  • Patent number: 6290525
    Abstract: A plug connector has a male plug part, connected to an electric connecting cable and having contact elements, and a female plug part with matching counter contact elements providing electric contact in a contact position established when the male plug part is inserted into the female plug part. The female plug part has a sleeve-shaped housing having an inner circumferential surface with a locking edge. The male plug part has a locking sleeve and an outer sleeve axially slipped onto the locking sleeve. The outer sleeve has locking tabs engaging the locking edge in the contact position. The locking sleeve has several tongue-shaped thickened portions distributed circumferentially that have radially outwardly positioned cone-shaped locking surfaces. The locking tabs are spaced circumferentially from one another by a spacing that allows the thickened portions to pass between the locking tabs when the outer sleeve is slipped onto the locking sleeve.

  • Patent number: 5868582
    Abstract: An improved contact device uses a connector module (1) of U-shaped cross-section to electrically connect a liquid crystal display or other flat panel (4) with edge contacts to a printed circuit board (7). Lower cost and reduced profile height are achieved in that the contact elements (6) of the connector module are in direct electrical contact with corresponding conductors on the printed circuit board, and the topside of the connector module is lined with a soft elastomer layer (12).

  • Patent number: 5356315
    Abstract: A modular connector system includes at least one connector frame composed of a plurality of frame members which can be connected to each other, preferably by means of screws. A plurality of insulating members are secured in the connector frame. Each insulating member has two outer contact surfaces which extend approximately parallel to each other. A plurality of insulating members are arranged next to each other in a row with the outer contact surfaces resting against each other. Each insulating member also has at least two outer holding surfaces which extend transversely of the contact surfaces and are provided with holding projections. The distances between the holding surfaces of all insulating members are equal. The outer holding surfaces are engaged by two of the frame members of the connector frame which extend parallel to each other, such that a movement of the insulating members transversely of the plane of the connector frame is excluded.
