Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug with a holding element for connecting to a socket.
  • the connection should be made with a socket, which is a socket housing with a first longitudinal axis and with one enclosed by a wall Has receiving space that to an end face of the socket housing open and closed at the far end by a floor.
  • the socket housing is assigned first contacts that are in the receiving space protrude from the floor parallel to the first longitudinal axis.
  • On the outer surface of the the wall enclosing the recording space is arranged in a projecting manner. This points towards the floor in the direction away from the end face from the outer surface rising ascending contact surface to which in In the direction of the floor there is a locking surface to be run on the outer surface.
  • EP 0 896 396 A2 describes a connector that has a socket and includes a connector.
  • the socket has a socket housing and a recording room enclosed by a wall. This is an end face of the socket housing open and at its distal end through closed a floor.
  • the socket has a first longitudinal axis that defines a connection direction.
  • the socket housing are the first contacts assigned. These are aligned parallel to the first longitudinal axis and are from Floor in front of the recording room.
  • On the outer surface of the one enclosing the recording room Wall is a protruding tab.
  • the plug is a assigned elastically deflectable locking arm, which locks via a slide can be when he is in the latch position and there is a deflection the locking arm prevented from the relaxed position.
  • the slide are compression springs assigned to each other at their end not supported on the slide are connected via a traverse.
  • the locking arm has an inclined surface that runs against the latch when inserting the plug into the socket. there the slide is in a position in which its locking surface is not in contact to the latch arm. For this purpose, the locking arm is in a temporary position via holding means Position held. If the plug is inserted into the socket, it arrives not only the locking arm with its hook-like projection against the latch, but also the traverse that connects the two compression springs to each other, comes to rest against the end face of the socket. The plug continues introduced, the springs are biased. The hook-shaped locking element of the locking arm slides over the latch. The locking arm has one position reached, in which its locking surface can reach behind the latch.
  • the slide is first moved towards the socket so far that the locking arm is released.
  • the compression springs are partially preloaded and the holding means fix the slide in this position. In this position can be acted on an unlocking section of the slide, i.e. be pressed on this, this section on an underlying Projection of the locking arm acts. Because the latch arm is suspended like a seesaw is, the hook-like projection is out of engagement with the locking lug on the socket emotional. If the plug is now pulled, it can be removed from the socket be separated. Handling is cumbersome and requires in particular then, if safe operation is required, additional measures in the form of Ribs on the socket to provide secure support for the compression springs Activate the slide to reach.
  • Handling is also disadvantageous insofar as than when loosening the connector, i.e. the plug from the socket of the
  • the slide must first be moved in the opposite direction to the setting slide to be transferred to a position in which the actuating section associated therewith a force on the latch arm in the sense of releasing it from the Locking nose of the socket is possible.
  • the plug must be pulled to release it from the socket.
  • DE 198 28 968 A1 relates to a connector with a socket and a Plug, the socket being assigned a leaf spring-like holding element, which also serves as a short-circuit bridge for the contacts of the socket.
  • the Holding element has two locking legs, each with a projection of the plug come into contact and experience a deformation when connecting, so that the Projections can drive over a kink in the locking leg and then one Allow it to rebound again so that the plug is secured in the socket.
  • two are in the unconnected state of the plug and socket there are contact legs that come into contact with the contacts of the socket, which are part of the holding element, which is made of metal and so that it is electrically conductive. So in the disconnected state is between the contacts A short-circuit contact is made via the contact legs. These are at Pushing the plug out of contact with the contacts of the socket.
  • DE 100 52 970 A1 is a connector that has a socket and a Includes connector, described, wherein the connector is assigned a slide that is designed in one piece with a compression spring and initially biased when connecting and a push-out force is generated as long as the final connection state has not been reached.
  • This slide also serves as a holding element in the connected state.
  • the resilient section designed as a compression spring comprises one serpentine curved leaf spring-like section.
  • EP 1 089 393 A1 comprises a plug socket with a socket enclosed by a wall Recording space into which a plug can be inserted.
  • the connector on the Receiving space of the socket entering section a seal that with the Inner surface of the receiving space comes into contact.
  • the section of the connector that is in the receptacle of the socket is opposite to that recessed area of the plug tapered in cross section.
  • the invention has for its object a connector for a conventional socket, i.e. to propose one in which only one latch is provided, the is easy to use and as long as no final connection has been achieved, one Force that releases the plug from the socket.
  • the advantage of this version is that the connector in connection with usual Sockets can be used, which have only one latch, so that without changing the same it is ensured that the plug from the socket is separated as long as no final locking position has been reached. Furthermore, handling is simplified in that only when connecting the plug housing is acted on by this relative to the socket housing, d. H. is moving towards the bottom. The release of the slide to the final The locking arm is secured automatically depending on the position of the Plug housing to the socket housing by the leaf spring-like holding element reaches the end face of the socket housing except for active engagement and thus the force of the effective between the connector housing and the slide Compression springs is released. The slide is relative to the socket housing and moved to the connector housing so that the locking arm against displacement in the unlocked position is secured.
  • the Holding element a separate, i.e. component separated from the slide, which consists of a Material is produced that is subject to practically no wear or subsidence is.
  • the spring legs on the connecting portion connect with a turn so that each spring leg connects the connecting section crossing.
  • the spring legs extend from the connecting section in such a way that the fastening sections are offset parallel to each other.
  • the holding element from a round wire. Conveniently, it is made of stainless steel manufactured.
  • the socket Since the holding element made of steel in the finally locked state of the connector the socket is deflected elastically from its normal position, i.e. as long as the Socket and the plug are connected to one another, it is tensioned, it is favorable if it's made of stainless steel.

Stand from the floor 8 first contacts 7 in the form of pins. They are parallel to the first Longitudinal axis 3 aligned. On an outer surface 9 of the wall 4 there is a latch 10 arranged which has an inclined contact surface 11 in the direction of the end face 6, the end facing the end face 6 towards the bottom 8 moving away from the outer surface 9, i.e. increasing, running. This closes a locking surface 12, which runs in the direction of the outer surface 9, i.e. prefers runs perpendicular to this or possibly even has an undercut.
