  • Patent number: 7938693
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes an insulating body supporting electrical contact elements having a connector portion and a conductor connection portion. At least one retaining element is configured to contact a respective at least one contact insert and has at least one flange with at least one punched hole configured to fasten the electrical plug connector to at least one of a housing and a control cabinet. A tension sleeve has a terminal screw configured to connect a ground conductor with the electrically conductive metal element. A U-shaped frame is configured to receive and guide the tension sleeve. A conductor bar is disposed on the electrically conductive metal element angularly offset from the U-shaped frame and is configured to engage the tension sleeve.

  • Patent number: 7247033
    Abstract: A plug connector for a circuit board connection possesses a plug strip and a plug part that includes a socket housing projecting on the plug side. The socket housing possesses a generally rectangular basic cross section with longitudinal sides opposite each other on both sides, and a face side located between them. Insertion guide holes with adjacent plug receptors for contact pins are located on this face side, such pins being positioned on the plug strip with matching alignment. In order to be able to join the plug part and the plug strip along at least two insertion directions offset from each other by 90°, and to ensure a solid mechanical connection of the plug part independent of insertion direction, first the plug strip is formed as an angle strip with a first strip shoulder and a second strip shoulder perpendicular to it, and the contact pins are mounted either on the first or on the second strip shoulder.
