Patent number: 9130304Abstract: A specially designed sealing element (17) for a circular connector in which the sealing surface is subdivided into two areas, a first sealing section being designed to have a mainly radial sealing effect and a second sealing section being designed to have a mainly axial sealing effect. As a result, an effective sealing is achieved even in the case of counterparts having higher tolerances.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2010Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: ifm electronic gmbhInventors: Wolfgang Mehnert, Bernd Froese

Patent number: 7581982Abstract: An electrical plug connector for connection of an electrical cable (2) to an apparatus, such as a sensor or an actuator, includes a housing (3) having a contact mount (5) holding a variety of contacts (4), and an electronics circuit (6) having at least one light-emitting element, LED (7) and being electrically connected to the contacts (4). The status of whether the LED (7) is illuminated or not can be identified particularly well, even in the presence of strong external incident light, by the housing (3) being composed of a thermoplastic material, at least in the area of the LEDs (7), and including an additive (8) that influences transparency and color for reducing the transparency of the thermoplastic material.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2007Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: i f m electronic GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Mehnert, Gilbert Anzer

Patent number: 7413457Abstract: An electrical connector connects to a mating connector by a rotatable union nut that is axially displaceable on a contact carrier with a sealing element therebetween. Damage to the sealing element is prevented by a stop that limits the maximum path by which the union nut can be screwed onto the mating connector, such that when the union nut is screwed on, the elastic sealing element is intentionally compressed, but is not damaged or destroyed. A vibration guard can also be provided in the connection.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: i f m electronic GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Mehnert, Bernd Froese, Andreas Hartrampf, Thomas Ohlinger

Patent number: 5573411Abstract: A built-in plug with a grounding wire contact pin (3) is located on and projects from a plug side of a plug housing (2), and is designed for connection to an electrically conductive housing (5) of a part (6) into which the plug is to be incorporated. To make available a built-in plug which essentially corresponds to the current safety standard, and which therefore has the required creepage distances and clearances, it is provided that grounding wire contact pin (3) is electrically connected to a grounding wire element (9) which is routed to an outer surface (8) of the plug housing (2) and which is used for contacting the conductive housing (5) of part (6) into which the plug is to be incorporated.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1995Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Assignee: i f m electronic GmbHInventors: Josef Bartosz, Wolfgang Mehnert

Patent number: 5018049Abstract: A housing for electronic switchgear comprises an outer sleeve made of metal, an inner sleeve positioned within the outer sleeve and being made of electrically insulating plastic that is impermeable to water, dust and other media in the ambient atmosphere, and a stopper of similar plastic. The inner sleeve is closed at one end and the stopper is inserted into the sleeve at its other end to sealingly close the sleeve. The inner sleeve consists of a first sleeve part open at both ends and a second sleeve part aligned with the first sleeve part and closed at one end. The other end of the second sleeve part is abutting upon one end of the first sleeve part. The stopper is sealingly inserted into the first sleeve part at its other end. The plastic of the first sleeve part is transparent or translucent whereas the plastic of said second sleeve part is not transparent or translucent, but otherwise identical or of equal grade.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1989Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: IFM Electronic GmbHInventor: Wolfgang Mehnert
