A shorting contact support for a plug-in projection ( ) in an igniter receptacle, comprising a first shorting bridge ( ) having two resilient contact elements ( ) connected to one another by an edge ( ) of a metal plate ( ), and a support housing ( ) having an annular base ( ) on which two diametrically opposite wings ( ) are integrally formed parallel to the insertion direction and form a holder ( ) for a plug ( ) having sockets ( ) for the insertion of contact pins ( ) on an igniter receptacle ( ). The shorting contact support has a second shorting bridge ( ) which is essentially identical to the first shorting bridge ( ), each wing ( ) containing a shorting bridge ( ), so that at least one bridge ( ) shorts the two contact pins ( ) arranged in one plane on the igniter receptacle ( ) when the plug ( ) is inserted. In addition, the holder ( ) is rotationally symmetrical through 180&deg;.

Shorting contact support for a plug-in projection in an igniter receptacle

The invention specifies a scoop-proof plug connector system having a connector ( ) which has a pair of contact sockets ( ) situated in the plug-in projection ( ) and a connector housing ( ), a mating connector for an igniter, which has a pair of contact pins ( ) situated in one plane for insertion into the contact sockets ( ), and a coupling piece ( ) which is situated in the mating connector and has a recess ( ), which is complementary to the plug-in projection ( ) and an essentially cylindrical sleeve ( ). At least one guide shoulder ( ) which runs parallel to the insertion direction and essentially over the full height of the sleeve ( ) and which projects above the contact pins ( ) is integrally formed in the recess ( ).

Scoop-proof plug connector system

Connector with secondary latching and with a lateral cable outlet

The present invention relates to a cylindrical contact tube (1) having a contact part (2) and a connecting part (3). The contact part (2) has a cylindrical lateral surface (4) with at least one contact spring (5) which is punched out of the lateral surface (4) and orientated essentially parallel to the plug-in direction, the contact spring additionally being coined.

Cylindrical contact tube

The present invention relates to a plug-in connector (1) for connection to a firing element receptacle (2), having a plug adapter (3), locking arms (4) and a plug body (5), the plug body having in a cable-receiving groove, which has teeth (10), a connecting cable (6) which is connected to contacts (7, 8), and having a housing cover (11), which rests on the upper side of the plug body (5). The fastening of the housing cover (11) on the upper side of the plug body (5) takes place by means of lateral and rear fastening lugs (12, 13), which extend downwards from the cover (11), the rear fastening lugs (13) being clipped into by detents (14), which are arranged on U-shaped flexible legs (15), which in turn are arranged in the vicinity of the cable-receiving groove (9) on the plug body (5).
