  • Publication number: 20110192065
    Abstract: A cover, in particular for covering inscription fields, includes a cover element configured to be inserted into a base body. At least one hooking-in element on the cover element can be engaged with at least one cutout on the base body. At least one latching tab on the cover element can engage with at least one latching opening on the base body, thus making it possible to form a detachable latching connection between the cover element and the base body. The cover element and/or the base body can be at least partially elastically deformed in a direction running parallel to the surface in the area of the at least one hooking-in element and/or in the area of the at least one latching tab and/or in the area of the at least one cutout receiving the hooking-in element, so that the cover element and the base body can be locked to one another by latching in a sprung manner.

  • Patent number: 7950951
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing and a printed circuit board with two sets of contact elements. The first set of contact elements is located on the front face of the printed circuit board and protrudes into an opening in the plug connector housing. The second set of contact elements is located on the rear face of the printed circuit board. The contact elements of the second set are configured to form insulation-displacement contacts. The plug connector also includes a cable manager which has a continuous opening and is configured on the front face with guides for cores or wires which are intended to make contact with the insulation-displacement contacts. The guides in the region of the insulation-displacement contacts are configured with recessed receiving elements or holders for the insulation-displacement contacts, and the cable manager can be latched to the plug connector housing.
