The invention relates to an electrically conductive contact element () for an electric plug connector. The electrically conductive contact element () comprises a contact region () for making detachable electric contact with a mating contact element of a mating plug connector, and comprises a cable connecting region () for the connection of a cable. The contact element () comprises a cooling cavity (), which opens into a distal opening () of the cable connecting region () which is arranged opposite the contact region ().

Electrically conductive contact element for an electric plug connector

A plug connector for connecting to an electric connection of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine can comprise a rail extending in a longitudinal direction and at least one insulating element arranged in a linearly movable manner in the longitudinal direction relative to the rail, wherein the at least one insulating element protrudes out of the rail in a transverse direction. In some embodiments, the at least one insulating element comprises means for electrically connecting to the electric connection of the fuel injector in an oil-tight and releasable manner on a side facing away from the rail in the transverse direction. In some embodiments, the rail comprises a guide extending in the longitudinal direction configured to guide the at least one insulating element relative to the rail in the longitudinal direction and hold the same in a formfitting manner in the transverse direction relative to the rail.

Plug connector and motor or valve cover element comprising a plug connector

A plug-and-socket connector with an electrically conductive female contact for receiving a contact pin and for establishing an electrically conductive connection to the contact pin is described. According to implementations here, the female contact is accessible by an opening in the plug-and-socket connector. Further, a closure element for closing the opening is movably supported inside the female contact.

Plug-and-socket connector having a movable closure element

Grounding finger for shielding at an electrical connection between a plug connector and a mating plug connector of an electrical line, having a sleeve-like support element which has a first outer edge and a second outer edge, axial connecting webs being provided between the outer edges, and having a plurality of spring limbs which act radially outward and, at least at one end, are connected to one of the edges in order to generate a spring-loaded contact force to the outer plug connector, with some of the connecting webs being interrupted and being formed in each case with at least one contact lug which faces radially inward.

Spring clip for shielding of electrical connectors

A plug-in unit (, FIG.A) with a housing () that receives an electrical contact arrangement (, FIG.) that has a cable bushing (, FIG.A). The housing has an aperture () in a housing wall for the plugged-in reception of the mating plug-in unit (, FIG.). In order to allow for the optional design of an angled or a linear plug-in connection, the cuboid housing (, FIG.A) is divided along a plane () that runs perpendicular to a longitudinal central plane () and at a 45&#xb0; angle to the longitudinal extension of a bushing () in such a way that a first housing part () contains the cable bushing () and the second housing part () forms the plug-in aperture (). The second housing part () is attached to the first housing part so the second housing part () can be turned with respect to the first housing part ().

Plug-in unit

A contact arrangement () comprising fork-shaped contacts () that engage opposite faces of a blade contact (). For good heat dissipation together with low transition resistance, the contact arrangement is made up of multiple planar, i.e., plate-shaped, fork contacts (), which are supported and connected to each other on a shaft-like carrier () that is joined to a perpendicular connecting unit ().

Contact arrangement

A connector () for systems of high power density includes a first (female) plug-in unit (), a second (male) plug-in unit (), and gear wheels () with spiral tracks () that engage cams () that move the units together.
