  • Patent number: 8974253
    Abstract: A contact module includes an overmolded leadframe with frame members separated by corresponding gaps and a removable insert coupled to a corresponding receptacle signal contacts. The removable insert has a main wall, end walls extending from the main wall and forming a receiving space therebetween, and a finger extending from the main wall in the receiving space. First and second channels are formed between the finger and the corresponding end walls that receive the contacts. The finger and end walls hold the lateral positions of the contacts during the overmolding process. The receiving space is filled with dielectric material during overmolding and the removable insert leaves a window in the corresponding frame member that exposes the corresponding receptacle signal contacts.

  • Patent number: 8734180
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting terminal (1) for at least one electric line (6). The connecting terminal has a housing (9), a line receptacle (2) extending in a direction of the line (L) through the housing, and a cutting means (20). The cutting means (20) comprises a blade pocket (48) extending transversely to the direction of the line (L) and limited in the direction of the line by at least one stripping jaw (50) which is deflectable in the direction of the line, and a severing knife (38) oriented with its cutting edge (40) towards the blade pocket. The severing knife (38) and the blade pocket (48) are arranged to be movable relative to each other from a starting position (14) into a severing position (18). In the severing position, the severing knife at least virtually completely blocks off the line receptacle, and is received, at least in sections, in the blade pocket. This configuration makes it possible to sever the electric line cleanly at any point whatsoever by means of the connecting terminal.

  • Patent number: 8672705
    Abstract: The invention relates to a enclosure assembly for at least one connector, including an enclosure, the enclosure having a connector volume configured to receive the connector and an opening at least at a rearward end, a strain relief element being adapted to receive a cable, the strain relief element being provided with a relief portion at one end, the relief portion being configured to support the cable elastically, and with a fastening portion, the fastening portion in a mounted state being arranged at least partially within the opening and affixing the strain relief element to the enclosure. To create an enclosure which is easy to mount and assures a reliable anchorage of the cable within the enclosure, in a pre-mounted state, the enclosure and the strain relief element are adapted to be slid relative to each other in a forward direction (F) up to a forward position, and in that in the forward position the enclosure is automatically engaged in a friction lock with the fastening portion.
