Abstract
A device for mechanical and electrical connection of line wires in a cable to line connectors in an electrical assembly for a motor vehicle, wherein each line wire of the cable is connected to one line connector of the electrical assembly in such a manner that a form-locking unit, comprising a contact stud and a contact socket, is mechanically attached to the respective line connector via the contact stud, and furthermore, the respective line wire is mechanically attached to the contact stud of the form-locking unit, specifically providing an electrical contact between the line wire, the contact socket, and the line connector.
Claims12
A device for mechanically and electrically connecting a line wire of a cable with a line connector in an electrical assembly for a motor vehicle, the device comprising:
- a form-locking unit comprising a contact stud and a contact socket, the form-locking unit capable of being mechanically attached to the line connector via the contact stud, such that when the line wire connector is mechanically attached to the contact stud the line wire is electrically connected between the contact socket and the line connector;
- wherein the contact stud is formed in a recess in the contact socket;
- and
- wherein a form-locking connection of the contact stud and the contact socket is configured to prevent rotation between the contact stud and the contact socket.
