  • Publication number: 20250279618
    Abstract: A housing assembly for an electrical connector having a shielding sleeve made of electrically conductive material. The shielding sleeve includes a central receptacle that axially penetrates the shielding sleeve for receiving at least one shielded cable. At least one contact sleeve module made of electrically conductive material is inserted into the central receptacle. The at least one contact sleeve module has at least one passage opening for the at least one shielded cable and is provided with at least one contact section for contacting a shielding of the at least one shielded cable and is frictionally affixed in the shielding sleeve when in the assembled state.

  • Publication number: 20250260132
    Abstract: A contact adapter comprises a central contact adapter extending in the axial direction and having a bottom surface for attachment to a central terminal of the battery, an opposite tip for passing through a central contact opening of the busbar, and a side surface extending between the tip and the bottom surface having a central contacting portion for contacting a central terminal of the central contact opening of the busbar in a radial direction. The contact adapter comprises a peripheral contact adapter for arranging around the central contact adapter, the peripheral contact adapter having a bottom plate for attaching to an annular terminal of the battery and a hollow contact cylinder, having a peripheral contacting portion for contacting a peripheral terminal of a peripheral contact opening of the bus bar in the radial direction. The central contact height is greater than the peripheral contact height.

  • Patent number: 11677202
    Abstract: A contact ring including a ring-shaped structure formed of an electrically conductive material. The ring-shaped structure has a plurality of projections on at least one side and a plurality of blades on at least one side. The projections and the blades penetrate an electrically insulating surface layer of each of a pair of contact elements and contact an electrically conductive material of each of the contact elements to electrically connect the contact elements.

  • 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.
