  • Publication number: 20240120681
    Abstract: A seal for an electrical plug device is provided including a through-opening for passing through an electrical conductor of the electrical plug device, wherein the through-opening extends along a hole axis and, in the through-opening, a sealing protrusion is arranged which extends in a closed manner and at least sectionally obliquely to a normal plane of the hole axis around the hole axis. Due to the at least sectional obliqueness of the sealing protrusion, a lead-in chamfer is created which facilitates the passing through of the electrical conductor through the through-opening. A housing assembly and an electrical plug device with such a seal are further provided. A casting tool for manufacturing such a seal is provided.

  • Publication number: 20220412463
    Abstract: A seal for an electrical connector includes a sealing surface, a bearing surface opposite the sealing surface, a plurality of sealing lips protruding on the sealing surface next to one another, a plurality of support lips protruding on the bearing surface, and a plurality of recesses on the bearing surface between the support lips. Each of the sealing lips is opposite one of the recesses.

  • Patent number: 11228142
    Abstract: A plug connection for electrically and mechanically coupling a pair of electrical conductors includes a coupling having a coupling housing and a lever with a locking element, a pin strip having a pin strip housing with a recess receiving the locking element, and a projection arranged between the lever and the pin strip housing. The lever is rotatably mounted at the coupling housing orthogonally to a plug-in direction. The coupling housing is arranged at least in sections on the pin strip housing in a form-fitting manner and the locking element is arranged adjacent to the recess in a pre-locking position of the lever. The locking element is brought into an operative connection with the recess by rotation of the lever. When a plugging force is applied onto the coupling housing, the projection generates a counter force on the lever against the plugging force.

  • Patent number: 10777932
    Abstract: An electric plug comprises an outer housing, an inner housing adapted to be plugged into the outer housing along an assembly direction, and a press-on element. The press-on element is adapted to be deflected elastically transversely to the assembly direction and produces a press-fit connection between the inner housing and the outer housing.

  • Publication number: 20040119246
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing device for sealing a line relative to a line duct. The line is introducible at least partially into the line duct. A substantially tubular seal is disposed between the line and the line duct. The present invention further relates to a plug-in connector, which is connected to the line duct and comprises a sealing device. In order to provide a sealing device, by means of which the sealing between a line and a line duct may be improved and/or improved strain relief of the line is enabled, at least one sealing lip is formed on the inner and/or outer wall of a seal belonging to the sealing device.
