Patent ID: 7402058

Claim:
A plug connector assembly including at least a first and a second plug connector, each plug connector consisting of a single pole connector having a plug body ( 1 ) and an engaging part ( 2 ), whereby each plug body ( 1 ) is provided with short circuit contacts that consist of spring contacts ( 9 ) and counter-contacts ( 10 ), and whereby the spring contacts ( 9 ) of said first plug connector contacts the counter-contacts of said second plug connector in a non-plugged position of plug body ( 1 ) and engaging part ( 2 ) of each plug connector, and wherein the short circuit contacts short-circuit a first conductor coupled to said plug body ( 1 ) of said first plug connector to a second conductor coupled to said second plug connector, whereby further each of the engaging parts ( 2 ) include at least one separating element ( 11 ) of an insulating material that, in a plugged position of the plug body ( 1 ) and the engaging part ( 2 ), is pressed into the plug body ( 1 ) thereby eliminating the short circuit between the spring contacts ( 9 ) of the first plug connector and the counter-contacts ( 10 ) of the second plug connector, wherein each plug body ( 1 ) consists of modules ( 3 ) that are configured to be positioned one against the other, and each engaging part ( 2 ) consists of modules ( 4 ) that are configured to be positioned one against the another, whereby each of the plug body modules ( 3 ) include on a first joint side ( 5 ) a counter-contact ( 10 ) and on a second, opposing joint side ( 6 ) at least one spring contact ( 9 ) having at least one contact position ( 23 ), and whereby the contact position ( 23 ) is disposed at a height that is the same height as the counter-contact ( 10 ) on an adjacent plug body-modules ( 3 ), and further, wherein the plug body-modules ( 3 ) are so formed at least on one of their joint sides ( 5 , 6 ) such that a joint space ( 12 ) exists between the joint sides ( 5 , 6 ) of adjacent plug body-modules ( 3 ) and that spring contacts ( 9 ) and the counter-contact ( 10 ) of an adjacent plug body-modules ( 3 ) contact each other, and further, whereby each of the engaging part-modules ( 4 ) include a separating element ( 11 ) that is configured to fit into the joint spaces ( 12 ) in a position between the spring-contacts ( 9 ) and the counter-contacts ( 10 ) between adjacent plug body modules ( 3 ) when in the plugged position, thereby eliminating the short circuit between the spring contacts ( 9 ) of the first plug connector and the counter-contacts ( 10 ) of the adjacent second plug connector.
