Abstract: Miniaturized spectrometer in the form of a probe for determining ingredients of a gaseous or liquid fluid with a light source and a spectrometer, at least one measurement beam, and at least one reference beam. Light from the light source is optionally fanned out and focused, by at least one optical lens, in an essentially parallel beam. At least one measurement beam is passed through a light transparent window from the probe into the fluid being investigated and through an additional light transparent window back in to the probe, and at least one reference beam is guided in the probe interior. A collecting optics device, comprising at least one lens, diverts the beams to the impingement point of the light guide or the inlet of the spectrometer, and a beam selector in the area of the collecting optics device passes through one of the partial beams and interrupts all the others.

Abstract: The cable connector for electrical connections has a connector housing and a connector insert which is made of electrically insulating material and has contact elements, and a pull relief for the cable to be connected. This pull relief is formed by a swivel jaw. The surface of the swivel jaw cooperating with the cable is rounded in an arc-shaped manner and is formed with teeth. The swivel plane of the swivel jaw lies in or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable connector. The connector insert is formed of at least two parts, wherein the first part has a portion having the contact elements and a channel-like portion adjoining the rear side of portion, with an electrically conducting insert extending along part of the length of the channel-like portion. This electrically conducting insert extends until the portion of the first part having the contact elements to form a ground contact. The other, second part of the connector insert is connectable with the channel-like portion of the first part.

Abstract: A jack plug has a contact tip provided at the free end and followed by a connection part which is received by a tubular shaft of the jack plug. The contact tip with the connection part is electrically insulated from the shaft. At the side remote of the contact tip, the shaft has a handle part through which the connecting cable runs. The connection part which is formed in one piece with the contact tip has a bore hole which penetrates it over its entire length and which extends into the interior of the contact tip. The conductor of the cable to be connected can be secured in the interior of the contact tip by a material engagement or a positive engagement (crimping). The portion of the bore hole located in the contact tip is filled with a solder and, if required, with flux. A zone of the handle part is grooved or knurled on its inner side. This zone is narrowed in diameter by radial squeezing (crimping) after the cable to be connected is inserted.

Abstract: A jack socket for a jack plug has a tubular guide part for receiving the shaft of the jack plug and a holder made from electrically insulating material with contact strips arranged therein. The contact strips have solder lugs which project beyond the holder and can be connected in an electrically conducting manner with the conductors of a printed circuit board. The tubular guide part can be fastened in a bore hole of a housing of a device having the jack socket. The holder grasps the contact strips and, as the case may be, the switching contacts in the immediate region of the solder lugs. The height of the holder amounts to only a portion of the height of the contact strips. The guide part and the holder with the contact strips are separated from one another. The holder is disk-shaped or plate-shaped.

Abstract: The electrical plug-in connector for electric leads comprises a cable plug and a chassis receptacle. The cable plug and chassis receptacle each have a housing with preferably flat contacts. The contacts of the cable plug are arranged at inner surfaces of legs of a U-shaped or frame-shaped part of the housing, which inner surfaces face one another. A wedge-shaped receiving space is cut out in the chassis receptacle for receiving this U-shaped or frame-shaped part. A nose-shaped projection is provided at one of the converging side surfaces of this receiving space, this nose-shaped projection projecting across from the other side surface. Contacts are arranged at the boundary surfaces of the latter which are disposed at right angles to the opposite side surface. The front side of this nose-shaped projection is arranged at a distance from the adjacent side surface.
