Publication number: 20220376435Abstract: A plug connector pluggable together with a counter connector includes a connector housing having a guiding member and a lever device. The lever device has a lever transferrable from a plug position to a securing position, a coupling that is movable by the lever to engage the counter connector, and a lever extension attached to the lever and extendable and/or retractable with respect to the lever. A swivel movement of the lever out of the securing position is blocked by the lever extension retracted with respect to the lever. The guiding member blocks a shifting of the lever extension if the lever is moved out of the plug position and is not in the securing position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Carsten Buck, Michael Schall

Patent number: 11087955Abstract: A system combination includes a particle beam system and a light-optical system. The particle beam system can be an individual particle beam system or a multiple particle beam system. A light entry mechanism can provided at a branching site of a beam tube arrangement within a beam switch. A light beam of the light-optical system can enter into the beam tube arrangement through the light entry mechanism such that the light beam impinges, in substantially collinear fashion with particle radiation, on an object to be inspected. Parts of the light-optical beam path and parts of the particle-optical beam path can extend parallel to one another or overlap with one another. This arrangement can allow light of the light-optical system to be incident in perpendicular fashion on an object to be inspected, optionally without impairing the particle-optical resolution of the particle beam system.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Carl Zeiss MultiSEM GmbHInventors: Dirk Zeidler, Michael Schall, Joerg Jacobi, Michel Le Maire

Patent number: 9614311Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for electrical contacting and a plug type connection comprising such an arrangement. The invention further relates to a method for joining an arrangement for electrical contacting to a counter-arrangement. An object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for electrical contacting, in which the risk of damage is as small as possible. This object is achieved by an arrangement for electrical contacting which comprises a resiliently redirectable contact arm having a contact face and a counter-element which can be displaced parallel with the contact arm, wherein the counter-element is displaced with respect to a start position (A) in a contact position (K) and the contact arm is thereby resiliently redirected transversely relative to the displacement direction (M) of the counter-element.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Dirk Duenkel, Michael Schall, Gregor Panitz
