Abstract
A standard type electrical connector element (1; 100; 200; 300), with a square cross-section measuring about 21×21 mm, includes (2; 102; 202; 302) within which are formed seats (22) adapted to house contacts (4; 204) adapted to receive the conductors (50) of electrical feed cables; a seat (23) adapted to house a contact (6; 106; 206; 306) adapted to go into contact with the conductor of an electrical earth cable, a cover (8; 108) which can be coupled on the body and which is provided with holes (83, 82) disposed in register with the contacts (4; 204) to allow the conductors of the feed and earth cables to be inserted, and spring elements (7) disposed in the seats (22, 23) of the body in which the contacts are housed to clamp the conductors of the electrical cables in contact with the respective contacts.

21 mm, adapted to couple with a complementary electrical connector element, said electrical connector element comprising;
a body of insulating material (2;
102;
202;
302) inside which are formed;
seats (22) adapted to house respective metal contacts (4;
204) adapted to receive respective conductors (50) of electrical feed cables, anda seat (23) adapted to house a metal contact (6;
106;
206;
306) adapted to come into contact with a conductor of an electrical earth cable,a cover (8;
108) which can be coupled on said body and provided with holes (83, 82) disposed in register with said contacts (4;
204) to allow insertion of the conductors of the feed and earth cables, characterized in that it further comprises;
spring clamping means (7) of metal material disposed in said seats (22, 23) of the body in which the contacts are housed, to clamp the electrical cable conductors in contact with the respective contacts, the whole so that said metal parts of the connector element remain protected inside said insulating body, allowing the connector element to be used with rated voltages up to 400 Volts, even in metal cases. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
