  • Patent number: 11233347
    Abstract: A plug connector assembly includes first and second plug connector parts. The first plug connector part is arranged on a printed circuit board (PCB) and includes first contact elements. The second plug connector part includes a base body and second contact elements held by the base body. The first and second contact elements are connected when the first and second plug connector parts are connected. Stamped/bent parts are positioned on respective sides of the first plug connector part and are connected to the PCB. When the plug connector parts are fully connected, an electrical connection is established between at least one stamped/bent part and a contact element of the second plug connector part, or alternatively, an electrical connection is established between the two stamped-bent parts. The electrical connections in each case are suitable for electronically recognizing and/or monitoring the connection of the plug connector parts.

  • Patent number: 11101599
    Abstract: A plug connector assembly includes a first plug connector part arranged on a printed circuit board (PCB) and a second plug connector part. Stamped/bent parts are positioned next to respective sides of the first plug connector part and are fastened to the PCB. In one variation, each stamped/bent part forms a spring arm, and when the plug connector parts are connected, end sections of the spring arms engage in respective detent recesses (or notches) in a base body of the second plug connector part thereby fixing the plug connector parts together. In another variation, each stamped/bent part has a detent recess, and a base body of the second plug connector part has spring arms on respective sides of the base body which lock with the detent recesses in the stamped/bent parts when the plug connector parts are connected thereby fixing the plug connector parts together.
