Definitions

  • the clip connector in order to meet the aforenoted requirements, is formed of two parts attached, and relatively movable with respect, to one another. In the closed position of the clip, the two parts together define a clamping gap slightly narrower than the inner diameter of the insulated conductor.
  • the clip connector according to the invention comprises a part 1 made, for example, of copper and a circular part 2 rotatably received in a complemental circular opening of part 1 and having an integral, radially projecting eccentric lug 3.
  • the clip 1, 2 is preferably mounted in a transparent plastic block 4.
  • the clip Prior to the insertion of a conductor, the clip is brought into an open position in which the lug 3 is laterally disposed in the space 5 of part I.
  • a conductor having a wire 6 and an insulation 7 is inserted into the open clip between lug 3 of part 2 and a terminal plate 8 integral with part 1.
  • the part 2 is rotated clockwise into its closed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. This operation may be performed by a stemlike tool 9 temporarily inserted into a radially inwardly extending bore 10 of part 2.
  • the lug 3 forces the conductor against the plate 8, whereby the wire 6 cuts through the insulation 7 so that a good metal-to-metal contact is established between the wire 6 and the lug 3 on the one hand and between the wire 6 and the plate 8 on the other hand.
  • the insulation stripped from the wire is pushed aside by the clamping pans and accumulates about the said metal-tometal contact to such an extent that it functions as a seal against external effects that may harm the electrical contact.
  • FIGS. 3-6 illustrate four modifications of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the part 1 thereof is designed with a certain resiliency to permit its use with conductors of widely different diameters.
  • the part la according to FIG. 3 is made of substantial folds, so that part 2 is held therein in a radially resiliently yielding manner.
  • the part lb according to FIG. 4 is provided with a throughgoing slot 11 whereas the part 10 according to FIG. 42 has two diametrically opposed, outwardly extending nonthroughgoing slots 16.
  • the part 1d has a configuration that ensures an increased resiliency.
  • the part 1a ld is resiliently deformed to a lesser or greater extent whereby the rotary part 2 is radially displaced away from plate 8 to accommodateindividual conductors of widely different diameters.
  • a clip connector terminal for insulated conductors comprising A. a first part including I a circular opening, 2. a plate member fixedly secured to said first part and (B) a second part formed as a circular member held rotatably with respect to said first in said circular opening, said first and second parts adapted to assume an open and closed position; said second part including 1. a radial bore into which a tool for rotating said second part is insertable,
  • an eccentric lug said insulated conductor, when said first and second parts are in said open position, is adapted to be introduced into said clip connector between said eccentric lug and said plate member, said eccentric lug having an edge portion constituting a stripping means, said edge portion, when said lug is moved towards said closed position during rotation of said second part with respect to said first part, cooperates with said plate member to strip said conductor; said plate member and said edge portion of said lug, when in said closed position, defining a clamping gap having a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the stripped conductor for securely holding the latter.
  • a clip connector as defined in claim 2 wherein said first part is provided with a plurality of nonthroughgoing slots extending from said circular opening in said first part.
