  • Publication number: 20210408737
    Abstract: A plug connector having a housing that includes at least one receptacle formed on the housing for securing a contact which is designed to contact a contact of a further plug connector that includes at least one shield plate. The shield plate has at least one freely protruding soldering portion which passes through a housing opening, a free end portion of the soldering portion being bent away from the receptacle or being bent in the direction of the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 11152723
    Abstract: An electrically conductive contact pin for press-fitting into a PCB in a Z-direction. The contact pin includes a press-fit zone with a central crosspiece area, and two wing areas adjacent to the crosspiece area, each crosspiece area having two ear areas. The crosspiece area is confined by a crosspiece rectangle and the ear regions are confined by ear rectangles. Corner points of the ear rectangles facing a center of the cross-sectional area coincide with corner points of the crosspiece rectangle. The crosspiece rectangle has a crosspiece width in an X direction of 9-29% of a starting thickness of the contact pin and a crosspiece thickness in a Y direction of 35-55% of the starting thickness. The ear rectangles have an ear width in the X-direction of 40-60% of the starting thickness and an ear thickness in the Y-direction of 15-35% of the starting thickness.
