Electrical plug connection for airbag control device, has short circuit bridging unit displaced with respect to housing during separation or disconnection of plugs, and electrically connecting contacts with each other by displacement

摘要

The connection has two plugs (2, 4) that are interlocked, where each plug has a housing (16) and a number of electrical contacts (14) within the housing. The plug (2) has a movable short circuit bridging unit (38) with a number of openings (48) for the contacts, which are to be bridged or short-circuited. The bridging unit is displaced with respect to the housing during separation or disconnection of the plugs, and electrically connects the contacts with each other by the displacement, where the unit is made of an electrically conducting material.
