A cable connector with improved performance and ease of use. The connector has staggered ports to reduce crosstalk and to prevent incorrect insertion of a plug into a receptacle. The plug may be constructed with subassemblies, each of which has a lossy central portion. Conductive members embedded within an insulative housing of the subassemblies may be used to electrically connect ground conductors within the subassemblies. Further, the connector may have a quick connect locking screw that can be engaged by pressing on the screw, but requires rotation of the screw to remove. Additionally, a ferrule may be used in making a mechanical connection between a cable bundle and a plug and making an electrical connection between a braid of the cable bundle and a conductive shell of the plug. The ferrule may be in multiple pieces for easy attachment while precluding deformation of the cable, which disrupts electrical performance.

An electric connection clamp or terminal clamp for connecting a terminal conductor has a clamp spring and a metal part. The clamp spring has a clamp limb and a contact limb, a recess for introducing the electric conductor being formed in said contact limb. The clamp limb and the contact limb are curved in such a manner that the end of the clamp limb penetrates through the recess. The end of the clamp limb and the contact limb form a spring force clamping connection for the conductor that is to be connected. The ends of the limbs each have a securing section and the securing section of the contact limb extends counter to the direction of introduction of the conductor through the recess.

An electrical cable connector includes a cable connector housing and a latch attached to the cable connector housing. The cable connector housing includes a first set of electrical contacts and a latch channel. The latch includes an arm portion, a hinge portion, and an actuation portion. The arm portion is disposed in the latch channel and includes a pair of latch arms. The latch arms include opposing catch portions disposed at a front end thereof and are adapted to securely attach the cable connector to a mating connector by surrounding a protrusion inside a housing of the mating connector. The hinge portion extends from a back end of the arm portion. The actuation portion extends generally upwardly from the hinge portion. Pressing down the actuation portion about the hinge portion splays the latch arms such that the catch portions are moved away from each other.

Electric connecting clamp contains clamping spring (1) and metal member (2) in insulating housing with inserting aperture for conductor (3) to be connected. In support shank (5) of clamping spring is formed recess (7). Clamping (4) and support shanks are so bent that end (8) of clamping shank protrudes into recess.Clamping spring includes holding section (9) which, together with support shank, extend parallel to inserting direction of conductor and are closely spaced. Current rail member (6) is insertable through recess between support shank and holding section in opposite direction of conductor inserting direction.

The spring clamp (2) has a bearing arm (3) resting on the current rail (1), a curved section (4) with an upper arm (5) above the current rail and a front arm (7) bent back in the direction of the current rail with a window (8) through which the current rail extends. The end section (10) of the bearing arm is curved inwards and rests against the inside face of the front arm on either side of the window, with a straight tongue (12) cut out from the end section fitting through the window together with the current rail.

Dargestellt und beschrieben ist eine elektrische Anschlus- oder Verbindungsklemme zum Anschliesen eines elektrischen Leiters (1), mit einer Klemmfeder (2) und mit einem Metallteil (3), wobei die Klemmfeder (2) einen Klemmschenkel (4) und einen Anlageschenkel (5) aufweist, in dem Anlageschenkel (5) eine Ausnehmung (7) zum Einstecken des elektrischen Leiters (1) ausgebildet ist, der Klemmschenkel (4) und der Anlageschenkel (5) derart aufeinander zugebogen sind, das sich das Ende (8) des Klemmschenkels (4) durch die Ausnehmung (7) hindurcherstreckt, an dem dem Ende (8) des Klemmschenkels (4) fernen Ende der Ausnehmung (7) ein Halteabschnitt (9) aus dem Anlageschenkel (5) freige stanzt und in Einsteckrichtung des anzuschliesenden elektrischen Leiters (1) ab gebogen ist, und das Metallteil (3) einen Kontaktschenkel (10), einen gegenuber liegenden Halteschenkel (11) und einen die Schenkel (10, 11) verbindenden Steg (12) aufweist, wobei das Ende (8) des Klemmschenkels (4) und der Kontakt schenkel (10) einen Federkraftklemmanschlus fur den anzuschliesenden Leiter (1) bildenden, und wobei die Enden der Schenkel (10, 11) jeweils einen Befestigungsabschnitt (13, 14) aufweisen und sich der Befestigungsabschnitt (13) des Kontaktschenkels (10) entgegengesetzt zur Einsteckrichtung des Leiters (1) durch die Ausnehmung (7) erstreckt. Bei der erfindungsgemasen elektrischen Anschlus- oder Verbindungsklemme wird eine einfache aber dennoch sichere Fixierung der Klemmfeder (2) am Metallteil (3) dadurch erreicht, das der Befestigungsabschnitt (14) des Halteschenkels (11) an der der Ausnehmung (7) abgewandten Ausenseite des Halteabschnitts (9) anliegt.
