  • Publication number: 20240145981
    Abstract: A multiple-combination connector includes a housing which is formed by a lower housing and a matching upper housing. The lower housing has at least one opening. At least one socket is attached to the opening. A plurality of individual plugs which can be independently inserted into the socket. The connector can bring about a flexible combination of different types and different numbers of plugs/sockets and meet different application requirements. Since the design is that of a single plug, it is possible to assemble and disassemble the cables one by one, thereby facilitating assembly. The connector can prevent incorrect insertion and withstand disassembly and assembly. The problem of powder spraying is easily solved. The EMC functions, Ingress Protection (waterproof and dustproof) functions and protective earthing functions are implemented. The accumulation of rain, snow, ice and dust is effectively prevented, and small size and easy installation are achieved.

  • Publication number: 20230402790
    Abstract: A connector assembly comprises: a first connector, which has a housing forming an installation space and has a contact terminal accommodated in the installation space; a second connector, which has a housing forming an installation space and has a contact terminal accommodated in the installation space; and a locking device, by means of which the first and second connectors are locked while they are joined together. The locking device comprises a release protection component on either the first connector or the second connector and an insert on the other of the components first connector and second connector. The disclosure further relates to an adapter, a connector, a lateral locking device and a mounting frame for the connector assembly. The connector assembly is easy to assemble, allows the entire device to be made compact, and has improved electromagnetic shielding and watertightness.

  • Publication number: 20230155330
    Abstract: The attachment housing for connecting at least one high-performance plug connector comprises at least two housing elements. At least one housing element is mounted on a support structure and designed to accommodate at least one electrically conductive cable. The housing element and the support structure each have at least one corresponding opening, which openings allow at least the feed-through of an electrically conductive cable. The attachment housing also comprises at least one counter-pressure frame which is located on the side of the support structure opposite the attachment housing and is connected to the attachment housing.
