Abstract: There is disclosed a cable connector including a housing of an electrically insulating material containing one or more contact elements, one or more openings for accommodating a corresponding number of cables, and a means for establishing a connection to a counterpart, such as a header soldered to a printed circuit board. The means comprises a resilient latch which in turn comprises a guide with which the latch is fitted, preferably by means of sliding, into or onto a complementary guide, such as a groove or rail, on the housing.

Abstract: The invention describes a control unit of a valve mechanism with an electromagnetic coil (1) where the electromagnetic coil (1) is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit via a connection device which has an electrically conducting spring-mounted connecting ridge (10).

Abstract: In order to provide watertight properties between a spring socket (1) and a release socket (2) for a plug of a push-pull connector, a bellows expansion joint (5) is provided between the spring and release sockets. When the two sockets are spaced apart, the bellows expansion joint is in the rest (non-stressed) position. When the release socket is driven closer to the spring socket, a stress is exerted on the bellows expansion joint (6, 7). This helps to force back the release socket. By this structure, improvements are shown in the vibration resistance and, at the same time, in the watertightness of the plug of a push-pull connector.

Abstract: A shorting contact support for a plug-in projection (5c) in an igniter receptacle, comprising a first shorting bridge (30a) having two resilient contact elements (35a, 36a) connected to one another by an edge (37) of a metal plate (31), and a support housing (9) having an annular base (2) on which two diametrically opposite wings (3, 4) are integrally formed parallel to the insertion direction and form a holder (5) for a plug (6) having sockets (51, 52) for the insertion of contact pins (21, 22) on an igniter receptacle (20). The shorting contact support has a second shorting bridge (30b) which is essentially identical to the first shorting bridge (30a), each wing (3, 4) containing a shorting bridge (30a, 30b), so that at least one bridge (30a, 30b) shorts the two contact pins (21, 22) arranged in one plane on the igniter receptacle (20) when the plug (6) is inserted. In addition, the holder (5) is rotationally symmetrical through 180°.
