space is formed between the terminal clamp and the terminal plate. In the open configuration an electrical wire can be disposed between the clamp and plate. To clamp the wire, the fastener is rotated to move the clamp toward the plate, and the detent releases the tab under application of force. | 03-26-2015 |
