  • Patent number: 10530097
    Abstract: A plug connection having: a plug connector with, arranged thereon, a first coding element with a coding pattern and an insertion location with, arranged thereon, a second coding element with a coding pattern that matches the coding pattern, wherein the plug connector can be inserted, in an insertion direction (S), into the insertion location as far as a coupling position, when the first coding element and the second coding element adopt a predefined relative position. The first coding element can be rotated on the plug connector about an axis of rotation (A) that runs parallel to the insertion direction (S), and/or the second coding element is held on the insertion location so as to be able to rotate about the axis of rotation (A).

  • Patent number: 10211568
    Abstract: A plug connector, in particular a high current plug, having a locking device for the play-free axial fixing of the plug connector with respect to a mating plug connector in a closed position coupled to the mating plug connector, wherein the locking device has a retaining element such as a latching clip to engage axially behind a locking projection on the mating plug connector in the closed position, and a mating pressure element which is located opposite the retaining element in such a way that the locking projection can be accommodated between the retaining element and the mating pressure element in the closed position. An actuating device for pressing on retaining element and/or mating pressure element is formed on the locking projection in a fixing position (II).

  • Patent number: 9281598
    Abstract: A contact element for making electrical contact with a contact area of a mating contact element, wherein a contact region forms at least two contact points, and wherein the two contact points are distinguished from one another in the new state in respect of the distance from the contact area of the mating contact element, so that, in the new state, a first of the contact points makes contact with the contact area and, after a defined amount of wear of the first contact point, the second contact point makes contact with the contact area.

  • Patent number: 7510433
    Abstract: A coaxial plug connector having a housing produced from an electrically insulating material, which is open at a plug end so that a mating coaxial plug connector can be inserted. An insertion area for the mating housing is provided. At a coaxial cable end, the housing has an axial opening for coaxial cable insertion. Inside the housing, an internal and external conductor elements for electrically connecting internal and external conductors of the coaxial cable, respectively, are provided. A snap-in mechanism is configured on the housing to fix the external conductor element in the housing in at least the axial direction. A sealing sleeve completely surrounds the external conductor element in the circumferential direction, and in the axial direction in at least an area that extends from a part of the housing at the coaxial cable end to the insertion area for the mating housing at the plug end.
