DEFINITION

Classification: 439/725

Having movable insulated part for securing conductor or mating connector thereto:

(under subclass 625) Electrical connector wherein a part of the connector structure is either electrically insulated from the current-carrying portions of the connector or the part itself is formed in whole or in part of insulating material, which part is movable to electrically and mechanically

connect a conductor or complementary connector thereto or is movable to electrically and mechanically release or disconnect a conductor or complementary connector therefrom.

(1) Note. The movable insulated securing part may be, for example, a lever, handle, push button, nut, screw etc.

(2) Note. A movable insulated part which constitutes merely a sleeve or housing for enclosing a connection and which is moved into position after the connected parts have been brought together has been excluded from this and the indented subclasses.
