Abstract

See full text

A lever connector for contacting electrical conductors includes features and improvements over other lever connectors. The lever connector includes a housing, a busbar located within the housing, one or more lever mechanisms, and one or more resilient members that connect the lever mechanisms to the busbar. The lever mechanism includes a lever located on a near side of the busbar bridge and a lifting mechanism located on a far side of the busbar bridge opposite the near side of the busbar bridge. When the lever is actuated and lifted upwards and away from the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the resilient member to release away from the busbar. When the lever is closed and pushed downward toward the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the resilient member downward to push the electrical conductor against the busbar, thereby making electrical contact between the electrical conductor and the busbar.
