Plug-in electrical connector including slide conductor fastener means

摘要

A connector for connecting at least one first conductor 5 with another conductor 50, including a connector body 2 having a first end containing a chamber 2a, and a second end containing a through bore 2b communicating with the chamber, a slide member 4 slidably mounted in the connector body chamber, the slide member containing a transverse bore 25 for receiving the first conductor, the slide member including at its end within the chamber a longitudinally projecting pin portion 18, and an electrical terminal 3 slidably mounted on the slide member pin portion, the slide member being slidably displaceable relative to the electrical contact from a first position in which a contact portion 9 of the terminal is remote from the transverse bore to permit the insertion of the first conductor therein, to a second position in which the contact portion extends across the transverse bore in electrical engagement with the first conductor, the free extremity of the contact being received by a corresponding opposed recess formed in the wall of the transverse bore.
