  • Patent number: 11600955
    Abstract: A plug-in connector for a two- or multi-wire cable includes a male and female contact. The male and female contacts are configured to be coupled to first and second wires, respectively, and are elongated in a plug-in direction. A carrier element is configured to position and receive the male and female contacts in first and second receiving spaces, respectively, each at a predefined angle with respect to the plug-in direction, and to electrically insulate the male and female contacts from one another. A shielding element includes first and second channels for receiving the first and second wires, respectively. The channels each penetrate the shielding element from its end located counter to the plug-in direction to its end located in the plug-in direction. The shielding element comprises an electrically conducting material, and is arranged at an end of the carrier element located counter to the plug-in direction.

  • Patent number: 11404832
    Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting a cable to an electrical component includes a plug unit and a mating plug unit, which each have an outer conductor element, an insulator element and an inner conductor element. The insulator element is disposed within the outer conductor element and includes an inner conductor channel in which the inner conductor element is disposed. The insulator element of the plug unit forms a plug profile that extends around the inner conductor channel and has at least one projection and/or depression. The insulator element of the mating plug unit forms a mating plug profile that corresponds to a negative of the plug profile. The plug unit and the mating plug unit are connectable to one another in such a way that the plug profile and the mating plug profile rest against each other, at least in some areas.

  • Patent number: 11171456
    Abstract: An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes at least two cable-side electrical contact elements, including associated terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable, and at least two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection is establishable to a mating connector. A carrier body is disposed between the cable-side electrical contact elements and the output-side electrical contact elements. The cable-side electrical contact elements, the output-side electrical contact elements and the carrier body are disposed in a spaced-apart relationship to each other, and the cable-side and output-side contact elements are electrically connected to each other via an electrical device disposed on the carrier body.

  • Patent number: 10468836
    Abstract: An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes two cable-side electrical contact elements, including associated terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable, as well as two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection can be established to a mating connector. A carrier body is disposed between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements. The carrier body forms a support region which extends from a first connecting section to a second connecting section and with which both the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are in connection. At each of the two connecting sections, a respective supporting section of the carrier body extends from the support region in such a way that the support region and the two supporting sections form a ring-shaped circumferential structure.

At least two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection can be established to a mating connector. An electrically conductive carrier body is disposed between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements. The electrically conductive carrier body carries an electrical device by which the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements are electrically connected to each other. The electrical device is supported by the carrier body without any of the cable-side contact elements or the output-side contact elements being in electrical contact with the carrier body through the electrical device.

  • Patent number: 10124749
    Abstract: A cable includes a lead having at least one wire, and a connector having at least one contact and a liquid-tight dielectric housing. The at least one contact is electrically connected to the at least one wire such that an electric current is conductible from the at least one wire into the at least one contact. A temperature-sensitive measuring resistor is contained in the housing and is electrically connected to the at least one wire such that at least a portion of the electrical current that is conductible into the at least one contact flows through the measuring resistor. A metallic element is disposed on the housing and thermally connected to the measuring resistor.
