A plug connector for providing an electrical connection, having a collective seal with at least one passage opening and at least one electrically conductive plug contact, which is guided through the at least one passage opening of the collective seal. Also disclosed is a template for the passage opening to support the plug contact when the plug contact is guided through the passage opening of the collective seal.

Plug connector

A system for connecting wires of an electrical cable harness to an electrical connector includes a base that defines a base plane and is configured to support a connector. The system also includes a guiding device having first and second moveable gripping portions. The first and second gripping portions cooperate to define one or more channels that extend perpendicularly to the base plane and are configured to receive one or more wire ends for insertion. An inner surface of the first gripping portion is parallel with a corresponding inner surface of the second gripping portion and an outer surface of the first gripping portion is nonparallel with a corresponding outer surface of the second gripping portion. The system further includes a robotic arm configured to move the guiding device relative to the base while the one or more channels remain perpendicular to the base plane.

A method for calibrating a mounting-device used for automatically mounting a contact-part attached to an electrical line with a connector-housing includes the steps of providing the mounting-device, marking a plurality of marking-points, capturing an image of the plurality of marking-points, and determining the positions of the plurality of marking-points. The mounting-device comprises a holder for the connector-housing, a positioning-device that includes a moveable-gripper that includes a marking-device, a camera configured to capture an image of a portion of the holder, and a control unit in communication with the positioning-device, the camera, and the moveable-gripper. The control unit determines the positions of the marking-points based on the image. The positions are indicative of an actual insertion-position of the contact-part into the connector-housing by the moveable-gripper. The control unit stores the positions of the marking-points in a memory of the control unit.

A circuit interruption device () is provided in which an interruption element () and a fuse element () are configured electrically in parallel. The interruption element includes an electrical conductor and a current interrupter capable of severing the electrical conductor to eliminate its capacity to carry current. An exemplary embodiment of a circuit interruption device is capable of detecting an interrupt control signal and actuating in response to the signal.

Circuit interruption device

The invention relates to a connection unit for the connection of electrical and/or electronic components to a pole of a motor vehicle battery comprising a first conductor section that can be connected to a battery pole; a second conductor section originating from the first conductor section and including a main conductor and a bypass conductor, to which the at least one respective electrical and/or electronic component can be connected; an interruption unit, by which an electrical and/or electronic component connected to the main conductor can be electrically isolated from the battery; and at least one sensor for the measurement of a battery current and/or of a battery voltage.
