  • Publication number: 20260081375
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector with a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein a first electrical interface is formed on the first end portion and a second electrical interface is formed on the second end portion. The electrical plug connector furthermore has an extension axis (L) extending between the first interface and the second interface. The first interface and the second interface can each be connected to a corresponding mating interface of an electrical mating plug connector along a first plugging direction (S1) oriented transverse to the extension axis (L). Between the two end portions, a third electrical interface is configured for contacting at least one electrical conductor of an electrical circuit, in particular for contacting an electrical conductor of an electrical circuit of an electrical circuit board.

  • Patent number: 12294179
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug-in connector arrangement (1), having a first fastening element (5) that can be mounted on an assembly (2, 4) and having an electrical plug-in connector (7) that is connected to the first fastening element (5). Provision is made for the plug-in connector (7) to be connected to the first fastening element (5) in such a way that the plug-in connector (7) can be moved along at least one degree of freedom in translational movement (x, y, z). The plug-in connector (7) has a first guide means (14) in order to provide, together with an electrical mating plug-in connector (8), approximate guidance which positions the plug-in connector (7) and the mating plug-in connector (8) relative to one another in order to be plugged together.

  • Publication number: 20250132514
    Abstract: An electrical plug-in connector (2), having an electrical contact element (4) for electrical and mechanical contacting an electrical mating contact element (5) of an electrical mating plug-in connector (3). The contact element (4) has an operational contact face (6) and a sacrificial contact face (7) arranged on a circumferential surface. The sacrificial contact face (7) and the operational contact face (6) are arranged and designed so that in the course of plugging the plug-in connector (2) together with the mating plug-in connector (3), first the sacrificial contact face (7) contacts the mating contact element (5) and only then the operational contact face (6) contacts the mating contact element (5). The operational contact face (6) is arranged on a front face of the contact element (4) in order to contact the mating contact element (5) frontally.
