TL;DR: In this paper, a plug connector is designed to establish an electrical connection to a second plug connector which is associated with the electric vehicle or the charging device, and the plug connector has an actuator which can be driven by an electrical pulse, for locking or unlocking the plug connectors.
Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a plug connector (1) for electrically connecting an electric vehicle to a charging device, wherein the plug connector (1) is designed to establish an electrical connection to a second plug connector which is associated with the electric vehicle or the charging device, the plug connector (1) has an actuator (6), which can be driven by an electrical pulse, for locking or unlocking the plug connector (1), and the plug connector (1) has an energy source (7) for generating the electrical pulse. This has the enormous advantage that, in the event of a loss of power, in particular in the charging device or a rechargeable battery which is associated with the electric vehicle, plug connectors (1) which are connected to one another can be unlocked.

TL;DR: The print clamp has a housing defining a clamp chamber (2) containing a spring (4) with two ends having overlapping holes through which a conductor passes as mentioned in this paper, and a current rail passes through these openings.
Abstract: The print clamp has a housing defining a clamp chamber (2) containing a spring (4) with two ends having overlapping holes through which a conductor passes. A current rail (18) passes through these openings. The first spring end lies against the wall of the chamber with its opening aligned with a conductor entry opening (3). The second spring end is biased towards the actuation opening (17) and has an actuation end. The spring loop between its ends is bent parallel to the current rail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the detent hook of a detent arm is engaged in the locked condition of a connection plug at the terminal housing of a base terminal, and a groove-like recess is formed above the hole.
Abstract: The block (1) has a detent lug corresponding to a detent hook (18) of a detent arm (17) formed near to slots (12) e.g. sockets, at a terminal housing (6) of a base terminal. The lug engages the detent hook of the detent arm in the locked condition of a connection plug (3). A groove-like recess (22) is formed above the lug at the terminal housing. The groove-like recess is laterally limited by lower and upper bars (23, 24) running parallel to each other, and an identification label (25) is fixed between the bars. The lug is formed at a rear side of the lower bar directed to the recess.

TL;DR: In this article, an electrical connection or junction device is constructed in an insulation housing with two conductor insertion apertures for insertion of two electrical conductors (4, 14 ) to be connected, and two actuation aperture for inserting an actuating tool to open tension springs (2, 12 ).
Abstract: An electrical connection or junction device. An insulation housing ( 2 ) has two conductor insertion apertures ( 3, 13 ) for insertion of two electrical conductors ( 4, 14 ) to be connected and two actuation apertures ( 5, 15 ) for insertion of an actuating tool to open tension springs ( 2, 12 ). Tension springs ( 2, 12 ) each have a clamping arm ( 6, 16 ) with a cutaway ( 7, 17 ) to allow insertion of the electrical conductor ( 4, 14 ) to be connected, a bearing arm ( 8, 18 ) extends approximately perpendicularly to the clamping arm ( 6, 16 ), and a spine ( 9, 19 ) connects the clamping arm ( 6, 16 ) and the bearing arm ( 8, 18 ). The two tension springs ( 2, 12 ) are arranged at an angle of approximately 180° to one another, so that the two bearing arms ( 8, 18 ) are arranged with their bottom sides ( 10, 20 ) facing one another, the clamping arms ( 6, 16 ) overlap each other, and the cutaways ( 7, 17 ) at least partially cover each other when the tension springs ( 2, 12 ) are opened.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wall feedthrough is provided for connecting a voltage-carrying conductor of a solar generator to a combiner box housing, which is a two-part connector housing having a front housing part and an insert part which can be moved together with an electric terminal element as one unit relative to the front housing.
Abstract: A wall feedthrough is provided, which is pluggable on one side, for connecting a voltage-carrying conductor of a solar generator to a combiner box housing A two-part connector housing having a front housing part and an insert part which can be moved together with an electric terminal element as one unit relative to the front housing part, wherein the terminal element is pluggable on one side and has a spring-force clamp on the other side, and wherein in the closed state, the spring-force clamp is surrounded by a body sleeve of the front housing part, and in the open state the clamping device is pulled out of the body sleeve so as to be openable and closable, and wherein, for this purpose, the insert part has an exposed handle portion for the user
