A battery terminal post cable clamp made from a highly conductive material, preferably lead, and having a metallic clamping plate adapted to threadably receive connecting bolts, the shanks of which are freely journaled through suitable apertures formed in the cable-receiving tail portion of the clamp body. As the clamping bolts thread directly into the cable-retaining clamping plate, no nuts are required, and cables having different diameters can readily be attached to either the top or bottom surfaces of the cable-receiving tail portion of the clamp body.
Disclosed herein is a coupling clamp formed by shaping a sheet-metal blank or tube length and having an axially slotted hollow body (14) forming a socket for a shaft or other transmission member and having a lug (17) depending from either side of the slot (15), the lugs being pierced (18) for the passage of a bolt or the like by which the clamp can be tightened to bear radially onto a shaft, at least one of the lugs having at least one internal tab (13) extending at least part-way across the slot and shaped to bear radially onto a shaft on tightening the clamp.
In order to create a two-layer battery terminal (1) for the connection of several items of equipment and thus optimize its handling in production and installation, the connection area (5) consists of a two-layer crimp (7) and two additional connection elements (12, 13) which are arranged in extensions (14, 15, 16, 17) of the upper layer (3) and/or lower layer (4) symmetrically to the longitudinal axis (A) of the battery terminal (1).
Universal battery terminal connector for connecting either the top post battery terminal or a side post battery terminal to a battery cable. The connector is an elongated metal body having means for connection to a top post battery terminal, second means for connection to a side post battery terminal, and third means for receiving one end of a battery cable and providing an electrical connection therewith. The top post battery terminal connection is at one end, the side battery terminal connection is either at the other end or in the middle, and the battery cable connection is correspondingly in the middle or at the other end.
It is an object of the invention to provide a configuration wherein, in a multipolar electrical connector B, when a counter electrical connector 100 is not inserted, a number of contacts 3 are individually protected from an external force, and, when the counter electrical connector 100 is inserted, even if the contacts are somewhat bent, the contacts can be connected in an unforced manner with contacts of the counter electrical connector. In the multipolar electrical connector B, a cover member 4 is disposed in an insertion space 2 formed in the body 1, so as to be movable in extracting and retracting directions. The tip ends of the contacts 3 are housed in hole portions 41 of the cover member 4. Spring members 5 for urging the cover member 4, and an engaging mechanism 10 which restricts the position of the cover member are disposed between the body 1 and the cover member 4.
A terminal clamp and electrical wire mounting arrangement includes a metal clamp, the clamp having a smoothly arched clamping head attached to a connector at a storage battery, and first and second clamping arms extended from two opposite ends of the clamping head, a metal holding down plate coupled to one clamping arm of the clamp to hold down an electrical wire, and a screw bolt inserted through a through hole at the holding down plate and a through hole at the first clamping arm of the clamp and threaded into the screw hole at the second clamping arm of the clamp to fix the holding down plate to the first clamping arm, and close the first and second clamping arms together, enabling the clamp to be firmly secured to the connector at the storage battery.
