Abstract: A cable termination comprises, amongst other things, three insulated cable connection elements which project into a housing and have an internal conductor, and also three phase connection parts which are designed as hollow bodies and likewise project into the housing from a side which is situated opposite the cable connection elements and into each of which one of three cable end reinforcements can be inserted. The cable connection elements and the phase connection parts each form the corners of a triangle. These triangles are rotated in relation to one another in their respective plane, so that an offset is created. In order to bridge the offset, a connecting element is arranged between in each case one cable connection element and the associated phase connection part, the said connecting element being designed such that it can be partially or entirely removed in order to establish an isolating gap.

Abstract: An electric circuit configuration includes an electric circuit, with a printed circuit board provided in a housing. The printed circuit board carries circuit elements and defines a printed circuit board plane. A plug-in connector element is provided at the housing and has a plurality of contact elements disposed in at least one first row. The plug-in connector element has short-circuit interrupters disposed at respective interrupter positions at the rear wall The short-circuit interrupters are configured as electrically non-conductive pins integrally formed with the rear wall and are disposed in a second row. None of the contact elements are, none of the contact elements are disposed in the second row. The second row is disposed beneath the at least one first row and is closer to the printed circuit board plane than the at least one first row. Thus the number of plug contact elements can be increased considerably without increasing the overall height of the control device.

Abstract: A detonator device for tripping a passenger restraint device in a motor vehicle includes a detonator circuit on a holder. Firing pins for receiving a detonator element are an integral component of the holder.

Abstract: A control assembly for a passenger protection system of a vehicle which is tripped upon the occurrence of a side impact traffic accident. The control assembly has at least one detector adapted to detect a pressure rise in a hollow body. The at least one detector is mounted in a largely enclosed side portion on the side of the vehicle body defining a hollow body such as a door. A control unit is connected to and receives signals from the at least one detector. The control unit evaluates a sudden and largely adiabatic air pressure rise detected by the detector upon a side impact collision and determines whether to actuate a passenger protection system such as an air bag.

Abstract: A sensor unit for controlling an occupant protection system has a sensor which is held in its position on a printed circuit board through the use of an elastic damping holder. The damping holder is soldered onto the printed circuit board together with the sensor. In addition, the damping holder protects the sensor during the production and mounting of the sensor unit.

Abstract: A metal-encapsulated switching apparatus includes a housing having first and second opposite ends, a first insulator disposed at the first end and a second insulator disposed at the second end. First terminals are supported on the first insulator. First phase conductors run in a given direction and are connected to the first terminals. Second terminals are supported on the second insulator. Second phase conductors run in the given direction and are connected to the second terminals. The first and second terminals are mutually parallel, spaced apart and mutually overlapped. Movable contacts in the form of contact blades are supported on the first terminals. Fixed contacts are supported on the second terminals. Extensions with free ends protrude from and are perpendicular to the first and second terminals in the same direction. Fixed terminal contacts are perpendicular to the given direction of the phase conductors.

Abstract: A pressurized gas-insulated circuit breaker includes a substantially tubular encapsulating housing having ends, a plurality of circuit breaker poles in phases, at least one of which is disposed in the encapsulating housing, and current feed lines. Each line leading to a respective one of the circuit breaker poles. Current discharge lines each lead from a respective one of the circuit breaker poles. The current feed and discharge lines to and from each respective circuit breaker pole being disposed at the same one of the ends of the encapsulating housing. Supplemental conductors are each disposed in the encapsulating housing and are each extending parallel to and forming a U-shape with a respective one of the circuit breaker poles.
