Patent number: 9923307Abstract: It is proposed to design a retaining frame (1) for retaining plug-in connector modules (40) in such a way that retaining means (41) of the plug-in connector modules (40) can be retained in recesses (11) of the retaining frame (1) in a play-free manner. To this end, the retaining frame (1) is designed in two pieces, wherein a slot (2/3) between the two retaining frame pieces (2/3) extends through the recesses (11). By under-sizing the recesses (11) in relation to the dimension of the retaining means (41) of plug-in connector modules (40), a press-fit of the retaining means (41) in the recesses (11) is effected by the assembly of the retaining frame parts (2, 3).Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: HARTING ELECTRIC GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 9912095Abstract: The invention relates to an environmentally sealed plug-in connector housing formed from a base body (2) having a fastening flange (10) molded thereon. The fastening flange (10) is associated with a sealing element (20) that is compressed in a sealing manner between the fastening flange (10) and an assembly surface (3). In order to ensure the sealing of fastening bores (11) provided in the fastening flange (10), sealing sleeves (21) are molded onto the sealing element (20), which sealing sleeves extend into the fastening bores (11) and at least completely pass through the latter. A fastening screw inserted into a fastening bore (11) can in this way seal with its screw head the fastening bore (11) by means of the sealing sleeve (21) that is compressed by the screw head.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: HARTING ELECTRIC GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20170229807Abstract: A plug connector housing has a connection opening for connecting the plug connector housing to a counter plug. A protective layer at least partly covers the plug connector housing, a seal lip on the connection opening protects the interior of the plug connector housing when connecting a counter plug, and a stabilizing collar, which protrudes from a wall of the plug connector housing, stabilizes the seal lip. In order to allow the plug connector housing to be easily coated and provided with a seal while preventing the formation of air pockets in the cavities of the injection molding tool, the stabilizing collar has at least one recess.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2015Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Andreas NASS, Thomas HEIMANN, Thomas BEISCHER
