Patent number: 12531375Abstract: A connection assembly of a connector comprises a connection housing, a locking element and a position assurance device. The connection housing is interconnectable with a counter connection housing along a connection axis. The locking element is movable between a locking position fixing the counter connection housing to the connection housing, and a release position releasing the counter connection housing from the connection housing. The position assurance device movable between a disconnection position, in which the position assurance device permits movement of the locking element from the locking position to the release position, and a blocking position, in which the position assurance device fixes the locking element in the locking position. The position assurance device is rotated about the connection axis on the connection housing when moving between the disconnection position and the blocking position.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 20, 2026Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Jurek Reuter, Konrad Helmut Roth, Markus Kressmann

Patent number: 7108566Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes first electrical contacts arranged in first and second contact zones. The second housing includes second electrical contacts arranged in first and second contact holders. The second contact holder is displaceable with respect to the second housing in a direction of mating when the first and second housings are mated. The second contact holder is displaceable between a first position where the second electrical contacts of the second contact holder mechanically engage the first electrical contacts and a subsequent second position where the second electrical contacts of the first contact holder mechanically engage the first electrical contacts.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Markus Kressmann, Guenther Mumper, Konrad Helmut Roth, Bart Van Sebroeck

Patent number: 6361362Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement with two half-plugs for securing in a wall, in which the first half-plug (1) has two elastic arms (2,3) on opposite sides. It also has a stop (5) as far as which the half-plugs may be inserted into an aperture in the wall (6). Each of the two elastic arms (2,3) has an engagement projection (7,8) fitted in such a way that the projections engage on the opposite side of the wall (6) to the stop (5) if the first half-plug (1) is inserted into the wall as far as the stop (5). The second half-plug (9) also has two projecting arms (10,11) which are fitted in such a way that, when the half-plugs (9,1) are fitted together, the arms (10,11) engage in the space between the elastic arms (2,3) and the plug housing and secure the first plug by fixing the spring arms in the wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1998Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Markus Kressmann, Andreas Machill

Patent number: 5857859Abstract: Electrical connectors having actuating slides, for connection to a second complementary connector, the actuating slide being attachable to an outer housing part of the first connector and the actuating slide interacting with the second connector, are known. The actuating slides often have a U-shaped design and are fastened to the outer housing part of the first connector. In order to ensure correct functioning of the actuating slide with the first connector, it is necessary for the actuating slide to be pushed onto the housing of the first connector from a specific direction. In order to achieve this, the outer housing part has guide means for guiding the actuating slide and the actuating slide has corresponding complementary means. The guide means and/or the actuating slide are/is configured in such a way that the actuating slide and the outer housing part can be joined together only from one side of the housing part.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1996Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Andreas Machill, Horst Gehrke, Markus Kressmann
