  • Patent number: 9819106
    Abstract: A male strip connector having a support element made of insulating material that has a base area section, a retaining section protruding transversely therefrom and, on the side of the retaining section that is opposite the base area section, a fixing section, and having a plurality of contact pins that have a plug contact section and a connection contact section angled off with respect thereto, is described. The retaining section has a plurality of insertion openings, arranged next to one another, for inserting a plug contact section of a contact pin. The fixing section has a plurality of recesses for holding a respective connection contact section of a contact pin. The retaining section has a plurality, corresponding to the number of insertion openings, of fingers that are separated from one another by free spaces and in which the insertion openings are made.

  • Patent number: 8430697
    Abstract: The plug-type connector with an insulating housing, with conductor insertion openings for inserting electrical conductors, which are aligned next to one another in a connection plane, extend in a plug-in direction and lead from a connection side into the interior of the insulating housing, with mating contact receiving openings for receiving mating contacts of a mating plug-type connector, which are aligned next to one another in a plug-in plane and extending from a plug-in side into the interior of the insulating housing, and with grooves in the insulating housing which extend in the plug-in direction. The grooves are arranged offset to the conductor insertion openings and the mating contact receiving openings and partially enter an interspace between adjacent conductor insertion openings. The grooves extend from the connection side to the plug-in side over the entire length of the plug-type connector.
