Abstract: A connector for a ribbon cable is described having two part plates which are preferably connected to one another via a connection piece. The part plates are therefore preferably integral in design. In the region of the connection piece there are contact slots made in the part plates. Preferably the part plates can be produced in the form of continuous plates and cut as required into the desired width from the continuous ribbon. For assembling the connector a ribbon cable is inserted between the part plates and subsequently the part plates are folded on to one another by means of a simple folding operation and preferably permanently connected to one another by fastening elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector for making an electrical connection with a battery terminal. The plug connector comprises a housing formed by joining an upper shell and a lower shell with a contact lying within the housing. The contact has a helical spring contact and a contact strip bent to form a cylindrical region. The upper shell and the lower shell each have a holding element extending within the cylindrical region formed by the contact strip, in order to form a recess for holding the helical spring contact.

Abstract: A connector for a ribbon cable includes a housing having a ribbon cable receiving region extending between a front surface and a back surface of the housing. A ribbon cable disposed in the ribbon cable receiving region. The ribbon cable has contact sections arranged at the back surface of the housing. Retention clips arranged on the back surface of the housing that receive a portion of the ribbon cable. The retention clips are arranged at a fixed spacing such that the contact sections of the ribbon cable are accessible between each of the retention clips for receiving contact elements.

Abstract: A pluggable connection housing (1) with a boot (2) has at least one contact passageway (7, 8) having plug-in apertures (5, 6) at its two ends. Respective ends of male and female members arranged on cables can be arranged therein and produce a pluggable connection. The book (2) can be at least partially detachably fastened to the pluggable connection housing (1). In order to simplify construction and handling of pluggable connection housing (1) and boot (2) and, at the same time, to allow more ways of arranging the boot (2) relative to the pluggable connection housing (1), the boot (2) is substantially tubular and has a peripheral undercut at least in certain places in the peripheral direction at one plug-in end, which undercut engages with at least one undercut element (12) arrange in the plug-in aperture (5, 6) in the plugged-in position (13) of the plug-in end (9).

Abstract: A connector assembly has at least one base housing accommodating a number of pin-type contacts and one pressure plate housing, which may be mounted on a connecting end of the base housing and which may be latched together therewith at least in the mounted position. Each contact is inserted releasably into a longitudinal chamber in the base housing and comprises an insulation displacement end, a contact end opposite thereto and a central zone arranged between said ends.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical pin contact, (1, 32, 56), having a connecting part (2) and a connector tongue (4) together with a locking part (3, 33, 57). A separate locking spring (14, 34, 58), is provided which is inserted into the locking part (3, 33, 57) perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the contact (1, 32, 56). Particularly simple mounting of the locking spring (14, 34, 48) is achieved in that the latter has latching means, which fix the locking spring (14, 34, 58) in position in the locking part (3, 33, 57) through insertion of the locking spring into the locking part (3, 33, 57).

Abstract: A connector for receiving terminals therein that includes a terminal block having outer side walls and opposing end walls, wherein terminal receiving passageways extend between the opposing end walls for receiving a terminal, and a primary retention member is disposed along at least one of the terminal receiving passageways that includes a resilient retention arm that extends into the passageway to retain the terminal therein, where the primary retention member is particularly adapted to situations where the spacing between the wall and the passageway is relatively small.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector with a housing with a plurality of contact chambers arranged in at least one row, with contacts arranged in the contact chambers for making contact with a mating contact and with a hinged flap comprising projections which engage in the contact chambers in an end locking position of the flap and secure the contacts therein, wherein the flap can be introduced into an shaft bearing with a shaft perpendicular to the plug-in direction and is rotatably mounted there.

Abstract: A two-part electrical socket contact for insertion into a cavity of a housing the cavity having a flexible contact securing element, said contact being provided with a contact body comprising a contact making section for making contact with a complementary contact pin or contact blade, and a connecting section for making connection with an electrical conductor, the contact making section being provided with at least two facing contact springs, and an outer cantilever spring enveloping the contact making section of the contact body, the outer cantilever spring being basically of a box-shaped design comprising a top, a bottom and two sides, the top of the outer cantilever spring consisting of a lower and an upper layer with the upper layer running parallel but spaced apart from the lower layer, and being provided with an opening to accommodate the contact securing element and the edges of the upper layer being bent over at right angles towards the lower layer and with the upper layer being narrower in its width

Abstract: An electrical connector comprising a connector housing (2) having a plurality of terminal receiving passageways (12, 14) therethrough for receiving terminals therein and a secondary lock member (26, 28) having a first position where the terminals can be received within the passageway (12, 14) and a second position where the terminals would be prevented from being withdrawn therefrom, the electrical connector being characterized in that the secondary lock member (26, 28) includes a first stage (26) operatively coupled to a second stage (28) and the first stage (26) has a stroke between the first and second positions that is greater than the stroke associated with the second stage (28).

Abstract: A tab terminal comprises an inner contact body and an outer spring body having a locking lance. The outer body is mounted over the inner body in a vertical direction, whereby inwardly bent tabs of the inner contact body receive a side wall of the outer body, the other side wall of the outer body having a clinching tab that engages in a cutout of the inner contact body. The latter enables a very simple assembly procedure that reduces assembly time, tool complication, and therefore production costs.

Abstract: An airbag connector includes an insulating housing having a plurality of electrical terminals where the terminals include mating sections and wire terminating sections at, where the sections form a right angle with respect to one another. The terminals further include a lead receiving slot for a suppression device, such as a capacitor or resistor. A housing can be connected directly with the igniter and has a shunt which shunts the igniter pins when in the unmated version.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes passageways for receiving electrical terminal contacts. The electrical terminals are primarily locked in their cavities by way of locking lances on electrical terminals engaging with locking shoulders in respective passageways. The electrical terminals are secondarily locked in their passageways by way of a locking member which has first and second latching elements positioned along straps, the latching elements providing a first latching position on rails and the second elements providing a second fully locked position. The locking member is axially slidable rearwardly to a position where locking members are positioned above respective openings and the secondary lock member can be pushed downwardly such that the locking members are positioned behind the electrical terminals for secondary locking.
