The invention relates to a protective cap (or) for arranging on a cable, a corrugated pipe, or the like. The protective cap (or) consists of two parts (oror), in particular two identical halves, wherein the two parts (oror) are connected together via a film hinge (or), and at least one latch geometry (or) is provided which connects the two parts (oror) together after folding. The at least one latch geometry (or) is integrated into the interior of the protective cap (or) and does not protrude beyond the outer surface thereof.

Protective cap

The invention relates to a plug connection () having a plug connector () and a mating plug connector (). The plug connector () and the mating plug connector () can be plugged together in order to form the plug connection (), wherein the plug connector () has a contact support () with at least one contact chamber for receiving a contact partner, and the contact support () is inserted into an outer housing () of the plug connector (). Each contact partner is primarily locked in the contact chamber of the contact partner, and a secondary lock () is provided for a secondary locking of the contact partners in the contact chambers thereof. The invention is characterized in that the secondary lock () is formed by a longitudinal web (), at the two ends of which a respective latching element () is arranged that interacts with the contact support (), and at least one force absorbing web () is arranged on the upper face of the longitudinal web ().

Plug connector with secondary lock

The invention relates to a contact element () for a plug connector, comprising a crimp region having crimp wings (), with which same is connected to an electrical conductor of a line, wherein the contact element () has a spring-like contact geometry for a counter contact element in a contact region, wherein this contact geometry is provided in duplicate, characterised in that one part of the double contact geometry is formed by an additional contact element (), wherein this additional contact element () is produced separately from the contact element () and, after production, same is arranged on the contact element () via a connection ().

Contact for plug connector

The invention relates to a plug connection () having a plug connector () and a mating plug connector (). The plug connector () and the mating plug connector () can be plugged together in order to form the plug connection (), wherein the plug connector () has a contact support () with at least one contact chamber for receiving a contact partner, the contact support () is inserted into an outer housing () of the plug connector (), each contact partner is primarily locked in the respective contact chamber, and a secondary lock () is provided for a secondary locking of the contact partners in the respective contact chambers. The invention is characterized in that the outer housing () has at least one locking hook () which interacts with the contact support (). The contact support () has a hook mating geometry (), and the at least one locking hook () is aligned diagonally to a central axis of the outer housing ().

Plug connector with latch hooks

A plug-in connector for connecting to a glow plug in a diesel engine has a circular cross section and a plastic base body on which at least one strip contact is coaxially provided. The strip contact has a longitudinally extending slit and at least one protruding projection on the base body. After the strip contact is installed on the base body the projection is deformed in such a way that it projects at least partially over at least one web of the strip contact after being deformed.
