  • Patent number: 11942749
    Abstract: A plug connection device for connecting an electrical cable and establishing a ground connection to an external component may have at least one plug connector and fastening means electrically and mechanically connectable therewith. The plug connector may have a housing and a plug body which is connectable to a conductor of the electrical cable and receivable in an axial direction in a receptacle of the housing. The contact element may plug into the housing to make electrical contact with the plug body received in the receptacle. The contact element and connection element are electrically connected to one another. The connection element may be connected to a ground cable that is connectable with the external component to establish, independently of the electrical cable, the ground connection with the external component via the plug body, contact element, connection part and the ground cable.

  • Publication number: 20230402778
    Abstract: An electrical plug-in connector for transmitting a differential signal between a first interface and a second interface comprises a first contact element and a second contact element. A longitudinal axis of the first and second contact element in a first longitudinal portion, at the interface, is oriented at a first angle (?1?) with respect to a second longitudinal portion of the contact elements at the second interface. A third longitudinal portion of the contact elements is between the first and second longitudinal portions, where at the contact elements are each bent, relative to a first axis of rotation that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axes in the first and second longitudinal portions, through a first angle of rotation ?1. In the third longitudinal portion the contact elements are each additionally bent through a second angle of rotation ?2.

  • Publication number: 20230216263
    Abstract: A method for assembling a cable connector which has an outer conductor part, and insulating part and an electrical cable that is prefabricated with an inner conductor part. In a first method step, the insulating part is introduced into the outer conductor part by relative movement between the insulating part and the outer conductor part. In a second method step, before or at least partially during the first method step, the electrical cable is prefabricated to have an inner conductor part secured on an inner conductor of the cable. In a third method step, during or after the first method step, the prefabricated cable is introduced into the insulating part up to a defined axial terminal position. The positions of the inner conductor part, the outer conductor part and/or the insulating part are fixed relative to each other by compressing the outer conductor part at least partly.
