  • Publication number: 20210344128
    Abstract: A plug connector for flexible conductor films having film-insulated conductors, having a plug connector housing, in which at least one plug contact element is arranged, and having a coupling region, in which blades electrically conductively connected to the at least one plug contact element penetrate and fix at least one film-insulating conductor by producing an electrical contact, wherein the plug connector housing comprises two housing parts that can be fitted together, whose first housing part supports the blades and the at least one plug contact element electrically conductively connected to them, and whose second housing part receives and supports the flexible conductor film and has the at least one blade receiver adjusted to the blades, whose boundary surfaces are formed in such a way that at least one part of the blades is bent when fitting the two housing parts together in the direction of the film-insulated conductor, wherein at least one part of the blades is formed flexibly.

  • Patent number: 10044144
    Abstract: A plug connector which comprises contact elements that are subdivided into at least one signal contact element and at least one shielding contact element, and a component having an electrical circuit ground. The plug connector and the component are characterized by an ohmic resistance which connects the shielding contact element to the electrical circuit ground. The measure suppresses parasitic oscillations.

  • Patent number: 9131632
    Abstract: A multipole relief plug-in Connector includes contact elements, the contacting sections of which are arranged in height-offset contact area surfaces, and a multilayer circuit board includes several height-offset contact area surfaces accordingly. In combination, the multipole relief plug-in connector contacts the multilayer circuit board and the multilayer circuit board populates the multipole relief plug-in connector. The contact elements of the relief plug-in connector are designed in the contacting section as press-in contacts for pressing into press-in contact receiving portions of the multilayer circuit board. Contact element receiving portions of the multilayer circuit board are arranged in the contact area surfaces of the multilayer circuit board, the contact element receiving portions being designed as press-in contact receiving portions. A production method produces the multilayer circuit board.

  • Patent number: 7275315
    Abstract: A method for repair soldering of multi-pole miniature plug connectors on printed circuit boards, having signal contact pins in the SMT design and shroud pins in the THR design. The plug connectors have shrouds whose shroud pins project out on the back of the printed circuit board. Preforms are glued onto the SMD signal contact pins, and the repair plug connectors are set into THR holes of the board with their shroud pins. The signal contact pins are soldered using SMT technology. Subsequently, the shroud pins are soldered from the back of the board. The solder connects with the solder eyes of the solder holes on the back of the board, as well as flows into the ring gap between the metallized inside walls of the solder holes and the shroud pins in the circuit board, and produces a material-lock connection. Finally, the shroud pins that project out are shortened.
