An electrical connector plug comprising a connector housing ( ) with at least a first locking element ( ) that is rigid and a counter-connector housing ( ) which is complementarily to the connector housing ( ) with at least a second locking element that is resilient ( ) and a spring element ( ) for increasing a spring force and together with the first and second locking elements ( ) define an unstable swell point. Furthermore, during movement of the counter-connector housing ( ) in the direction of insertion (F) into the connector housing ( ), the first locking element ( ) presses so strongly against the second locking element ( ), that the spring element ( ) located in the second locking element ( ) builds up a tension with the swell point being reached by using tension from the spring element ( ).

The invention describes a control unit of a valve mechanism with an electromagnetic coil (1) where the electromagnetic coil (1) is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit via a connection device which has an electrically conducting spring-mounted connecting ridge (10).

Control unit of a valve mechanism

The present invention concerns a socket contact ( ) for electrical connectors, having a box-shaped sheet-metal frame ( ) and four contact elements ( ) incorporated therein as well as a connection part for cables, which adjoins the sheet-metal frame. In this case, the sheet-metal frame has, seen in the direction of insertion, a front frame part ( ). The latter comprises two parts which have two sides respectively joined together via an edge, of which sides those lying respectively opposite one another are either joined via a first contact element ( ) to the rear frame part ( ) or respectively have a second contact element ( ) with a free head end ( ), which extends in the direction of the rear frame part.
