Patent number: 10411392Abstract: A hybrid electrical connector includes a housing having a central opening, a carrier plate supported by the housing within the central opening, and electrically conductive pins supported within the housing by the carrier plate. The housing is formed of a first plastic material, and the carrier plate is formed of a second plastic material having properties that make it more dimensionally stable than the first plastic material. In addition, a sealing layer is applied to one surface of the carrier plate, the sealing layer formed of a third plastic material and serving to secure the carrier plate to the housing and to secure the pins within the carrier plate. A method of forming the electrical connector is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ligor Manushi, Mario Reyes, Hiram Avalos, Mark Ryskamp, Allison McInnis, Jens Oberender, Michael Schoenfeld, Alexander Moore, Robert Keller

Patent number: 9033735Abstract: A contact plug for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces is provided on both sides of a circuit board. The contact plug includes two flexibly interconnected contact carriers, which form, between each other, a plug receptacle for the circuit board and each have at least one contact element extending into the plug receptacle. A spring is provided whose two free spring legs engage over the two contact carriers i the insertion direction of the contact plug and bias them in the direction of each other. A control channel, which is formed between the two contact carriers nd laterally adjacent to the plug receptacle and, in cooperation with a control wedge provided on the circuit board, pivots the two contact carriers open in opposition to the action of the spring upon insertion of the circuit board. A seal seals the two contact carriers in a mating contact plug on the reverse side. The two free spring legs of the springengage over the two contact carriers in the insertion direction of the contact plug.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Timo Gaiser, Michael Schoenfeld, Lars Berger, Michael Fleig
