MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517071656 A) filed by Harting Electric Stiftung & Co. Kg, Espelkamp, Germany, on July 28, for 'high-current plug-in connector system and method for setting its total disconnection force.'

Inventor(s) include Riepe, Dieter; and Beneke, Jan Andree.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The problem addressed by the invention is to allow adjustment of the total disconnection force for a high-current plug-in connector system to a predefined value using simple means and to make corresponding upgrading of existing high-current plug-in connector systems as straightforward as possible. For this purpose, the invention proposes equipping a plug-in connector (1) and a mating plug-in connector (2) of the plug-in connector system with at least one further plug-in contact (100) and, respectively, at least one further mating plug-in contact (200). The at least one further plug-in contact (100) and the at least one further mating plug-in contact (200) can be plug-connected to each other and, in the plug-connected state, disconnected from each other again with the application of an individual disconnection force and are thus jointly designed for generating a predefined amount of said total disconnection force for the plug-in connector system. As a result, the desired total disconnection force can be set by selecting the suitable further plug-in contacts and mating plug-in contacts and, for example, the current intensity actually used can be adapted individually, for example by the end user, with only a small amount of effort, such that connections that transmit particularly high electric current are also particularly difficult to disconnect, in particular for safety reasons."

The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 09, 2024, under International application No.PCT/DE2024/100014.
