  • Patent number: 11038333
    Abstract: A cable feedthrough for feeding at least one cable into a housing with an opening is provided. The cable feedthrough includes a covering comprising at least two housing shells, the covering having at least one opening, wherein a separating plane of the housing shells extends centrally through the opening, wherein to seal the housing, at least one elastic and/or flexible sealing element is provided that comprises a cable passage with a slit extending to the lateral edge of the cable passage, and wherein a counter pressure plate is provided that comprises at least one cable passage and covers the opening, the counter pressure plate cooperating with the sealing element and the covering to seal the housing. The sealing element is arranged with a predetermined oversize between the covering and the counter pressure plate and is under pressing force, as a result of which the sealing element is compressed.

  • Publication number: 20200161779
    Abstract: A plug connector comprises a plug connector housing, a cutting region arranged in the plug connector housing, and a contact region arranged in the plug connector housing, the contact region being suitable for contacting a mating plug connector. The plug connector comprises a plugging side and a connecting side opposite the plugging side, the plugging side and the connecting side being arranged at an angle to one another. This means that the plug connector is an angled plug connector in which the cutting region and the contact region are arranged on the plugging side. The disclosure further relates to a method for assembling a plug connector of this type.

  • Patent number: 10587078
    Abstract: A plug connector which has a main body, an actuator, a latch, and a block. The latch locks a receptacle of a counterpart plug connector by a push-pull mechanism. The latch can be released by actuation of the actuator. The block prevents the latch from moving into a locking position, in the unplugged state of the connector, i.e. without the seated receptacle. Thus, the connector can adopt two static states, an open state and a closed state.

  • Patent number: 9923302
    Abstract: A plug connector has a cylindrical housing body having at least one step, which forms two different regions each having different housing diameters, wherein the region having the smaller diameter is designed as a plug-in region and the region having the larger diameter is designed as a socket region, wherein the plug connector has a lock, which is captively connected to the housing body, wherein the plug connector has an actuator, which is operatively connected to the lock, wherein the plug connector has a plugging positioner, which at least partially surrounds the plug-in region. An attachment flange fits the plug connector and has an insertion region designed as a hollow cylinder, wherein the inner region of the hollow cylinder has at least one step, which forms two different regions each having different inside diameters, wherein the inner region of the insertion region is unthreaded.

  • Patent number: 9478911
    Abstract: The invention relates to a locking mechanism for plug-in connectors with a mating connector. Such a locking mechanism has two types of locking means, a primary locking element that is suitable for locking the mating connector and a secondary locking element that is suitable for mutually locking with the primary locking element. In doing so, the secondary locking element locks the primary one in the locked state of the locking mechanism and the primary locking element locks the secondary one in the unlocked state. By contacting the mating connector, the mechanism is automatically locked and is unlocked by actuating the secondary locking element which is implemented as an actuator.
