Patent number: 11611174Abstract: On a round plug, outwardly directed detent hooks are arranged between a plug-in region and a contact carrier portion of an insulating body or a base portion of the round plug housing. A mating connector has, on a plug-in side of a threaded portion, an inwardly directed circumferential or interrupted detent lug. The detent arms do not need to reach through the threaded portion. The detent arms can therefore be made particularly strong, and the inner thread can be continuous. The retaining forces of the locking/screwing are thus very high, and the detent arms for example can be integrally molded on a plastic insulation body, and thus be formed in one piece therewith, for simplified production. Operation and manufacture are significantly simplified.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: HARTING Electronics GmbHInventor: Martin Lückemeier

Patent number: 10978830Abstract: A compact design for a push-pull latching system for a rectangular plug includes at least one locking and releasing element (11) which is held against a broad side of a plug housing in such a way that the locking and releasing element can be moved parallel to the broad side of the plug housing (1). The locking and releasing element (11) can be formed integrally with the plug housing (1) from an elastic plastic and can have a plurality of locking arms (111) having locking hooks (113). The movement necessary for releasing is then inversely proportional to the number of locking arms (111); the elasticity is also determined by the shape of the locking arms, in particular the width of the locking arms.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: HARTING Electronics GmbHInventor: Sergej Hämmerling

Patent number: 10763623Abstract: An arrangement of an annular shielding element (1) comprises inwardly and outwardly pointing tabs (11, 12) on an insulating body (2) of a printed circuit board connector, for improving the electrical conductivity of both the earth connection between a plug connector housing (4)/device housing and a cruciform shield (31) of the insulating body (2)/a printed circuit board (5) associated therewith. The shielding element (1) can be designed as a stamped and bent part and can be formed from a resilient metal sheet. The invention significantly reduces the amount of force required to plug on the plug connector housing (4).
