Part of a device into which the conductor to be connected is introduced.

IEV 461-17-06

CLASS 1 CONDUCTORS

Copper or aluminium solid conductors with circular or shaped cross-section for single-core and multi-core cables. Copper or aluminum stranded (multiple wires) circular non-compacted (wires with the same circular section) or circular compacted (wires with different circular sections) or shaped for single-core and multiple-core cables. Copper flexible conductors (multiple wires) with wires with the same circular section for single-core and multiple-core cables. Copper flexible conductors (which are more flexible than class 5 conductors) with wires with the same circular section for for single-core and multiple-core cables. Method of securing a connector to a conductor by using a special tool to produce permanent deformation of connector and conductor. Method of securing a connector to a conductor, for example by means of a bolt or screw working on the latter or by alternative methods. Metallic device for connecting a conductor to an equipment terminal or for connecting two or more conductors to each other. Connector in which the electrical contact with the conductor is made by metallic protusions which pierce the insulation of the cable core. Metallic device for connecting a branch conductor to a main conductor at an intermediate point on the latter. Metallic device to connect a cable conductor to other electrical equipment. Valore di corrente assegnato dal costruttore, che il connettore può portare con continuità (senza interruzione) e contemporaneamente attraverso tutti i suoi contatti, cablati con il conduttore specificato di più elevata Section, preferibilmente ad una temperatura ambiente di 40°C, senza che sia superata la temperatura limite superiore. Connecting device that is made of several terminals, insulated from each other in a common housing of insulation material, which can be split by the user to make connecting devices with one or more terminals. Shortest distance between two conductive parts or between a conductive part and the device accessible surface. Band or length of material, employing a docking device, used for bundling or tying groups of cables together, securing and/or supporting the cables. Assembly of terminals in a housing or body of insulating material to facilitate the interconnection amoung multiple conductors. Electrical connection consisting of a male tab and a female connector, which can be inserted and withdrawn with or without a tool. Part of a terminal lug used for the connection to an electrical equipment. A device designed to allow the entry of a cable, a flexible cable or an insulated conductor in a casing and to provide sealing and tightness. Voltage derived from the rated voltage and the overvoltage category of the devices, characterizing the specified resistance capability of its insulation against transient overvoltages. Value of voltage assigned by the manufacturer to the connector and to which operation and performance characteristics are referred. r.m.s. withstand voltage value assigned by the manufacturer to the connector , characterizing the specified (long term) withstand capability of its insulation. The rated insulation voltage is not necessarily equal to the rated voltage, which is primarily related to functional performance. Metallic device for connecting two consecutive lenghts of a conductor.
