A magazine-type wiring accessory crimping tool comprises two handles articulated to each other which are squeezed together to form at least one crimping deformation in a wiring accessory disposed between them. One of the handles forms a magazine receiving a plurality of parallel wiring accessories to be dispensed and crimped. A dispenser is removably received in this handle and accommodates the plurality of wiring accessories. The other handle incorporates a crimping plate and the first mentioned handle includes a crosspiece aligned with this crimping plate adapted to withstand the crimping force applied by the crimping plate to a wiring accessory.

Magazine-type wiring accessory crimping tool

A dispenser for wiring accessories has an elongate plate-like configuration and comprises a baseplate from which projects a bar extending transversely across the baseplate to a width less than the width of the baseplate. A longitudinal groove in the bar parallel to the baseplate runs the full length of the bar. A lip faces the longitudinal edge of the bar into which the groove opens. The lip is parallel to and spaced from this longitudinal edge. The baseplate is extended at one end of the bar. A transverse cradle on this extension receives a wiring accessory and a longitudinal finger projects cantilever-fashion from the bar over the cradle and is spaced from the cradle to retain a wiring accessory in the cradle.

A side connection terminal block of the kind comprises a generally tubular stirrup member fixed relative to an insulating material body common to two connecting terminals and laterally accessible at each end from the outside of the body through a lateral opening therein, for insertion of an electrical conductor. A clamping screw is immobilized axially relative to the stirrup member but relatively rotatable. A cable clamp presses the electrical conductor against a connecting link common to the two connecting terminals. The cable clamp which is disposed inside the stirrup member is prevented from rotating relative thereto and is interlocked with said clamping screw. The clamping screw is entirely disposed within the stirrup member common thereto.

Side connecting terminal block

A self-clamping electrical connector or terminal block is disclosed having one or more entrance passages for inserting a corresponding number of conductive cores of leads. A U-shaped metal guide member is mounted in the housing and a leaf spring part with a corresponding number of leaf springs each having an angled portion extending between the legs of the guide member. The angled portion is adapted to clamp the conductive core against one of the legs upon insertion of the lead. Each leaf spring comprises clipping means including a bowed portion connected to the angled portion and a flat portion. The bowed portion bears on the inner surface of the other leg of the guide member and the flat portion bears against the outer surface of said other leg. A lug may be provided on the leg to prevent the leaf spring part from slipping off the guide member.
