  • Patent number: 5525078
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector for the telecommunications and data transfer includes RJ contacts disposed in a housing and insulation displacement contacts and contact strips connecting the insulation displacement contacts. Shielding of a h.f. cable is provided using a shield contact that can be terminated at the plug connector whereby the cable shield of the h.f. cable can be connected to ground potential, or can be conducted on, and that the contact between the shield contact and the cable shield is established by means of a clamp connection.

  • Patent number: 5299098
    Abstract: The invention relates a distribution rack, for cable distribution devices used in telecommunication and data technology. The distribution rack includes at least one base portion 1 and at least one swing frame 3 provided with termination modules 4 and pivotingly supported at the base portion 1 about a swing axis 13 provided at one side thereof. In order to improve the accessibility to the cable duct behind the swung-in swing frame and to facilitate wiring of the cutting and clamping contact elements 5 of the termination modules 4 with cable cores, the invention provides that the swing axis 13 of the swing frame 3 at the base portion 1 is retractably supported. Thereby, with the swing frame 3 retracted and swung-out, fully free accessibility to the cable duct 42 beside the base portion and behind the swing frame 3 is made possible. Further, the cutting and clamping contact elements 5 of the termination modules 4 on the swing frame 3 are particularly easily accessible.

  • Patent number: 5033974
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector device for telecommunication and data systems, comprising a plug connector 1 and a connector bank 30. The connector bank 30 is formed of a housing with insulation displacement contacts 31 connected each to switching contacts 6. The plug connector 1 comprises a housing 2 with a connector tongue 4 supported therein and has contact tracks 5 on either side which can be inserted between two switching contacts 5 opposed to each other of the connector bank 30. The exterior distance B of two contact tracks 5 being smaller than the interior distance A between two stitching contacts 6.The plug connector 1 is provided such that there is no abrasion between the contact tracks 5 of the plug connector 1 and the switching contacts 5 of the connector bank 30 during the insert procedure. After the insert procedure, a contact connection with a sufficiently high contact force is established between the contact tracks 5 and the switching contacts 6.
