  • Patent number: 6080023
    Abstract: The electrical connector has a basic body, at least one contact element inserted into the basic body, and a contact-ensuring slide. The slide is brought into engagement with the basic body and, when it is properly engaged, the contact element is ensured not to be displaced from its proper position in the basic body. The basic body and the contact-ensuring slide are formed with guide elements for specifically guiding the basic body and the contact-ensuring slide when the latter two are brought into engagement. Latching elements latch the basic body and the contact-ensuring slide. The guide elements and the latching elements of the electrical connector are spatially separated from one another.

  • Patent number: 5941741
    Abstract: The one-piece contact spring has two spring arms, bent back inwardly in a box-shaped contact part. The spring arms are supported on a support which helps relieve the bend. The support is recessed into the box interior from the forward end of the bend by approximately two to five times the thickness of the bottom or top wall, respectively. A preferred embodiment of the one-piece contact spring has spring arms supported by support arms stamped and bent out from the bottom wall and the top wall.
