  • Patent number: 7959465
    Abstract: In a contact housing having a contact chamber for accommodating a contact body which can be inserted into the contact chamber through an assembly opening in a direction of insertion, in an operational position of the contact body in which it is stopped within the contact chamber, at least one element of contact chamber is lying against a stopping surface (support surface), of contact body, which generally points in a direction opposite to the insertion direction in such a way that the removal of the contact body is generally prevented counter to the insertion direction, the present invention provides that a center axis of the assembly opening has a lateral offset transversely to the direction of insertion with respect to a center axis of the stopped contact body; that in the contact chamber, in the direction of insertion, behind the assembly opening, a displaceably situated, elastically flexible spring is provided that extends into the path of the contact body, which narrows the path for the contact body and

  • Patent number: 7500875
    Abstract: A contact housing for an electrical plug connection, having a plurality of contact chambers for accommodating in each case a contact element that is able to be plugged into the contact chamber through an assembly opening, having in each case a latching element, that extends laterally into the contact chamber, for the primary latching of the contact element which is pushed, up to its end position, into the contact chamber, and having in each case a locking element that is guided shiftably transversely to the plug-in direction of the contact element between two adjacent contact chambers, for the secondary locking of the contact element that is primarily latched in the one contact chamber, the locking element laterally extending into the one contact chamber using a locking projection in the locking position, and forming a guidance area of the other contact chamber on its side facing away from the locking projection.

  • Patent number: 7384318
    Abstract: A contact housing for an electrical plug connector, having multiple contact chambers for receiving a respective contact body insertable through a placement opening into the contact chamber having, a respective elastically deflectable latching arm, protruding laterally into the contact chamber, for primary latching of the contact body inserted to its end position into the contact chamber, and having a respective locking element, displaceably guided transversely to the insertion direction of the contact body, that in its locked position protrudes, with a first locking projection, laterally into the contact chamber for secondary locking of the contact body latched in primary fashion therein. Provision is made that the locking element has a second locking projection that, in the locked position of the locking element, blocks the latching arm against deflection out of its position protruding into the contact chamber.
