Contact housing for headlamp of motor vehicle, has testing element support running between contact support and module support, and opening connecting contact support with module support

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The housing (2) has a contact support for accommodating a contact element in an assembling direction (I). A testing element support (22a) runs transverse to the contact support. A plug-in condition of the contact element is tested by a test element of the element support. A slot-like module support runs parallel to the contact support, and is separated from the contact support with a wall. A contact module is held in the module support. The element support runs between the contact support and the module support. An opening (23a) connects the contact support with the module support. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for testing a plug-in condition of a contact element while assembling an electrical plug element. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Contact housing for an electrical plug element e.g. plug contact and/or pin contact, of a plug-in connector that is utilized in a headlamp of a motor vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The testing element support runs between the contact support and the module support, where the opening connects the contact support with the module support, thus assembling a modular electrical plug element in a simple, compact and efficient manner while the assembling process of the plug element is flexible. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic left side view of a contact housing.
