Publication number: 20240055795Abstract: An electrical device includes a device housing; at least one circuit carrier having electrical conducting tracks; and a plurality of plug connectors, each of which includes a contact carrier having a plurality of contact chambers extending all the way through and comprises a plurality electrical plug contacts. The plug contacts each have, at their plugging-side end, a plugging region for the plugging-side connection to the mating contacts of a mating plug plugged to the plug connector in question and each have, at their connection-side end, a connection region (23), at which the plug contacts are electrically connected to the conducting tracks of the circuit carrier. Each plug contact is at least partly received in one of the contact chambers of the contact carrier in question and is retained therein. The electrical device also has a device connection part, which forms a housing part of the device housing, the device connection part being integral with the contact carriers.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventor: Rainer BUSSMANN

Publication number: 20230280552Abstract: In order to simplify mounting and cabling of optoelectronic plug connectors (3, 3?) and—equipped therewith—subdistribution units (6) and subdistribution systems, the use of special module housings (100) is proposed. The latter can accommodate a plurality of, in particular eight, identical and/or different optoelectronic transducers (2, 2?) and are installed in the plug connectors (3, 3?) between the electrical plug contacts (311) and the multi-core optical cables (58), i.e. the cores (51) thereof. Susceptibility to errors is considerably improved as a result and mounting is significantly simplified as a result of the improved clarity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2021Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: HARTING Electronics GmbHInventors: Andreas SCHWARZ, Rainer BUSSMANN, Marc GENAU

Patent number: 10218100Abstract: A connector for installation on a printed circuit board a contacting part has which includes at least two contact elements, each of which can be connected, on the connection side, to an individual conductor and, on the plug-in side, to a conductive track of the printed circuit board, wherein the connector a connection part which encloses the individual conductors and, in the region of each individual conductor, has a recess, into each of which a contact element engages for the electrical connection between individual conductor and contact element. The contacting part is formed in an injection molding process, wherein at least two contact elements having an insulation-displacement connector are inserted or engaged in the contacting part or are directly encapsulated, and the connection part is formed in an injection molding process, wherein at least two individual conductors, each having a cable sheath, are thus placed in an injection molding tool and are encapsulated.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: HARTING ELECTRONICS GMBHInventors: Rainer Bussmann, Marc Lindkamp

Patent number: 10090607Abstract: A connection apparatus for electrical cables is provided. In this case, the connection apparatus is intended to engage around a hose, wherein the connection apparatus is formed from two half-shells which are connected to one another in an articulated manner. In addition, at least one contact element, which is designed to make contact with the electrical cables, is arranged on the connection apparatus. The electrical cables can be connected to the contact elements by means of a pressure piece. As an alternative, the contact elements can be arranged such that, when the connection apparatus is locked, the contact elements are connected to the electrical cables at the same time. In this case, the electrical cables in the second half-shell can be arranged in conductor receptacles such that the contact elements on the first half shell enter the connection apparatus when said connection apparatus is closed.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: HARTING Electronics GmbHInventors: Marc Lindkamp, Hanno Wolff, Rainer Bussmann
