Disclosed are a locking device and an assembly of conjugated electric connectors equipped with the locking device. The device includes: at least one latch presenting a first locking relief, at least one bolt that can be inserted into the latch, and a flexible tongue received in a casing of the bold, the tongue being provided with a second locking relief forming a fitting with the first locking relief. Application includes the implementation of connectors and in particular of high-power connectors for vehicles and electric pieces of equipment.

The locking fastening device for two-part electrical connectors with axial coupling includes two male mistake-proofing mechanisms and two female mistake-proofing mechanisms included in the parts. The mistake-proofing mechanisms are positioned on both sides of the contacts of the two parts of the male and female electrical connector and respectively includes at least a protuberance and a bore axially cooperative to produce the fastening of the parts, during coupling.

An adapter system for the electrical connection of a connector of a cabling to different contact arrangements of different charging sockets along a connection axis includes an adapter housing and a fastening element attaching the adapter housing to one of the charging sockets. The adapter housing has a contact surface extending perpendicularly to the connection axis and a plurality of contact openings extending along the connection axis. The contact surface is disposed at an end of the adapter housing on a socket side. An end of the adapter housing on a cable side has a cabling interface connecting to the connector. The end of the adapter housing on the socket side is attachable to each of the charging sockets by the fastening element with the contact surface in a predetermined rotational position relative to the connection axis.

A connector having enhanced protection against arcing during live or hot connection of a plug assembly to a receptacle assembly. The terminals of the connector, including the connection point of exposed wiring, are electrically isolated from each other with dielectric barriers built in to the connector, such as polymer partitions. Accordingly, protection against arcing is provided in a connector that is assembled fast and inexpensively, without need for a time consuming installation of wire and terminal coatings or sleeves (e.g., shrink tube), and with greater reliability. The connector can be used in a modular system for decorative lighting and having a controller module that is not hard wired to a light string. Use of the controller module independent of any of the light strings enables the controller to be used with any light string or with a replacement light string, in the event that the immediately connected light string fails.

A male plug connector having a contact support (1) with at least one contact chamber (2), wherein a contact partner (7) is mounted in the at least one contact chamber (2), wherein the contact partner (7) has a primary locking tab (10) that cooperates with its contact chamber (2), wherein a locking element (6) that can be displaced between a prelocking position and a final locking position is mounted on and/or in the contact support (2), wherein the locking element (6) is designed to secondarily lock the contact partner (7) having a secondary locking tab (12) when the contact partner (2) is located in its specified position in its contact chamber (2) and the locking element (6) has been displaced from its prelocking position into its final locking position, characterized in that, in addition to the secondary locking tab (12) of the contact partner (7), a locking web (13) that cooperates with the locking element (6) is mounted on the contact partner (7).

A system for transmitting a piece of information to a subunit, including at least one connection position and at least one subunit, the at least one connection position being configured for accommodating a subunit, and the at least one connection position including at least one coding lug which is configured for engaging into a corresponding recess on a subunit, the arrangement of the at least one coding lug coding the piece of information to be transmitted, and the at least one subunit having at least one recess which is configured for contactlessly detecting the presence of a coding lug in a recess.

An electrical component (1) having a housing (2) and having a plurality of plug contacts (3, 4,5, 6). In this case, the plug contact (3-6) is held in a floating manner on a contact mount (7), and the contact mount (7) is held in a floating manner on the housing (2).

Electrical connectors for interconnecting circuit boards. One such connector includes an integral flange for mounting a guidance pin in any of multiple orientations. A corresponding keying block may have a polarization component that can be mounted in a corresponding number of positions. The connector can accept conductive elements with different shapes for signals and grounds, but the housing may be adapted to receive either type of contact in any contact location. Protection of contact elements from excessive yield is provided within the insulative housing of the backplane connector. On the daughter card connector, height difference between ground and signal contacts in wafer assemblies protects components from electrostatic discharge.
