  • Patent number: 8827755
    Abstract: A high current connector for transmitting electrical currents with at least one contact element establishing an electric contact between an internal current guiding element and an external current guiding element, having a plurality of spring elements establishing an electric multipoint contact between the internal current guiding element and the external current guiding element. The contact element arranged in a housing together with the external guiding element so that said spring elements establish an electric contact with the external current guiding element on the radial outer side of the contact element and an internal guiding element can be inserted into the housing so that the spring elements establish a contact with the internal current guiding element on a radial inner side of the contact element. The housing overlaps the external current guiding element in the axial direction, having a radially inwardly rising housing section.

  • Patent number: 8821180
    Abstract: A plug-type connector having an external conductor part, at least one internal conductor part, and a housing, wherein a radially acting latching device for mechanically releaseably locking the plug-type connector in a plugged-in state is provided on an outer circumference of the housing, the latching device being produced from a spring-elastic material in the form of a ring which has a gap in the circumferential direction, wherein a bolt which can be moved between a locking position and a release position is arranged on the housing such that the bolt engages in the gap in the ring preventing radial compression of the ring in the locking position, and, in the release position, releases the gap in the ring so that the ring can be radially compressed when a stop edge runs onto one of the chamfers on the sides of the ring when the plug-connected state is established or released.

  • Patent number: 8043117
    Abstract: A coaxial plug connector arranged on or at a distance from the plug-sided end of the dielectric of the channel for the inner conductor part. The radial diameter of the channel in the plug-sided end direction narrows from a first to a second predetermined radial diameter. The inner conductor part has a first diameter and a second diameter, which is smaller than the first diameter and smaller than the second predetermined radial diameter. The first diameter is selected such that the inner conductor part fits into the first predetermined radial diameter and simultaneously, is greater than the second predetermined radial diameter, such that a collar is formed. The collar is arranged such that the inner conductor part is located at a predetermined axial position if the collar of the inner conductor part strikes the narrowing radial diameter of the channel.
