  • Publication number: 20230387628
    Abstract: A high-voltage plug assembly includes a stationary first plug and a second plug that is movable along a connecting direction of the plugs. The plugs have mutually complementary plug contact elements. The second plug further has connection lines connected to its plug contact elements. An outlet direction of the connection lines extends perpendicular to the connecting direction. The second plug further has a position-securing element (PSE) that is displaceable along a displacement direction perpendicular to the connecting direction and that mechanically locks the plugs together when the plugs are connected while the PSE is displaced to a slide position. The PSE includes pairs of pins whose longitudinal axes are oriented in the PSE displacement direction and which are situated in pairs one behind the other in the PSE displacement direction. In the slide position in which the plugs are locked together, the pins respectively engage recesses of the plugs.

  • Patent number: 11699877
    Abstract: A plug connector assembly includes first and second connector housings, a rotary lever, and a slide. The rotary lever has side faces each having a guide path into which in each case a guide pin on the second connector housing is inserted and is displaced along the guide path by rotation of the rotary lever whereby the connector housings move toward one another and electrical contact elements thereof connect. The slide is movable on the second plug connector housing. A driver element of the rotary lever cooperates in a form-fit manner with a driver element of the slide when the rotary lever rotates causing the slide to linearly move. A locking element of the slide is displaced relative to a locking element of the first connector housing when the slide linearly moves whereby a form-fit locking action between the locking elements may be established or cancelled.
