A plug connector includes an insulative housing with mating slot, contacts disposed in the housing by two sides of the mating slot, and a pair of side arms located by two opposite ends of the mating slot in a horizontal transverse direction. a receptacle connector includes an insulative housing defining a horizontal mating tongue; contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed upon two opposite surfaces of the mating tongue; and a monolithic horizontal metallic shielding plate disposed and extending substantially fully the mating tongue. The shielding plate defines side protruding edge sections exposed outside of corresponding side edges of the mating tongue and a notch structure on each side protruding edge section, the pair of side arms each defines a hook structure to engagement with the notch structure.

An electrical plug connector, having an insulating part and an inner-conductor contact element pair for differential signal transmission. The inner-conductor contact element pair comprises first and second inner-conductor contact elements, which extend through the insulating part. The inner-conductor contact elements, proximate a first end of the insulating part, have a contact section for contacting an inner conductor of a corresponding counterpart plug connector and proximate a second end of the insulating part, have a press-in pin for pressing into a metal-plated recess of an electrical assembly. The inner-conductor contact elements each have one support shoulder via which a pressing-in force can be introduced for pressing the press-in pin into the metal-plated recess. The support shoulder is along the central axis of the inner-conductor contact element. The inner-conductor contact elements each have a support surface averted from the support shoulder to support the inner-conductor contact element in the insulating part.

A high-current contact device includes a first contact element transmitting electrical energy, a circuit carrier, a first data contact transmitting data, and a data interface. The first contact element extends through the circuit carrier along a mating axis at a feedthrough. A conductor track of the circuit carrier electrically connects the first data contact to the data interface. A carrier of the circuit carrier is injection-molded and mechanically supports the first data contact, the conductor track, and the data interface.

A vehicle charge port assembly includes a housing having a port configured to couple to a charge-station coupler. The port includes a plurality of terminals and a back cover attached to a back side of the housing and defining openings that receive the terminals. The port further includes wires, each joined to one of the terminals, and seals each encircling one of the wires and disposed in a corresponding one of the openings.

An intelligent switch for automotive application. In particular, a resettable and/or programmable fuse comprising at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and a switch circuit electrically connecting the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet. In order to provide an intelligent switch for automotive applications that provides more than one switching function, the switch circuit comprises at least two switching submodules selected from an electromechanical switching submodule and an electric switching submodule. The intelligent switch further comprises a control unit for controlling an operating state of the at least two switching submodules.

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal that is mounted to a support structure. The assembly also includes a stabilizer that has a slot that receives a free end of the electrical terminal. The assembly further includes a first spring that operatively supports the stabilizer relative to support structure. The first spring biases the stabilizer away from the support structure to a pre-staged position. The first spring is configured to flex from the pre-staged position to an assembled connector position in which more of the free end protrudes through the slot than in the pre-staged position. The first spring extends from each of opposing sides of a first post which is arranged at a first lateral edge of the stabilizer. A second post and a second spring are arranged at a second lateral edge of the stabilizer opposite the first lateral edge.

A circuit board for a high speed communication jack including a rigid circuit board in the housing having a substrate, a plurality of vias extending through the substrate with each via being configured to accommodate a pin on the housing, a plurality of traces on a middle layer in the substrate, with each trace extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of vias, a first shielding layer on a first side of the middle layer in the substrate, a second shielding layer on a second side of the middle layer in the substrate, and a third shielding layer adjacent to the second shielding layer.

A connector includes an insulation housing formed with a plurality of terminal slots, and a plurality of terminals inserted into the plurality of terminal slots. Each of the plurality of terminals has a pin protruding from a bottom of the insulation housing for insertion into a terminal hole in a circuit board. At least one latch is formed on the insulation housing for insertion and locking into a latch hole defined in the circuit board.

A plug-in connector with a plug side and a connector side is provided, the plug-in connector comprising a housing, a frame, and at least one contact insert. The contact insert comprises sensors and a circuit board with electronics. According to prior art, the risk of overheating of the electronics, occurring inside the plug-in connector as a result of power dissipation, is a reason for the failure of plug-in connectors known to date. Embodiments described herein ensure heat dissipation via a cooling element so that overheating is prevented.

The invention relates to an electrical plug-in connector, in particular for the combined transmission of data and electrical power, comprising a housing, comprising a plurality of first contact areas for connection to matching contact areas of a further plug-in connector, comprising a plurality of electrically conductive conductor arrangements in the housing and comprising a plurality of connection contacts for connection to a line which leads to the plug-in connector, wherein in each case a first contact area is connected to a connection contact by means of a conductor arrangement, wherein at least one of the conductor arrangements has means for disconnecting and closing an electrically conductive connection using this conductor arrangement.
