Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector for motor vehicles at least a first and a second, each with contact elements provided connector part and an actuator that between a starting position and an end position is adjustable and their Adjustment movement a relative movement of the first and the second connector part caused to plug the first and the second connector part together and electrical connections between the contact elements by moving the actuator into the end position.
- Such connectors are generally known and are used in motor vehicles used for example in connection with ABS systems.
- the two connector parts moved relative to each other by the actuator until they are in the correct relative position. Proper functioning of the electrical devices of the Motor vehicle is only ensured if after adjusting the Actuator, the two connector parts in the correct relative position located and remain in this.
- An electrical connector according to the invention for motor vehicles has at least a first and a second, each with Connector elements provided on contact elements. There is also an actuator provided between an initial position and an end position is adjustable and its adjustment movement is a relative movement of the first and second connector parts. This is so trained that by moving the actuator into the end position the first and the second connector part put together and electrical connections between the contact elements become. This means that even with comparatively long connector parts or connector parts with many contact elements a simple and safe Attaches with little effort.
- a locking device for locking the actuating device provided in the end position, by means of which by locking accidental loosening of the actuator in the end position the connector parts from each other by moving the actuator can be prevented from the end position.
- an electromechanical test device is provided. This has a first test contact element on the first connector part, a chamber in the second connector part and a test element with a second test contact element.
- the chamber is designed in this way and the test element at least in the end position of the actuating device so movably mounted in the chamber that the test element when locking the actuator in the end position by making an electrical connection between the first and the second test contact element provides a signal path that is not at locked end position reached is interrupted.
- the signal path and thus reaching the locked end position of the actuator can be easily connected to the test contact elements electronic circuit to be checked. This makes it possible at any time, not only during assembly, but also after maintenance work or during normal operation to check whether the actuating device is in the locked end position, and thus a undetected, accidental loosening of the two connector parts or the contact elements to prevent in it.
- a seal is provided which is designed so that when reached locked end position, the first and the second test contact element in their contact area towards the chamber from the direction of the second Foreign matter penetrating the connector part, in particular moisture, sealed are.
- the seal can be put together State between the chamber and the test element. This will affect the electrical contact between the two test contact elements due to moisture or e.g. oil films avoided, even if the connector according to the invention on a Location in the motor vehicle that is not protected against such influences is.
- the connector according to the invention is characterized thereby from that, on the one hand, it is a simple but secure connection allowed, and on the other hand also under unfavorable environmental influences reliable verification of the correct locking of the actuator of the electrical connector.
- the test element is preferred by moving a locking element the locking device is movable when the actuator is in the end position. Through direct transmission the movement of the locking element on the test element is reliable Locking test possible.
- the seal can already be in the chamber before inserting the test element sit and if necessary in this e.g. by friction or equivalent Projections should be kept. Although it is still possible to seal to use only when connecting the two connector parts, it is preferred that the seal is held on the test element, which in turn can happen by friction or corresponding projections. hereby on the one hand, the seal cannot be easily lost. To the other is the attachment of the seal to the test element because of the better accessibility much easier than in the chamber.
- an elastically deformable actuating device when locked biased and coupled to the test element Element provided, which is designed so that when releasing the locking device the test element with the second test contact element interrupting the signal path from the first test contact element is moved away. This ensures that even with a certain Friction between the test contact elements of the signal path interrupted when the locking device is unlocked.
- a corresponding spring can be provided, which between the Bottom of the test element or corresponding protrusions on the test element on the one hand and protrusions on the walls of the chamber, the Bottom of the chamber or on the first connector part on the other hand is clamped in the locked end position of the actuating device.

The pressure piece is still for actuation by the locking device educated.
- the line on the connection element which e.g. between Sleeve and pressure piece are led out of the test element can, serves to connect the second test contact element to a corresponding one Connect circuit.
- Such a test element is particularly simple producible, since the individual components are very easy to manufacture and just have to be put together, especially then when the pressure piece by a snap connection with the sleeve is connectable.
- the connecting element is particularly preferred in this area its end facing away from the second test contact element at least one seal to seal the space between Provide connection element and inner wall of the sleeve. This allows one particularly simple sealing of the test element against foreign substances, in particular Moisture that is not at the line entry into the test element enter the sleeve and up to the second test contact element can reach.
- the locking element When the test element is moved by a locking element of the locking device the locking element is preferably in a Direction essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the test element can be moved from an unlocked to a locked position, when the actuator is in the end position. hereby a very simple and secure locking can be achieved, since the test element in the longitudinal direction of the chamber and thus preferably in Plug direction is moved and a lock so transverse to the plug direction can be done.
- the test element particularly preferably points at its Locking element cooperating end one to the direction of insertion inclined surface, the locking device being designed that with a locking serving a range of Locking element attacks the surface and this in the direction of insertion emotional. This makes it particularly simple and reliable Coupling the movement of the locking element and the test element reached.
- a locking element of the locking device is preferably on held the actuator, since it is a particularly simple and safe construction results, which is also particularly easy to is operate.
- a housing part provided with an opening is preferably provided, which is designed so that when the actuator is moved in the end position a locking element of the locking device is inserted into the opening and by moving it can be locked.
- Appropriate protrusions can be used when moving of the locking element behind the edges of the opening and thus the part of the actuator with the locking element hold the housing part. This makes locking particularly secure reached the actuator in its end position.
- this can preferably be done a connector part as in particular in the form of a flat contact housing provided plug-in part and the other connector part than in particular in Form of a device holder intended receiving part for the plug-in part be trained.
- the plug is by means of the actuator at least partially movable towards the receiving part.
