Lever connector for electrical conductors and terminals
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230420873A1) describes a lever connector designed for contacting electrical conductors and/or terminals. The lever connector includes a housing made of insulating material, a busbar with a base surface and an arm, a lever mechanism with a lever and a lifting mechanism, and a resilient member with fixed and clamping sections. When the lever is actuated, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section to either release from the base surface or push the electrical conductor against it, facilitating electrical contact between the conductor and the busbar.
Furthermore, the lever connector features multiple embodiments with variations in the design of the busbar, lever mechanism, and resilient member. These variations include different configurations for the busbar arms, lever mechanisms on opposite sides of the busbar arms, and resilient members connected to the lifting mechanisms. The design allows for efficient and reliable contact between electrical components, with the lever mechanism guiding the lifting mechanism along the busbar arm to ensure proper engagement. Additionally, the housing includes conductor openings to accommodate electrical wires, enhancing the versatility and practicality of the lever connector for various applications in electrical systems.
