  • Patent number: 10707634
    Abstract: A method for producing a soldered connection between at least two components is provided, in which the components are heated for melting a solder in a soldering area. The heating of the soldering area and/or the supply of solder to the soldering area is realized depending on the temperature which is determined by non-contact detection of heat radiation emitted from at least one temperature measurement zone of one of the components. In order to improve the method such that the emissivity of the at least one temperature measurement zone can be increased with high process reliability and with at most a slight adverse effect on the electrical connection between the electrical components, it is proposed that the at least one temperature measurement zone be locally heated for increasing its emissivity. Furthermore, an electrical plug-in connector for producing a soldered connection and use of such a plug-in connector are proposed.

  • Patent number: 8905782
    Abstract: A bending coaxial electrical connector has a center terminal, a dielectric body and an outer conductor wherein the cover section of the outer conductor is provided with a protrusion projecting to the tubular section by means of which a corresponding bump is stamped out from the dielectric body which is then pressed against a center conductor of the coaxial cable disposed on the connecting section so as to form a secure connection between the center conductor of the coaxial cable and the connecting section of the center terminal of the coaxial electrical connector. The electrical connector is advantageous in that the various structures described above can firmly maintain the center conductor at a predetermined position on the center terminal, so the consistency and stability of the characteristic impedance of the connection is achieved.
