  • Publication number: 20240106165
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a housing assembly for an electrical connector which is pluggable with a mating connector, comprising a manually movable operating element for connecting the electrical connector to the mating connector, a connector housing at which the operating element is arranged to be movable between an initial position and a final position, a securing element which is movable between a release position and a secured position, and a trigger mechanism which holds the securing element in the release position pre-stressed in the direction of the secured position, where the trigger mechanism is activated in the final position of the operating element, and the securing element is movable to the secured position, whereby the operating element is securable in the final position.

  • Patent number: 11916339
    Abstract: A contact carrier includes a carrier body receiving a plurality of contacts and a fastening element fastening the carrier body to a carrier element. The fastening element includes a first clamping element connected to the carrier body, a second clamping element formed on the carrier body in a shiftable manner and opposite the first clamping element, and a locking device locking the second clamping element in a position relative to the first clamping element. A distance between the first clamping element and the second clamping element can be varied by a relative movement of the second clamping element in relation to the first clamping element. The first clamping element and the second clamping element, by the locking device, exert a clamping force onto the carrier element arranged between the first clamping element and the second clamping element to hold the carrier element.

  • Publication number: 20240039212
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical plug connector and a mating plug connector. The electrical plug connector includes a connector housing, and a housing interlock element movable relative to the connector housing between a pre-latched position and a final latched position. The housing interlock element includes a switching element. The mating plug connector is securable to the connector housing via the housing interlock element, and includes a receiving element adapted to receive the housing interlock element. The receiving element comprises two electrical contacts of an electrical interlock circuit. The switching element is adapted to electrically connect the two electrical contacts when the housing interlock element is moved into the final latched position.

  • 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: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220255267
    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.
