Plug-in contact pair - has locking long elements on male and female contacts and arms formed for unlocking whereby force applied to either element unlocks contacts

摘要

A male contact (1) has connectors (4,5) coupled to a pin-shaped coupling element (6) in a barrel-shaped plug (7) protruding from the contact. The connectors of a female contact (2) are coupled to a barrel-shaped coupling element (9). During connection, the plug of the male contact penetrates the cavity opening (11) of the female contact, so that the coupling elements penetrate coupling elements, forming a contact between them. The contacts are locked using long elements (12,13) and arms (16), either of which can be used for unlocking - Independent claims are included for a plug-in contact and an electric network component with a plug-in contact.
