Electrical terminal having a constantly visible labeling field

Abstract: An electric connection terminal includes a housing having at least one conductor insertion opening. A clamping spring is disposed in the housing. A metal part is disposed in the housing. An actuating element is disposed in the housing and has a handle configured to move the actuating element into an open position and a closed position so as to open and close the connection terminal. A labeling field identifying the connection terminal is disposed so as to be visible to a user at all times.

Connection port for electrical conductors

Abstract: the connection port has a current rail (3) and a first tension spring (1a) with one arm (4a) in contact with the current rail and another arm (2a) with a through opening (5a) for the current rail whose lower bounding edge (7a) forms a clamp edge for the conductor (11). A second spring (1b) matching the shape of the first tension spring (1a) and of the same spring material is mounted in the space within the first tension spring to increase the clamping force on the conductor

Supporting frame for holding modular contact inserts

Abstract: Ein Halterahmen (3) zum Aufnehmen von modularen Kontakteinsatzen (4) umfasst eine Offnung (30), in die zumindest ein Kontakteinsatz (4) in eine Einsetzrichtung (E) einsetzbar ist, und eine die Offnung (30) zumindest abschnittsweise begrenzende Rahmenwandung (31, 32), die einen Rand (313, 323) und mindestens eine in den Rand (313, 323) eingeformte Ausnehmung (310, 320) aufweist, in die bei Einsetzen eines Kontakteinsatzes (4) in die Offnung (30) ein Vorsprungselement (420, 421) des Kontakteinsatzes (4) einschiebbar ist. A holding frame (3) for receiving modular contact inserts (4) includes an opening (30) in the at least one contact insert (4) in an insertion direction (E) can be inserted, and an opening (30) at least partially bounding frame wall (31 , 32), an edge (313, 323) and at least one in the edge (313, 323) molded-in recess (310, 320) into which upon insertion of a contact insert (4) in the opening (30), a projection member ( 420, 421) of the contact insert (4) can be inserted. Zusatzlich ist ein an der Seitenwandung (31, 32) angeordnetes Sperrelement (35, 36, 38, 39) mit einem Bugelabschnitt (350, 360, 380, 390) vorgesehen, der in einer Sperrstellung die mindestens eine Ausnehmung (310, 320) entgegen der Einsetzrichtung (E) begrenzt, um das Vorsprungselement (420, 421) des Kontakteinsatzes (4) entgegen der Einsetzrichtung (E) in der Ausnehmung (310, 320) zu halten, und zum Freigeben des Vorsprungselements (420, 421) zum Entnehmen des Kontakteinsatzes (4) aus dem Halterahmen (3) quer zur Einsetzrichtung (E) aus der Sperrstellung heraus in eine Freigabestellung bewegbar ist. In addition, an on the side wall (31, 32) arranged blocking element (35, 36, 38, 39) with a hanger portion (350, 360, 380, 390) is provided, the counter in a locking position the at least one recess (310, 320) the direction of insertion (e) limited to the protruding member (420, 421) of the contact insert (4) counter to the insertion direction (e) in the recess (310, 320) to hold and to release the projection element (420, 421) for taking out the contact insert (4) from the holding frame (3) transversely to the insertion direction (e) from the blocking position into a release position.

Method and apparatus for printing objects, in particular plastic parts

Abstract: A method for imprinting objects, including providing a printing machine configured to deliver at least one object to be imprinted to a printing apparatus using a retaining apparatus or an inscription carrier. A data processing system is provided and includes at least one print pattern stored in at least one database. The data processing system is connected to the printing machine and configured to control the printing machine. A liquid is applied so as to generate the at least one print pattern on a surface of the at least one object using the printing apparatus. The at least one object is then exposed to a radiation so as to dry and cure the liquid and then the retaining apparatus or the inscription carrier is conveyed to an output station. The retaining apparatus and inscription carrier are stackable in the output station.

Electrical terminal block

Abstract: An electrical terminal block, especially for locking onto a mounting rail, has a plurality of adjacent base terminals and connectors. Each base terminal has a terminal housing, with at least one conductor terminal element and at least one receptacle electrically connected to the conductor terminal element or at least two interconnected receptacles. The individual connectors have a connector housing, with at least one conductor terminal element and a plug-in contact electrically connected to the conductor terminal element. The individual connectors can be plugged onto the individual terminal housings. Reliable mechanical fixing of the connectors on the base terminals is ensured since each outer side of the base terminals has a fixing device on the terminal housing. Sides of adjacent connectors have a fixing cover with a fixing mechanism corresponding to the fixing device, so that the connectors can be mechanically connected to the fixing base terminals via the fixing covers.
