A connector module for a modular plug connector is provided having an overvoltage protection with at least one earth connection. A connector and a modular plug connector having a connector module of the above type is also provided.

Overvoltage protection module for a modular plug connector

Provided is a belt strip for contact elements, which includes of a flat metal strip, from which individual tabs are angle by approximately 90&#xb0;, wherein the tabs each have two retaining arms which are bent towards one another, wherein the retaining arms each have a constant direction of curvature, and wherein the radius of curvature is greater in the direction of the ends of the respective retaining arms.

Belt strip for contact elements

A latching device for a first system of plug connectors, which are fastened to a first mounting rail, and a second system of plug connectors, which are fastened to a second mounting rail, includes a passive latching part and an active latching part. When the active latching part is latched to the passive latching part, the first mounting rail and the second mounting rail are connected to each other, and the plug connectors located on the first mounting rail and the second mounting rail are brought into contact with each other.

System of plug connectors fixed on mounting rails

A plug-in connector comprising a plug-in connector housing and a locking element for mechanically connecting the plug-in connector housing to a counterpart plug-in connector. The locking element is externally accessible on the plug-in connector housing. Protective elements, which protect the transition regions, are provided at transition regions between the plug-in connector housing and the locking element.

Surface-optimised plug-in connector

Disclosed is an electrical contact element for contacting an electrical strand conductor, wherein the electrical contact element has a connecting side and a plugging side. A splicing element is provided in a connecting sleeve that forms the connecting side so as to electrically contact an electrical strand conductor in a more effective manner. The splicing element is provided for the purpose of separating out the individual strands of the conductor, contacting as large as possible a surface of the individual strands and penetrating the surface of the strands during a squeezing or crimping action. The arrangement provides a reliable, electrical contact of strand conductors in which a surface of the individual strands that is not suitable for being contacted and is poorly conductive is penetrated.
