  • Patent number: 7125284
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector for contacting at least one electrical lead and for connection with a complementary connector, to an electrical plug-in connection for connecting at least one electrical lead to an electronic component and to an assembly method for assembling such an electrical connector. In order to provide an electrical connector of the above type and an associated assembly method which ensures simple, inexpensive producibility on the one hand and robust and reliable contactability on the other hand, and which additionally enables the greatest possible miniaturization, the connector (100) comprises a housing (116), in which the contact element (120) is at least partially accommodated and on which there is arranged a terminal cover (118) for covering the terminal area (124), which cover comprises a first lid part (126) and a second lid part (128), which are so constructed that they may both be moved to expose the terminal area (124) during fitting of the electrical lead (104).

  • Patent number: 7008251
    Abstract: A plug connector has a housing having a contact element extending therefrom. The contact element has a connecting region arranged outside of the housing for electrically connecting the contact element to an electrical lead. A sealing element surrounds the connecting region. The sealing element is axially slideable along the connecting region into engagement with the housing.

  • Publication number: 20050286836
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plug comprising a main housing, at least one conductor guide and a supplementary part. To improve the plug such that the conductor guide can be assembled as easily as possible and its correct position easily checked, with the conductor guide still being well secured, the conductor guide comprises a retaining profile with which a partial profile of the main housing and a supplementary profile of the supplementary part can be brought, at least in certain sections, into engagement so as to correspond with each other.
