  • Patent number: 9385476
    Abstract: A connector (1) comprising a least a housing (10) with a least one aperture (12), at least two terminals each being inserted into one of the aperture (12) and at least one locking device (30) for insertion into an opening (11) of the housing (10) for locking at least one of the terminals in an aperture (12), permits an easy control of the connection of the terminals, if the locking device (30) comprises at least two contact pads (36), each contact pad connecting one of the at least two terminals (50), and if the locking device (30) supports a signaling circuit, being connected to the contact pads (36).

  • Patent number: 6945829
    Abstract: A self-locking screw connection includes a cylindrical thread section (130) and a nut (300) that can be snapped onto the cylindrical thread section (130). The nut (300) has a thread that is divided into several thread segments (322), and the cylindrical thread section (130) has a plurality of threadless chambers (134) that are spaced from one another along the circumference of the cylindrical thread section (130). The threadless chambers allow immersion of one of the thread segments into one of the threadless chambers for providing a self-locking effect.

  • Patent number: 6840793
    Abstract: A device for relieving mechanical tension of an electric cable includes two symmetrical, elastically flexible clamping members that extend in a transverse direction relative to a tension direction of the cable. The clamping members are inclined opposite to the tension direction of the cable, slotted similar to a comb, and symmetrically oppose one another.

  • Patent number: 6764351
    Abstract: An electrical connector that comprises a housing with a longitudinal axis that extends in the mating direction. Several terminal receiving cavities are arranged inside the housing and extend parallel to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the housing. An insertion chamber is defined by wall sections of the terminal receiving cavities and serves for inserting the secondary locking element from the mating side. The chamber is open toward the mating end of the housing, and with openings that are provided in the wall sections of the terminal receiving cavities define the insertion chamber and serve for receiving locking knobs of a secondary locking element inserted into the insertion chamber.
