Plug-in connector with a heat capacity element arranged on a contact element

Abstract: A plug-in connector part for connection to a mating plug-in connector part includes: a housing which has a plug-in portion for plug-in connection to the plug-in connector part; at least one contact element, arranged in the plug-in portion and having a shaft portion, for electrically contacting an associated mating contact element of the mating plug-in connector part; and a heat capacity element, which is arranged on the shaft portion of the at least one contact element and rigidly connected to the shaft portion, for absorbing heat from the at least one contact element

PE-Anschluss für Steckverbinder

Abstract: Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich allgemein auf das Gebiet der Klemmenadapter und Kontakteinsatze fur schwere Industriesteckverbinder in der Automobil-, Maschinenindustrie, im Anlagenbau und Mess- und Regelungstechnik. Die Klemmenadapter bestehen in der Regel aus Steckverbinder-Kontakteinsatzen, einem Gehause und/oder nachgeordneten Reihenklemmen, die mit einem PE-Schutzleitersystem ausgestattet sind. Erfindungsgemas wird das PE-Schutzleitersystem aus der Zughulsentechnik gebildet. Zur Aufnahme der Klemmenverbindung aus der Zughulsentechnik wird erfindungsgemas einstuckiges Metallteil mit Metallrahmen fur die Zughulse gebildet.

Method, electronic component and system for the diagnosis of communication connections

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for diagnosing communication connections in a communication system The invention enables the provision of a plurality of first diagnosis units and at least one second diagnosis unit, wherein the first and second diagnosis units each are assigned to a communication connection of the communication system and are configured for determining a value of a diagnosis variable of the respectively assigned communication connections, and provides for determining a value of at least one diagnosis variable by each of the first diagnosis units, determining a value of at least one diagnosis variable by the at least one second diagnosis unit, transferring the values determined by the first diagnosis units to an evaluation unit, statistically evaluating the transferred values by the evaluation unit, and diagnosing the values determined by the at least one second diagnosis unit depending on the statistical evaluation by the evaluation unit

Overvoltage protection equipment

Abstract: Overvoltage protection equipment may include: a first connection; a second connection; a first discharge path disposed between the first and the second connections, wherein the first discharge path comprises a spark gap; a second discharge path disposed between the first and the second connections, wherein the second discharge path comprises a triggerable circuit breaker and a thermistor connected in series; and a control device that induces the triggerable circuit breaker to switch on, based on at least one of a state or a state path of the first discharge path as a result of a discharge event.

Connection device for photovoltaic modules and method for installing same

Abstract: A connecting device for photovoltaic-capable insulating glass comprises at least one retaining device laterally attached to the photovoltaic-capable insulating glass. In its installed state, the retaining device is open on at least one side which faces the intermediate space so that at least one ribbon is insertable into a clamping device inserted in the retaining device, and wherein the ribbon establishes an electrical contact for a photovoltaic device accommodated in the at least one intermediate space, and wherein the clamping device is provided with an electrical supply line such that the clamping device establishes an electrical clamping contact between the at least one ribbon and the electrical supply line.
