Abstract: A connector is disclosed for mating with a counter-connector. The connector comprises a sleeve defining a recess and being adapted to receive the counter-connector at least partially. The connector further comprises one or more contact pins located in the recess and extending along a mating direction of the connector. Further, a connector system is discloses comprising a connector and a counter-connector. Further, a retainer is disclosure for use in a connector or a connector system.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a plug body comprising a first housing part and a second housing part with a plug-in portion. The housing parts are movable relative to each other along a housing axis. An elastic element holds the housing parts against each other. The second housing part has a projection with a first sliding surface diagonally to the housing axis. The electrical connector assembly further includes a mating connector having a collar with a second sliding surface cooperating with the first sliding surface. The second housing part is displaced away from the first housing part along the housing axis against a restoring force of the elastic element. The second sliding surface ends at a recess in the collar, so that the elastic element pulls the projection into the recess and locks the plug body with the mating connector.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical plug connector for a safety restraint system, preferably for an airbag ignition system. The plug connector includes at least two contact terminals assigned to the plug connector and a shorting clip that is configured to short-circuit the at least two contact terminals in an uncoupled or incorrectly coupled condition of the plug connector. The shorting clip includes at least two contact blades. Each contact blade is electrically connected with one of the at least two contact terminals. Each of the contact blades includes at least one cutting edge. The cutting edges contact each other such that one edge cuts the other when the plug connector is in an uncoupled or incorrectly coupled condition.
