Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0038431A2] 1. An operational plug-in connector in which, contact tongues (18) provided on the outer side of a plug base (2a) insertable into a bushing (1) cooperate in each case with spring contacts (7) disposed in insulated manner e.g. pairwise on two opposite inside faces of the bushing (1) which contacts, in their upper area of the bushing (1) facing the plug (2), are constructed resiliently and in the manner of a bulge to contact with the plug contact tongues (18) and subsequently, on the area (8) constructed resiliently as a bulge, are provided with semi-circular contact camber (13) bent out further in the direction of the middle of the bushing housing, said chambers being forcibly opened in the plug-in condition, the length of the plug base (2a) being calculated in such a manner that its contact tongues (18) when the plug (2) is inserted end just before the contact chambers (13), characterised in that the spring contacts (7) oppositely placed in each instance are held in chambers of the bushing housing (3) delimited by stays (16) ehich correspond to their width, in that the contact chambers (13) extend into transversal elements (10a) directed substantially parallel with the bottom of the bushing and into connecting bends (10) pointing in the direction of the soldering lugs (9) which bends effect a resilient supporting on the vertical arms of the spring contacts (7) for the purpose of increasing the counter-pressure for the plug contacting in the area (8) constructed resiliently as a bulge, and in that an abutment for these bends (10) is formed by the side walls of a gap (14) which is disposed in the area of the bushing housing (3) facing away from the plug between said housing and the bushing holder (4).
