A hybrid electrical connector includes a housing having a central opening, a carrier plate supported by the housing within the central opening, and electrically conductive pins supported within the housing by the carrier plate. The housing is formed of a first plastic material, and the carrier plate is formed of a second plastic material having properties that make it more dimensionally stable than the first plastic material. In addition, a sealing layer is applied to one surface of the carrier plate, the sealing layer formed of a third plastic material and serving to secure the carrier plate to the housing and to secure the pins within the carrier plate. A method of forming the electrical connector is also described.

Hybrid electrical connector

A connection system between an electrical or electronic device and a plug connector unit, the device including first electrical terminals, which are aligned in parallel to one another with the aid of a first positioning device within a connection area of the device, and second electrical terminals, which cooperate with the first electrical terminals, being aligned with the first electrical terminals with the aid of a second positioning device in a plug connector housing of the plug connector unit.

Connection system between an electrical or electronic device and a plug connector unit and use of the connection system

In a plug connection for the direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces on a circuit board, having a plug receptacle associated with the circuit board, into which the circuit board extends, having a plug pluggable into the plug receptacle, which has a contact carrier having contact elements for the direct electrical contacting of the contact surfaces of the circuit board, and having a contact pressure spring device for pressing the contact elements of the contact carrier against the contact surfaces of the circuit board, the contact pressure spring device is provided in the plug receptacle.

Plug connection for the direct electrical contacting of a circuit board

In an electrical plug connector having multiple metal contacts situated in parallel to each other for electrically contacting metal contact pins of a mating plug, a separate contact terminal is situated upstream from at least one of the contacts according to the invention, which electrically conductively contacts the at least one contact and is designed for being penetrated by a contact pin.

Electrical plug connector having an upstream contact terminal

In a direct contact plug-in connection having a circuit board, which has contact surfaces on its one side, and having a direct contact plug that is plug-connectible to the circuit board, which has contact elements for the electrical direct contacting of the contact surfaces of the circuit board, the contact surfaces are provided on a circuit board section that runs transversely to the plugging direction of the plug connection, the contact elements each contacting the contact surfaces, using their front end face, in the plugging direction.

Direct contact plug-in connection having end face direct contact

A contact plug for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces is provided on both sides of a circuit board. The contact plug includes two flexibly interconnected contact carriers, which form, between each other, a plug receptacle for the circuit board and each have at least one contact element extending into the plug receptacle. A spring is provided whose two free spring legs engage over the two contact carriers i the insertion direction of the contact plug and bias them in the direction of each other. A control channel, which is formed between the two contact carriers nd laterally adjacent to the plug receptacle and, in cooperation with a control wedge provided on the circuit board, pivots the two contact carriers open in opposition to the action of the spring upon insertion of the circuit board. A seal seals the two contact carriers in a mating contact plug on the reverse side. The two free spring legs of the springengage over the two contact carriers in the insertion direction of the contact plug. The seal is positioned between the contact carriers and the spring midsection of the spring, the two spring legs extending through the seal and being sealed at the seal.

Contact plug for directly contacting a circuit board

A contacting plug for contacting a contact carrier, in particular a circuit board, having two clamping claws able to be pivoted relative to each other, transversely to a plug-in direction, at least one of which is implemented as contact holder carrying at least one flexible contact element, which contact holder is implemented with a contact force for resting on the contact carrier, and a spring arrangement for generating a clamping force that is independent of the contact force. According to the invention, the spring arrangement is designed for bracing exclusively on the contacting plug for generating the clamping force.

Contacting plug as well as contacting connection

A contacting plug for contacting a contract carrier, in particular a circuit board, includes two clamping claws able to be swiveled relative to each other, transversely to a plug-in direction, at least one of the clamping claws being implemented as contact holder carrying at least one flexible contact element, which contact holder is designed to rest on the contact carrier with a contact force and has spring devices for generating a clamping force which is independent of the contact force. The clamping claws have at least one stop face in each case, which rest against each other in the non-contacting state of the contacting plug and thereby prevent plastic deformation of the contact element.

Contacting plug as well as contacting plug-in connection

A removable electrical plug-in connection comprising a connector and a mating connector, the mating connector including a contact element, in particular a p.c. board, or similar, having at least one contact area which is connectable at least in part to the connector. It is provided that the connector includes at least one clamping element which grips at least in part around the contact element in its contact position, and this clamping element presses at least a part of the contact element against the contact area for establishing the electrical plug-in connection.

Direct plug-in connection including a cable end sleeve

A multipole electrical plug connection remains functionally stable even under vibrational stresses, in particular during the operation of an internal combustion engine. The plug connection is formed by coupling a first connector to a second connector. Attached to a contact carrier as part of a housing of the first connector are a first pressing element and a second pressing element, via which the two connectors are radially and axially biased when both connectors are joined. As a result, relative movements between the contacted contact elements and contact parts situated in the fixed connectors are prevented. The plug connection is preferably intended for use in automobile manufacturing.

Electric plug-in connection

Connector arrangement for an automotive steering system with a control

A plug connection with a plug (11) and an associated counterpart plug or socket (12) is intended to be formed such that shaping strains acting upon it have no or only slight disturbing influence on the contacts (25, 28) of the plug connection. To that end, the plug (11) has a packing element (19), supported on its outside in a contact carrier (14), in the form of an uninterrupted, encompassing radial rubber elastic element which, in addition to a framelike basic body (37), engages socket (12), also contains pinlike retaining segments (41), which are oriented inward, press resiliently against the contact elements (25) of the plug (11) and stabilize them in their position. This plug connection is preferably used in motor vehicles, in whose operation strong shaking strains must be expected, e.g. having Diesel engines.
