  • Patent number: 10050381
    Abstract: A plug connector part includes a housing having first and second housing parts. The housing parts are joined together parallel to a plug contact insertion direction. The housing parts have lateral surfaces which face one another when the housing parts are joined together. The housing parts have parallel grooves at their lateral surfaces. The grooves form plug contact receiving channels when the housing parts are joined together. The plug contacts have lances which engage projections of the receiving channels when the plug contacts are fully received within the receiving channels. The first housing part includes spring tongues along the grooves of the first housing part for fixing the plug contacts within the receiving channels. The spring tongues have tab-like sections which extend into the receiving channels and engage the plug contacts to fix the plug contacts within the receiving channels in a form-fit manner.

  • Patent number: 9692179
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first plug connector housing in which a first plug contact is arranged, a second plug connector housing, and a seal. The second connector housing includes a protective enclosure, a contact carrier insert in which a second plug contact is fixedly arranged, and a lever. The protective enclosure and the contact carrier insert are movable relative to one another. While the contact carrier insert is connected to the first connector housing with the first and second plug contacts being joined together the protective enclosure moves relative to the contact carrier insert in a direction toward the first connector housing during an actuation of the force-amplifying means to compress the seal between the protective enclosure, the contact carrier insert, and the first connector housing.
