Patent number: 11916339Abstract: A contact carrier includes a carrier body receiving a plurality of contacts and a fastening element fastening the carrier body to a carrier element. The fastening element includes a first clamping element connected to the carrier body, a second clamping element formed on the carrier body in a shiftable manner and opposite the first clamping element, and a locking device locking the second clamping element in a position relative to the first clamping element. A distance between the first clamping element and the second clamping element can be varied by a relative movement of the second clamping element in relation to the first clamping element. The first clamping element and the second clamping element, by the locking device, exert a clamping force onto the carrier element arranged between the first clamping element and the second clamping element to hold the carrier element.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Carsten Buck, Maximilian Veihl

Publication number: 20220376435Abstract: A plug connector pluggable together with a counter connector includes a connector housing having a guiding member and a lever device. The lever device has a lever transferrable from a plug position to a securing position, a coupling that is movable by the lever to engage the counter connector, and a lever extension attached to the lever and extendable and/or retractable with respect to the lever. A swivel movement of the lever out of the securing position is blocked by the lever extension retracted with respect to the lever. The guiding member blocks a shifting of the lever extension if the lever is moved out of the plug position and is not in the securing position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Carsten Buck, Michael Schall

Patent number: 9391397Abstract: The invention relates to a plug type connector, a counter-connector and a plug type connector arrangement. In order to protect a contact position (P) of the plug type connector against undesirable displacement relative to the counter-connector of the plug type connector arrangement, without undesirable forces occurring, there is provision according to the invention for the plug type connector and the counter-connector to have clamping faces which extend transversely relative to a connection direction (V) and which are clamped to each other via a fixing means.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Rolf Jetter, Carsten Buck

Patent number: 8777640Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector with an electrically insulating contact carrier and with at least one electrically conducting contact element which is held in the contact carrier. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for manufacturing a connector of this type. Changes in dimension in the geometry of the contact carrier and also fluctuations in spacing and geometry in the enclosing shielding cause impedance inhomogeneities in the signal propagation direction that adversely influence the signal quality. Furthermore, it may be necessary to purposefully set the impedance so as to differ from the nominal impedance.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Carsten Buck, Torsten Sieler, Gregor Karrasch
