The invention relates to a locking zone for a plug contact element with a contact blade for producing an electrically conductive connection, having at least one first and one second locking element, wherein the first locking element is formed by a tongue and the second locking element is formed by a recess, the elements of the locking zone being geometrically matched to one another such that the tongue can engage in the recess and can be supported in the recess in a locking position of the plug contact element. The invention furthermore relates to a plug contact element having a locking zone.

Locking zone for a plug contact element

The invention relates to a plug contact element () for establishing an electrically conductive connection, the plug contact element having a crimp portion for establishing an electrically conductive connection to a cable, and at least one plug contact pin () for establishing a releasable electrically conductive connection to a contact box (), the plug contact element () being formed in one piece, and the plug contact pin () having a tongue (), at least part of which is internal and which is enclosed at least partially by the contact blade outer region () such that at least part of the plug contact pin () has a sandwich fold construction comprising at least two layers of material. The invention further relates to an arcuate semi-finished product (') for producing the plug contact element () according to the invention, and to the method for producing the plug contact element.

Plug contact element, semi-finished product for producing a plug contact element, and method for producing said plug contact element

The invention relates to a socket contact element for establishing an electrically conductive connection including a crimp section for establishing an electrically conductive connection to a line and a contact box for establishing a detachable electrically conductive connection to a contact box plug, wherein the socket contact element is constructed in one piece and includes a plurality of integrally implemented functions based on geometrical designs. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sheet-shaped semifinished product for producing a socket contact element and the production method by forming.

Socket contact element for an electrically conductive connection

The invention relates to a contact element arrangement consisting of a shaped sheet metal part, wherein at least two contact elements, which are spaced apart from each other and extend away from a flat base plate of the sheet metal part, are shaped from the sheet metal part and wherein the one contact element forms a substantially cylindrical contacting portion for mounting a pin-shaped counter contact by insertion and wherein the second contact element is formed as a contact spring bent in an S-shape over two bending portions, the contact spring forming a contact point facing away from the base plate.

Contact element arrangement

The invention refers to an electrical connector, in particular for connecting a receptacle (squib) to an electrical control unit for restraint systems in motor vehicles.

Electrical connector

An electrical connector is arranged to be used with a counter plug, for example for use between a counter plug and an electrical control apparatus for an inflatable restraint system or airbag in a motor vehicle. The electrical connector includes a shell in which contacts are to be positioned and a locking member for locking the contacts in position. If the contacts are not properly positioned, the locking member cannot be pushed from a first catching position to a final catching position, and when the locking member is in the first catching position, the locking member is arranged to prevent insertion of the counter plug into the shell.

Electric connector

The invention concerns an electrical connector, in particular for use between a socket (46) and an electrical control device, for inflatable restraining systems in motor vehicles. The connector has a housing (10,12) for accommodating electrical cables (28), as well as contact springs (24) connected to said cables, the contact springs serving to accommodate contact pins (50) of the associated socket with priming cap (trigger device); spring locking arms (42a,b) on the housing for attaching the housing to the socket; and a locking element (16) which, after insertion in a corresponding housing opening (56), secures the locking arms against unintentional release and in the locking position releases a short-circuiting link (52) between the contact pins of the socket, the locking arms being coupled to flexible housing sections (38a,b) in the direction of movement of the locking arms.

The invention refers to an electrical connector, particularly for use between a generator and an electrical control unit, for inflatable restraint systems in motor vehicles, having a sleeve being displacable on the shell of the connector as locking means with regard to the receptacle.

An ignition cable connector adapted to engage with an apparatus connector of an ignition generator to form a connector assembly, said ignition cable connector comprising an insulating body, a nose, and locking means spaced from said nose, said locking means being adapted to come into engagement with counter locking means provided at the apparatus connector.

Airbag safety system

The present invention pertains to a pin-and-socket connector for accommodating and electrically contacting the strip conductors of a flat conductor flat cable with corresponding plug contacts via the intermediary of an electrical component. The component is connected directly to one of the strip conductors of the flat conductor flat cable.
