A sensor element, in particular for detection of a physical property of a gas, in particular for detection of the concentration of a gas component or of the temperature or of a solid constituent or of a liquid constituent of an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, the sensor element including, a solid electrolyte film and including, located oppositely from one another in its longitudinal direction, first and second end regions, the sensor element including outside the second end region, in particular in the first end region, a functional element electrically conductively connected to a contact surface disposed in the second end region on the outer surface of the sensor element, the contact surface having a rounding, which is a radius, on its side facing away from the first end region. The contact surfaces each include three sub-regions: head region, neck region, and body region.

An electrical shielding system for an electrical plug connecting includes: a first shielding element; and a second shielding element. The first shielding element and the second shielding element are configured to be plugged into each other, so that the two shielding elements are mechanically and electrically connected. The second shielding element includes a base body and a contacting body which are movable in relation to each other. The electric shielding system further includes a flexible element via which the base body and the contacting body are mechanically coupled to each other.

Shielding system for an electrical plug connection

A plug-in connection is described having a contact carrier including a contact element, which is mechanically connected to the contact carrier; a line has an electrical conductor, which is electrically connected to the contact element, and has an insulation which surrounds the electrical conductor. The line is mechanically connected to the contact carrier, the plug-in connection having a fixing element, into which is accommodated an uninsulated area of the line in which the electrical conductor is not surrounded by the insulation, and which fixes the electrical conductor to the contact carrier.

Plug-in connection having a fixed line

A plug connector for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces on a circuit board includes at least one electrical end contact of an electric line inserted into the plug connector housing in a plug-in direction and at least one separate electrical contact element, which protrudes elastically beyond one housing side of the plug connector housing transversely to the end contact for electrical contacting of a contact surface of the circuit board and is in electrically conductive contact with the end contact, at least when the contact surface has been contacted.

A plug part, in particular a cable harness plug, for producing an electrical plug connection to a further plug part, includes a housing, a contact carrier situated in the housing, as well as a gel or silicon multipole seal situated on the side facing away from the plugging direction. To enable the contacts situated in the contact carrier to be automatically inserted, it is provided that a flat surface is formed on the side facing away from the plugging direction, i.e., on the outgoing side of the cable, so that no interfering contour exists for the automatic insertion gripper. For this purpose, it is provided that a flat holding plate having insertion openings and being able to latch to the contact carrier is provided on the multipole seal, on the side of the plug part facing away from the plugging direction, locking arms hinged to and extending away from the holding plate being formed in the plugging direction of the plug part.

A cable harness plug for establishing an electric connection to a plug strip. The cable harness plug includes a housing, contact elements arranged in the housing and at least one lock. The cable harness plug includes at least two different types of contacts, and a lock is assigned to each type of contact. A lock includes at least one locking plate covering at least one area of one type of contact and includes a locking element which, by insertion into cable harness plug, converts locking plate to the locked position in the one area of type of contact and at the same time activates the lock which is assigned to the other types of contacts. This allows for production of secondary lock for different types of contacts of a cable harness plug simultaneously by using a single locking element.

A protective device for a multipoint connector, which contains at least one contact element in a base that is in the form of a housing, the contact element being accessible through an opening in the base, and being connectable to a plug connector; the protective device being made of a protective element, which can be transferred from a protective position preventing the coupling, into a mounting position rendering the coupling possible; and the protective device being designed in such a manner, that it can be manufactured very inexpensively, and is very easy to handle or remove. To this end, the protective element is made of a foil, which can be applied directly to the rim of the base opening, in a detachable manner.
