Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector for a number of plug contacts in a compact design, consisting of a plug and a device side Power strip with a plug-in collar for receiving the Plug, in which the connector housing for receiving Plug contact housings are designed, each several Take in plug contact elements and in the connector housing can be locked,
  • Connectors of this type are, for example, by the reference DE 4330626 C2 known.
  • This as an outer casing designated connector housing has a designated as insertion channel Receiving shaft for two designated as contact carriers Different width plug contact housings.
  • the insertion channel is open on the front of the outer case.
  • Special Measures to lock the contact carriers in the insertion channel provided on its back which is a relatively complex Tool concept required.
  • Special assignment safeguards in Form of coding measures between the insertion channel and the contact carriers to be accommodated therein are not necessary here, since there is only one insertion channel.
  • the two to be addressed as a contact carrier package wide contact carriers can also take into account the So-called secondary fuse usually provided for the socket contacts housed in the contact carriers are not inserted at all into the insertion channel, if they are not arranged correctly next to each other.
  • Such electrical connectors also include connector housings conceivable, in which each plug contact housing a receiving shaft assigned. Here it may be necessary to secure the mapping also between the plug contact housings and to provide the receiving shafts of the connector housing. At compact design, it is not possible in this case from coding bars or coding grooves running in the direction of insertion on the outer sides of the side walls of the plug contact housing or the inside of the side walls of the receiving shafts To make use of.
  • the invention has for its object a new compact Design for an electrical connector with a two and more slots for plug-in contact housings Specify the connector housing with an inexpensive tool concept also a coding between the receiving shafts and makes the plug contact housings possible.
  • the connector housing having several identical dimensions Has receiving shafts which are arranged side by side and receiving openings on the front of the connector housing have that the plug contact housing in its width and depth to the dimensions of the receiving shafts of the connector housing are adapted for coding between the receiving shafts of the connector housing and the plug contact housings on the one hand, the rear wall of the connector housing in the area of each Receiving shaft and on the other hand the rear wall of each plug contact housing Coding elements in the form of depressions and Has increases when inserting the plug contact housing in the receiving shafts of the connector housing in pairs interlock and that the depth and / or height dimensions of the interlocking coding elements is chosen so that the latching of a plug contact housing in a receiving slot of the connector housing is only possible if the encoding of the receiving slot with the coding of the plug contact housing to be included here matches.
  • the connector housing 2 has two of the same Receiving shafts 3 for two identical plug contact housings 4 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the receiving shafts 3 have their receiving openings 5 on the front side 6 of the connector housing 2.
  • Between the receiving shafts 3 there is a narrow wall receiving slot 7, which is in the lower and middle area of the Plug housing 2 has an opening 8 on its front 6 and an opening 9 in its rear wall 10.
  • the wall-receiving shaft 7 has a continuous opening 11 in the bottom 12 of the connector housing 2.
  • the bottom 12 of the connector housing 2 has in the area of the receiving shafts 3 plug openings 13 for not in the drawing Plug contacts shown, which are in working condition of the plug 1 in the vertical receiving channels 14 of the Plug contact housing 4 are used. If the plug contact housing 4 until it snaps into place to be described is inserted into the receiving shafts 3 of the connector housing 2 are aligned in the receiving channels 14 of the Plug contact housing 4 plug contacts used, preferably Socket contacts, with the plug openings 13 in the bottom 12 the connector housing 2.
  • Plug contact housing 4 in the functional state of the plug 1 inserted plug contacts have the plug contact housing 4 in the central area on the outer sides 15 of their a horizontal groove-like recess 17 on both side walls 16 on, which in its extension only through the front wall 18 the plug contact housing 4 is limited and in depth extend into the receiving channels 14 of the plug contact housing 4.
  • these groove-like recesses 17 reach Push the plug contact housing 4 into the receiving shafts 3 safety strips 19 running in the insertion direction with hook-shaped cross-section, which in the middle area the inner sides 20 of the side walls 21 of the receiving shafts 3 are molded.
  • locking teeth 24 are formed in the upper and lower region.
  • the locking teeth 24 are in the upper and lower areas 3 counter-locking openings in the side walls 21 of the receiving shafts 25 assigned, in which the plug contact housing 4 in snap into the receiving slots 3 when inserted.
  • the locking teeth 24 engage behind the front edge 26 of the Counter-locking openings 25.
  • the correct assignment guaranteed by coding the plug contact housing 4 to the receiving shafts 3 of the Plug housing 2 is provided on its rear wall 10.
  • the rear wall 10 of the connector housing 2 in the central region its receiving shafts 3 vertically one above the other two identical coding elements 27 in the form of horizontal ones Longitudinal holes 28 of rectangular shape.
  • corresponding Ways are on the outer sides 29 of the rear walls 30 of the Plug contact housing 4, see Fig. 2, vertically in the central area one above the other two of the same, to the coding elements 27 complementary coding elements 31 in the form of horizontally aligned short longitudinal webs 32 formed.
  • the end faces 33 of the longitudinal webs 32 are folded.
  • the plug contact housing 4 At the Push the plug contact housing 4 into the receiving shafts 3 of the connector housing 2 engage the coding elements 27 and 31 only interlocking if they are in relation to each other their position coincide with each other.
  • the high of Longitudinal webs 32 are defined so that the plug contact housing 4 not in the Allow slots 3 to snap into place.
  • the connector housing 2 At its top is the connector housing 2 with a cover 34 provided in the area of the receiving shafts 3 for Front 6 of the connector housing 2 open rounded recesses 35 has. These recesses 35 are for the cable connections of the plug contacts in the receiving channels 14 of the Plug contact housing 4 provided.
  • the receiving shafts 3 of the connector housing 2 are higher than the plug contact housing 4, so that with plug-in contact housings pushed into the receiving shafts 3 4, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 3, in the upper region the receiving shafts 3 each one to the front 6 of the connector housing 2 open cable connection space 36 available is.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawing for the Plug 1 of an electrical connector is for his Plug connection in a device-side connector strip for designed and locked into the connector strip
  • an assignment lock for the plug connection in the form of a coding.
  • a detent spring 37 on the side of the rear wall 10 at the bottom 12 of the connector housing 2 is formed and parallel to the rear wall 10 extends to the upper edge of the connector housing 2.
  • the cover 34 has one over the rear wall 10 of the plug housing 2 extending collar 38 on, in which the detent spring 37 protrudes with its free end.
