  • Patent number: 12136788
    Abstract: A shielding spring contact includes a flat base portion having a top side and a cutout, and a shielding portion having a wall connected to the flat base portion and encircling the cutout. The wall has an outer side, an inner side, an upper side, and a lower side. The lower side of the wall is arranged on the top side of the flat base portion with the lower side of the wall laterally surrounding the cutout. The top side of the flat base portion bears against a bottom side of an assembly housing portion of a first plug-in connector and the shielding portion projects through a first passage opening in the assembly housing portion. The shielding portion projects through a second passage opening in a shielding housing wall and into a shielding housing of a second plug-in connector, bearing against the shielding housing wall.

  • Patent number: 12009617
    Abstract: A fixation device for fixing a contact element within a connector. The device includes a housing defining a contact element receptacle for receiving a contact element and a support face defining a deflection surface for supporting the contact element within the housing, and a clamping device for clamping the contact element in the contact element receptacle with a clamping force directed in a clamping direction. The deflection surface is oriented at an angle relative to the clamping direction such that it deflects a component or portion of the clamping force acting upon the contact element in a direction transverse to the clamping direction.

  • Patent number: 11855383
    Abstract: A cooling device for a connector element includes a cooling channel through which a cooling fluid can flow during operation and a bearing element holding the cooling channel. The cooling channel is a component separate from the bearing element and has a shape of a hollow duct engaging around the bearing element at least in a part of a circumference of the bearing element.

  • Patent number: 11784439
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a shielding contact. A gap running in a circumferential direction extends between the housing and the shielding contact. A mating housing of a mating connector is adapted to be inserted into the gap in a plugging direction. The gap opens in the plugging direction into a sealing section in which a sealing ring is retained axially between the shielding contact and the housing.

  • Patent number: 11626687
    Abstract: A connector housing for an electrical plug connector includes a cable duct and an oscillation suppressor pivotable about a pivot axis into the cable duct. The cable duct receives an electrical cable of a predefined outer diameter along a plug-in direction. The cable duct in a cross section perpendicular to the plug-in direction has a clear dimension in a pivoted state of the oscillation suppressor in the cable duct equal to or less than the predefined outer diameter of the electrical cable.

  • Patent number: 11515680
    Abstract: A contact system comprises a ground cylinder, a shielding cylinder press-fit with the ground cylinder, and a contact ring disposed between the ground cylinder and the shielding cylinder. The contact ring includes a strip of electrically conductive material defining a plurality of projections on at least one longitudinal side. The projections electrically contact the ground cylinder and the shielding cylinder for establishing an electrically conductive connection therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11462863
    Abstract: A plug-in connector element includes an electrically conductive contact element, a housing, a contact protection element, and a temperature sensor accommodated at least in part within the contact protection element. The contact protection element is disposed so that, between the housing and the contact protection element, access to the electrically conductive contact element is prevented for an object having a diameter above a defined value. The temperature sensor measures a temperature of the electrically conductive contact element.

  • Patent number: 11437164
    Abstract: An electrical cable includes a plurality of electrical lines extending from a first section to a third section through a second section. Each electrical line is enveloped by an insulating sheath. The electrical lines are arranged side-by-side in the first section in a first plane and in the third section in a third plane. The insulating sheath is integrally formed as a first insulating section in the first section and as a third insulating section in the third section. The insulating sheath is divided into a first further insulating section and a second further insulating section in the second section that are separated from each other by a gap. The first further insulating section is guided from the first insulating section to the third insulating section in a first arcuate path and the second further insulating section is guided from the first insulating section to the third insulating section in a second arcuate path.
