  • Patent number: 10587078
    Abstract: A plug connector which has a main body, an actuator, a latch, and a block. The latch locks a receptacle of a counterpart plug connector by a push-pull mechanism. The latch can be released by actuation of the actuator. The block prevents the latch from moving into a locking position, in the unplugged state of the connector, i.e. without the seated receptacle. Thus, the connector can adopt two static states, an open state and a closed state.

  • Publication number: 20200076121
    Abstract: A plug housing comprises at least one leaf spring element in a cable duct, which has a central part and a respective first and second lateral part which are bent in relation to said central part. The first lateral part is elastically bent via a first bending edge and the second lateral part is elastically bent via an opposing second bending edge on the central part. The central part extends substantially parallel to the cable duct. In relation to the central part, the first and the second lateral part adopt a respective variable acute angle and a variable respective height. The first and second lateral part narrow the cable duct such that, in an assembled state, a respective end section of the first and second lateral part press against the cable with a respective elastic force and thereby bring about the strain- and pressure-resistant securing of the cable.
