Problems solved by technology

According to the prior art, there is a risk that the connectors will not fully mate with the mating connectors, for example, because they are not properly latched in the fully mated position
As a result, the connector and mating connector can inadvertently become unmated, resulting in incorrect operation

Embodiment Construction

[0039] The following will refer to figure 1 An exemplary structure of a plug-in connector assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is first described, figure 1 A schematic perspective exploded view of the plug-in connector assembly 1 is shown. The plug-in connector assembly 1 comprises a connector 2 , a mating connector 3 , a locking member 4 and a spring arrangement 5 . The locking member 4 and the spring arrangement may but need not be considered as parts of and / or related to the connector 2 . The plug-in connector assembly 1 can be used to electrically connect and / or accommodate an electronic component 6, such as a filter for an airbag arrangement in a vehicle. An electronic component 6 can be received in the connector 2 .

[0040] Connector 2 has housing 20, and housing 20 comprises upper housing 20a and lower housing 20b, in connector from its pre-assembled state R (see figure 2 ) to an assembled state S (described later), the housing 20 provide...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrical connector (2), in particular for establishing an electrical connection with a squib of an airbag arrangement in a vehicle, the connector (2) being adapted to be mated with a mating connector (3) along a plug direction (P). Further, the invention relates to an electrical plug-in connector assembly (1), in particular for establishing an electrical connection with a squib of an airbag arrangement in a vehicle, comprising a connector (2), a mating connector (3) adapted to be mated with the connector (2) along a plug direction (P), via a spring-apart position (N), in which the connector (2) is at the most partly mated with the mating connector (3). In order to indicate that the connector (2) and / or the plug-in connector assembly (1) have not yet properly reached a fully mated position (M), the present invention provides a spring arrangement (5) providing a spring-apart face (52) facing into the plug direction (P) and being displaceable at the connector (2) against a spring-apart force (FA) acting in the plug direction (P), and / or a spring arrangement (5) exerting a spring-apart force (FA)) between the connector (2) and the mating connector (3) at least in the spring-apart position (N), the spring-apart force (FA) acting on the connector (2) in a direction opposite to the plug direction (P), respectively. In an advantageous embodiment, the spring-apart function can be disengaged by means of a locking member (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector, in particular for establishing an electrical connection with a squib of an air bag arrangement in a vehicle, which connector is adapted to mate with a mating connector in a plug direction. [0002] In addition, the present invention relates to an electrical plug-in connector assembly, in particular for establishing an electrical connection with an airbag of an airbag arrangement in a vehicle, comprising a connector and a mating connection adapted to mate with the connector via a spring-disengaged position along the plug direction connector, wherein the connector at most partially mates with the mating connector. Background technique [0003] Electrical connectors and electrical plug-in connector assemblies comprising a connector of the type described above and a mating connector are known. The connector assembly is used, for example, to establish an electrical connection with an airbag arrangement in a veh...
