  • Patent number: 10256560
    Abstract: A flat contact socket comprises a connection section and a socket body connected to the connection section. The socket body has a flat contact receptacle and a blocking element. The flat contact receptacle extends along a flat contact plane and receives a flat contact in an insertion direction at an insertion opening of the flat contact receptacle. The blocking element is positioned opposite the insertion opening in the insertion direction and delimits the flat contact receptacle in the insertion direction. The blocking element extends transverse to the insertion direction from a cantilever extending in the insertion direction.

  • Patent number: 10236612
    Abstract: A flat contact socket comprises a connection section and a socket body connected to the connection section. The connection section has a continuous connection surface electrically connected to an electrical conductor. The socket body has a plurality of extensions connected to the socket body and a flat contact receptacle into which a flat contact can be inserted. The flat contact receptacle extends along a flat contact plane. The extensions are spaced apart from one another adjacent the socket body and extend away from the socket body to form the continuous connection surface.

  • Patent number: 8814598
    Abstract: The invention relates to a contact means (100) for attaching an end of a cable (110). The contact means (100) has a casing (300) with an inner chamber (320) for receiving a section of the cable (110) in the region of the cable end, and a pull relief element (200, 201, 202, 203) which can be fastened to the casing (300) in the inner chamber (320), with a pull relief section (220, 221, 222, 223) and at least one contacting section (240, 241). The pull relief section (220, 221, 222, 223) is formed to fix a cable sheath (120) of the cable (110). The contacting section (240, 241) is formed to contact a shield (130) of the cable (110).

  • Patent number: 7824207
    Abstract: A plug-in connector is provided that can be released easily and reliably from an assigned mating connector, and has increased lifetime. The plug-in connector includes a plug head and a sliding sleeve. The plug head has a hollow body with at least one cable connector, and at least two locks located on at least one surface of the body. The locks are connected by a bridge, and extend in a sliding direction. Each lock includes at least one free end. The sliding sleeve includes an opening to receive the plug head in a sliding direction and is movable in an axial direction relative to the plug head. An unlocking element is located on an inner side of the opening and positioned to contact the bridge of the plug head. The unlocking element pushes against the locks when the sliding sleeve moves in the sliding direction.
