Abstract
A protective cap (4, 4′) for an electrical high-current plug connector (1) is substantially box-shaped and has at least one open side (5). The protective cap (4) has a gripping element (8) for fixing the protective cap (4, 4′) to a connection region (3, 3′, 3″) of the high-current plug connector (1), which is provided for connecting an electrical conductor. The gripping element (8) extends into the open side (5). The gripping element (8) has a pincer-like design with two arms (8a, 8b) which cross over each other or two arms (8a, 8b) oriented relative to each other in an S-shape. Each of the two arms (8a, 8b) is integrally formed on the protective cap (4, 4′) in a lower region and grips around the connection region (3, 3′, 3″) for a conductor to be connected in an upper region.
Claims8
A protective cap (4, 4′) for an electrical high-current plug connector (1),
- wherein the protective cap (4, 4′) has an essentially box-shaped form and has at least one open side face (5),
- wherein the protective cap (4) has a gripping element (8) for fixing the protective cap (4, 4′) on a connection region (3, 3′, 3″) of the high-current plug connector (1) which is provided for connecting an electrical conductor,
- wherein the gripping element (8) projects into the open side face (5),
- wherein the gripping element (8) has a pincer-like design,
- wherein the gripping element (8) has two arms (8a, 8b) which cross over each other or two arms (8a, 8b) oriented relative to each other in an S-shape, and
- wherein each of the two arms (8a, 8b) is integrally formed on the protective cap (4, 4′) in a lower region and grips around the connection region (3, 3′, 3″) for a conductor to be connected in an upper region.
