Abstract: A method for mounting a multiple-contact press-fit connector. A press-fit contact is positioned above four metallized bores made in a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes a printed circuit corresponding to the dimensions of the four pins of the press-fit contact. The press-fit contact is installed by a predetermined pressure from an insert on a flange of the press-fit contact. The method repeats these steps of positioning and installing the press-fit contact.

Abstract: An electrical connector with electromagnetic shielding includes a connector housing containing an insert configured to receive at least one electrical contact. The connector housing includes a connector body with a substantially cylindrical shape having a rear section, a central section and a front section. A ground ring is mounted around the front section of the connector body. A foolproofing section independent of the connector body is mounted at least partly around the front section of the connector body.

Abstract: A connection system includes a base (20) that can be mounted through a wall (11) of an electronics unit (10), the base (20) being provided with electric pin contacts (24) that come out into the electronics unit and whose ends are connected electrically to a printed circuit (50) of the electronics unit. This base (20) is equipped with a holding plate (40), mounted around electric pin contacts (24) and around a back part (21) of the base and, provided with catch elements (42) that can be fitted into the printed circuit, so that the base is integral with the printed circuit.

Abstract: A secure locking system includes: a case (10) having at least one transverse orifice (33) that opens to the surface of the case; a locking ring (20) having a notched wall (22), which can be locked at one end of the case; a spring (31) housed in the orifice of the case; a ball (32) installed at least partially in the orifice of the case, above the spring. The spring is made of a shape-memory material, which assumes: an elastic state when an environmental temperature is less than or equal to a critical temperature of the shape-memory material, this elastic state enabling movement of the ball in the orifice; or a hardened state when an environmental temperature is higher than the critical temperature of the shape-memory material, this hardened state preventing any movement of the ball in the orifice. A connector and connector assembly including the locking system are described.

Abstract: A mobile electric contact includes: a casing (51) in which there is mounted a mobile piston (58) providing an electrical connection and/or disconnection, a split sleeve (52) including a base (53) terminated by at least two lips (54), the piston being mounted slidingly between the two lips (54) of the split sleeve, characterized in that the casing (51) includes a first cavity (512) within which there is fixed the split sleeve (52), and a second cavity (511) within which there is placed a device (56) for shifting the mobile piston.

Abstract: A connector assembly including at least an insert (1), the insert including: a front part (11) and a rear part (10) made from a hard insulating material, joined together, at least one longitudinal housing (12) crossing through the front part (11) and the rear part (10) of the insert, this longitudinal housing (12) being capable of accommodating a female electrical contact (6), characterized in that the insert (1) includes at least one soft insulating material (20, 21) at least partially surrounding the female electrical contact (6) and absorbing the vibration of the female electrical contact.

Abstract: A connector includes a first connection element (2) provided with a portion of greater diameter (9) upstream to a portion of smaller diameter (10) and a second connection element (3) provided with a female contact element (14, 16) including a local narrowing of diameter (20), the narrowing being upstream to a contact piece (14) housed at the bottom of a cavity. During the connection between the two connection elements, the portion of greater diameter of the male contact element comes into contact with the local narrowing of diameter of the female contact element in the corresponding cavity, before the portion of smaller diameter of the male contact element comes into contact with the contact piece housed at the bottom of the cavity.

Abstract: A female electrical contact (100) has one connecting end (102) which is able to have two states, respectively a non-stressed state, and a stressed state, in which a connecting diameter is reduced, for receiving and maintaining the connection with a mating electrical contact. An annular gorge (107) in an undercut is provided on the wall (105) of the female electrical contact, such that in the non-stressed state, it has a tapered longitudinal cross-section, and in the stressed state, it has a straight longitudinal cross-section. A connector unit that includes at least one such contact, and a process for production are also described.
