    摘要: The invention relates to a contact element (1), an electrical connector (67) for providing an electric connection with a mating connector (69) and to an electrical connector assembly (65). Contact elements (1), electrical connectors (67) and corresponding electrical connector assemblies (65) are made cheaper in their production and are provided with an easier geometry in that the contact element (1) comprises a frame (11) and at least one contact spring (13), wherein the at least one contact spring (13) has a fixed end (19), the fixed end (19) being fixed to a first region (15) of the frame (11), and a free end (21) opposite the fixed end (19), wherein the frame (11) further comprises a second region (17) being arranged opposite the first region (15) and spaced apart from the first region (15) by a gap (23), wherein the at least one contact spring (13) extends from the first region (15) across the gap (23) to the second region (17), and wherein the free end (21) overlaps the second region (17). The electrical connector (67) comprises a connector housing (71) for receiving the contact element (1). The electrical connector assembly (65) comprises an electrical connector (67) and a mating connector (69).

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a female electrical terminal (1) comprising the steps of providing a sheet metal blank, and forming the sheet metal blank (200) to comprise a wiring portion (5) for the attaching of an electrical wire, and a receiving portion (3) for the receiving of a male electrical terminal (100) in a receiving direction (R), the receiving portion (3) comprising a base portion (13) and two lateral portions (15a, 15b), each lateral portion (15a, 15b) comprising, respectively an end portion (17a, 17b) configured to form a top surface (19a, 19b) of the receiving hollow (7), at least one link beam (21a, 21b, 23a, 23b) linking the end portion (17a, 17b) to the base portion (13), and a support beam (27a, 27b) also linking the end portion (17a, 17b) to the base portion (13). The method comprises a further step of bending the lateral portions (15a, 15b) to form the receiving hollow (7) and an additional step d) of modifying, in particular, reducing, at least one dimension (T, W, L) of the support beam (27a, 27b). The invention further relates to a female electrical terminal (1), and to an electrical terminal assembly comprising a female electrical terminal (1)

    摘要: The present invention concerns an electrical connector which can be plugged into a mating electrical connector along a plug-in direction, as well as an assembly comprising a compression spring (16) and a one-piece housing (12) comprising a recess (34) which is sized to receive the compression spring (16). The electrical connector further comprises a position assurance element (18) of the connector, termed the "CPA", with a head (44) configured so as to be disposed in the recess (34) and the head (44) is inserted through a first end (42) of the compression spring (16). When being plugged in, the first end (42) of the compression spring (16) exerts a force on the position assurance element (18) of the connector only, the position assurance element (18) exerting a force on the one-piece housing (12), and a second end (56) of the compression spring (16), which is opposite to the first end (42) along the longitudinal axis (A) of the spring, exerts a force on only the recess (34) of the one-piece housing (12).

    摘要: The invention relates to a seal (1) for an angled connector (40), the seal (1) having a planar plate-shaped configuration and the seal (1) having a rim wall (2) that encloses a central opening (4), wherein at least one sealing passage (6) extends from outside the seal (1) through the rim wall (2) into the central opening (4). Due to the planar plate-shaped configuration of the inventive seal (1) an essentially uniform contact interface may be provided between a connector housing (41) and the seal (1). Thus, the reliability and sealing performance of the seal (1) may be improved.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a locking assurance device (100) for an electrical connector system (500) comprising two mating connector housings (200, 400), the device (100) comprising at least one spring and being configured for being movably accommodated in the first housing (200) such that a displacement of the device (100) from a delivery position causes a loading of said at least one spring opposing the mating of the housings (200, 400) as long as the electrical connector system (500) is not in a locking state and the device (100) is not returned in its delivery position. The device (100) is further configured such that, in the locking state, a displacement of the device (100) from the delivery position causes a loading of the said at least one locking spring authorizing the unlocking of the housings (200, 400).
