Abstract
The object of the present invention is an insulating body (1) for a pluggable connector (10) intended to be connected to a junction block (100), said insulating body (1) comprising a housing (2) for conductive parts (11, 12) comprising a connection terminal (11) for a conductive wire intended to be connected to the pluggable connector (10), said housing (2) comprising a support portion (6) for the connection terminal (11) and being arranged to open on a side wall (3) of the insulating body (1) via an aperture (4) arranged on said side wall (3), the insulating body (1) comprising wedging means (7), said wedging means (7) being disposed in whole or in part within a portion of the housing (2) situated facing the support portion (6) of the housing (2).
Claims9
An insulating body for a pluggable connector configured to be connected to a junction block, said insulating body comprising:
- a housing for conductive parts comprising a connection terminal for a conductive wire configured to be connected to the pluggable connector,
- said housing comprising a support portion for the connection terminal and being arranged to open on a side wall of the insulating body via an aperture arranged on said side wall,
- the insulating body comprising:
- wedging means of the connection terminal, said wedging means presenting a hemi-cylindrical shape being disposed in whole or in part within a portion of the housing situated facing a hemi-cylindrical shape of the support portion of the housing, both hemi-cylindrical shapes arranged for cooperating with the connection terminal and said wedging means being secured to a plate of the insulating body with a determined thickness arranged to bear on the side wall of the insulating body, wherein the thickness of the plate is determined so as to catch up the pitch of the junction block on which the pluggable connector is configured to be connected, and
- tenons located on the side wall and orientated in a direction opposite the pluggable connector, the tenons configured to cooperate with mortises disposed on a wall of an adjacent pluggable connector.
