  • Patent number: 7108566
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes first electrical contacts arranged in first and second contact zones. The second housing includes second electrical contacts arranged in first and second contact holders. The second contact holder is displaceable with respect to the second housing in a direction of mating when the first and second housings are mated. The second contact holder is displaceable between a first position where the second electrical contacts of the second contact holder mechanically engage the first electrical contacts and a subsequent second position where the second electrical contacts of the first contact holder mechanically engage the first electrical contacts.

  • Patent number: 7004791
    Abstract: A connector housing and a process for making same, in which the connector housing comprises a base part and a pivoting part, attached to the base part and made in one piece with the base part. The pivoting part has at least one surface delimiting an insertion opening in the connector housing through which a pin contact may be inserted into a socket contact in the connector housing. The connector housing being injection molded, with the pivoting part located in an open position, providing sufficient space for the molds for shaping a latching hook. After the mold has been removed, the pivoting part is moved into a closed position in which the delimiting surface of the pivoting part is moved towards the insertion opening. The connector housing cures with the pivoting part in the closed position. The socket contact is held in a contact chamber by a latching hook.

  • Patent number: 6305992
    Abstract: An electrical contact (1) is shown having a conductor connection region (2) for connection to an electrical conductor wire and a contact-making region (3) for making contact with a complementary contact pin is specified, the contact-making region essentially being designed in the form of a box with two side walls (4, 5), a top wall (6) and a bottom wall (7), the bottom wall (7) and the top wall (6) having a different width in the direction perpendicular to the plug-in direction, in such a way that the side walls (4, 5) run in a manner inclined with respect to the bottom and top walls (6, 7) and with respect to one another.
