Leadframe having selectively removable bridges between terminals and contacts

Abstract: The present invention relates to a leadframe having a plurality of connections for electrical conductors, a plurality of contacts and at least two outer current bars, and to a connecting socket having a leadframe as well as to a system for transmission of electrical power, in particular from a plurality of solar modules (photovoltaic modules), having a connecting socket such as this. In order to devise a leadframe which occupies as little space as possible, at least one connection ( 32 a - e ) is provided for an electrical conductor between the outer current bars ( 34 a, b ). This allows the leadframe to have a compact physical shape. The invention is based on the discovery that leadframes are used in the prior art to bridge the distances between predetermined contact separations, offering the possibility of producing, in one stamped part, strip conductors which have different geometries. Furthermore, a connecting socket having such a leadframe is described, and a system for transmission of electrical power using such a connecting socket.

Cable connection device

Abstract: A cable connection device is described for electroconductive connection of a preferably multiwire cable, comprising a forcing nut, a receiving device and a contact carrier The cable is guided through the forcing nut and through an opening of the receiving device, which comprises a wire receiving element A stripped wire section of the cable can be positioned radially to the longitudinal axis of the cable connection device, on the wire receiving element, and the forcing nut can be screwed onto the contact carrier so that the forcing nut engages around the receiving device, the wire receiving element is directed towards the contact carrier and the receiving device can be pushed towards the contact carrier by the screwing nut The cable has a compact structure and can be very easily and/or rapidly connected to a cable, and/or produced very economically on the basis of its simple construction and few individual parts

Electric pin-and-socket connector for mounting on a printed circuit board has a casing, contact elements formed by contact springs and a counter-contact element

Abstract: A contact element is formed through first (4) and second (5) contact springs fitted opposite each other. The contact springs each have a contact area (6) for making contact with a counter-contact element (7) pushed in between the contact springs. A connection area (8) makes an electrical contact with a printed circuit board. - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for an electric pin-and-socket connector system with an electric pin-and-socket connector.

Automatisierungsgerät zum redundanten Steuern eines Busteilnehmers

Abstract: Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Automatisierungsgerat (100) zum redundanten Steuern eines Busteilnehmers mittels einer ersten Steuerung und einer zweiten Steuerung, mit: einer Busschnittstelle (101) zur Kommunikation mit dem Busteilnehmer; einer ersten Kommunikationsschnittstelle (103) zur Kommunikation mit der ersten Steuerung uber ein erstes Kommunikationsnetzwerk; einer zweiten Kommunikationsschnittstelle (105) zur Kommunikation mit der zweiten Steuerung uber ein zweites Kommunikationsnetzwerk; und einem Prozessor (107), wobei der Prozessor (107) ausgebildet ist, von der Busschnittstelle (101) empfangene Busdaten an die erste Kommunikationsschnittstelle (103) und an die zweite Kommunikationsschnittstelle (105) auszusenden; wobei die erste Kommunikationsschnittstelle (103) ausgebildet ist, die empfangenen Busdaten an die erste Steuerung auszusenden, wobei die zweite Kommunikationsschnittstelle (105) ausgebildet ist, die empfangenen Busdaten an die zweite Steuerung auszusenden, und wobei die erste Kommunikationsschnittstelle (103) und die zweite Kommunikationsschnittstelle (105) kommunikationstechnisch voneinander getrennt sind; und wobei der Prozessor (107) ausgebildet ist, uber die erste Kommunikationsschnittstelle (103) empfangene erste Kommunikationsdaten und uber die zweite Kommunikationsschnittstelle (105) empfangene zweite Kommunikationsdaten uber die Busschnittstelle (101) an den Busteilnehmer auszusenden.

Functional unit for a programmable controller having redundancy function

Abstract: The functional unit (1) can be inserted into a plug-in position in a memory programmable controller with several plug-in positions, has connections for a system bus, an address bus (13) and a control bus and can communicate with an associated CPU with read and write access. The CPU can output signals over the control bus to inform the functional unit to signal to the CPU that it is inserted into a plug-in position. The functional unit contains memory devices (8,9) which store at least the number or address of a plug-in position in which no other active functional unit is inserted and devices (2) to indicate the occupancy of this position directly on the address bus. An Independent claim is also included for a memory programmable controller.
