  • Patent number: 12160066
    Abstract: A connector module, including: a housing, a connector, which is arranged in the housing, at least in part, and which has a longitudinal axis in a connecting direction to a mating connector, wherein an axial outer face of the connector with respect to the longitudinal axis is radially spaced from an opposing axial inner face of the housing, at least in part, and a sealing element, in which the sealing element is arranged in the radial clearance formed between the axial outer face of the connector and the opposing axial inner face of the housing and forms a sealing face with the axial outer face of the connector and the opposing axial inner face of the housing in each case. A related connector and method are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240375626
    Abstract: A brake control module includes: a first brake-control-valve (BCV), the output of which is connected to at least one controlled port; a second BCV, the output of which is connected to a third controlled port; a third BCV, the output of which is connected to a fourth controlled port; a processor unit, which is adapted to control and/or influence brake pressures; at least one control port, which is adapted to activate at least one of the BCVs; in which the first BCV is connected to a first compressed air supply port, and the second BCV and the third BCV are connected to a second compressed air supply port. The brake control module allows the front and rear axle brake cylinders to be activated. Only one processor unit is required, which is in the central brake control module, and much of the wiring is eliminated.
