Patent number: 7766685Abstract: The present invention relates to a plug connector arrangement with a plug, having first catch arms arranged parallel to the plug-in direction and a secondary locking, as well as a mating plug with shoulders, behind which catch lugs engage in a final plugged-in position on the first catch arms. The secondary locking is released from a pre-catch position by the mating plug during the plug-in process and, on reaching its final catch position, is held back by the first catch arms until the catch lugs thereof are locked behind the shoulders of the mating plug.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2005Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: FCIInventors: Thomas Bernhard Pabst, Hans-Otto Geltsch, Olaf Hoernlein, Harald Pankau

Patent number: 6561832Abstract: An electrical connector plug comprising a connector housing (1) with at least a first locking element (7, 8, 44) that is rigid and a counter-connector housing (2) which is complementarily to the connector housing (1) with at least a second locking element that is resilient (15, 53) and a spring element (25,55) for increasing a spring force and together with the first and second locking elements (7, 8, 15, 44, 53) define an unstable swell point. Furthermore, during movement of the counter-connector housing (2) in the direction of insertion (F) into the connector housing (1), the first locking element (7, 8, 44) presses so strongly against the second locking element (15, 53), that the spring element (25, 55) located in the second locking element (15, 53) builds up a tension with the swell point being reached by using tension from the spring element (25, 55).Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Framatome Connectors InternationalInventors: Hans-Otto Geltsch, Rainer Schmidt
