A snap-in terminal connector for a conductor includes a housing having a first opening for receiving the conductor and a second opening arranged at an angle, and preferably perpendicular, relative to the first opening for an actuator for the connector. The connector includes a bus bar, a clamping spring, and a rotatable lever operable by the actuator. The clamping spring is mounted on the housing and includes integral clamping and support legs. The clamping leg is operable between latching and clamping conditions. The actuator is operable to rotate the lever which tensions the clamping spring by pressing the clamping leg toward the support leg. A retaining assembly on the support leg retains the clamping leg in the latching position. When a conductor is inserted into the housing first opening, the leading end of the conductor presses against the clamping spring support leg to release the clamping leg which presses the conductor against the bus bar and retains the conductor within the housing.

A rotary plug electrical connector includes a plug and a socket, both of which include power contacts and signal contacts. The plug is rotatable within the socket between operable and inoperable positions. The power contacts of the socket include opposed surfaces which are engaged by resilient blade power contacts of the plug. The signal contact of the socket preferably includes a pair of contacts, and the signal contact of the plug preferably is a bridge contact that engages the socket signal contacts in the operable position and disengages the socket signal contacts in the inoperable position. When the signal contacts are disengaged, no power is transferred by the connector.

An elevator belt monitoring apparatus includes a housing for receiving an elevator belt and a plurality of screws or pins which are operable to pierce the belt and the spaced parallel cords arranged within the belt. One screw or pin engages each cord. A plurality of bridge contacts are connected with adjacent pairs of screws or pins and signal contacts are connected with the screws or pins adjacent to the outer edges of the belts. The signal contacts are connected with a monitoring device which sends and receives signals to the contacts to provide an indication of the condition or deterioration of the belt.

A modular power distribution terminal includes an outer housing containing a chamber and a bottom opening. The outer housing includes a top wall, a pair of spaced end walls and a pair of spaced parallel side walls having first fasteners. At least one module slice is arranged in the outer housing chamber and includes a slice housing including a pair of spaced parallel side walls having first fasteners configured for fastening with the first fasteners of one of the outer housing side walls and a current bar connected with and extending along a length of the slice housing. An input screw connection terminal and at least two output push-in connection terminals are connected with the current bar.

Power distribution terminal

An adaptor is provided for connecting an electrical cable with an electrical connector. The adaptor includes a housing and an insert which are coaxially arranged and connected for free rotation relative to each other. The outer surface of the insert contains an annular recess and at least one pin is arranged on an inner surface of the housing. When a portion of the insert including the recess is arranged within a portion of the housing, the pin is inserted into the recess to connect the insert with the housing while permitting rotation therebetween. The free rotation prevent torque from being transmitted to an electrical cable connected with the insert.
