Patent number: 11139609Abstract: A plug connector, in particular a modular plug connector, is provided for mounting on a circuit board. The plug connector can be assembled from a plurality of plug connector modules, wherein each plug connector module comprises at least one part. The plug connector modules have an insertion side and a connection side, wherein the insertion side can either be installed on the circuit board or else it contacts a connection side of a mating connector module. The plug connector modules can be connected by at least one connector. This makes it possible also to install modular plug connectors on a printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: HARTING Electronics GmbHInventor: Torsten Wolf

Patent number: 10290987Abstract: Disclosed is a linearly moveable sliding contact element having a transport device. Linearly moveable sliding contact elements of this type having a transport device are required to electrically contact conductor paths of circuit boards with one another, the circuit boards being oriented in parallel with one another and arranged above one another. In addition, the sliding contact element is arranged on a spindle of the transport device having an outer thread. Via a rotation of the transport device, the sliding contact element can be moved in a linear manner along the spindle by the outer thread. A first bearing and a second bearing are provided at the ends of the spindle. The bearings permit a mounting of the transport device between two circuit boards arranged in parallel with one another.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: HARTING ELECTRONICS GMBHInventors: Torsten Wolf, Dieter Rose
