Abstract: An electrical plug-in connector is in the form of a cable plug connector or a device connector plug. A particularly reliable and tightly-sealed connector may be achieved, whereby the plug-in connector is disclosed, and contains a connector mechanism, which is self-closing on bringing the parts for connection together. The plug-in connector further contains a radial seal for sealing the parts connected together.

Abstract: A screwless connecting terminal, in particular a modular terminal, is described. The terminal has a conductor rail situated in a terminal housing, an insulation-piercing connection connected in an electrically conductive fashion with the conductor rail, and between whose cutting edges, which face one another, an electrical conductor can be contacted that can be introduced into the terminal housing via a housing lead-through. An insulation-piercing contacting of the immovably positioned conductor takes place through a translational movement of the insulation-piercing connection along the conductor rail in a longitudinal direction of the rail. At least one bead is formed in at least one clamp limb of the insulation-piercing connection.

Abstract: An adaptor for connecting a chip card to a PCMCIA-standard computer slot has a housing with a top cover, a separate bottom cover, and at least one intermediate insulative element or frame connecting the top cover to the bottom cover at a spacing to one another. The top cover and bottom cover have substantially congruent outer contours. The housing has a receiving channel. A printed circuit board is mounted in the housing and extends parallel to the receiving channel. The circuit board has contact elements for electrically contacting a chip card received in the receiving channel. The housing has a front face and a back face wherein the front face has an insertion slot communicating with the receiving channel. The back face has a contact plug electrically connected to the printed circuit board and adapted to electrically contact the PCMCIA-standard computer slot. Cams at the channel entrance are used for card retention.

Abstract: An adaptor for connecting a miniaturized electronic storage module, especially a miniature card (2) with 60 surface contacts, to a personal computer (PC) a notebook, or a similar data processing system with PCMCIA port whereby at a plug-in card-shaped outer housing (3) a PCMCIA plug (4) is provided at one end face which is connected especially by soldering connections (5) with electronic components supported on the circuit board (7), whereby at the oppositely arranged side a contact field (8) with a conductive rubber strips (10) or contact springs for electrically contacting the miniature card (2) is arranged below a housing window (11) with a frame (12) for insertion and removal of the miniature card (2).

Abstract: A contacting unit has a housing consisting of a base plate and a cover plate with a plastic frame. A printed circuit board, having a strip plug for contacting a computer slot and a contact field for contacting a chip card, is mounted between cover plate and base plate that such between the printed circuit board and the base plate an insertion channel is defined and such that the strip plug is located at a first narrow side of the housing. The printed circuit board is secured by the plastic frame. The insertion channel has an insertion guide located at the opposite narrow housing side. The base plate and the cover plate are separate stamped sheet metal parts, and at least the longitudinal edges have inwardly bent tabs. The base plate has plastic holders for securing opposite ends of the strip plug. The insertion guide is a profiled plastic member having a length matching the length of the narrow side.

Abstract: A chip card contacting unit has a housing and a printed circuit board mounted in the housing. The printed circuit board has contacts for contacting electrically and mechanically a contact array of a chip card received in the housing. A switch is mounted in the housing. The switch has a stop limiting insertion of the chip card into the housing. A guide member guides the chip card during insertion and acts on the side of the chip card opposite the contact array to ensure correct positioning of the contact array at the contacts by providing an abutment.

Abstract: An electrical contact element has an elongate three-dimensional body formed of a single stamped sheet metal piece and has a first end and a second end with a longitudinal center line extending from the first to the second end. The first end of the body has an insulation displacement contact with a first and a second pair of legs for receiving and contacting a cable. Each one of the first and the second pairs has an insertion slot defined between the legs. The second end of the body has a forked spring with a first and a second fork leg defining therebetween a receiving slot for receiving and contacting a flat blade plug. Each one of the fork legs consists of two independently elastically deflectable leaf springs. Each one of the leaf springs has at least one contact zone projecting inwardly into the receiving slot. The contact zones of the two leaf springs of each one of the fork legs are located laterally relative to the longitudinal center line.

Abstract: In an electrical desired-value transmitter, particularly for an electronic gas pedal system, a return spring (5) as well as a force elastic jump spring (15) arranged parallel to it are provided. The desired-value transmitter has an electric path converter which gives off an electrical desired-value signal. In order to verify the proper operation of the return spring, a contact spring (9) of a first safety switch contact (10) acts on it in such a manner that the force of the return spring is transmitted to the contact spring. In the event that the return spring is broken, the safety switch contact assumes a position which is characteristic of this and gives off a corresponding signal which can reduce the output of the engine. The electric path converter may be a potentiometer.

Abstract: In an electric set-point transmitter for automotive vehicles, particularly for gas-pedal systems, having an actuating element and a resistance element which is connected to the actuating element, there is provided within the electric set-point transmitter which forms a structural unit, an electric circuit which comprises an impedance transformer and possibly a stabilization circuit and threshold switch. The resistance element is preferably a conductive-plastic potentiometer, whereby good reliability and the possibility of use at high temperatures are obtained.
