  • Two-part crimp contact element
    Patent number: 9502783
    Abstract: The invention relates to a two-part crimped contact element. The invention further relates to a method for producing a two-part crimped contact element. The invention further relates to a device for producing a two-part crimped contact element. Previous crimped contact elements comprising two portions have a high transition resistance between the two portions and insufficient mechanical stability. The crimped contact element according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages by at least one pressure-shaped connection element being used to connect the two portions.

  • Press-Fit Pin For Electrical Contacts Made From Wire Material
    Publication number: 20080119093
    Abstract: The invention relates to a press-fit pin (1) made from wire material for electrical contacts, in particular plug-in connectors. When using press-fit pins (1) made from wire material the problem of the tips (23) of the press-fit pins (1) being damaged by the press-fit tool has previously occurred. To be able to support a tool on press-fit pins (1) made from wire material without the tips (23) being damaged the press-fit pin (1) made from wire material is provided according to the invention with a shoulder element (3).
