  • Patent number: 11929565
    Abstract: An interface for electrically contacting a printed circuit board housed in a housing is formed as a double-sided and/or two-part interface by a first interface having at least one first contact element which is brought into electric contact with at least one terminal of the printed circuit board; a second interface having at least one second contact element corresponding to the first interface and arranged on an opening of the housing in a stationary manner such that the first and second contact elements are brought into contact with each other. The second contact element provides a terminal which can be contacted from outside the housing, wherein plug-in and/or pulling forces acting on the terminal are received by the second interface and/or the housing. The second interface is designed for connecting a plug connector on the housing exterior, and the first contact element is provided by a stamped bent contact.

  • Patent number: 11258207
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system consisting of a first plug connector module (2) and a second plug connector module (3), each of which is to be used in a modular industrial plug connector. The first plug connector module (2) has a first shield transfer element (5), and the second plug connector module (3) has a second shield transfer element (6). A cable connected to the plug connector module (2, 3) can be secured on a connection side (A) of each shield transfer element (5, 6), and the shield transfer elements (5, 6) can be brought into electric contact with each other on the plug side.

  • Patent number: 11038333
    Abstract: A cable feedthrough for feeding at least one cable into a housing with an opening is provided. The cable feedthrough includes a covering comprising at least two housing shells, the covering having at least one opening, wherein a separating plane of the housing shells extends centrally through the opening, wherein to seal the housing, at least one elastic and/or flexible sealing element is provided that comprises a cable passage with a slit extending to the lateral edge of the cable passage, and wherein a counter pressure plate is provided that comprises at least one cable passage and covers the opening, the counter pressure plate cooperating with the sealing element and the covering to seal the housing. The sealing element is arranged with a predetermined oversize between the covering and the counter pressure plate and is under pressing force, as a result of which the sealing element is compressed.
