Mains-powered electric motor

Abstract: The motor has a motor connection box on the motor housing into which are connected at least one power cable and a data cable for carrying motor operating state information. A motor circuit stage (7) performs changeover switching, gentle run-up, overload cut-out functions, etc. The motor circuit stage is mounted inside the motor connection housing (3). The control signals for the motor circuit stage are also transferred via the data cable (6) and the power cable (4) is directly connected to the mains.

Electrical apparatus having a screw terminal

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is an electrical apparatus ( 1 ) having a screw terminal for connecting electrical conductors, comprising a housing ( 3 ) with an upper face and a lower face ( 5, 7 ) and at least two screw shafts ( 9 ) which are arranged next to one another in the housing ( 3 ), wherein the screw shafts ( 9 ) each have a screw feed opening ( 12 ) on the upper face ( 5 ) and extend in the direction of the lower face ( 7 ). A transition region ( 11 ) connects the screw shafts ( 9 ) to one another. Projections ( 17 ) are arranged on the inner face of the screw shafts ( 9 ). The invention is characterized in that the projections ( 17 ) end at or beneath the level of the upper face ( 5 ) of the transition region ( 11 ), as viewed from the lower face ( 7 ), and also the projections ( 17 ) are arranged only outside the transition region ( 11 ), or at least one first projection ( 17 ) is provided outside the transition region ( 11 ) and a second projection is provided inside the transition region ( 11 ), wherein the radial extent of the second projection is less than that of the first projection ( 17 ).

Latch and extractor for electronic module

Abstract: An electronic module for mounting on a base includes a module body and a latch extractor assembly having a metal latch member with a spring arm, a shift member and a latch, and an extractor engageable with the shift member for movement of the latch out of engagement with the base.

Electrical connector with latched insulating body which can be detached with a tool and release tool

Abstract: The electrical connector (1) has an insulating body (3), which is releasable by a tool from the plug side (7) of a housing section (5). A locking device (10) and a receiving recess (12) are separated in the circumferential direction of housing section. The locking device has two shell-shaped locking units (4), which are separated from one another. The receiving recess has a corresponding number of locking unit receptacles (11) for the locking units. The locking units are for the locking unit receptacles and each has a support element for the insulating body, which is sticking out laterally. An independent claim is also included for an unlocking tool for the insulating body of an electrical connector.
