摘要 |
An extension plug-in unit comprising a female connector (2) coupled to a first cable (1) and a male connector (4) coupled to a second cable (3), which connectors (2, 4) comprise contacts (7, 8) arranged to establish an electrical connection, the connectors forming a hinge joint when connected together. The extension plug-in unit is characterized in that the hinge joint (11) enables the coupling of the contacts by means of a lateral turning movement that makes the connectors parallel to one another, the connectors comprising stepped inner surfaces (9) whose opposite mating surfaces are provided with the contacts (7, 8), so that during the turning movement the flexibly supported wedge-shaped contact pins (7) of the male connector (4) press into the contact recesses (8) of the female connector (2) to establish an electrical connection.
