  • Connector arrangement with staggered mating
    Patent number: 7217150
    Abstract: An improved electrical connector. The connector includes a first connector (1) having a housing (5) for receiving first contact elements (9) and a slider (19) slidably disposed on the housing (5) for receiving second contact elements (30); a second connector (3) for receiving first counter contact elements (32) and second counter contact elements (39); and a retainer (20, 36) which allows displacement of the slider (19) such that the second contact elements (30) secured thereto contact the second counter contact elements (39) only when the first and second connectors are completely connected together by a locking device. During mating the first contact elements (9) and first connector contact elements (32) become fully engaged, but no current flow occurs.
