A connection arrangement includes a housing body having a connection portion, at which in each case at least one housing bearing wedge having a bearing face which is oriented at a wedge angle to an assembly direction is formed on two opposing sides; a bearing portion; and a clamping face which is formed on the bearing portion being provided at a distance from the bearing face of the at least one housing bearing wedge. The connection arrangement further includes a connection body which can be positioned on the housing body in the region of the connection portion, on which connection body at least one connection bearing wedge is provided, which has a bearing face which is oriented at the same wedge angle to the assembly direction, the bearing faces of the housing bearing wedge and of the connection bearing wedge being in contact with one another when assembled.

Connection arrangement

A connection terminal for the electrically contacting connection of a conductor to a current bar which is accommodated on a holder includes a clamping spring having a first limb and a second limb, said clamping spring being provided for applying a clamping force for damping the conductor. An actuation device which comprises the clamping spring is provided. Between the first limb and the second limb of the clamping spring, which is in the form of a tension spring, is arranged an insert device which provides a counter-bearing for a tool when the actuation device is actuated.

Electrical connection terminal having an insert device for providing a counter-bearing for a tool

A lead-through terminal includes a terminal housing to be held on a wall of an electrical installation, and a wall feedthrough and a pivotable actuation device being provided on the terminal housing. The actuation device is pivotable at least between a contact position and an open position to clamp a conductor at a conductor receptacle in the contact position and to release or hold the conductor at the conductor receptacle in the open position. A gap that exists between the actuation device and the wall feedthrough when the actuation device pivots between the open position and the contact position is closed at least in the contact position.

Lead-through terminal

A housing device for an electrical connection terminal has a terminal housing and latching systems with two latching units interacting with one another, wherein one latching unit is a latching arm connected to the terminal housing and extending out away from the terminal housing, and the second latching unit is a latching connector for interacting with the latching arm for latching. The latching connector has a latching body with a wedge-like shape in a latching direction, along a movement of the two latching units during latching. A latching toothed portion is provided on at least one transverse surface of a first of the two latching units and a meshing unit is provided on transverse surfaces of a second of the two latching units. The latching toothed portion and the meshing unit mesh with one another so as to latch in order to latch the latching units interacting with one another.

Housing device for an electrical connection terminal and electrical connection terminal

A lead-through terminal for connecting a conductor so as to conduct electricity includes: a terminal housing having a bearing portion that abuts a wall of an electrical installation when in an installed state, the bearing portion defining on the terminal housing a first housing portion on a first side and a second housing portion on a second side of the bearing portion, a wall feedthrough being provided on the bearing portion; and a pivotable actuation device being provided on the terminal housing to clamp the conductor in a contact position on a current bar and to release the conductor when in an open position. The actuation device is located on the first side to a greater extent when in the contact position than when in the open position, in which the actuation device extends through the wall feedthrough onto the second side at least in part.

Lead-through terminal and electrical component

The invention relates to physical connections of a plurality of mutually insulated connecting elements, especially configured for printed circuit boards, the physical connection being a component of an electric connection between two or more conducting elements with direct contact using a spring. The electric terminal represents such a connection, and allows rapid and simple detachment of the conductor, similar to the plug'n'play technology used for plugging in the conductors. A clamping system is provided which allows to simply and rapidly detach the conductor and which is accessible from several sides of the terminal. The advantageous accessibility of the clamping system makes it possible to always use the tools for operating the clamping system in a manner perpendicular to the surface of the printed circuit board.

Electric terminal for printed circuit boards

The device is used for electrically connecting at least one contact point on a first circuit board to at least one contact point on a second circuit board positioned neighboring the first circuit board using at least one conductor provided with an insulating sheath. In order to be able to construct and handle such a device simply, cutting contacts are positioned fixed on a relevant circuit board at contact points and have cutters implemented at contact points for contacting the conductor without stripping. A housing receives the conductor and tightly encloses it and has a conductor insertion opening on a long side thereof which extends over a respective conductor length. Guide contours on both sides on inner sides adjoining the conductor insertion opening run transversely to a housing lengthwise direction and are recessed relative to lateral conductor bearing surfaces on the inner sides and are tailored to a recess of the contact legs which are provided with the cutters of the cutting contacts.
