Abstract
A thermocouple connector adapted to an electromagnetic valve, the electromagnetic valve having a quick-connect terminal with a base. The connector has an inner surface that faces the base when the connector is inserted transversally to the connection terminal. The connector includes guiding means that projects out in relation to the inner surface, extending longitudinally in the direction of insertion, adapted to guide the transverse insertion of the connector. The connector is configured to come into contact with the base through the guiding means.
Claims17
A thermocouple connector adapted to be connected to a quick-connect terminal of an electromagnetic gas valve, the quick-connect terminal having a base with a contact surface electrically coupled to the electromagnetic gas valve, the connector comprising:
- an inner surface that is arranged for facing the base of the quick-connect terminal, the inner surface having a free end,
- a first guide that projects out in relation to the inner surface, extending longitudinally in a direction of insertion and configured to make electrical contact with the base of the quick-connect terminal;
- and
- a first stopper arranged on the inner surface projecting out in relation to the first guide and arranged aligned to the first guide in the direction of insertion extending longitudinally in the direction of insertion from the free end of the inner surface, the first stopper adapted to lock a transverse movement of the connector in relation to the quick-connect terminal once the connector has been attached to the quick-connect terminal.
An assembly comprising:
- an electromagnetic gas valve having a quick-connect terminal that has a base and a hole through which is fixed a phase wire of the electromagnetic gas valve,
- a thermocouple comprising a connector,
- the connector comprising:
- an inner surface that is arranged for facing the base of the quick-connect terminal, the inner surface having a free end,
- a first guide that projects out in relation to the inner surface, extending longitudinally in a direction of insertion and configured to make electrical contact with the base of the quick-connect terminal;
- and
- a first stopper arranged on the inner surface projecting out in relation to the first guide and arranged aligned to the first guide in the direction of insertion extending longitudinally in the direction of insertion from the free end of the inner surface, the first stopper adapted to lock a transverse movement of the connector in relation to the quick-connect terminal once the connector has been attached to the quick-connect terminal.
