  • Patent number: 6383004
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection element for the connecting of electrical leads which are provided in particular for motor vehicles and which comprise a plurality of parallel individual conductors which are connected to a common strip-like carrier, comprising an upper part and a lower part, each of which having at least one clamping surface. The clamping surfaces face one another in such a manner that in the connected state, two overlapping leads with mutually facing contact regions are clamped in between the clamping surfaces. The invention further relates to a method for the replacement of electrical components which are in particular provided for motor vehicles with the help of a connection element in accordance with the invention.

  • Patent number: 6179658
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement (10) between an electrical connector (12) and an electrical conductor (14), such as an FPC, in which the electrical conductor extends through an aperture (18) in a housing (16) of the electrical connector, the sealing arrangement being positioned adjacent the aperture and comprising a flap member (22) which is pivotally mounted and movable between an open position and a closed position, the flap member being positioned on one side of the electrical conductor; a wall (20) positioned on the opposite side of the electrical conductor to the flap member; and a compressible seal (24) positioned around the electrical conductor; wherein, in the closed position of the flap member, the flap member, the wall and the electrical conductor lie in planes which are substantially parallel; and the seal is compressed between the flap member and the wall and partially extruded into the aperture. Easy assembly. FIG. 2 to accompany the abstract.

  • Patent number: 5829880
    Abstract: In a media conducting device which effects a temperature measurement of the medium is used a media conducting pipe 11 with a lateral exit on which is arranged a group of sensors. This component group includes a sensor housing with electric temperature sensor 40 with two contact pins 27, 28 projecting from the sensor housing. In order to develop an inexpensive, space-saving device it is proposed to provide the pipe 11 with a one-piece connecting piece 12. This results in a T-pipe combination 10. The moulded-on connecting piece 12 thus forms the essential part of the sensor housing, whilst the remainder of the sensor housing consists of a stopper 30. This stopper 30 is a constituent part of a plug unit 20 which serves merely as support for the contact pins 21, 22 and the temperature sensor 40 connected thereto.
