  • Patent number: 6113420
    Abstract: A tension-relieving assembly for electrical and/or optical conductors of a cable, wherein the conductors, which are guided in parallel in the cable, are held in a cable-guiding part and are inserted in conductor-guiding ducts in a conductor-guiding part, and wherein the axes of the conductors in the cable-guiding part and in the conductor-guiding part are offset relative to one another. The conductor-guiding part is provided, at the lead-in end for the conductors, with an annular collar, and a central peg is disposed in the annular collar. The cable-guiding part is constructed, at the conductor exit end, with a stepped recess, such that when the cable-guiding part and conductor-guiding part are joined together, the central peg is pressed between the conductors and forces the conductors outwards against the inner contour of the stepped recess in the cable-guiding part.

  • Patent number: 6004162
    Abstract: For a holding frame for holding plug connector modules and for installation in plug connector casings or for screwing onto wall surfaces, the plug connector modules being inserted in the holding frame and holding means on the plug connector modules interacting with recesses provided on opposite wall parts (side parts) of the holding frame, it is proposed that the holding frame be constructed from two halves connected to one another in an articulated manner and that the recesses for holding the plug connector modules be constructed, in the side parts of the holding frame, as openings which are closed all round. Under these circumstances, the holding frame is unfolded for the purpose of inserting the plug connector modules and is then closed, the plug connector modules then being held in a form-locking manner in the holding frame via the holding means.

  • Patent number: 5930426
    Abstract: For a connector, preferably a connector for optical waveguides, which is arranged jointly with electrical connectors on a printed board which can be plugged into a rack, it is proposed to equalize the tolerances in the direction of insertion defined by the electrical connectors in that the connector half for optical waveguides arranged in the rack has a plug-in part latched and held in a carrier body and that when the connector halves are assembled this latching is released and a latching with the connector half of the printed board takes place, wherein by means of the released latching with the carrier body the plug-in part is held therein in a displaceable manner.

  • Patent number: 5919066
    Abstract: For a connector for high currents, in order to reduce the volume resistance it is proposed to provide the front end of the contact pin with spring tongues and to form the rear end of the contact socket as a rigid, essentially inflexible socket. Front spring tongues of the contact socket act on the solid part of the contact pin, and the spring tongues of the contact pin act against the wall of the rear end of the contact socket.

  • Patent number: 5899764
    Abstract: For a switch connector with contact elements disposed in contact cavities of an insulator body, with contact elements with at least one spring-elastic arm in the contact cavities, and in which contact blades of a corresponding mating connector can be inserted in the contact cavities and thus make contact with the contact elements and in which there is provided at least one shorting jumper which short-circuits two contact elements in the absence of an inserted mating connector, the short circuit being broken when the blade contacts are inserted in the contact cavities, it is proposed that the shorting jumper is designed as a rigid contact part and has at least one contact limb which is disposed between the contact spring limbs of the contact elements and that in the contact cavities there is a switching element provided with a switching spring limb, the switching spring limb acting on the contact spring limb of the contact element in such a way that the latter is displaced until the switching spring limb bears
