Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of connection of low-voltage electrical appliances and more particularly to a plug-in connector for terminal blocks.
  • a withdrawable connector for a terminal block provides the electrical connection between a conductive electrical wire and a plug of the terminal block connected to a first connection portion.
  • a plug-in connector can thus be replaced on a terminal block according to the characteristics of the electrical conductor to be connected, in particular according to its diameter.
  • connection terminal and the connection socket are arranged in the insulating body of the withdrawable connector independently.
  • connection terminal is solely for the purpose of creating an electrical connection with the conductive electrical wire.
  • connection socket only has the function of creating an electrical connection with the complementary socket of the terminal block.
  • connection socket has no mechanical interaction with the conductive electrical wire which remains at a distance from it.
  • connection terminal exerts a clamping pressure on a portion of the conductive electrical wire located at a distance from its free end.
  • the insulating body includes a specific housing for receiving this end of the conductive electrical wire having passed through the connection terminal.
  • a plug-in connector of the state of the art has an overall footprint of at least 40 mm.
  • the size of the withdrawable connectors prevents the insertion of an additional row of connection blocks in a cabinet or an electrical box.
  • the present invention aims to solve all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the present invention relates to a withdrawable connector as described above characterized in that it comprises a passage for the conductive electrical wire connecting the first housing of the connection terminal and a second housing formed in the base of the connection socket.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the size of the plug-in connector by assigning to the base of the connection plug the dual function of holding the elastic connection and housing legs for the conductive electrical wire.
  • the passage is made in the insulating body.
  • the absence of portions of the insulating body between the first housing of the connection terminal and the second housing formed in the base of the connection socket may make it possible to form a passage for the conductive electrical wire.
  • the second housing is disposed in alignment with the first housing in the direction of insertion of the conductive electrical wire.
  • This arrangement makes it easier to access the conductive electrical wire to the second housing.
  • the base of the connection socket has a U-shaped profile.
  • connection socket This arrangement makes it easy to create the base of the connection socket by extending the two elastic connection branches from the two branches of the U-shape.
  • connection terminal is of the leaf spring type.
  • This arrangement makes it easier to insert the conductive electrical wire into the connection terminal.
  • the leaf spring type connection terminal comprises a conductive portion, said conductive portion and the connection socket being formed in one piece.
  • This arrangement makes it easier to assemble the plug-in connector while optimizing manufacturing costs.
  • the conductive portion comprises a first portion having an opening disposed facing the first opening of the insulating body.
  • the presence of an opening makes it possible to arrange the first portion transversely to the extension direction of the conductive electric wire while allowing it to pass. Thus it is not necessary to provide a first portion bypassing the conductive electrical wire. This arrangement therefore makes it possible to produce a compact conductive part and thus to save space and material.
  • the conductive portion comprises a second portion and an elbow connecting the first portion to the second portion.
  • the second portion is solid and extends in a plane substantially parallel to the direction of insertion of the conductive electrical wire.
  • the first portion extends substantially in a plane inclined relative to a plane transverse to the direction of insertion of the electrical conductor wire.
  • connection terminal of the leaf spring type comprises a leaf spring having a bearing leg and a clamping leg connected by a bend.
  • This arrangement allows additional space saving in the insulating body of the plug-in connector.
  • the support branch bears on a first edge of the opening of the first portion and wherein the clamping branch is intended to clamp the conductive electric wire against a second edge of the opening the first portion opposite the first edge and against the second portion of the connection terminal.
  • the opening is intended not only for the passage of the conductive electrical wire but is also intended to serve as a support for the leaf spring. This arrangement therefore saves space and material by providing a compact arrangement of the connection terminal.
  • the insulating body comprises a portion disposed between the two elastic connecting arms and adjacent to the second housing.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to create a stop so as to prevent the conductive electrical wire from interfering during the insertion of the connection socket of the withdrawable connector into the complementary connection socket of the terminal block.
  • the plug-in connector has an overall size of less than 35 mm.
  • a detachable connector 1 As illustrated in figure 1 a detachable connector 1 according to the invention comprises an insulating body 2, a connection terminal 10 and a connection socket 20.
  • the insulating body 2 comprises a first opening 3 intended to allow the insertion of a conductive electrical wire C, a second opening 4 intended to allow the insertion of a male plug of a terminal block (not shown).

  • the support branch 17 and the clamping branch 18 are connected by a bend 19.
  • the removal of the conductive electrical wire C from the insulating body 2 can be achieved by applying a stress on the clamping branch 18 of the leaf spring 16 by means of a tool inserted through the third opening 5.
  • connection terminal 10 thus forms a housing 8 for the conductive electrical wire C introduced into the insulating body 2 through the first opening 3.
  • this housing 8 can be defined as being an area of the space located substantially between the two planes in which substantially the first portion 12 and the second portion 14 of the conductive portion 11 of the terminal of connection 10 and a plane substantially transverse to the insertion direction D of the conductive electrical wire C in the insulating body 2 in which the free end of the first portion 12 of the conductive portion 11 of the connection terminal 10 is inscribed.
  • connection socket 20 comprises a base 21 having a U-shaped profile having a base 21a and two branches 21b, 21c.
