The invention concerns an interconnect device in particular for connection and/or line terminals arranged on-line, comprising first and second interconnect combs facing each other and comprising each a connecting bar, and teeth, extending substantially perpendicularly from the connecting bar, the device comprising elastic teeth and rigid teeth. The teeth of each of the first and second combs are alternately rigid and elastic. The elastic teeth and the rigid teeth of the first comb are located respectively opposite the rigid teeth and the elastic teeth of the second comb.

Double-comb interconnection device

Terminal block with a locking arm for a plug-in connector

Breakable electric contact device of the type comprising two conducting strips ( ) between which an electric contact can be made using a conducting piece ( ) in the form of a moving blade, at least one of the faces of which is intended to come into contact with the conducting strips. Furthermore the device comprises two cleaning strips ( ) which, located in front of the conducting strips ( ) in the direction of travel of the moving blade ( ) toward the contact-closed position, are intended to scrape at least the region of each face of the moving blade ( ) that is intended to press against a conducting strip ( ).

Breakable electric contact device

Piece with a profiled shape having a hollow polygonal section along which an insulation-displacement and retaining slit for at least one wire is made. One face of the polygonal section is extended as a lug and curved toward the connecting piece, leaving a space intended to take a prong of an interconnection comb between the curved lug and the connecting piece. A connecting device comprising the piece, and an insulating casing.

Insulation-displacement connecting piece able to be connected to an adjacent connecting piece

This device includes a fastening catch disposed in an insulating housing ( ), the fastening catch including two relatively sliding pieces ( ) and each piece ( ) exhibiting a hook ( ) intended to allow latching on the support rail ( ). A central hole ( ) substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the sliding pieces ( ) of the fastening catch is made in the housing so as to allow access to the fastening catch from the top of the housing, and in the latched position of the hooks ( ), an edge running transversely with respect to the direction of movement of the hooks of each piece ( ) is located in line with the central hole ( ).

Electrical connection device comprising a catch for fastening to a support rail

This slit-type insulation-displacement connector for electrical wire comprises a conducting connection piece ( ) with a straight stripping and retaining slit ( ) for the core of a wire. The slit is made longitudinally along a profiled part of the conducting piece. This connector furthermore comprises a metal reinforcement ( ) made in a resilient material, which follows the shape of conducting piece ( ) by surrounding it.

Insulation-displacement connector

This fastening catch comprises two relatively sliding pieces (,), each piece exhibiting a hook (,) intended to allow latching to the support rail. A first sliding piece (,) exhibits snap-engagement mechanism (,) and the second sliding piece (,) comprises complementary snap-engagement mechanisms (,) so that these snap-engagement mechanisms cooperate when the sliding pieces (,) are in the unlatched position and possibly also in the latched position.

Catch for fastening to a support rail

This device is made from a flat resilient material, which has a first branch intended to bear against a fixed conducting part of a connection terminal, a moving sharply-angled second branch having, on the side of its free end, an approximately planar part provided with an opening intended for passage of the end of a cable to be connected and a part facing the first branch, as well as a linking region which joins the two branches, thus forming a loop. Each branch has a part which is concave toward the outside of the loop and the two concave parts are approximately facing each other and form a narrows inside the loop.

Resilient device allowing an electrical connection to be made in a connection terminal

A connector comprises a casing (2) inside which is mounted a conducting piece (9) having a slit (10) for retaining an electrical wire (16). Mounted so as to pivot inside this casing is a cage (8) having a cavity (13) for the engagement of a maneuvering rod and a cavity (15) for the engagement of the conducting wire (16). During the pivoting movement of the cage (8), the wire (16) is stripped locally and introduced into the slit (10), and the cage sits over that end of the conducting piece (9) which has the slit.

Connector with a stripping slit for electrical wire

A connection module, in particular a junction block, having connection terminals that are interconnectable by means of moving conductive pieces that can be driven from outside the module. A box of insulating material contains the connection terminals and respective electric link strips for each module, which strips are fixed and terminate in individual extensions serving as contact elements, said extensions extending parallel to a common plane inside the box, with elements on any one level being in alignment. A conductive piece includes at least one comb of parallel spring-blade contact clips enabling it to come into contact with the extensions on a given level by the clips coming astride them when a drive member carrying the clips is moved inside the box from outside the box where said drive member has a handle-forming head.

Connection module having connection terminals that are interconnectable

An arrangement including a connection part provided with a slot and a part having one end provided with at least one guide eye for guiding at least one electrical wire, which end can be displaced along a wire-holding slot, the eye being situated beyond an inlet of the slot in an insertion position, in which it is possible to place a wire passing through the eye in front of the inlet of the slot, the eye otherwise being placed at a zone determined by the edges of the slot in another position. The arrangement includes a guide part having a loop spring resiliently returning the end that carries the eye to the wire-holding position by displacing it along the slot. The arrangement is designed to equip electrical equipment modules to which electrical wires are connected in permanent manner.
