Abstract
An electrical connector includes a connector housing configured for mating with a corresponding counter-connector. Further, the electrical connector has an electrical contacting means arranged in the connector housing and configured for electrically contacting with the electrical conductor. The electrical contacting means is further configured for establishing an electrical contact with the counter-connector. Moreover, the electrical connector includes an insulative sleeve attachable to the electrical contacting means. The insulative sleeve is shaped to prevent a finger of a human from touching the electrical contacting means.
Claims17
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a connector housing configured to mate with a corresponding counter-connector;
- an electrical contacting means arranged in the connector housing and configured to electrically contact the electrical conductor, wherein the electrical contacting means is further configured to establish electrical contact with the counter-connector, and
- an insulative sleeve attachable to the electrical contacting means, wherein the insulative sleeve is shaped to prevent a finger of a human from touching the electrical contacting means, wherein the insulative sleeve comprises a substantially hollow cylindrical shape and wherein the electrical contacting means has a through hole shaped to at least partially receive the insulative sleeve therein.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a connector housing configured to mate with a corresponding counter-connector;
- an electrical contacting means arranged in the connector housing and configured to electrically contact the electrical conductor, wherein the electrical contacting means is further configured to establish electrical contact with the counter-connector, and
