Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular connector.
  • the connector has at least one plug-in module has that can be plugged into a housing module and in the housing module can be locked, the plug-in module and the housing module in each case are designed to accommodate contact elements, and wherein Plug module on at least one outside of a locking arrangement has, arranged in the plug-in module and / or in the housing module Contact elements are lockable.
  • the locking arrangement is arranged such that not by inserting the plug-in module contact elements of the housing module that are completely in a desired position can be pushed into the desired position.
  • At least a portion of the locking arrangement on at least one arranged pivotable flap of the plug-in module can be used for contact elements of the plug-in module.
  • the two sections protrude from the flap in opposite directions. So can, for example, an outwardly projecting section for locking are used by contact elements arranged in the housing module, while with the flap swung up into the plug-in module insertable contact elements with the flap pivoted downwards a section protruding into the plug-in module can be locked.
  • this is Provide housing module with coding sections on which at least one Part of the locking arrangement of a suitable plug-in module when inserted can be moved past and inserting a wrong plug-in module prevent.
  • the locking arrangement thus serves at the same time as coding for the plug-in module, which makes it simple unwanted combinations of plug-in modules and housing modules can be prevented safely.
  • the invention also relates to a plug-in system in pairs Connector plug-in housing modules according to the invention and plug-in modules, each housing module with coding sections is provided, on which at least part of the locking arrangement of a matching plug-in module can be moved past when plugged in and the prevent the wrong plug-in module from being inserted.
  • the plug-in module 10 of the invention shown in FIGS. 1-3 Connector has a flat cuboid housing, in which two rows one above the other a multitude of recording rooms are provided for contact elements, not shown.
  • Fig. 1 shows the Contact side 11 of the plug-in module 10, in which contact openings 19 are formed are about the electrical and mechanical connections to the contact elements arranged in the plug-in module 10 are produced can.
  • the one-piece and made of plastic plug-in module 10 is on opposite Pages each provided with a flap 20 which in the pivoted down, closed state one from the rear end of the plug-in module 10 forms part of the respective side wall.
  • a film hinge 28 is provided as a joint for the flaps 20.
  • Each flap 20 is provided with a locking arrangement in the area of the film hinge 28 outwardly projecting locking elements 12 or 14, locking elements protruding from their inside 24 and at their free end inwardly projecting locking elements 22 includes.
  • the outwardly projecting locking elements 12, 14 are each at a distance from each other on a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plug-in module 10 straight lines arranged.
  • the locking elements 12, 14 of the two flaps 20 differ from one another. While in the one flap 20 each locking element 14 has its own Has base, are the locking elements in the opposite flap 20 12 each arranged in pairs on a common base. The locking elements are on their side facing away from the contact side 11 12, 14 each bevelled.
  • the locking elements 12, 14 thus each form a comb trained locking bar, in which the locking elements 12, 14th protrude vertically from the outside of the respective flap 20.
  • the locking elements with slot-like openings 22 at the free ends of the flaps 20 serve to lock the flaps 20 in the closed position on the plug-in module 10.
  • 2 shows, through the locking elements 22 some of the access openings 18 to the receiving spaces for the contact elements partially blocked.
  • the plug-in module 10 is thus on opposite sides Outside each with a pivotable locking arrangement in the form of a flap 20 carrying various locking elements Mistake.
  • the seven receiving spaces for contact elements, in Fig. 1-3 upper half of the plug-in module 10 is wider than the six receiving spaces comprehensive lower half.
  • lateral cutouts 16 provided for locking the plug-in module 10 in one in the following serve housing module described in more detail.
  • the cylindrical housing module 30 according to FIG. 4 has a cross section of the plug-in module 10 complementary receiving space for that Plug-in module 10.
  • Fig. 4 shows a contact side 31 of the one-piece and made of plastic housing module 30 in which on one side of the Recording space two contact openings 36 and on the opposite Page four contact openings 38 are formed via the in the housing module 30 arranged contact elements, not shown, contacted can be.
  • the contact openings 36, 38 on both sides of the receiving space for the plug-in module 10 differ from one another and are different trained contact elements adapted.
  • each a locking arm 34 is provided for locking the plug-in module 10 is used in the inserted state. This is shown in FIG. 5 out that the connector of the invention in the composite Condition, i.e. with the plug-in module inserted into the housing module 30 10 shows.
  • the contact side of the connector is made up of the contact side 11 of the plug-in module 10 and the contact side 31 of the housing module 30 formed.
  • the plug-in module 10 is inserted due to its asymmetrical Cross section and the appropriately trained receiving space in the housing module 30 only in one orientation relative to Housing module 30 possible.
  • the view on the back of the assembled connector 6 shows the latching of those formed on the flaps 20 Locking elements 22 by means of locking sections 23 on the back of the plug-in module 10. It can also be seen that through each locking element 22 two adjacent access openings 18 to the receiving spaces of the plug-in module 10 are partially blocked.
  • the access openings in the housing module 30 for those not shown Contact elements are through sections 32 on one side and sections 33 on the other side of the receiving space for the plug-in module 10 limited. These sections 32, 33 are dependent on the Locking arrangement of a suitable plug-in module 10 implemented in such a way that the locking elements protruding from the outer sides of the flaps 20 12 or 14 when plugging in the plug-in module 10 to the Sections 32 and 33 can be moved past. Also be the locking elements 12 and 14 when inserting the plug-in module 10 through these sections 32, 33 in the housing module 30.
  • the sections 32, 33 of the housing module 30 thus serve on the one hand as Coding sections, which ensure that only plug-in modules 10 with suitable Locking elements 12 and 14 can be inserted, and on the other hand as a guide for a defined insertion of the plug-in module 10th
  • the housing module can therefore 30 are regarded as a lock and the plug-in module 10 as a key, by the different design of the locking elements 12, 14 can be individualized.
  • FIG. 7 shows the mode of operation of the locking elements 12, 14, 22, 24 of the plug-in module 10.
  • FIG. 6 the one shown in FIG Embodiment, the back of the plug-in module 10 deeper inside of the housing module 30.
  • the contact elements 40 are already before the plug-in module 10 is inserted by suitable means of the housing module 30, which are basically arbitrary can be executed, locked in their target position.
  • the locking elements protruding from the inside of the flaps 20 24 each protrude into a receiving space 50 for a not shown Contact element of the plug-in module 10 and are designed so that the relevant contact element in the plug-in module 10 locks becomes.
  • the contact elements are already basically executable Means of the plug-in module 10 are first locked in this, then after the flaps 20 are closed by the locking elements 24 also causes a second locking.
  • the plug-in module 10 is in the direction of insertion S inserted into the housing module 30 until it cooperates the locking arms 34 of the housing module 30 and the Plug-in module 10 formed recesses 16 (see. Fig. 5) in its end position locks.
  • the locking elements 12, 14, 22, 24 are both the contact elements 40 of the housing module 30 and the contact elements of the Plug-in module 10 second locked or secured in its target position.
  • the invention thus becomes an easy-to-use plug-in system created of high reliability, in which coding sections 32, 33 of Housing module 30 ensure that only matching plug-in modules 10 in a relevant housing module 30 can be inserted, and also it is ensured that in the assembled state of the Connector all contact elements 40 are in their target position and are secured against being pulled out.
