Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical plug connector including a pin-shaped plug and a sleeve-shaped coupling which encloses the plug with an intermediary cavity and open washer shaped spring elastic contact elements which are arranged in the cavity. In order to provide a good electrical contact the invention proposes two inward protruding knobs of the contact elements, wherein the knobs are arranged opposite to one another. Outward protruding knobs limit a maximum deformation of the contact elements and thus prevent a mechanical overload of the contact elements.
Claims9
An electrical plug connector, comprising:
- a pin-shaped plug;
- a sleeve-shaped coupling which encloses the plug with an intermediary cavity in an inserted condition of the plug;
- and
- an electrically conductive contact element arranged in the intermediary cavity and configured as an interrupted ring which is spring elastic transversal to an insertion direction and which contacts the coupling and the plug in an inserted condition and which connects the plug and the coupling in an electrically conductive manner,
- wherein the contact element includes inward protruding knobs and outward protruding knobs,
- wherein the inward protruding knobs contact the plug in the inserted condition of the plug,
- wherein a gap is provided between the outward protruding knobs and the coupling.
