Electric or electronic device

Abstract: The device has a locking unit (7) provided for locking an inserted connector (4) and arranged at a housing (2) in an area within a plug connection in a pivotable manner. The locking unit is designed in U-shape and has a U-ridge covering the connector and a U-side piece designed as a resting unit, where the U-side piece overlaps a front edge of the connector. The locking unit has another U-side piece engaging a rear edge of the connector, and has a rotational axis that is arranged in a transition area of the ridge to the latter side piece. An independent claim is also included for an electronic housing comprising two plug connectors.

Circuit device for switching inductive loads for high load applications, has change relay coupled with main relay, and control electronics unit formed to control main and change relays such that change relay is switched in load-free manner

Abstract: The device (10) has a main relay (20) comprising spring contacts (26) and a fixed contact (27), and a change relay (30) coupled with the main relay. The change relay comprises a switching spring contact (36), an opener fixed contact (39) and a closer fixed contact (37), at which a load current circuit is switched on. A control electronics unit (40) is formed to control the main relay and the change relay such that the change relay is switched in a load-free manner. The main relay comprises a blow magnet and a bridge closer. The spring contact and the fixed contact are designed as work contacts or normally-closed contacts.

Automation device and method for reducing jitter

Abstract: The invention relates to an automation device (200), which has an operating system (210) having a first system clock pulse and a communication system (230) having a second system clock pulse. The first system clock pulse is intended to control a system time cycle (213) of the operating system (210), and the second system clock pulse is intended to control a system time cycle (231) of the communication system (230). Furthermore, the first system clock pulse and the second system clock pulse are synchronized.

Plug connector used for connecting electrical components and/or electrical devices e.g. machines, has latching hook disengaged from latching protrusion in unlocking position, along direction tangential to insertion direction of a plug

Abstract: The connector has two plugs (1,2) having respective plug contacts or sockets which form an electrical connection, in the assembled state of plugs. The plug (1) has latching protrusion and the plug (2) has coupling element (5). The coupling element has a latching hook (8) for latching with the latching protrusion, in the assembled state of plugs. The latching hook of coupling element is engaged with the protrusion, in the locking position, and the hook is disengaged from protrusion, in the unlocking position, along the direction tangential to insertion direction (6) of plug (2).

Clamp/plug connector for through-wall connection having wedge-shaped attachment

Abstract: A clamp/plug connector for through-wall connection includes a clamp housing of an insulating material. A locking element is provided for attaching the clamp housing to a wall. A pivotable actuation wedge is connected as a single piece to the locking element.
