A plug connector has a housing with a cap, the cap having a lever which can adopt a first position and a second position. In this case, the housing is opened in the first position of the lever and closed in the second position of the lever. Furthermore, the plug connector has a locking device which can adopt a blocking position which is intended to lock the lever in the second position. The locking device is elastically movable out of its blocking position into a release position in order to unlock the lever in the second position. Furthermore, the locking device is elastically movable out of its blocking position into an overload position in order to unlock the lever in the second position if a force exerted on the lever exceeds a set value. In this case, the overload position differs from the release position.

Plug connector

The invention relates to a connector assembly for an electrical plug-in connector (), in particular an electrical socket plug-in connector () for an igniter of an airbag, with a contact casing () in which at least one electrical contact means () can be provided, and a contact securing means () which has a locking means () by means of which the contact means () can be locked in the contact casing (); the contact securing means () having a strain-relief means () by means of which at least partially a strain relief for an electric line () connected to the contact means () can be set up on/in the connector assembly (); and/or the connector assembly () having a plug-in-connector securing means () which, starting from a pre-latching position (V) on the connector assembly (), for a final latching position (E) can be brought into engagement with the contact securing means () and/or a strain-relief cover () of the connector assembly ().

Connector assembly for an electrical plug-in connector, electrical plug-in connector and manufactured electric cable

A plug for a socket of an airbag is disclosed. The plug has a position assurance member having a movable member and a static member and the position assurance member is movable between a transport position and an end position by moving the movable member in relation to the static member. The plug also has a shorting contact, a flow of current in the shorting contact being possible in the transport position while the flow of current is not possible in the end position. The end position is attainable only when the plug is inserted into the socket.

Plug

The present invention relates to a plug comprising a main housing, at least one conductor guide and a supplementary part. To improve the plug such that the conductor guide can be assembled as easily as possible and its correct position easily checked, with the conductor guide still being well secured, the conductor guide comprises a retaining profile with which a partial profile of the main housing and a supplementary profile of the supplementary part can be brought, at least in certain sections, into engagement so as to correspond with each other. The supplementary part can be moved relative to the main housing between a starting position and a closed position, and in the starting position the conductor guide can be positioned in an opening formed with the partial profile and the supplementary profile and is axially loosely movable and in the closed position is rotatably and axially fixed relative to the main housing and the supplementary part owing to the engagement of the holding profile with the partial profile and the supplementary profile.

The invention relates to an electrical connector for contacting at least one electrical lead and for connection with a complementary connector, to an electrical plug-in connection for connecting at least one electrical lead to an electronic component and to an assembly method for assembling such an electrical connector. In order to provide an electrical connector of the above type and an associated assembly method which ensures simple, inexpensive producibility on the one hand and robust and reliable contactability on the other hand, and which additionally enables the greatest possible miniaturization, the connector () comprises a housing (), in which the contact element () is at least partially accommodated and on which there is arranged a terminal cover () for covering the terminal area (), which cover comprises a first lid part () and a second lid part (), which are so constructed that they may both be moved to expose the terminal area () during fitting of the electrical lead ().
