  • Patent number: 10070545
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical device (1) having a housing (2) and at least one receiving shaft (3), which is accessible from an outer side of the housing (2), for an electronic data storage means (4) which can be inserted into the receiving shaft (3) and, as a result, can make contact with electrical components arranged in the electrical device (1) and optionally can be removed again from the receiving shaft (3), wherein the receiving shaft (3) is surrounded at least partially by a recessed grip (5) on the outer side of the housing (2), which recessed grip is designed as a depression with respect to the outer contour of the housing (2), wherein at least one light exit opening (9) for light output by at least one electric light source (10) of the electrical device (1) is arranged within the recessed grip (5).

  • Patent number: 9474178
    Abstract: The invention describes an electronics device housing having two side wall elements, which are spaced apart from one another, for forming a housing having a housing interior for accommodating at least one printed circuit board, wherein at least one fitting location for conductor connection plug connectors is provided on at least one of the end faces in the intermediate space between the side wall elements. The electronics device housing has receiving devices in the region of the at least one fitting location, the receiving devices being designed to selectively receive—an ejector element, which can be pivotably mounted on the electronics device housing by the receiving devices, for ejecting a conductor connection plug connector from a fitting location, or—a locking element, which can be fixedly latched to the electronics device housing by of the receiving devices, for locking a conductor connection plug connector at a fitting location.

  • Patent number: 9373904
    Abstract: The invention describes a pin contact element (1) having a contact support (2) which is composed of insulating material and having at least two pin contacts (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) which are installed in the contact support (2). The pin contact element (1) is intended to be installed in an electronics device housing (13) and to be connected to a printed circuit board. The pin contacts (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) project from a platform (5) of the contact support (2) in order to receive a spring-force plug connector (19) by way of a straight contact section (4). The contact sections (4) of the pin contacts (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) are surrounded in a fixing region (6) of the platform (5) by the contact support (2) and the pin contacts (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) are secured in the contact support (2) in the fixing region.

  • Patent number: 9060427
    Abstract: An electronic device housing having a plug contact unit with contacts for making electrical contact with a connector which can be plug-mounted onto an associated plug contact unit is described. The plug contact unit has an ejector unit mounted to pivot about an axis and which has at least one ejector arm positionable in an intermediate space, which is provided in the plugged state of a plug connector on a plug contact unit, between the connector and the plug contact unit. The ejector unit has a strip extending along the axis and has a protruding cross section. The electronic device housing has a latching groove for pivotably mounting in each case one associated ejector unit, wherein the latching groove surrounds and pivotably mounts the associated strip over a circumference of more than 180°, the latching groove and the strip extending along the width of the ejector unit.
