  • the holder and bearing of the first contact elements 12 relative to the housing 10 is not shown for reasons of clarity in all figures.
  • the first contact elements 12 are plate-shaped and arranged substantially parallel to each other, so that respective wide sides 22 of adjacent first contact elements 12 face each other.
  • the housing 10 has a male end 14 for mating engagement with a complementary connector (not shown) and a cable end 16 for electrical and mechanical connection to an electrically conductive cable (not shown).
  • the connector is shown to the plug-side end 14 and the cable end 16 is cut off.
  • the cable-side end 16 and the plug-side end 14 of the housing 10 is cut off.
  • the first contact elements 12 each have a free end 18, which faces the plug-side end 14. On the free end 18, an end cap 20 made of an electrically insulating material is applied to each end face. Otherwise, the first contact elements 12 are made of an electrically conductive material and destined to an electrical contact corresponding contact elements in a complementary, mating with the connector according to the invention complementary connector (not shown) produce.
  • the housing 10 has a cover 24, which has openings 26 which are designed and arranged such that in each case a first contact element 12 engages through an opening 26.
  • the first contact elements 12 are movable relative to the housing 10 between a first position, as in FIG Fig. 1 and 2 represented, and a second position, as in Fig. 5 and 6 represented movably arranged.
  • the Fig. 3 and 4 branch an intermediate position of the first contact elements 12 between the first and second position.
  • a mechanism for moving the first contact elements 12 for reasons of clarity is not shown.
  • the first position the first contact elements 12 are retracted into a space bounded by the housing 10 and the cover 24.
  • the first contact elements 12 are pushed out of the housing 10 through the apertures 26 and accordingly project beyond the cover 24 or the housing 10 in the direction of the plug-side end 14.
  • the first contact elements 12 are extended from the first position through the cover 24 through to the second position, so that the first contact elements 12 electrically contact corresponding contact elements in the complementary connector. Conversely, before pulling back again from the connector according to the invention and the complementary connector, the first contact elements 12 are withdrawn from the second position back to the first position.
  • a corresponding first securing mechanism is provided, which only allows a movement of the first contact elements 12 from the first position to the second position when the connector according to the invention is fully inserted into the complementary connector.
  • a second securing mechanism is preferably provided, which prevents disassembly of the connector according to the invention and the complementary connector, as long as the first contact elements are outside the first position.
  • the connector according to the invention is connected at its cable end 16 with at least one electrically conductive cable.
  • a second contact element 28 fixed relative to the housing 10 is provided for each movable first contact element 12, as in FIG Fig. 7 and 8th shown. In the Fig. 7 and 8th For reasons of better clarity, only one pair of first and second contact elements 12, 28 is shown.
  • the second contact elements 28 are plate-shaped and in each case a pair of first and second contact element 12, 28 are arranged parallel to each other such that respective wide sides of the first and second contact element 12, 28 facing each other. Furthermore, in an overlap region 30 between the plate-shaped contact elements 12, 28 of a pair of first and second contact elements 12, 28, at least one helical spring 32 made of an electrically conductive and spring-elastic material is arranged.
  • a diameter the helical spring 32 and a distance of the plate-shaped contact elements 12, 28 and the wide sides 22 of a pair of first and second contact element 12,28 in the overlap region 30 is selected such that respective helical coils of the coil spring 32 having a first radial outside at the first Contact element 12 and with one of the first radial outer side opposite second outer side abut the second contact element 28, so that there is an electrical contact point with contact surface and contact pressure between the turns of the coil spring 32 and the respective contact element 12, 28.
  • the contact pressure adjusts itself in that the turns of the helical spring 32 are deflected out of a respective rest position relative to a longitudinal axis of the helical spring 32 or are tilted relative to the longitudinal axis of the helical spring 32. This is achieved in that a distance of the plate-shaped contact elements 12, 28 of a pair of first and second contact element 12, 28 is smaller than an outer diameter of the coil spring 32nd
  • the coil spring 32 is attached to the first contact element 12, so that the coil spring 32 moves with the first contact element 12. Accordingly, the turns of the coil spring 32 upon movement of the first contact element 12 along the second contact element 28 and thereby maintain a sufficient electrical connection between the two contact elements 12, 28 upright.
  • the second contact elements 28 each have a free end with an end face 34 on the front side, this free end facing the cable end 16 of the connector according to the invention.
  • the front end face 34 serves, for example, for electrical contacting with a wire or electrical line of a cable to be connected to the connector according to the invention.
  • the helical spring 32 is preferably annular and defines within this ring an area space. This surface is aligned at the boundaries of the coil spring 32 parallel to a longitudinal axis of the coil spring 32 at the appropriate location. Due to the annular formation of the Coil spring 32 forms this in principle a torus in space, which has two opposite axial end sides. According to the invention, the helical spring 32 is arranged in the overlapping region 30 between the two contact elements 12, 28 such that the helical spring 32 strikes the second contact element 28 with turns at one axial end on the first contact element 12 and with turns on the other, opposite axial end , like out Fig. 7 . 8th seen.
  • the contact elements 12,28 engages through the surface in the ring of the annular coil spring 32, but the electrical contact between the coil spring 32 and the contact elements 12, 28 takes place on axial end sides of the annular coil spring 32.
  • the area enclosed in the ring of the helical spring 32 partially surrounds the first contact element 12. This additionally assists in fixing the helical spring 32 not only at the location of the first contact element 12 but also against deformation of the annular arrangement of the helical spring 32 between the contact elements 12. 28th
