An electrical plug connector adapted to be assembled with a mating connector in an insertion direction comprises an outer housing, a contact housing adapted to be secured in the outer housing and having a contact receptacle receiving an electrical contact, a shaft extending through the outer housing and the contact housing, and a securing element adapted to positively lock the outer housing to the contact housing. The securing element is inserted in the shaft in a securing direction extending transversely relative to the insertion direction.

Plug connector having a contact housing, outer housing and securing element

The invention relates to a plug element (') of a plug connector () for a sealed electrical plug-and-socket connection extending through a hole () in a wall (), having a protective housing (&#x2032;), which comprises an inner chamber (), which at least in places forms a mating plug receptacle () for a mating plug element () complementary to the plug element (&#x2032;), having a locking device (&#x2032;), which is actuatable from outside the protective housing () and may be moved from an unlocked position (T) into a locked position (R), the locking device (&#x2032;) extending at least in the locked position (R) into the inner chamber () and overlapping the mating plug receptacle () at least in places, and having at least one sealing element (&#x2032;) resting against the protective housing (&#x2032;) at least in a final plugged-together position of the plug connector (), by means of which sealing element the mating plug receptacle () may be sealed relative to the external environment of the plug connector (). In order to provide a sealed plug connector () with the smallest possible dimensions, provision is made according to the invention for at least one sealing element (&#x2032;) to be arranged sealingly between the protective housing (&#x2032;) and the locking device (&#x2032;) at least in the locked position (R).

Plug element with locking seal

An electrical plug-in connector with a casing, with a lever rotatably mounted on the casing. The lever has a guideway provided for guiding a guide element of a second casing, with the guide element being guided in the guideway upon rotation of the lever and the second casing being pulled from a pre-assembly position with regard to the casing into an end position. The casing has a flexible blocking element, an insertion space for introducing the guide element into the guideway being provided, the blocking element having an actuating surface, the actuating surface in a rest position of the blocking element projecting into the insertion space. The lever has a blocking surface, the blocking element having a second blocking surface, with, in a rest position of the lever and in a rest position of the blocking element, the second blocking surface of the blocking element being associated with the blocking surface of the lever and blocking a movement of the lever from the rest position into an end position.

Electrical connector having a lever mating assist with blocking system

The invention relates to a plug-and-socket connector with a first housing with first electrical contacts and a second housing with second electrical contacts. The first housing has a lever and a blocking element. The second housing has a toothed surface on which the lever arm can be brought into contact with an actuating surface upon pivoting in order to draw the first and the second housing together into an end position in which the first and the second contacts are contacted with each other.

Plug-and-socket connector with a blocking element

A plug connection comprises a first plug having a seal and a second plug configured for fitting in an opening in a partition wall. The second plug is mateable with the first plug such that the seal substantially surrounds the opening in the partition wall. A clamping device is provided on the first plug and is configured for drawing the first plug into engagement with the second plug. The clamping device engages with the second plug at a connection region. The connection region is provided with a sealing member configured to seal the connection region between the clamping device and the second plug.

Sealed plug connection through a partition wall and method of fitting

The present invention relates to an attachment device () for the sun visor of a motor vehicle having a receiving housing () mounted on the motor vehicle and a sun visor foot () connectable with the sun visor, wherein the receiving housing () and the sun visor foot () each comprise contacts for producing an electrical connection. The electrical contact of the receiving housing () has a first contact point () and the electrical contact of the sun visor foot () has a second contact point () whereby the first contact point () and the second contact point () are in electrical contact with when the sun visor foot () is mounted in the receiving housing ().
