Plugs – the active plug side for detachable electrical connections on the vehicle
Plugs form the active, movable side of a connector and typically sit at the end of a cable or wiring harness. Through their contact pins they bring control elements, signal lines and lighting strings together with the on-board electrical system – quickly detachable for service and repair, and mechanically as well as electrically robust once mated. At SULEJ Ladebordwand you will find plugs for the replacement of damaged or corroded connectors on tail lifts, lift gates and adjacent body areas.
Round plugs, flat plugs and bayonet locking: common designs
The plug design determines how the plug side is guided in the mating part, retained and secured against accidental disconnection. Round plugs with a cylindrical housing centre via a circumferential collar and are often used in multi-pole versions. Flat plugs with a rectangular housing cross-section suit confined mounting situations. Bayonet locking plugs engage with the socket through a quarter turn in a positive-locking manner and reliably secure the connection against vibration in the demanding driving operation of a commercial vehicle.
