An electrical connection mount extending along an axial direction and comprising a movable element that can move along the axial direction between a contact position and an insulated position, wherein the movable element is configured to come into contact with at least one complementary contact of a complementary electrical connection mount in the contact position while the movable element is configured to be remote from the at least one complementary contact of the complementary electrical connection mount in the insulated position, the electrical connection mount comprising a displacement mechanism configured to move the movable element between the contact position and the insulated position when the electrical connection mount and the complementary electrical connection mount are engaged with each other and rotated relative to each other around the axial direction.

A connector 10 is provided with electrically conductive inner conductors 11, an outer conductor 13 made of die casting for surrounding the inner conductors 11, an insulating housing 14 into which the outer conductor 13 is mounted, and a coupling member 15 for coupling the outer conductor 13 and the housing 14 to each other.

A connecting plug includes a locking pin arranged at a connector face. The locking pin has at least one latching element and a counter-piece. The latching element is configured for engaging with at least one counter-latching element of a second connector part. The locking pin includes a spring element configured for resiliently pressing the at least one latching element and the counter-piece against each other. The counter-piece is shaped and configured for pressing the at least one latching element in a radially outward direction and for positively locking the at least one latching element in an engaged position as soon as the at least one latching element is engaged with the at least one counter-latching element.

On a round plug, outwardly directed detent hooks are arranged between a plug-in region and a contact carrier portion of an insulating body or a base portion of the round plug housing. A mating connector has, on a plug-in side of a threaded portion, an inwardly directed circumferential or interrupted detent lug. The detent arms do not need to reach through the threaded portion. The detent arms can therefore be made particularly strong, and the inner thread can be continuous. The retaining forces of the locking/screwing are thus very high, and the detent arms for example can be integrally molded on a plastic insulation body, and thus be formed in one piece therewith, for simplified production. Operation and manufacture are significantly simplified.

A cable connector includes an outer shell having a bore extending between a mating end and a cable end. The outer shell has latch pockets. The cable connector includes a shield received in the outer shell that divides the bore into chambers. The cable connector includes contact holders received in corresponding chambers. Each contact holder includes at least one contact channel and a deflectable latch having a latching head at a distal end of the latch configured to be received in the corresponding latch pocket of the outer shell to axially secure the contact holder in the outer shell. The latch has an interference bump at an inner end of the latch configured to engage the shield to press the latching head of the latch outward. The cable connector includes contacts received in corresponding contact channels of the corresponding contact holders.

A patient monitoring system has a patient monitor and a patient sensor connected to the patient monitor by a measurement cable. An electrical connector between the end of the measurement cable and the patient monitor has a male part with a shroud around a set of pins and a female part with a recess around a set of openings. An annular seal is provided between a surface of the shroud and a surface of the recess.

A new and improved intrinsically safe barrier (“ISB”) provides advantages in connection with installation of field equipment in hazardous areas including Division 2/Zone 2 areas. In one embodiment the new ISB provides a pluggable/unpluggable ISB for use with a receiving terminal base adapted for individual field mounting and alternatively for use with a circuit mount terminal base to permit direct mounting of ISB on circuit boards. A highly effective heat sink design and potting material allows for heat dissipation to allow the ISB to serve a wider range of applications.

A magnetic latching connector for making electrical connections between cables, electrical power and signal sources, equipment and the like in a variety of medical and other applications in which it is desired to have the connection maintained with a predetermined amount of magnetic attractive force. The magnetic latching connector generally includes male and female connector components. The male and female connector components comprise male and female couplings and male and female coupling housings. The male and female coupling housings enclose electrical connections between the male and female couplings and electrical cables. Recessed within the male and female couplings are electrically conductive pins and sockets and male and female magnetic latching elements. When the male and female connector components are coupled, the pins and sockets provide electrical connections and the recessed magnetic latching elements provide a predetermined magnetic attraction force to maintain the connections.
