Definitions
- connection terminals relate generally to the connection terminals, and more particularly relates to those of these connection terminals which comprise a support body made of insulating material, an active part made of metal suitable for being attached to such a support body, side insulating cheeks suitable for separating said support body from that of a neighboring connection terminal, and a cover suitable for being attached to the support body to confine the volume in which said active metal part is implanted.
- connection terminals are not, for example, implemented for the equipment of transformers, and in particular of bare transformers intended to be fixed by a soleplate in any cabinet for electrical equipment.
- transformers usually have, on each of two opposite faces, on the side opposite to their sole, a strip on which is adapted to be attached by engagement the support body of their connection terminals, such a support body having this effect a base forming an ear suitable for such engagement.
- connection terminals of the type concerned known to date have various drawbacks.
- the lateral insulation cheeks which are necessary to have, from a connection terminal to an adjacent connection terminal, a creepage distance of sufficient length to meet the standards in the matter, usually belong to it. support body.
- the lateral insulation cheeks thus present on the support body inevitably form a discomfort when it comes to soldering a connection wire to the active metal part, since they extend on either side of the tab that this active part has for such a weld and that they therefore limit access to this tab.
- the tongue in question of the active metal part which is not involved in the estimation of the line of flight, usually extends directly obliquely from the sole of this active part in contact with which can be tightened by a screw a conductor, so that the side insulation cheeks framing this tab, and therefore the whole of the connection terminal, largely protrude laterally on the transformer thus equipped.
- connection terminals of the type concerned known to date usually project more widely laterally than at height on such transformers.
- connection terminals If such a lateral projection of these connection terminals is relatively inconvenient when the fixing plate of the transformers concerned is itself relatively large, it is not the same when, for reasons of space, and in particular to reduce the influence of such transformers, their fixing base has only a reduced extent.
- connection terminals fitted to these transformers can then protrude out of the overall volume thereof, and. thus, be particularly sensitive to shocks and increase the overall size of the assembly.
- connection terminals of the type concerned known to date and taking into account the lateral projecting configuration of these with respect to the transformers which they equip, provision is not made, for connection of a conductor, an inlet passage, the latter being usually established on the front wall of the cover of such connection terminals.
- the present invention generally relates to a connection terminal, in particular for a transformer, which does not have the disadvantages succinctly set out above.
- connection terminal in particular for a transformer, of the kind comprising a support body made of insulating material, an active part made of metal suitable for being attached to such a support body and having a tab for welding of a connection wire, side insulating cheeks suitable for separating said support body from that of a neighboring connection terminal, and a clean cover to be attached to the support body to confine the volume in which is implanted the active part in metal, and which is characterized in that the support body is reduced to a base, forming an ear, for its engagement on a strip, and to a plate, for support of the active part in metal, the cheeks side insulation fully belonging to the single cover.
- the active metal part comprises, between the support sole and the welding tongue, an intermediate section, and this extends substantially perpendicular to said support sole.
- the intermediate section of the active part passes through a passage formed for this purpose in the support body, so that, the welding tab being thus separated from this support sole by a part of this support body, the welding of which it must be the object can be practiced without risk of any incidence on this support sole.
- the part in question of the support body which forms a plate, and which extends in overhang from a base forming a proper ear for the engagement of said support body on the strip of the transformer concerned, is, the conditions being equal, offset upwards relative to its position in the embodiments of this type known to date, this plate s extending substantially according to the invention at least at level with the upper part of the opening of said ear.
- the welding tab of the active metal part easily finds its place between this plate and the corresponding cheek of the carcass of the underlying electrical circuit, without interference with this cheek.
- connection terminal according to this embodiment of the invention with respect to the transformer which it equips extends more upwards than laterally, while being particularly compact and space-saving.
- connection terminal according to this embodiment of the invention is thereby facilitated, the environment upwards being usually less congested than laterally, in particular for adjacent transformers.
- advantage is taken of this arrangement to provide the connection terminal with two inlet passages.
- connection terminal is therefore further characterized in that, an inlet passage being provided in the usual manner on the front wall of the cover for access to the active metal part, another passage d entry is further provided for the same purpose on the rear wall of this cover.
- connection of a conductor can thus be made either from the front or from the rear, which gives the connection terminal according to this embodiment of the invention great flexibility of use.

- the plate 19 of the support body 11 extends in overhang from the base 18 of this one.
- the plate 19, which is substantially square with the base 18, extends substantially at least at level with the upper part of the opening 20 of the ear that forms the base 18.
- this plate 19 comprises, in its central zone, a recess 27.
- the active part 14 comprises, overall, a support sole 28, by which it is adapted to bear on the plate 19 of the support body 11, and with which are associated, for clamping any conductor to be connected, a clamping plate 29 and a clamping screw 30 capable of urging the latter towards the support plate 28, and an oblique welding tongue 32, by which it is adapted, by welding, to be connected to a wire belonging to the electrical circuit of transformer 12.
- the active metal part 14 between its support flange 28 and its welding tongue 32, the active metal part 14 further comprises an intermediate section 33.
- this intermediate section 33 extends substantially perpendicular to the support sole 28 and passes through a passage 34 provided for this purpose in the plate 19 of the support body 11, said passage 34 forming an extension of the recess 27 of this plate 19.
- the obliquity of the welding tongue 32 is relatively reduced.
- the intermediate section 33 of the active metal part 14 has notches 36, which allow it to snap onto the plate 19 of the support body 11, the latter having, in a complementary manner, at the corresponding ends of its passage 34, opposing support shoulders 37.
- the lateral insulation cheeks 15 belong to the cover 17, and form an integral part of the latter, the assembly having come in one piece, for example by molding.
