Two-Part Conductor Terminal Housing for Safe, Simple Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing conductor connection terminals lack a simplified construction and efficient assembly process, while also requiring improved operational safety and insulation.
Innovation Solution
A conductor connection terminal with a housing composed of two parts, a first housing part with a receiving structure and a second housing part with multiple walls, which encloses the contact insert to provide mechanical protection and electrical insulation, ensuring easy assembly and adherence to safety clearances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a housing with multiple parts and walls is used to enclose the contact insert, then operational safety and electrical insulation are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is divided into a first housing part with a receiving structure and a second housing part with multiple walls. This segmentation allows the contact insert to be securely received and enclosed, providing both mechanical protection and electrical insulation while maintaining a manageable structural complexity through modular design.
2Ease of operation
If a receiving structure is integrated into the first housing wall, then assembly is simplified and positioning is intuitive, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving structure is pre-formed as an integral part of the first housing wall, creating a predefined positioning feature that guides the contact insert during assembly. This preliminary action simplifies the assembly process by providing intuitive positioning, while the receiving structure's design accommodates standard manufacturing tolerances.

AI summary
A conductor connection terminal with a contact insert that has a bus bar and a clamping spring, and with a housing that has a first housing part and a second housing part and that at least partially encloses the contact insert, wherein the first housing part has a first housing wall with a receiving structure for receiving the contact insert, and the second housing part has multiple additional housing walls for covering the contact insert received by the first housing part. A conductor connection terminal is also provided with a contact insert that has a bus bar and a clamping spring, and with a housing that has a first housing part and a second housing part and that at least partially encloses the contact insert. The first housing part has a first conductor insertion channel section and the second housing part has a second conductor insertion channel section.
