In order to simplify mounting and cabling of optoelectronic plug connectors (') and—equipped therewith—subdistribution units () and subdistribution systems, the use of special module housings () is proposed. The latter can accommodate a plurality of, in particular eight, identical and/or different optoelectronic transducers (′) and are installed in the plug connectors (′) between the electrical plug contacts () and the multi-core optical cables (), i.e. the cores () thereof. Susceptibility to errors is considerably improved as a result and mounting is significantly simplified as a result of the improved clarity.

Optoelectronic module, optoelectronic plug connector and optoelectronic sub-distribution unit

A board-edge plug connector establishes an electrical connection between at least one electrical conductor and at least one printed circuit board. The board-edge plug connector has a housing which accommodates at least one contact element and has at least one cavity which receives both the conductor and also the printed circuit board at least partially in the housing. The contact element both encloses and makes contact with the printed circuit board in a spring-elastic manner and also clamps the conductor against the housing and makes contact with it in a spring-elastic manner.

Board-edge plug connector

A contact element for establishing electrical contact between a first and a second printed circuit board is provided. The contact element has a fastening region for fastening to the first printed circuit board and a plug section for a plug connection to the second printed circuit board. The plug section has at least two contact arms which are electrically conductively connected to one another. A method for assembling a printed circuit board arrangement is also provided.

Contact element for electrically connecting printed circuit boards and method for assembling a printed circuit board arrangement

A connector for installation on a printed circuit board a contacting part has which includes at least two contact elements, each of which can be connected, on the connection side, to an individual conductor and, on the plug-in side, to a conductive track of the printed circuit board, wherein the connector a connection part which encloses the individual conductors and, in the region of each individual conductor, has a recess, into each of which a contact element engages for the electrical connection between individual conductor and contact element. The contacting part is formed in an injection molding process, wherein at least two contact elements having an insulation-displacement connector are inserted or engaged in the contacting part or are directly encapsulated, and the connection part is formed in an injection molding process, wherein at least two individual conductors, each having a cable sheath, are thus placed in an injection molding tool and are encapsulated.

Connector for zero-force contacting on a printed circuit board

A connection apparatus for electrical cables is provided. In this case, the connection apparatus is intended to engage around a hose, wherein the connection apparatus is formed from two half-shells which are connected to one another in an articulated manner. In addition, at least one contact element, which is designed to make contact with the electrical cables, is arranged on the connection apparatus. The electrical cables can be connected to the contact elements by means of a pressure piece. As an alternative, the contact elements can be arranged such that, when the connection apparatus is locked, the contact elements are connected to the electrical cables at the same time. In this case, the electrical cables in the second half-shell can be arranged in conductor receptacles such that the contact elements on the first half shell enter the connection apparatus when said connection apparatus is closed.

Connection apparatus for cables

A device socket that includes a wall feedthrough, a printed circuit board and an electronic component attached to the printed circuit board. The device socket has a lock mechanism to connect the printed circuit board to the wall feedthrough. The wall feedthrough has an opening. The device socket has at least one seal with an opening which cooperates with the electronic component to adjust the position of the electronic component relative to the wall feedthrough and wall feedthrough opening.

Device socket

In a housingfor receiving an electric circuit boardit is proposed to provide in a first housing halfof the housinga plurality of bearing padslocated at various levels. These bearing padsreceive, together with counter bearing padsprovided in a second housing half, the electric circuit board. A plurality of support pointsis provided on the electric circuit board, each of which support pointsis respectively associated with the bearing padsand counter bearing pads. By removing individual support points, the bearing padsand counter bearing padsare selected, on which the circuit boardis supposed to rest. By selecting the bearing padsand counter bearing padslying at different levels, the level of the electric circuit boardin the housingis determined.
