  • Patent number: 11158923
    Abstract: A microwave connector assembly comprises a waveguide ferrule having a receiving end receiving a dielectric waveguide, a connecting end distal to the receiving end, and a locking member, and a ferrule socket at least partially receiving the waveguide ferrule in a ferrule receptacle. The ferrule socket engages in a locking connection with the locking member. The ferrule socket has a coding member engaging a complementary coding member of the waveguide ferrule only when the waveguide ferrule is positioned relative to the ferrule socket in a single predetermined angular position or in one of two predetermined angular positions that are rotated by 180° with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 9564701
    Abstract: A plug connector has a housing with a cap, the cap having a lever which can adopt a first position and a second position. In this case, the housing is opened in the first position of the lever and closed in the second position of the lever. Furthermore, the plug connector has a locking device which can adopt a blocking position which is intended to lock the lever in the second position. The locking device is elastically movable out of its blocking position into a release position in order to unlock the lever in the second position. Furthermore, the locking device is elastically movable out of its blocking position into an overload position in order to unlock the lever in the second position if a force exerted on the lever exceeds a set value. In this case, the overload position differs from the release position.

  • Patent number: 8616914
    Abstract: The present application relates to a checkable plug-in connection comprising a plug having at least one latching element, a verification element which is secured to the plug via a connection element so as to be prevented from being removed, and a mating plug which can be connected to the plug and comprises at least one counter-latching element. The plug-in connection is configured so as to be able to pass from a pre-connection configuration, in which the verification element is prevented from being removed from the plug by the connection element and in which the plug and mating plug are separate from one another, into an end connection configuration, in which the counter-latching element is engaged with the at least one latching element and in which the plug and mating plug are prevented from being pulled apart.
