Sealing of spring-loaded contact pin
First Claim
1. A connector with a housing having a front side comprising:
- at least one spring contact arranged in the housing for establishing electrical contacts which can be released, each spring contact including;
a first contact pin axially positionable; and
having a contact-side end facing said front side of the housing;
a sealing element covering the front side of the housing and sealing said side against a first predetermined fluid pressure, said sealing element including at least one through hole;
a second contact pin arranged within the through hole, including a first contact-side end facing the spring contacts, and a second contact-side end facing away from the front side of the housing, said second contact pin arranged within the through hole such that the second contact pin seals the through hole against a second predetermined fluid pressure;
at least one through hole arranged with the second contact pin such that a first contact pin with the contact-side end mechanically strikes the first contact-side end of a second contact pin establishing electrical contact between the first and second contact pin.

Abstract
A connector having a housing and at least one spring contact for establishing releasable electrical contacts. Each spring contact has a first contact pin axially movable, and a contact-side end facing a front side of the housing. A planar sealing element is arranged at the front side of the housing, and seals against a first predetermined fluid pressure. At least one through hole is in the sealing element within which a second contact pin is arranged. The second contact pin has a first contact-side end facing the spring contacts, and a second contact side end facing away from the front side of the housing. The second contact pin is arranged within the through hole and seals the through hole against a second predetermined fluid pressure. The first contact pin with the contact-side end mechanically hits the contact-side end of the second contact pin-establishing electrical contact.

35. A connector with a housing having a front side comprising:
-
at least one spring contact arranged in the housing for establishing electrical contacts which can be released, each spring contact including; a first contact pin axially positionable; and having a contact-side end facing said front side of the housing; a sealing element covering the front side of the housing and sealing said side against a first predetermined fluid pressure, said sealing element including at least one through hole; a second contact pin arranged within the through hole, including a first contact-side end facing the spring contacts, and a second contact-side end facing away from the front side of the housing, said second contact pin arranged within the through hole such that the second contact pin seals the through hole against a second predetermined fluid pressure, said second contact pin including a central section arranged within the through hole of the sealing element, and having the first and second contact-side ends of the second contact pin arranged outside of the through hole of the sealing element; at least one through hole arranged with the second contact pin such that a first contact pin with the contact-side end mechanically strikes the first contact-side end of a second contact pin establishing electrical contact between the first and second contact pin wherein the at least one second contact pin includes a maximum outer diameter in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the second contact pin on its first and second contact-side ends greater than the maximum outer diameter in the central section of the second contact pin.
