  • Publication number: 20230178925
    Abstract: A plug-in contact device for preventing or extinguishing an arc when separating or closing a direct current connection includes: at least one plug-in connector each having a main contact, HA, and an auxiliary contact, HI, the HA including a first contact half, HA1, and a second contact half, HA2, which are releasably plugged together. The HA: electrically conductively connects the HA1 and the HA2 in a plugged-together state of the respective plug-in connector, galvanically separates the HA1 and the HA2 in a released state of the respective plug-in connector, electrically conductively connects the HA1 and the HA2 in a first intermediate state of the respective plug-in connector between the plugged-together state and the released state, and galvanically separates the HA1 and the HA2 in a second intermediate state of the respective plug-in connector between the first intermediate state and the released state.

  • Publication number: 20230144954
    Abstract: An electrical and/or optical plug connection has a first plug connector and a second plug connector which can be fit to the first plug connector and which corresponds to the first plug connector. The first and second plug connectors each have a plug face which has a first sheet metal contact and a corresponding second sheet metal contact which can be fit together in an electrically contacting manner. The plug connectors further include first and second optical and/or electrical plug contacts which are fit together and which arranged with spacing from the first and second sheet metal contacts. A latching hook having a latching hook and latching arm is provided on the first plug connector and a corresponding latching recess having a latching edge is provided on the second plug connector. A hook portion (1 of the latching hook is connected to the latching arm via a bending line which deviates from a straight line and has a raised 3D shaped surface region with at least one open side.

  • Publication number: 20230129127
    Abstract: A plug-in connector for connecting to a mating plug-in connector includes: a contact receiving body, in which at least one contact element for connecting to a mating contact element of the mating plug-in connector is received; a cable receiving body connected to the contact receiving body, in which a cable for connecting to the at least one contact element of the contact receiving body is receivable; and a latching device, which is spring-elastic at least in regions, via which the plug-in connector is latchable to the mating plug-in connector. The latching device has a first end via which the latching device is connected to a plug-in face of the contact receiving body. The latching device has a second end opposite the first end. A first latching arm and a second latching arm are formed on the second end. The first and second latching arms in a latching position are latched.

  • Publication number: 20210184400
    Abstract: A plug-in connector part connectable to a mating connector part so as to form a plug-in connection includes: a housing; and an elastically deformable locking component embodied separately from the housing, which reversibly locks to a locking contour of the mating connector part during a creation of the plug-in connection. The locking component is at least partially arranged in the housing of the plug-in connector part and has a section that is curved around a longitudinal axis of the plug-in connector part, which is parallel to the plug-in direction, and has at least one locking region and at least one unlocking region. The locking component is prestressed in a closed position and is elastically radially outwardly expandable into an open position in the locking region by an action of a radially inwardly oriented force on the unlocking region.

  • Publication number: 20130012054
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric plug, in particular a charging plug for a motor vehicle, comprising a housing and a handle for holding the electric plug, wherein the housing comprises a plug-in section, a cable connection opening and a cable conduit, the plug-in section comprises a plurality of electric contacts for plugging into a socket with contacts. A cable can be routed in the cable conduit from the cable connection opening to the plug-in section and can be electrically contacted there to the electric contacts. The cable connection opening may be arranged in a region between the plug-in section and the end of the gripping section which is remote from the plug-in section. In this way, the electric plug that is provided is such that heating of the handle can be avoided and the electric plug can also be used well and ergonomically by smaller individuals.
