Abstract: A sealing element for sealing a strand-shaped body in an aperture of a wall, in particular for sealing a loom of cables in an aperture of a vehicle-body sheet, has a bush through which the strand-shaped body is guided. The bush has a circumferential wall bounding a cavity. A clamping element for clamping the bush against the aperture reaches with an extension into the cavity. The extension and/or the cavity are of a conical configuration such that, during clamping with the clamping element, the extension is pressed into the cavity, and therefore the circumferential wall is clamped radially against the aperture in the region of the conical configuration.

Abstract: A fuse box for a vehicle contains a base box having a housing in which a first bus bar with a battery connection terminal is disposed. The fuse box is configured according to a modular system. For this purpose, the housing is provided for the attachment of an extension box. The extension box preferably has a second bus bar that is placed in contact with the first bus bar. As a result of the modular system with the extension box, it is possible, for example, to allow for extensions in a vehicle on-board power system with little expenditure in respect of the fuse box.

Abstract: A pressure sensor includes an optical waveguide having an optical fiber with a refractive index n1, located in a fiber guide with a refractive index n3, forming an intermediate region. A medium with a refractive index n2 is located in the intermediate region. The refractive indices correspond to the relation n3>n1>n2. When subjected to a pressure, the fiber guide is pressed against the optical fiber such that the condition for the total reflection required for the normal optical waveguidance in the optical waveguide is no longer fulfilled, and attenuation takes place. The attenuation is evaluated in a corresponding control unit. The pressure sensor is especially provided for an anti-pinch device in the motor vehicle industry.

Abstract: The diverter device can be configured to deflect a flexible conductor, such as a film conductor, in a variety of ways. A base flap, a diverter flap with a diverting edge, and a protective flap are pivotally connected to one another. In the final assembly state, the film conductor is clamped on the one hand between the base flap and the diverter flap, and is clamped on the other hand between the diverting edge and a protective flap. Via the diverting edge, it is thereby diverted for example by 90°. The diverter device enables a diverting of the film conductor without the undesired occurrence of high mechanical loads in the diverting region. The protective flap is thereby used in particular for the mechanical protection of the film conductor.

Abstract: In a printed circuit board pair, each of the printed circuit boards having a contact region with contact elements, a contact-making system includes a first circuit board having three-dimensionally structured contact elements and a second circuit board also having three-dimensionally structured contact elements structured complementarily with respect to the contact elements of the first circuit board for positioning the two boards together. The contact elements of the first board reciprocally electrically contact the contact elements of the second board. The configuration ensures a high positioning accuracy of the two contact regions with respect to one another. A mask having cutouts for contact elements of the two boards can be provided. Such contact element positioning using the conductor track pattern and being independent of a contact-making housing has the advantage that the positioning accuracy is unaffected by tolerances between the conductor track pattern and the contact-making housing.

Abstract: A cable set with a protective covering enclosing a number of individual cables includes a first and a second end part and an intermediate part disposed therebetween. The intermediate part is fixed in terms of rotation on the first end part and is mounted such that it can be rotated over a limited angle range on the second end part. The cable set is provided, in particular, for placement between a body and a door of a motor vehicle and serves for the rotationally secured installation of the cable set.

Abstract: A cable assembly includes a sleeve body of plastic material; a protective tube extending in the sleeve body; a cable element disposed within the protective tube; and a transverse port provided in the wall of the protective tube. The plastic material extends through the transverse port into the protective tube and cross-sectionally seals the protective tube water tight in a region of the transverse port.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuse having an input connection (1), an output connection (2) and two parallel current paths which connect both connections to one another. The current paths are namely a main current path (3) and a partial current path. The electric fuse comprises a single fuse element (5) arranged in the main current path (3). In addition, a switch (6) which is arranged inthe partial current path is provided. The switch (6) is configured in such a way that it opens when given limiting values are exceeded, said limiting values pertaining to the current flowing through the fuse and/or to the temperture of the fuse element.

Abstract: A method for producing a cable harness includes the step of applying an essentially strip-shaped base layer having a plastic thixotropic material to an assembly support. A plurality of essentially parallel adjacent wires are fixed to the base layer. A cover layer of plastic material is applied onto the base layer. The cover layer is subsequently treated so that the plastic material envelops the wires, adheres to the base layer and changes to a more solid consistency.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing formed of a connector body carrying contact pins and a fixing part. A receiving gap for a foil conductor is formed between the connector body and the fixing part. At least some of the contact pins carry at least one contact element protruding into the receiving gap to make contact with a conductor track of the foil conductor. The fixing part is in the form of a sleeve and receives at least one longitudinal portion of the connector body, in an assembled state. The receiving gap, which is formed by an inner surface of the fixing part and a peripheral surface of the connector body, at least partially encloses the connector body.

Abstract: An electric cable has a cable jacket, a plastic part molded onto the cable jacket in an end region of the cable, a plurality of cores and a strain relieving thread for increasing the tensile strength of the cable. The strain relieving thread emerges from the cable jacket and is integrally and/or interlockingly embedded in the plastic part.
