Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A telecommunications plug connector arrangement, comprising: a connector, including a connector housing and a connector tongue, supported by said connector housing and joined to said connector housing at a lower edge of said connector housing, said connector tongue having contact tracks; a connector/disconnector bank having parallel rows of clamping contact slots, each clamping contact slot including a contact element, and a center row of plug openings with contact springs for receiving an assigned tongue with contact tracks, said connector/disconnector bank being symmetrical about a longitudinal central axis; a projection connected to side of said connector housing, said projection extending beyond said lower edge of said connector housing; and, a cover engaging and covering one row of said clamping contact slots, so that in the event of misinsertion of said connector, said cover and said projection cooperate thereby preventing a connector tongue from being positioned incorrectly in a corresponding plug opening.
