Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for the electrical interconnection of electrical cables.
- each electrical cable stripped of its insulating sheath, is inserted in an appropriate housing of the corresponding terminal where, by means of a mechanical screw or spring system, the mechanical retention is made of the electrical cable whilst ensuring at the same time the closing of the relevant power circuit.
- the terminals equipped with a spring mechanism typically consist of a first portion with a spring for the connection to the electrical cable, and of a second portion provided with a pin (in case of male terminals) or a bush (in the case of female terminals), for the connection to the other terminal.
- Both the first portion and the second portion are made by pressing, shearing and bending a metal sheet.
- first portion and the second portion are joined together by welding.
- the main aim of the present invention is to provide a device for the electrical interconnection of electrical cables that, other conditions being equal, allows conducting more electrical current and is more economical compared to the terminals of known type.
- another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the manufacture of a device for the electrical interconnection of electrical cables that can be implemented in a practical and easy way and with lower production costs compared to traditional systems.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for the electrical interconnection of electrical cables and a process for the manufacture of a device for the electrical interconnection of electrical cables which allow to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art within the ambit of a simple, rational as well as easy and effective to use solution.
