Plug connector arrangement, e.g. for airbag system, has short circuit contact with contact surfaces transverse to contacts, spreading plug with control surfaces between contact elements

摘要

The plug connector arrangement has a first plug connector (8) with a plug housing and at least two contacts (3, 4) in contact chambers and a short circuit contact (2) with sprung contact surfaces (15,16) that are in contact with the contacts in the uncoupled state. A second complementary plug connector (9) has an accommodation housing for the plug housing, at least two complementary contact elements (5,6) and a protrusion with control surfaces that separate the contact surfaces from the contacts when the complementary connector is coupled. The short circuit contact is arranged with the contact surfaces transverse with respect to the contacts and the protrusion as a spreading plug (27) with the control surfaces transversely between the contact elements.
