  • Publication number: 20240145950
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inner-conductor contact element for an angled connector. The present invention also relates to a method for producing this element. An inner-conductor contact element (1) for an angled connector (22) has a crimp region (3) which is designed to be connectable to an inner conductor (16) of a cable (17), and an interface region (2) which is designed to be connectable to an inner-conductor contact element of a counterpart connector corresponding to the angled connector. The inner-conductor contact element (1) also has a connection region (4) which connects the crimp region (3) to the interface region (2). The inner-conductor contact element is formed in one piece. The connection region (4) has a first transverse extent and a second transverse extent which is smaller, preferably many times smaller, than the first transverse extent.

  • Publication number: 20230291130
    Abstract: The invention relates to an outer-conductor contact element (2) for a right-angle plug connector (1). The right-angle plug connector (1) has a crimping portion (9) for pressing the outer-conductor contact element (2) onto an electric cable (4), said crimping portion (9) having a free end (10), which is open at the end side, for receiving the cable (4). The right-angle plug connector (1) further has a sleeve-like contact portion (12) having a free end (13), which is open at the end side, for establishing a connection with a corresponding mating plug connector, wherein an exit angle (?) is formed between a first longitudinal axis (L1) of the contact portion (12) and a second longitudinal axis (L2) of the crimping portion (9). The right-angle plug connector (1) also has a tub-shaped transition region (14) which, starting from the crimping portion (9), extends along the second longitudinal axis (L2) of the crimping portion (9) as far as the contact portion (12).

  • Publication number: 20230268676
    Abstract: A prefabricated electrical cable comprises an outer conductor shield and an insulation element. The insulation element has a first longitudinal section in which the insulation element is exposed from the outer conductor shield, and a second longitudinal section which adjoins the first longitudinal section and in which the insulation element is enclosed by the outer conductor shield. A cross-sectional area of the insulation element in the first longitudinal section is changed with respect to the cross-sectional area of the insulation element in the second longitudinal section in such a way that the first longitudinal section of the insulation element can be inserted into a first longitudinal section of an outer conductor contact element of an electrical plug connector, and the insulation element is calibrated to the outer conductor contact element.

  • Patent number: 11677166
    Abstract: An outer conductor contact element for a plug connector arrangement, having a fixing stop which engages behind a cable-side end face of a support sleeve and along a longitudinal axis (L) of the plug connector arrangement, and the cable-side end face is remote from a front, free end of the outer conductor contact element, and the fixing stop is formed in the outer conductor contact element by a male connector-side edge of a material cut-out in the outer conductor contact element that is proximate to a front, free end of the outer conductor contact element. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixing stop is formed by a separate stop element that is fastened to an inner wall of the outer conductor contact element. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixing stop is formed by a stamped shaping in the outer conductor contact element.

  • Publication number: 20210399512
    Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement method for producing an electric cable. According to the method, the front side end of a support sleeve secured to the cable is brought into contact with a reference stop of a reference device. The axial distance between the front end and an inner conductor part secured to an inner conductor of the cable and the reference stop is detected, and a connection distance (y) between the front end of the inner conductor part and the support sleeve front end facing the inner conductor part is derived from the axial distance.
