Abstract (en)
An electrical busbar terminal assembly has several hyperboloid spring sockets 21 to 32 mounted on a metal bar 20 spaced along its length. The sockets 21 to 32 extend along respective bores 13 of an insulating lower body 10 and the bar 20 extends along the bottom of the body being covered by a cover plate 12. The two end sockets 21 and 32 are larger than the others 22 to 31 and receive input power contacts 72 and 83 so that power is distributed from these sockets via the bar 20 to contacts 73 to 82 inserted in the other sockets. Catches 4 with inturned teeth 41 retain the contacts 72 to 83 after insertion. The catches 4 are located in bores in an upper closure 11 bonded to the lower body 10 and are trapped between the lower body and a step 44 in the upper closure. The catches 4 are electrically isolated from the sockets 21 to 32 until after insertion of a contact 72 to 83. <IMAGE>
