Abstract: A plug-type connector has a plug-type socket, a contact holder fittable in the plug-type socket, and a cover shell engaged around the contact holder and fittable with the plug-type socket. Latch formations on the cover shell and on the contact holder secure the holder and shell together in a prelatched position with the holder only partially fitted in the shell. Thus, when the holder is fitted in the socket, the shell is to the socket and the holder is shifted in the shell into a final position fully inserted in the shell.

Abstract: A wire having a conductive core surrounded by an insulation sheath is fitted to an electrical connector having a housing formed with a longitudinally extending passage and a contact part in the passage. The contact part has a front end having pair of sides adapted to flank a contact pin engaged in the passage and a rear end adapted to grip the wire with a stripped end of the conductive core extending in the front end between the sides thereof alongside the pin. An anchor lug on one of the sides engages an inner surface of the passage and retains the contact part therein. A biasing element braced between the conductive core and an opposite inner surface of the passage presses the conductive core transversely against the pin.

Abstract: A wire having a conductive core surrounded by an insulation sheath if fitted to an electrical connector having a housing formed with a passage receiving the wire and having an end region surrounding a stripped end of the wire where the conductor is exposed and an intermediate region surround an adjacent portion of the sheath of the wire. An element in the intermediate region fixed to the sheath secures the wire in the housing against any movement relative thereto.

Abstract: A device for ABS-integrated brake pad wear indication in a motor vehicle in which all line paths are constructed to avoid current loops and induction surfaces. All the wheel speed and pad wear signal lines respectively lead to the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit in a single strand or are combined at least via common fixings, grommets, intermediate connecting plugs and a single terminal connecting plug. Owing to coding of different warning signals for, e.g., ABS, ASR and brake pad wear, the signal connection between the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit and the instrument cluster in the dashboard is reduced to a single line.
