Patent number: 10862256Abstract: For ease and modification flexibility in the manufacture of jumpers in a plug connector, according to the invention the housing cover (10) is equipped with a contact carrier (3) which is releasably clipped thereon. The contact carrier (3) can be made in two parts and can have an upper part (1) and a lower part (32). These can be separated from one another and joined together in order to accommodate individual U-shaped contact pins (8, 8?, 8?) for bridging socket contacts (28) of the plug connector or also in order to remove and/or replug said pins. If necessary, the complete contact carrier (3) can also be exchanged for another contact carrier having a different bridge assignment. As a result, the operating state of an electrical system can be individually defined and modified. When the housing cover is open, an external test plug can be plugged in for maintenance purposes.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: HARTING Electric GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 10756475Abstract: A holding frame for a heavy plug-type connector can receive identical and/or different plug-type connector modules. The holding frame comprises a main body which has two side parts which lie opposite one another, and at least one fixing clip which is held at least on a side part, and by way of which the plug-type connector modules can be fixed within the main body. The at least one fixing clip has at least one holding arm which moves parallel to the plane of the side parts during the introduction of a plug-type connector module into the holding frame. As a result, plug-type connector modules can be introduced into the holding frame particularly simply and even in the installed state of said holding frame. At the same time, the holding frame variant which is shown here is more stable than the previously known holding frames which have the same functionality.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: HARTING Electric GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6913487Abstract: For the purpose of transmitting signals without interfering radiation, a plug-in connector module is proposed which comprises an electrically conductive shell-type casing, with a connector insert, in a retaining body composed of insulating material. The plug-in connector module is held by locking device in a module mounting device which, in turn, is integrated into a plug-in connector casing. Within the shell-type casing, an electrically conductive contact with the shielding of a signal-carrying cable is provided, so that it is possible to dispose in the module mounting device, without mutual interference, both a plurality of plug-in connector modules having mutually independent earth potentials and plug-in connector modules which transmit a power supply, pneumatic supply or suchlike.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2003Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: Harting Electric GmbH & Co.
