Abstract

An improved multipolar electrical connector with spring contacts suitable for making electrical wiring for civil and/or industrial purposes, comprising a connector body inside which are arranged the spring contacts for the locking of conductors inserted in receptacles formed in said connector body, the spring contacts which lock/unlock the conductors by means of actuator pins sliding with respect to additional receptacles, the connector comprising also means for a rapid and easy access of a probe of a testing device to allow electrical measurements with the conductors blocked by the actuator pins.

Claims (8)

1. An improved multipole electrical connector with spring contacts suitable for making electrical wiring for civil and/or industrial purposes, comprising a connector body inside of which are arranged the spring contacts for the locking of conductors inserted in receptacles formed in said connector body, the spring contacts which lock/unlock the conductors by means of actuator pins sliding with respect to additional receptacles, wherein the connector further comprises a means for a quick and easy access of a probe of a testing device to allow electrical measurements with the conductors blocked by the actuator pins, said means being formed on the actuator pins themselves.

2. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein said means are defined by a longitudinally extended opening facing in the direction of the spring contact.

3. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 2 , wherein said longitudinally extended opening is defined by a groove with curved profile.

4. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 3 , wherein the groove has a semicircular profile.

5. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 3 , wherein the groove has a mixtilinear profile.

6. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 3 , wherein the groove has a semi-squared or semi-rectangular profile.

7. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 2 , wherein longitudinally extended opening is defined by a circular cross section through hole.

8. The multipole electrical connector according to claim 2 , wherein said longitudinally extended opening is defined by a quadrangular cross section through hole.
