Multi-terminal block for electronic devices having superimposed conductor connecting levels
View Patent ↗A multi-terminal block for electric devices, comprising two superimposed connecting levels for conductors, which can be used independent of each other, the multi-terminal block comprising: a first terminal block comprising a cage screw type conductor connector which comprises a cage and a screw for use securing the a first conductor, wherein the first terminal block cooperates with a terminal; and a second terminal block comprising a quick connecting type conductor connector, wherein the quick connecting type conductor connector comprises a strip spring for securing a second conductor, wherein the screw does not extend through the second terminal block and wherein the second terminal block is partially disposed within the cage such that the second terminal block cooperates with the terminal.
1. A multi-terminal block for electric devices, comprising two superimposed connecting levels for conductors, which can be used independent of each other, said multi-terminal block comprising:
a first terminal block comprising a cage screw type conductor connector which comprises a cage and a screw for use securing a first conductor, wherein said first terminal block cooperates with a terminal; and
a second terminal block comprising a quick connecting type conductor connector, wherein said quick connecting type conductor connector comprises a strip spring for securing a second conductor, wherein said screw does not extend through said second terminal block and wherein said second terminal block is partially disposed within said cage such that said second terminal block cooperates with said terminal.
2. The multi-terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein said terminal comprises an insertion window that communicates with said second terminal block.
3. The multi-terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein said strip spring has a shape that resembles the number “5”.
4. The multi-terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein said strip spring is a metal sheet spring.
5. The multi-terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein a pin type busbar is disposed within said insertion window and said second terminal block.
6. The multi-terminal block according to claim 2 , wherein said strip spring comprises a free end which is elastically supported on a surface of said terminal substantially parallel to an axis of said insertion window.
7. The multi-terminal block according to claim 6 , wherein said strip spring comprises a plurality of wings which holds said strip spring parallel to the axis of said insertion window.
8. The multi-terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein said strip spring has a plurality of legs that hold said strip spring inside said second terminal block.
