| 20120074954 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH CORROSION PREVENTION - The present invention relates to an electrical connector with at least one electrical contact for electrically contacting a corresponding mating connector. In particular, the present invention deals with connectors having a plug detecting unit for detecting a mated state of the connector and the mating connector. The present invention further relates to a corresponding method for detecting a mated state. Said connector comprises a plug detecting unit for detecting a mated state of the connector and the mating connector, wherein said plug detecting unit is operable to check the mated state by means of an intermittent test signal. Alternatively or additionally, the surfaces of first and second electrical contacts are covered with materials having a different oxidation potential, wherein a positive voltage of the test signal is applied to the electrical contact having the higher oxidation potential compared to the other electrical contact. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110247850 | Connecting arrangement for connecting supply lines of railway vehicles - The invention relates to a connecting arrangement for connecting supply lines across a gap between railway vehicles, comprising at least one flexible electrical power line and at least one flexible fluid line. To provide an improved connecting arrangement for electrically and pneumatically connecting railway vehicles or pantographs of a train, which is easy to handle and provides an increased reliability, the at least one power line and the at least one fluid line are preassembled to form an integral unitary structure. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110201225 | Electrical connector comprising a guiding protrusion or pocket with a flexible fastening member - The present invention relates to an electrical connector, a coupling electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly, the electrical connector including a guiding protuberance protruding from its socket face parallel to a coupling direction, the coupling electrical connector being designed with a guiding pocket for receiving the guiding protuberance. In order to improve the strength of a connection between the two electrical connectors, even when the electrical connector assembly experiences vibrations, the invention provides that at least one of the electrical connectors includes a fixing element which is elastically deformable on at least one section along a direction perpendicular to the coupling direction according to the invention. | 08-18-2011 |
