Supporting frame Apparatus bar Side plate Fig. 4 Equipment trame Fig. 5 Case Connections between plug-in units are made with socket-equipped plug-in leads. Electrical ‘connections are made directly from the male terminal pin of the unit to the female terminal ‘socket crimped to the lead, see Fig. 6. The pins ‘on the unit is normally connected in pairs inside the unit which permits branching of each electri cal point. os) Fig. 6 Electrical connection between plug-in unit and socket lead “The method of connection with socket-equipped leads is used for all COMBIFLEX-parts which Ccontain locking clips. Fig. 7a~74 illustrates this principle. When the socket lead is inserted into a terminal base, Fig. 7a, where a plug-in unit has ‘been inserted, the socket will enclose the pin on the unit and is secured by the locking clip inside the terminal base, Fig. 7b. The socket lead can only be disconnected with the aid of a clip- spreading tool, extractor FTXD, Fig. 7c. This method of connection is both rapid and reliable. Pins, sockets and locking clips are pro- tected against inadvertent contact and tensile strength of the joint between socket and lead is exceptionally high. a) (oso) ») (soe ° 0 om Fig. 7 Lead retention clip details and view of rear of terminal baseABB Relays.
