  • Electrical zero-force plug connector
    Patent number: 9287647
    Abstract: An electrical zero-force plug connector includes a socket housing holding sleeve contacts movable between opened and closed positions and an assembly connector having connector pins. A bolt is movable against the socket housing from an unlocked position into a locked position after the socket housing and the assembly connector are joined. A slider is connected to the bolt and the sleeve contacts such that as the bolt moves the slider moves through a seal of the socket housing and moves the sleeve contacts. While the socket housing and the assembly connector are joined and the bolt is unlocked, the sleeve contacts are opened and the connector pins are inserted into the sleeve contacts. While the socket housing and the assembly connector are joined and the bolt is locked, the sleeve contacts are closed and the connector pins inserted into the sleeve contacts are held therein.
