  • Patent number: 7901245
    Abstract: The invention relates to an angle connector that is to be mounted on a unit housing and comprises a plug housing and a housing flange which partially extends over the plug housing and can be fastened in a rotationally fixed manner to the unit housing. The plug housing is rotatably fastened to the housing flange and can be twisted, using rotational resistance, relative to the housing flange in order to define the direction of extension. The plug housing of the disclosed angle connector is rotatably mounted on the housing flange by means of an elastic sleeve which is rotatably accommodated inside an annular front recess of the plug housing or housing flange and engages in a rotationally fixed manner with the respective associated housing flange or plug housing.

  • Publication number: 20090170364
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector, comprising a connector part and a mating connector part which can be plugged together, and a coupling ring, carried by the connector part, for screwing the connector part with a threaded sleeve of the mating connector part. An outer thread of the threaded sleeve and a correspondingly configured inner thread of the coupling ring have at least one unthreaded section each in the direction of insertion. The respective unthreaded and threaded sections are configured and arranged in such a manner that the threaded sections of the coupling ring and the threaded sleeve can be inserted into the respective unthreaded section of the other connector part in order to plug the connector and mating connector together.

  • Patent number: 7331807
    Abstract: Electrical plug-in connection (1), having a plug part (2) and a mating plug part (3), which can be plugged together and produce a large number of electrical plug-in connections, at least the plug part (2) or the mating plug part (3) bearing, on its body (19, 24), a union nut (4), which can be screwed to the mating plug part (3) or the plug part (2) and secures the plug-in connection (1) against becoming disconnected in an undesirable manner. The union nut (4) has, at both of its ends, an internal thread (28, 7) for simultaneously screwing it to the plug part (2) and the mating plug part (3), the internal threads (7, 28) being formed in the opposite direction.

  • Publication number: 20060172580
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector comprises a simple and inexpensive rotation-securing element for the union nut of a water-tight plug connection which ensures reliable connection in the event of shocks and vibration, and in the process produces different values for the tightening torque and loosening torque of the screwed connection. The plug connector has a threaded union nut which is screwed to its plug housing and is secured against unintentional rotation with respect to the housing by two mutually engaging locking toothed rings having an asymmetric, sinusoidal toothed profile. The locking toothed ring which is attached to a fixing ring for the union nut is segmented, is elastically sprung and contains additional latching elements for preferred positions of the union nut.

  • Patent number: 6425776
    Abstract: A circular plug and socket connector is provided for producing electrical line connections and comprises a housing, accommodating and holding, in the region of one of its ends, an insulating base as a contact carrier and, in the region of its other end, a sealing cable lead-in and a covering cap, which makes a screwed connection with a second half of a covering ring of complementary configuration and is mechanically fixed to the housing. The housing has an overall cylindrical external periphery with at least one bearing surface assigned to the coupling ring and is overlapped, in part by the coupling ring and in part by a pot-shaped handle part having an opening in its bottom for the introduction of a cable.
