Abstract: A safety element (10) for an electrical connector (100), wherein the safety element (10) is designed such that it is electrically insulating below a limit temperature (TLimit), and wherein the safety element (10) is designed such that it is electrically conductive above the limit temperature (TLimit)

Abstract: A vehicle-charging apparatus has a vehicle part fixed on a vehicle having a housing holding a respective set of fixed concentric circular contacts, a movable robot part having a housing holding a respective set of recessed concentric circular contacts complementary to the vehicle contacts, and an engagement guard movable relative to the housing and vehicle contacts and between a lower position in which the vehicle contacts are protected or and an upper position in which the contacts of the vehicle part are uncovered. A spring urges the engagement guard into the lowered position and the robot part is raised when aligned underneath the vehicle part for pressing the contacts of the robot part up against the engagement guard to uncover the vehicle contacts and engage the contacts of the robot part upwardly with the contacts of the vehicle part.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a plug connector and a cable (1) which is connected thereto and which has an inner conductor (2), a shielding (3), an insulation (4) between the inner conductor (2) and the shielding (3), and a jacket (5) pot which surrounds the aforementioned components, wherein a sleeve is added between the insulation (4) and the shielding (3) at a free IT end section of the cable (1), and a tubular component surrounds the shielding (3) and the sleeve.

Abstract: A device (1) for conductive charging, having a vehicle unit (2) that is fixedly mounted on a vehicle, and a stationary, but moveably mounted robot unit (3), wherein: the vehicle unit (2) can be operatively connected to the robot unit (3) in order to carry out the charging process; the two units (2, 3) each have a housing (4, 10) in which associated contact elements (5, 11) are disposed; in the robot unit (3), the contact elements (5) are recessed in the housing (4) of the robot unit (3); the contact elements (11) in the housing (10) of the vehicle unit (2) are fixed in place; and the vehicle unit (2) has a centering cone (24) and the robot unit (3) has a mating cone (25), or vice versa, as centering means which can be mutually operatively connected, characterised in that the tapering angles of the centering cone (24) and of the mating cone (25) are different.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connection (1) which consists of a plug connector (2) and a mating plug connector (3) that can be plugged together in order to form the plug connection (1), comprising a retraction aid which is arranged on a part of the plug connector (1) and which interacts with another part on the mating plug connector (3). The plug connector (1) and the mating plug connector (3) have a retraction aid, said retraction aid being actuated axially in the plug-in direction automatically when the plug connector and the mating plug connector are plugged together.
