  • Patent number: 7618278
    Abstract: A plug-in connection has a housing having a pair of spaced sides between which can fit a plug or socket. Each side is formed with an aperture with the apertures aligned transversely with each other. The housing further having a latch element and a locking element. A pair of spaced side walls are fixed to and project outward from one of the sides of the housing. The aperture of the one side of the housing is between the side walls, and the aperture on the other side of the housing is at least as large as the aperture of the one side. A cover bridges the side walls and forms therewith a recess adapted to receive the locking element movable therein. The cover and side walls at least almost completely enclose the latch element and locking element and are almost completely enclosed in an end region of the recess.

  • Patent number: 7497708
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a dielectric body having longitudinally opposite inner and outer faces and formed with a central cavity opening longitudinally outward at the outer face and a pair of side cavities flanking the central cavity and also opening longitudinally outward at the outer face, respective stiff contacts fixed in the side cavities and each having an outer end projecting longitudinally outward from the respective side cavity past the outer face, an elastically deformable generally U-shaped bridge clip having a bight in the central cavity and a pair of generally longitudinally extending arms each having an outer end projecting longitudinally outward from the central cavity past the outer face, each of the arm outer ends bearing transversely on a respective one of the contact outer ends in an uncoupled position of the connector. The bight is held in the cavity to retain the clip therein against longitudinal movement.
