Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical pin-and-socket connector for use between a socket and an electrical control device for a retention system in motor vehicles with a secondary latching device that blocks the connector in a preassembled state in such a way that at first the insertion of the connector in the socket is prevented and only through pressure on the secondary latching device in the insertion direction is the insertion of the connector in the socket facilitated.

Abstract: A connector including a plurality of receptacles located in a housing, and a primary interlock for engaging a contact plug pluggable into the receptacles. A secondary interlock is moveable between a full catch position and a half-catch position with respect to the housing. A seal is provided for sealing the secondary interlock relative to the housing. The secondary interlock moves relative to the seal while maintaining a seal from the half-catch position into the full catch position of the secondary interlock.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical pin-and-socket connector, in particular for use between a socket (primer) and an electrical control unit for a retention system in motor vehicles, which provides for the locking of the pin-and-socket connector with a long-lasting connecting and engaging and disengaging ability in its locked position, to a great extent tension-free.

Abstract: The invention concerns a plug-in system with an electrical pin-and-socket connector and a plug-in base for the frictional connection of the electrical pin-and-socket connector with the plug-in base during the contact of a connector of the plug-in base with a socket of the electrical pin-and-socket connector, whereby to increase the connection safety and ease of operation in connection while maintaining low production costs a latching of a latch of the plug-in base casing with a locking joint bar of the pin-and-socket casing is achieved by means of a secondary latching device guided on an outer contour of the pin-and-socket connector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing an electrical connector jack and to an electrical connector jack which is made as a radial contact jack and which has several longitudinal contact elements for making contact with a plug, and a sleeve which surrounds the longitudinal contact elements. To prevent contact resistance and for purposes of more economical production, the longitudinal contact elements and the sleeve are made integrally.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical connector for use between a socket and an electrical control device for a restraint system in motor vehicles. The connector includes a case having contact elements for electrical connection with contact elements of the socket. The case also includes a locking element with at least on extension that engages a spring stop device on the case when the locking element is inserted in the case. The spring stop device is pivotable into a release position through a sliding action.

Abstract: The invention concerns a contact safety device for pin-and-socket connectors with an inserted state and a preassembled state, in which a safety mechanism is provided in the contact safety device to secure ignition contacts of the primer against interference and that safety mechanism comes into contact with a shorting bar in such a way that when/after the shorting bar is separated, the safety mechanism automatically goes into operation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a contact safety device for pin-and-socket connectors that is suited for use between a primer for airbags and a control unit of a motor vehicle, whereby a protective element in the contact safety device is provided to prevent spurious releases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuse for high-current applications, especially in the automobile area, comprising a conducting element which has two connecting regions and an interposed fuse region, and a housing to protect the fuse region and the connecting regions wherein at least one interface is constructed in one piece with the conducting element to save assembly steps.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical pin-and-socket connector, particularly for use between a socket (primer capsule) and an electrical control device for a restraint system in motor vehicles, for example for an air bag.

Abstract: A filtered electrical connector with ferrite block combinations and a filter assembly therefor are disclosed. More particularly, the filtered electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least two terminals each having a cable contact area for conductively attaching cables for conducting a signal to be filtered and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The filtered electrical connector also includes a filter assembly which comprises at least two generally cylindrical ferrite bodies positioned on a common axis, the terminals extending into or passing through the filter assembly.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical plug connector with a housing having a housing body and a trunk projecting therefrom for receiving electrically connected contact elements for establishing contact with corresponding contact portions of an associated receptacle as well as with spring-acting catch arms on the trunk for making the housing fast in corresponding recesses of the receptacle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector comprising a first insulating body, and first contact elements supported by said first insulating body, said first insulating body comprising: at least one guiding or catching area having a perimeter defining and limiting said catching area, said catching area being adapted to assure that even for a certain amount of misalignment between said first connector and a second connector supporting second contact elements and adapted to be coupled to said first connector a proper engagement and connection of said first and second, contact elements occurs, thus forming a connector system due to the fact that said guide means provided on said second connector cooperate with said catching area, and guide said first and second connectors into engagement wherein the outer perimeter of said catching area has the shape of one of a square and a rectangle.

Abstract: Smart-card connector (1) having a contact element support (11) within which contact elements are supported. A cover (12) is pivotably mounted at the contact element support (11). A cam (50) is provided at said cover (12) so as to bearing means (48) of the cover out of the pivot location at the contact element support in case the cover is improperly operated.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical plug connector, in particular for use between a receptacle (ignitor) and an electrical control device for a restraint system in motor vehicles, by way of example an air bag.

Abstract: A filtered electrical connector with ferrite block combinations and a filter assembly is used for filtering of electrical signals. The filtered electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least two terminals each having a cable contact area for conductively attaching cables for conducting a signal to be filtered, and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The filtered electrical connector also includes a filter assembly which comprises at least two generally cylindrical ferrite bodies positioned on a common axis, wherein the terminals extend into or pass through the filter assembly.

Abstract: An electrical connector with a static discharge feature is disclosed. More particularly, the electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least one terminal in the connector housing, the terminal having a cable contact area for conductively attaching a cable for conducting an electrical signal and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The electrical connector further includes a conductive insert, a portion of which is exposed to the outside and covers an opening formed in the connector housing, said opening being located at a position between the terminal and the conductive insert, thereby forming an air gap between the conductive insert and the terminal.
