  • Patent number: 9147953
    Abstract: A plug connector for solder-mounting on a circuit board, comprising an insulating body and at least one oblong electrical plug contact held therein in a receptacle chamber, that extends between a foot part associated with a circuit board and a head part of the insulating body that faces the foot part at a distance. The at least one plug contact comprises at a front end that is close to the head part an accessible electrically contactable plug section, a central section adjacent to the plug section, and, adjacent to the central section, an exposed soldering section at a rear end that is close to the foot part. According to the invention, the central section comprises a rigid cylindrical holding zone adjacent to the plug section as well as a cylindrical flexible deformation zone extending between the holding zone and the soldering section, so that the plug section of the at least one plug connector can be shifted laterally in relation to the soldering section in case of a deformation of the deformation zone.

  • Patent number: 7744393
    Abstract: The invention concerns a motor connector for supplying voltage to a polyphase motor, with a connector housing that contains a number of electrically conductive pass-through elements whose number matches the number of electrical supply lines to be connected. By means of said pass-through elements, the supply lines can be connected electrically to contacts of a connecting plug mounted on the outside of a motor hosing of the polyphase motor, said contacts being connected to the winding conductors of the motor. The operating mode of the motor in delta or star connection can be selected by internal bridge configuration of the pass-through elements. For this purpose, the connector housing has a coding section that is separated from the connection section for the supply lines, with the coding section preferably designed as an enclosed coding chamber so that the connection section forms a connection chamber that is separated from the coding chamber.

  • Patent number: 7621777
    Abstract: An electric plug connector for fastening to a wall, with a plug connector housing, on which, by means of a coupling sleeve, a plugged-in counter-plug connector, in the form of a plug or a jack, is securable, and with a flange plate with a central breakthrough, for receiving and for connecting the plug connector housing to a wall, the flange plate comprising through-bore holes for fastening screws. In the electric plug connector according to the invention the flange plate is implemented as one piece and detachably connected with the plug connector. An internal usable clearance of the central breakthrough of the flange plate corresponds to an outer diameter of a coupling sleeve of the plug connector and/or to an outer diameter of the plug connector housing. This embodiment permits in the radial direction of the plug connector a form-fitting connection of the flange plate with the plug connector housing without a special shape forming of the housing being required for this purpose.
