Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector with an electrically insulating contact carrier and with at least one electrically conducting contact element which is held in the contact carrier. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for manufacturing a connector of this type. Changes in dimension in the geometry of the contact carrier and also fluctuations in spacing and geometry in the enclosing shielding cause impedance inhomogeneities in the signal propagation direction that adversely influence the signal quality. Furthermore, it may be necessary to purposefully set the impedance so as to differ from the nominal impedance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the transition resistance in an electrical connection, in particular a pressure connection, between two contact elements.

According to the invention, the transition resistance is improved by there being applied to at least one contact face of a contact element a chemically reducing substance which activates the contact face and consequently increases the conductivity and the cold welding density.

Abstract: A plug connector has a housing with a cap, the cap having a lever which can adopt a first position and a second position. In this case, the housing is opened in the first position of the lever and closed in the second position of the lever. Furthermore, the plug connector has a locking device which can adopt a blocking position which is intended to lock the lever in the second position. The locking device is elastically movable out of its blocking position into a release position in order to unlock the lever in the second position. Furthermore, the locking device is elastically movable out of its blocking position into an overload position in order to unlock the lever in the second position if a force exerted on the lever exceeds a set value. In this case, the overload position differs from the release position.

The connector may be for a sealed connector assembly that includes an outer housing, which has a cable inlet opening and an interior space, at least sections of which form a mating-connector receptacle for a mating connector that is complementary to the connector. At least sections of the contact housing of the connector are arranged in the interior space. The contact housing, which has the contact region having the contact seat for holding the contact-side end of the kink-prone cable, facilitates assembly of the connector and prevents damage to the kink-prone cable, and includes positioning means for fixing the position of a laced section of the kink-prone cable.
