SEALING OF A SUSPENDED CONTACT PIN

摘要

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.
