  • Patent number: 7137845
    Abstract: A plug connector consisting of a female plug and a male plug comprises a plurality of signal contacts that are combined into an assembly, and a plurality of power contacts that likewise are combined into an assembly. The power contact assembly has a housing provided with insulation piercing contacts, as well as a cable guide that includes a cable receiving opening and is pivotally provided on the housing, so that it can swivel between an open position in which a cable can be pushed into the cable receiving opening, and a closed position in which the cable is forced into the insulation piercing contact.

  • Patent number: 7101225
    Abstract: A shielded high-density edge connector comprises a metallic connector housing for accommodating several adjacently arranged segments with electric contacts held therein. The number of contacts between the mating side and the terminal side of the edge connector can be reduced by providing the contacts within the segments and the connector housing.

  • Patent number: 7081002
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a separable plug connection, particularly for rectangular connectors that are composed of a shielding metal housing, a connector insert and an insulating sleeve that encompasses the metal housing, as well as a correspondingly designed mating connector. The invention proposes to arrange the encompassing sleeve in a displaceable fashion, wherein metal locking levers arranged on the metal housing are guided into a slot within the sleeve in such a way that the free ends of the metal locking levers are pressed part during a sliding movement of the sleeve. When the connector and the corresponding mating connector are connected and interlocked, this causes hooks integrally arranged on the metal locking levers to be levered out of opening arranged on the mating connector such that the locking device is released. The hooks engage into the openings when the plug connection needs to be interlocked.

  • Patent number: 6955557
    Abstract: A connector with insulation displacement contacts for connecting electric conductors, in which the insulation displacement contacts are held in a carrier body and the electric conductors are guided in conductor guide channels of a conductor guide component. When the carrier body and conductor guide component are joined together the electric conductors are contacted by the insulation displacement contacts. The carrier body and conductor guide component are joined by means of an assembly tool constructed as a half-shell housing, in which bevels are provided which cooperate with bevels on the conductor guide component, so when the carrier body and the conductor guide component are pressed together in the half-shell housing, the carrier body and conductor guide component are pressed together by mutual displacement on the bevels.
