20090170363 | Terminal module for electrical connector - A terminal module includes at least two terminals ( | 07-02-2009 |
20100178792 | CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING CABLES TO A BATTERY - A connector system that connects cables to terminals of an electrical device. The connector system includes a first cable connector for terminating a first cable, a first terminal connector mateable with the first cable connector, a second cable connector for terminating a second cable, and a second terminal connector mateable with the second cable connector. The first terminal connector is configured to connect to a first terminal of the electrical device, and the second terminal connector is configured to connect to a second terminal of the electrical device. The first cable connector and the second cable connector are different so that the first cable connector is not mateable with the second terminal connector and the second cable connector is not mateable with the first terminal connector. | 07-15-2010 |
20120149231 | Terminal Structures for Wiring Devices - Terminal structures for wiring devices, such as receptacle assemblies, are disclosed having first and second spring assemblies constructed of a first metal and each having at least one spring finger with the first and second spring assemblies being connected to respective first and second conductive contacts that are constructed of a second metal, wherein the terminal structures are configured for push-in termination of conductive stripped ends of respective first and second wires between the at least one spring finger of the respective first and second spring assemblies and the respective first and second conductive contacts, and wherein the first and second conductive contacts are configured to be connected to respective first and second separate conductive elements. Such a terminal structure is shown for example within a receptacle assembly in the form of a grounding duplex plug outlet. | 06-14-2012 |
20130130537 | TERMINAL STRUCTURES FOR WIRING DEVICES - Terminal structures for wiring devices, such as receptacle assemblies, are disclosed having first and second spring assemblies constructed of a first metal and each having at least one spring finger with the first and second spring assemblies being connected to respective first and second conductive contacts that are constructed of a second metal, wherein the terminal structures are configured for push-in termination of conductive stripped ends of respective first and second wires between the at least one spring finger of the respective first and second spring assemblies and the respective first and second conductive contacts, and wherein the first and second conductive contacts are configured to be connected to respective first and second separate conductive elements. Such a terminal structure is shown for example within a receptacle assembly in the form of a grounding duplex plug outlet or switch. | 05-23-2013 |
20140170892 | WEDGE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS USING SAME - A wedge connector assembly for forming an electrical connection with first and second electrical conductors includes a coupling portion, first and second resilient spring sleeve portions located on the coupling portion, a first wedge member and a second wedge member. The first spring sleeve portion defines a first sleeve cavity tapering in a first direction away from the second spring sleeve portion and the second spring sleeve portion defines the second sleeve cavity tapering in a second direction away from the first spring sleeve portion. The first wedge member is configured to be forcibly driven into the first sleeve cavity in the first direction to capture the first conductor and the second wedge member is configured to be forcibly driven into the second sleeve cavity in the second direction to thereby capture the second conductor. | 06-19-2014 |
20150024622 | Dimm Connector - A Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) connector includes an electrical receptacle, a first fastening member and a second fastening member. A mating end of the electrical receptacle has a first slot and a second slot for receiving a first and a second DIMM modules to be inserted therein, respectively. The first fastening member has a first pressing portion for pressing the first DIMM module, a first clasping portion for clasping a positioning hole at a side edge of the first DIMM module, and a second clasping portion clasped at a rear edge of the second DIMM module. The second fastening member has a second pressing portion for pressing the second DIMM module. When the first DIMM module is mounting in the first slot, the second clasping portion does not hinder the first DIMM module. | 01-22-2015 |
20150093929 | Connecting Terminal - A connecting terminal is disclosed having a wire connection portion with at least one pair of side arms, and an abutting portion attached at a second end to the wire connection portion. The Abutting portion includes at least one mating terminal receiving chamber and a locking structure. The locking structure includes a locking surface facing the wire connection portion and extending perpendicularly to an insertion direction of the connecting terminal, a first locking surface formed on an upper side of the abutting portion and a second locking surface formed on a lower side of the second end of the abutting portion. | 04-02-2015 |
20160079692 | Low Profile Circuit Connector - An electrical connector includes a housing, contact elements and locking members attached to the housing. The housing has a front end, a back end, a top side, a bottom side and a cavity between the top side and the bottom side. The cavity is to partially receive a circuit board therein. Each contact element is insertable into the housing along a direction from the bottom side towards the top side. Each locking member is insertable into the housing along a direction from the bottom side towards the top side. The upper and lower contact arms and the lock arm are resiliently deflectable away from the cavity to allow insertion of the circuit board into the cavity, and spring back when the circuit board is inserted into the cavity to make electrical connection to the circuit board and to lock the circuit board in the housing. | 03-17-2016 |
