Abstract
A plug-in connector (10) for a control unit (100) of a window opener in a motor vehicle, including a box-like housing (1). The plug-in connector (10) includes a plurality of motor connections (2), situated in corresponding longitudinal seats (4). Each motor connection (2) includes a base (21), partially embedded in the box-like housing (1) and a terminal, clamp portion (22), which engages with a relative comb connector (3) of the complementary female connector. A longitudinal slot (25) is made in an intermediate portion (24) of the connection (2). The areas (26a, 27a) joining longitudinal prongs (26, 27) and the base (21), and the areas (26b, 27b) joining the prongs and the clamp portion (22), deform, like hinge points of a pivot parallelogram.
Claims9
A plug-in connector, associated to a control unit (100) of a window control unit in a motor vehicle, the plug-in connector including a box-like housing (1) with a portion (101) shaped in such a way, as to couple precisely with a corresponding complementary connector of a motor group of said window opener;
- and at least one motor connection (2), whose base (21) is partially embedded in said box-like housing (1) and whose terminal, clamp portion (22) engages with a relative comb connector (3) of said complementary connector, to establish an electric contact therewith, said plug-in connector (10) being characterized in that each motor connection (2) has a longitudinal slot (25), situated in an intermediate portion (24) of said connection (2), between said base (21) and clamp portion (22), to define, in said intermediate portion (24), a pair of longitudinal prongs (26, 27), areas (26a, 27a) joining said prongs (26, 27) and said base (21), and areas (26b, 27b) joining said prongs and said clamp portion (22), deforming, due to stresses applied to said clamp portion (22), like hinge points of a pivot parallelogram, so that said clamp portion (22) translates in a direction substantially perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.
