Abstract: A coupling with two sleeves facing in opposite directions for the plugs of two shielded data cables that are to be connected to each other is in particular configured as an RJ 45 coupling. A printed circuit board (10) carries a contact assembly for each of the sleeves and connects the corresponding contacts (12) with each other. Two partial shells (14) made of an electrically insulating material envelop and hold the printed circuit board (10). An electrically conductive housing (40) is essentially U-shaped, with its longitudinal axis extending in the plug-in direction of the sleeves. The partial shells (14), together with the printed circuit board (10) they envelop, are insertable in the housing (40) as modules and can be attached firmly in the housing (40). An electrically conductive sheet metal cover (60) covers the modules on the open side of the housing (40) and engages with molded contacting prongs (62) in the sleeves for the purpose of contacting the shields of the plugs inserted into the sleeves.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical socket with a housing, which has a plug compartment for inserting a coupling plug, and with a number of contact springs, which are disposed side by side in a row in the plug compartment, form a row of contact springs and can be contacted by associated plug contacts of the coupling plug, a stop which limits the deflection of the contact springs being associated in each case with the contact springs of the row of contact springs. In order to reduce the risk of damaging a contact spring or a stop, it is proposed according to the invention that the contact springs can be made to butt against the respective stop face-to-face over their entire length and that the stops are connected to one another in one piece and form a stop element, which has in each case between directly neighboring stops a clearance for receiving a retaining rib of the coupling plug disposed between neighboring plug contacts.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical socket with a housing, which has a space for inserting a connector and surrounds a contact module which comprises a number of electrical conductors and contact elements which can be contacted by associated plug contacts of the connector, two conductors respectively forming a pair of conductors.

Abstract: The invention relates to an overvoltage arrester for high-frequency lines comprising a coaxial line section with an inner conductor and an outer conductor, and a short-circuit conductor which branches off from the inner conductor and is electrically connected to the outer conductor. In order to design the overvoltage arrester such that it enables transmission of a supply voltage in a constructionally simple way and ensures reliable protection against electromagnetic interference pulses, it is proposed, in accordance with the invention, that the short-circuit conductor be connected to the outer conductor solely via an arrester configured as a varistor, with the varistor forming the only discrete electrically active element between the short-circuit conductor and the outer conductor.

Abstract: The buttons of the push-button unit disclosed are guided in the cover and provided with restoring springs. The contact springs of a row are cut free from a strip and pretensioned against the printed-circuit board lying under the strip. In the normal position, they are pulled against the cover by the button shafts. Located below the printed-circuit board is a slide which is actuated by all buttons and acts on the common contact.
