  • Publication number: 20250125553
    Abstract: A plug assembly having a clamping part, a clamping sleeve, and a housing. The clamping part receives and positions the cable plug at a front portion thereof and engages around a cable in a rear portion. There is a fixed connection between clamping part and sleeve, and the connection generates increasing radial compression on the rear portion of the clamping part to clamp the cable. The housing is pluggable into a complementary socket and receives and positions the clamping part in a latched position via a latching arrangement. The latching connection is releasable between the clamping part and housing by a tilting movement that results in a clamping part engagement element disengaging from a housing stop element. The housing can be pushed rearward along the cable, such that the cable plug and clamping part are no longer covered by the housing.

  • Patent number: 12224519
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector, in particular built-in plug connector, includes a housing with a connecting flange having through holes for feeding through fasteners; a flange plate with mounting bores for connecting to a device wall; a control panel, or similar; and a seal inserted therebetween. The outer edge of the flange plate is bent towards the housing and overlaps the outer edge of the connecting flange. The seal protrudes with a circumferential sealing lip into the insertion opening and has an edge bent towards the housing, which edge overlaps circumferential edge of the connecting flange and which, itself, is overlapped by the outer edge of the flange plate. In the assembled state, the circumferential edge of the flange plate extends at maximum to the height of the rear side of the connecting flange and the edge of the seal is higher than the rear surface of the connecting flange.

  • Patent number: 12224514
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector has a housing, in which at least one insertion opening and at least one guide for a complementary plug connector with at least one electrical contact pin are arranged. At least one contact element that is elastically deflectable out of the path of the contact pin is mounted in the housing and at least partially protrudes into the insertion opening when the complementary plug connector is absent. The lateral edge of the contact element facing the contact pin, in its front section, encloses an acute angle with the path of the contact pin during the insertion when viewed in the direction of the deflection of the contact element. When the cable plug connector is fully inserted, a flat contact section of the contact element, adjoining the lateral edge, in the transverse direction abuts in contact with the contact pin.

  • Publication number: 20250023306
    Abstract: An ethernet device connector built-in module for a controllable apparatus from lighting, sound, video or special effects engineering, for incorporating the apparatus in a chain of apparatuses serially connected by ethernet. The construction of the built-in module allows serial control of complexly switchable apparatuses. The built-in module provides a data supply and, for example, a power supply of a chain of serially interconnected apparatuses via two external plug-in locations being interconnected via an interposed distributor component that has an ethernet contact interface on a PCB of the built-in module for connecting within the apparatus, the built-in module to control electronics of the apparatus. The distributor component is configured here to distribute a data supply signal and optionally a power supply signal supplied by one of the two external plug-in locations to the other one of the two external plug-in locations and the ethernet contact interface on the PCB.

  • Publication number: 20240241323
    Abstract: A cable connector assembly for electrical and/or optical cables and for connection to a complementary connector assembly. A housing for receiving the contact elements can be connected to a clamping sleeve via a threaded connection. A partially radially compressible clamping member surrounds and grips the cable at the latest when the threaded connection of the clamping sleeve and the housing is tightened. A tightening sleeve, having a length less than the clamping sleeve, is pushed coaxially over at least a portion of the clamping sleeve. A unidirectional locking mechanism interposed between the clamping sleeve and the tightening sleeve prevents a relative rotation of the tightening sleeve and the clamping sleeve in the tightening direction of the threaded connection between the clamping sleeve and the housing beyond a certain extent. A user can assemble the cable connector assembly manually, but can no longer open it without a tool.
