Definitions

  • the present invention is based on a corresponding to the preamble of Main claim designed connector part.
  • Such a connector part connected to an electrical line is intended to be connected in particular to another electrical line connected mating connector part an electrically conductive, releasable To enable connection to a downstream electrical unit.
  • EP 0 330 436 A2 is a preamble to the main claim
  • Corresponding electrical connector part has become known.
  • the Isolierstoffgepuruse this connector part has several in at least one Row-arranged, continuous chambers for receiving one each Plug contact element on.
  • To the one with the mating connector part in The connectable plug side is used to fix the plug contact elements provided between an unlocking and locking position movable latch part slidably held.
  • the latch part is replaced by a to be carried out parallel to the direction of insertion from the insertion side Postponement movement brought into its unlocked position and in this over cooperating with each other, on the latch part and on the insulating housing existing locking elements held.
  • the latch part is essentially frame-like formed and integrally has several protruding into the frame opening, locking pins running transversely to the direction of insertion.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to create a connector part with a locking part, which starts from the Unlocking position only through a consciously controlled movement in brought into its locking position and locked there particularly securely can and which is designed in one piece such that the Plug connector part only with appropriately trained, actually for a connection provided counter-plug contact parts can be coupled.
  • the object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of the main claim. It is advantageous with such a design that different discrete assignments to different mating plug-in contact parts are possible only by replacing the locking part and that a plug-in contact family can thus be implemented in a simple manner.
  • the insulating housing 1 has five, arranged in a row next to one another, continuous chambers 2, each of the five chambers 2 for receiving a Plug contact element 3 is provided.
  • the plastic locking part 6 has essentially the Shape of an oval frame.
  • On the two semicircular wall areas of the Bolt part 6 is formed in each case a locking element designed as a locking arm 7.
  • the two resiliently deflectable latching arms 7 are for latching attachment the locking part 6 provided on the insulating housing 1, and extend therefore parallel to the direction of insertion of the connector part.
  • the two Locking arms 7 are largely integral components of the locking part 6.
  • several locking pins 8 are attached to one of the two Longitudinal walls of the locking part 6 are formed.
  • the one for locking the Plug contact elements 3 provided locking pins 8 therefore extend transversely to the direction of insertion and protrude into the frame opening of the locking part 6 inside.
  • the Bolt part 6 In order to get into its unlocking position shown in FIG. 2, the Bolt part 6 from the mating side, parallel to the mating direction - so similar to a Mating connector part - on the plug area 4 of the insulating housing 1 postponed. When sliding on, the two locking arms 7 come to the two Narrow walls 9 and the locking pins 8 on the associated longitudinal wall 10 of the Mating area 4 to the system. To reach its unlocked position, the locking part 6 so far on the plug-in area 4 of the insulating housing 1 pushed until the two locking arms 7 each in a locking groove 11 engage locking element of the plug-in area 4.
  • the two locking grooves 11 extend transversely to the direction of insertion, so that on the one hand a secure mounting and on the other hand the possibility of one - to reach the locking position necessary - transverse movement of the locking part 6 is guaranteed.
  • the Bolt part 6 to the plastic housing 1 made of plastic allow are in the mating area 4 two outgoing from the mating side, with Insertion grooves 12 provided with run-up ramps are formed.
  • the insertion grooves 12 are when pushed on to guide the two spring-elastic deflectable locking arms 7 intended.
  • the locking pin 8 refers to the locking part 6 a misaligned position on the plug-in side of the insulating material housing 1.
  • the plug contact elements 3 can be from the back facing away from the plug side 13 are inserted into the chambers 2 of the insulating housing 1. Because the Locking pin 8 in the unlocked position of the locking part 6 not in the chambers 2 engage, a free insertion of the plug contact elements 3 is possible. Are located the plug contact elements 3 are fully inserted in their associated chambers 2, engage the plug-in contact elements 3, resiliently deflectable Holding arms 14 behind appropriately trained, on the chamber walls existing retention approaches. The plug contact elements 3 are thereby secured in position kept in their chambers 2.
  • a sealing element 5 is located on the Mating area 4 of the insulating housing 1, a sealing element 5.
  • the sealing element 5 also from the mating side to the mating area 4 of the insulating housing 1 postponed.
  • This also essentially the shape of an oval frame having, consisting of an elastically deformable plastic Sealing element 5 is between the edge surface 15 of the plug side facing away Bolt part 6 and a support bead 16 molded onto the insulating material housing 1 kept stationary. With its one ring surface facing the plug side comes the sealing element 5 so on the edge surface 15 and with its other the Back 13 facing ring surface on the support bead 16 to the system.
  • a secure and positionally accurate mounting of the sealing element 5 is thus also after a variety of plugging or disconnecting operations between the connector part and a mating connector part guaranteed.
  • the support bead 16 provides at the same time the base of a collar-shaped extension 17 of the insulating material housing 1. This surrounds at a distance with its parallel to the direction of insertion Walls the plug-in area 4 of the insulating material housing 1 and the locking part 6. This arrangement makes the mating area of the mating connector part sealed against the ingress of moisture from the plug-in area 4 of the Plug contact part added.
  • the plug side of the insulating housing 1, the End face of the collar-shaped extension 17 and the end face of the locking part 6 form the mating face of the connector part, the locking part 6 a represents a large proportion of the mating face.
  • the locking part 6 Only now when the locking part 6, caused by a conscious performed displacement movement transverse to the direction of insertion, in its Locking position is located, the connector part with its Mating connector part to be coupled. Because only in the Locking position is a match of the alignment of the bolt part 6 based on the mating side of the mating area 4. So only one connection between plug connection parts and mating plug connection parts is possible, which are actually provided for a connection, the locking part 6 a plurality of coding elements 20.
  • the coding elements 20 are as recesses formed and molded into the outer walls of the locking part 6. Therefore can the connector part only with a mating connector part in Be connected which with appropriately trained and placed coding elements in the form of webs is provided.
