A shielding system for high-current applications, having a connecting cable that has an insulated conductor () and a cable shielding surrounding the insulated conductor, as well as a shielding housing having a feed-through. In addition, the shielding system has a hollow cylindrical and electrically conductive shielding sleeve. The insulated conductor is fed through the shielding sleeve. The shielding sleeve is situated in the area of the feed-through of the shielding housing, so that the shielding housing abuts a jacket surface of the shielding sleeve. The cable shielding lies against a jacket surface of the shielding sleeve. The cable shielding is electrically connected to the shielding housing via the shielding sleeve.

Shielding arrangement for high-current applications

A contact element for insertion in an insertion direction into a contact chamber of a plug-in connector. The contact element includes a housing extending in the insertion direction. The contact element furthermore includes a latching element connected to the housing, for latching into the contact chamber of the plug-in connector. The latching element has a cantilevered end region, the cantilevered end region having a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion. The first portion extends oppositely to the insertion direction, or the first portion points obliquely outward from the housing oppositely to the insertion direction. The second portion is bent over inward with respect to the first portion. At least one support element is provided between the first portion and the second portion, which element braces the second portion against the second portion upon said application of force onto the latching element.

Contact element

An electrical contact for plugging into a contact cavity of a plug-in connector. The electrical contact includes an elongated housing extending in the plug-in direction, and an elongated catch element for latching the contact in the contact cavity. The catch element is fixed in place on the housing by a first end. By a first section, the catch element elastically and obliquely projects from the housing in an outward direction, counter to the plug-in direction, and transitions from a second, self-supporting end of the catch element to a second section of the catch element, which is bent inwardly in the direction of the housing. The second section has a rear-side area whose surface normal extends essentially counter to the plug-in direction. A projection is situated on the rear-side area projecting from the rear-side area beyond a maximum longitudinal extension of the rear-side area, when viewed counter to the plug-in direction.

Catch element of a contact having a nose-shaped projection

A contact for a plug connector has: a housing; and a primary lance which projects obliquely outwardly over the housing counter to a plug-in direction and which is inwardly deflectable for restraining the contact plugged into a contact chamber of a plug connector. The primary lance has both a stiffened region and a resiliently deformable region which is curved and extends at least partially in the plug-in direction. The stiffened region has a crimp that extends in the longitudinal direction. A supporting region is additionally provided, against whose contact surface the primary lance rests in response to a tensile load on the contact.

Connector assembly contact having an outwardly projecting primary lance

A socket for a high-current plug-in connection is provided, which includes a contact sleeve and a hollow cylindrical contacting system. The contacting system includes a plurality of elongated contact lamellae, is situated in an inner area of the contact sleeve, and is supported with at least a portion of its outer wall on the inner wall. The contact lamellae extend between a first collar and a second collar of the contacting system. The socket includes a contact lamella, in an area between the first collar and second collar, having an arm, via which the contact lamella is additionally connected to a collar of the contacting system in a supporting manner.
