Patent number: 7001207Abstract: A connector for a ribbon cable is described having two part plates which are preferably connected to one another via a connection piece. The part plates are therefore preferably integral in design. In the region of the connection piece there are contact slots made in the part plates. Preferably the part plates can be produced in the form of continuous plates and cut as required into the desired width from the continuous ribbon. For assembling the connector a ribbon cable is inserted between the part plates and subsequently the part plates are folded on to one another by means of a simple folding operation and preferably permanently connected to one another by fastening elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Christian Otto Boemmel, Rolf Jetter

Patent number: 6979224Abstract: A connector for a ribbon cable includes a housing having a ribbon cable receiving region extending between a front surface and a back surface of the housing. A ribbon cable disposed in the ribbon cable receiving region. The ribbon cable has contact sections arranged at the back surface of the housing. Retention clips arranged on the back surface of the housing that receive a portion of the ribbon cable. The retention clips are arranged at a fixed spacing such that the contact sections of the ribbon cable are accessible between each of the retention clips for receiving contact elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2004Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Christian Otto Boemmel, Rolf Jetter

Patent number: 6733322Abstract: A pluggable connection housing (1) with a boot (2) has at least one contact passageway (7, 8) having plug-in apertures (5, 6) at its two ends. Respective ends of male and female members arranged on cables can be arranged therein and produce a pluggable connection. The book (2) can be at least partially detachably fastened to the pluggable connection housing (1). In order to simplify construction and handling of pluggable connection housing (1) and boot (2) and, at the same time, to allow more ways of arranging the boot (2) relative to the pluggable connection housing (1), the boot (2) is substantially tubular and has a peripheral undercut at least in certain places in the peripheral direction at one plug-in end, which undercut engages with at least one undercut element (12) arrange in the plug-in aperture (5, 6) in the plugged-in position (13) of the plug-in end (9).Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2003Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Christian Otto Boemmel, Rolf Jetter, Dietrich Kuempel, Guido Gertrudis Maria Petrus Van De Burgt

Patent number: 6679735Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical pin contact, (1, 32, 56), having a connecting part (2) and a connector tongue (4) together with a locking part (3, 33, 57). A separate locking spring (14, 34, 58), is provided which is inserted into the locking part (3, 33, 57) perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the contact (1, 32, 56). Particularly simple mounting of the locking spring (14, 34, 48) is achieved in that the latter has latching means, which fix the locking spring (14, 34, 58) in position in the locking part (3, 33, 57) through insertion of the locking spring into the locking part (3, 33, 57).Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Christian Otto Boemmel, Rolf Jetter, Manfred Proff
