Electrical connector

An electrical connector module comprising:

• a housing defining a chamber with an entry port for receiving an electrical cable;
• a connector interface for mating with a complementary connector, the connector interface comprising an electrically conductive connector element for engaging a corresponding connector element of the complementary connector;
• and
• at least one connection terminal provided within the chamber and configured to engage an exposed conductor end of the electrical cable and provide an electrical connection between the electrical cable and the connector interface, the at least one connection terminal comprising a clamping mechanism for connecting a conductor of the electrical cable to the electrical connector module;
• wherein the housing comprises a main body portion and a lid movably coupled to the main body portion, the main body portion and the lid together forming the chamber and the entry port, the lid being movable relative to the main body portion from an open position in which the chamber is accessible and a closed position in which the chamber is covered, wherein movement of the lid from the open position to the closed position causes the clamping mechanism to clamp the exposed end of the electrical cable.

An electrical connector module comprising:

• a housing;
• a connector interface for mating with a complementary connector, the connector interface comprising an electrically conductive connector element for engaging a corresponding connector element of the complementary connector;
• and
• a connection terminal provided within the housing and configured to engage an exposed conductor end of an electrical cable and provide an electrical connection between the electrical cable and the connector interface;
• wherein the connection terminal comprises a clamping mechanism including:
• a frame;
• and
• a spring member mounted on the frame;
• wherein the electrically conductive connector element of the connector interface is integrally formed as part of the frame.
