  • Patent number: 7988455
    Abstract: The invention relates to a co-axial plug-in-insertion connector which has a center conductor part, an outer conductor part, and an insulating part made of a dielectric material which holds the center conductor part co-axial to the outer conductor part, a coding housing being provided in which the outer conductor part and the center conductor part are arranged, the co-axial plug-in-insertion connector having an insertion end for connection to a complementary co-axial plug-in-insertion connector. Provision is made for the insulating part to be of a one-piece form with the housing.

  • Publication number: 20100261379
    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.

  • Patent number: 7652630
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle roof antenna (100) comprising an antenna housing (110) in which at least two antennae are arranged, wherein a first coaxial connector (114) is allocated to each antenna, and having a connector (200) which comprises a housing (210) and a number of second coaxial connectors (214) corresponding to the number of first coaxial connectors (114), said second coaxial connectors (214) being arranged at a plugging side of the housing (210) at pre-determined positions and with their respective longitudinal axes oriented parallel to a plugging direction of the connector (200), wherein every second coaxial connector (214) is allocated to a first coaxial connector (114) and is configured so as to be insertable into it.

  • Patent number: 7510433
    Abstract: A coaxial plug connector having a housing produced from an electrically insulating material, which is open at a plug end so that a mating coaxial plug connector can be inserted. An insertion area for the mating housing is provided. At a coaxial cable end, the housing has an axial opening for coaxial cable insertion. Inside the housing, an internal and external conductor elements for electrically connecting internal and external conductors of the coaxial cable, respectively, are provided. A snap-in mechanism is configured on the housing to fix the external conductor element in the housing in at least the axial direction. A sealing sleeve completely surrounds the external conductor element in the circumferential direction, and in the axial direction in at least an area that extends from a part of the housing at the coaxial cable end to the insertion area for the mating housing at the plug end.

  • Publication number: 20090042440
    Abstract: A coaxial connector for insertion of a complementary coaxial connector, in which a switching mechanism having an electrical contact is arranged and formed in the coaxial connector that the electrical contact is closed when there is not a complementary coaxial connector inserted in the coaxial connector, and the electrical contact is open when there is a complementary coaxial connector inserted in the coaxial connector, the arrangement made so that the switching mechanism has a cylindrical first conductor part which may be expanded and/or compressed radially with elastic resilience, and which makes electrical contact with a second conductor part of the switching mechanism, the first conductor part arranged and formed that a complementary coaxial connector which is inserted in the coaxial connector expands the first conductor part radially or compresses it radially, thus breaking the electrical contact between the first conductor part and the second conductor part.

  • Patent number: 7479034
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector (100) with a housing (110) and with at least two electrical contact elements (112), which each have a longitudinal axis and which are arranged so that they are aligned on a plugging side of the housing (110) at predetermined positions and with a respective longitudinal axis parallel to a plugging direction (122) of the plug connector (100). Each electrical contact element (112) is placed inside the housing (100) in a manner that enables it to move in a plane perpendicular to the plugging direction (122), and is connected in an elastically resilient manner to at least one second electrical contact element (112) via at least one electrically non-conductive elastic spring element (114).

  • Patent number: 7438593
    Abstract: A printed circuit board component includes a housing carrying a peg that engages a printed circuit board hole. This peg has a radially projecting detent lug extending beyond the plug outer periphery. The lug is located and formed on the peg so the peg outer periphery is smaller in the area of the lug than the diameter of the hole. The outer periphery of the section of the peg projecting into the hole is such that, between the outer periphery of this section and the hole inner wall, a space having a capillarity for solder is formed over a portion of the outer periphery. During soldering, solder on the printed circuit board surface enters and fills the space by capillary action.
