Abstract: The invention relates to a plug-and-socket connector element (10) comprising a base body (12) in which at least one plug contact (16) is arranged, with the at least one plug contact (16) permitting an insertion of an electric feed line (62) in an axial direction from the rear end of the at least one plug contact (16), and a fitting part (14) which is preferably movable in an axial direction with respect to the base body (12) which at the rear end permits a lateral access to the at least one plug contact (16) in a first latch position and, in a second latch position, laterally covers the at least one plug contact (16) at least partially.
Abstract: A connector of an electric connector coupling has a guide sleeve and at least one engagement element that can be moved between a locking position and a releasing position, as well as a gripping sleeve which, in a first position locks the at least one engagement element in its locking position, and in a second position allows the at least one engagement element to be moved into its releasing position. The connector has been further developed in that the gripping sleeve is capable of occupying a third position, wherein the at least one engagement element is urged with a predetermined force into its locking position. Moreover, an electric connector coupling has such a connector and a matching coupler. The connector can be easily pushed onto the coupler and be pulled off therefrom, and is securely held on the coupler in its fitted state.
Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for a cable having at least one wire and one screening which surrounds the wire, and also a housing in which an insulator with at least one electrical contact and a screening contact which contacts the housing are arranged, the screening contact producing an electrically conductive connection between the housing and the screening of the cable. The screening contact is resilient in the radial and/or axial direction and contacts the inside wall of the housing.

Abstract: A connector pair with a plug (1) and a receptacle (1'), each of which comprises at least one contact insert (7, 7') in which at least one contact (9, 9') is arranged, whereby free ends (13, 13') of the housings (3, 3') can be joined in such a manner that the free end (13) of the other housing (3) projects into the open inner space (14') on the face of the one housing (3') and the contacts (9, 9') of the plug (1) and the receptacle (1') come into engagement with each other, is adapted such that in the area of the free end (13) at least one recess (17) is provided in an outer wall of the one housing (3), in the area of the free end (13') of the other housing (3') at least one engaging element (20) corresponding to the recess (18) is provided, which in a first position projects into the inner space (14') of the other housing (3') and in a second position clears the inner space (14') of the other housing (3'), and that a sleeve (30) surrounding the free end (13') is arranged, which in a rest position urges the en
