Abstract: An electrical connecting structure having an electrical connector having an insulating connector housing that can be electroconductively connected to an electrical mating connector, which is permanently connected to an electrical unit, to permit the transmission of high currents. The connecting structure has a first and a second electrical line; these being adapted for transmitting a first phase angle and a second current at a first phase angle and at a second phase angle that is temporally offset therefrom. The first and second line have a corresponding first and second shield for protecting against electromagnetic interference. The first and second shield are detachably and electroconductively connectable to a corresponding third and fourth shield configured in the mating connector. The first and the second shield differ from one another and are electroconductively interconnected within the electrical connecting structure.

Abstract: A method and a device for producing a crimp are described. A crimp blank is plastically deformed by a forming tool. In particular when the forming tool is retracted, the force which the forming tool exerts on the crimp blank as well as the distance x by which the forming tool is displaced are measured. A change in the distance x between a position at maximum force Fmax and a position that for the first time is free from forces provides an indication of an elastic recovery, i.e., a spring-back, of the crimp blank. This indication represents a measure of the quality of the produced crimp.

Abstract: A multipole electrical plug connection remains functionally stable even under vibrational stresses, in particular during the operation of an internal combustion engine. The plug connection is formed by coupling a first connector to a second connector. Attached to a contact carrier as part of a housing of the first connector are a first pressing element and a second pressing element, via which the two connectors are radially and axially biased when both connectors are joined. As a result, relative movements between the contacted contact elements and contact parts situated in the fixed connectors are prevented. The plug connection is preferably intended for use in automobile manufacturing.
