Abstract: An insulation displacement multipoint connector for electrical plug connectors includes connection elements which form at one end thereof an insulation displacement termination area for a connection of electrical conductors without requiring stripping and, at the other end, a plug contact area for a multipoint counter connector. The insulation displacement termination area has flat, slotted insulation displacement terminals. The connection elements are arranged such that for one row of plug contacts of the connection elements embedded next to each other, the insulation displacement terminals of these connection elements are located in several rows in the insulation displacement multipoint connector.

Abstract: A housing of an electrical plug-in connector having a high-current socket. The high-current socket is formed by a contact segment consisting of contact tongues, an intermediate segment, and an attachment segment, whereby the material thickness of the attachment segment is greater than the material thickness of the intermediate segment and the contact segment. A counter-contact surface for interaction with this change in the material thickness, which is configured in the form of a step, is provided in the housing. Furthermore, the high-current socket is fixed in place in the housing by means of resilient tongues on the intermediate segment, and a catch projection in the recess in the housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided having a header connector and a receptacle connector matable with one another. An array of signal contacts are secured to the header connector and arranged in differential contact pairs. The differential contact pairs are configured to carry differential signal pairs. An array of L-shaped ground shields are secured to the header connector. Optionally, a second side may be added to the L-shape to form a C-shaped ground shield. Each ground shield is arranged to partially surround and isolate a corresponding differential contact pair from adjacent differential contact pairs. The receptacle contact includes a mating face having an array of contact receiving holes and ground shield receiving notches. The contact receiving holes are arranged in differential hole pairs corresponding to, and matable with, the differential contact pairs. The ground shield receiving notches are configured to be matable with the ground shields.

Abstract: A connection system for two electrical components, in particular for plugs, multipoint plugs and female multipoint connectors as well as plug-in cards, circuit boards and similar things, has a pin (1), arranged at the first component, and a socket (2) for receiving the pin (1), arranged at the second component. The pin (1) penetrates an opening at the wall section (3) of the first component and is attached with a nut (5) that can be screwed onto the pin (1) at the rear side of this wall section (3). The pin (1) is furnished with a flange (6) that projects over the pin (1) at its circumferential surface. The flange (6) is inserted into a recess of a spacer plate (7) complementary to the flange (6), and the spacer plate (7) is arranged at the wall section (13) of the first component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connection with shielding, preferably comprising a male multipoint connector and female multipoint connector, with a plurality of contact elements (4; 41), which are provided at least in pairs with shieldings in the form of shield plates (3; 31). The contact elements (4; 41) are disposed in a plurality of parallel rows. The shield plates (3; 31) embrace two or more contact elements (4; 41) of at least two rows (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d). Thus two plug connectors can be connected to one another at an angle of 90° relative to one another, or can be pushed from two sides onto a printed-circuit board (6).

Abstract: A shielded plug-in connector has a jack-in-blade strip having at least one first contact element and an edge connector having at least one second contact element corresponding to the first contact element. The edge connector, on or in its outer body areas, has at least partially shielding sheets. Shielding of the plug-in connector is achieved by, in addition to the shielding sheets provided on the edge connector, a shielding group with at least one first element arranged in the jack-in-blade strip. The first element of the shielding group is a base part in the form of a U-shaped rail. The shielding sheets on the edge connector have a planar body and angled stays. Two of the angled stays and a portion of the planar body between the two angled stays form a counterpart to the base part, wherein the counterpart and the base part together substantially encapsulate the first and second contact elements.
