  • Electric plug connector arrangement
    Patent number: 9787026
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes first and second connector parts and an electrical connection detector. The electrical connection detector includes a contact spring with a spring contact on the first connector part and a contact strip on the second connector part. The electric connection detector establishes an electrical connection between the contact spring and the contact strip when the connector parts are joined together. The second connector part includes an electrically insulating protrusion which forms a guide bevel that rises in a joining direction of the first connector part toward the second connector part. The spring contact is guided over the guide bevel, rests behind the protrusion, and physically contacts the contact strip when the connector parts are joined together to thereby establish an electrical connection between the contact spring and the contact strip.
