Patent number: 11569603Abstract: An electrical contact for mating with a mating contact includes an aluminum body extending along a longitudinal axis and formed of an aluminum or an aluminum alloy, a contact zone disposed on a surface of the aluminum body and adapted to be electrically connected to a mating contact, and a contact spring connected to the aluminum body and having a contact region contacting the mating contact. The aluminum body has a connecting portion adapted to be connected to an aluminum conductor. The contact zone is formed from a material that is more creep-resistant than the aluminum body. The contact spring at least partially rests on the contact zone and is formed from a material that is harder than the aluminum body.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Volker Seipel, Waldemar Stabroth

Publication number: 20220126715Abstract: A high-current contact device includes a contact element and a cooling device. The cooling device has a coolant container thermally connected to the contact element, an absorber container arranged at a distance from the coolant container and the contact element, a fluid line extending between the coolant container and the absorber container, and a valve arranged in the fluid line. The coolant container has a coolant and the absorber container has an absorber material. The coolant container is fluidly connected to the absorber container in a valve open position and is fluidly separated from the absorber container in a valve closed position. The coolant changes to a gaseous phase in the coolant container to cool the contact element. The fluid line conveys the coolant in the gaseous phase from the coolant container to the absorber container, and the absorber material absorbs the coolant in the gaseous phase.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2021Publication date: April 28, 2022Applicant: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Ruediger Meier, Waldemar Stabroth, Volker Seipel

Patent number: 11081824Abstract: A contact element comprises a contact box extending in a longitudinal direction of the contact element and delimiting a receptacle. The contact box includes a first box section, a second box section, a third box section arranged opposite the first box section, and a fourth box section arranged opposite the second box section. The second box section and the fourth box section each connect the first box section to the third box section. The first box section and the third box section are each configured in an elastic manner and the second box section and the fourth box section are each configured in a rigid manner. The second box section and the fourth box section are each inclined with respect to the first box section.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Helge Schmidt, Waldemar Stabroth

Patent number: 7988505Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal for an electrical connector. The terminal includes, an outer body, a connector section, a crimping section, a contact retention section, a contact receiving area, and at least one main contact spring. The connector section is positioned to receive an pin that is insertable into the terminal. An electrical conductor is attachable in an electrically conductive manner to the crimping section. The outer body is retained in the contact retention section and fitted as a separate component. The at least one main contact spring includes a free end and at least one support area, and projects into the contact receiving area for the pin. Furthermore, the at least one main contact spring provides a contact force on the pin along a main spring path extending substantially transversely to the insertion direction of the connector section. The at least one main contact spring extends substantially in the insertion direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2010Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Gheorghe Hotea, Hannes Wendling, Waldemar Stabroth, Stefan Glaser

Patent number: 5954548Abstract: Bush-like and plug-like contact elements and plug-in connectors which contain such contact elements. The contact elements have, on one front box section which is provided for insertion into a chamber of a plug-in connector body, a first latching element which can make a latching connection with a complementary second latching element of the plug-in connector body, in order to hold the contact element non-displaceably in the body. The first latching element is arranged on a flexible tongue of the box section, which tongue can move perpendicularly with respect to the plugging-in direction in order to release the latching connection.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1997Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Framatome Connectors InternationalInventor: Waldemar Stabroth
