Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fastening and contacting a connector contact insert with at least one sheet metal flange in an electrically conductive connector housing that consists of two connectable, rectangular half-shells is formed.
  • Such a device is required to make an electrically conductive Flange, in which a connector contact insert is held, without tools to fix in a connector housing and an electrically conductive To ensure connection between the flange and the housing and to meet the VDE security guidelines.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a device of the beginning mentioned type in such a way that in one out of two Half-shell manufactured and interconnectable connector housings a connector contact insert held in a sheet metal flange can be fixed in the connector housing without further fastening means.
  • Connectors generally consist of a connector housing on which one or more cable bushings are provided and at least one connector contact insert which is fastened in the housing.
  • the connector contact insert can be held within the housing using different fastening methods.
  • One method is to attach angled sheet metal flanges to the narrow sides of a connector contact insert made of insulating material, on the corners of which four captive screws are provided, with which the connector contact insert is screwed into the molded housing in the connector housing.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention are that such known connector contact inserts can be fixed in the connector housing without the use of a tool.
  • the device according to the invention is initially formed from simple formations which protrude from the wall of a connector housing formed from two housing halves and from different sheet metal parts shaped as spring elements. Two formations spaced apart from one another each form a receiving slot, a pair of formations being provided in each corner region of the connector housing.
  • Spring elements are fixed to or between these formations, which are partially locked as differently shaped sheet metal parts and partially firmly connected to the housing.
  • the holding elements have at least one spring element, with which the sheet metal flanges, which are inserted into the receiving slots, are advantageously pressed against one of the projections and are securely fixed when the half shells are joined and at the same time ensure electrical contact between the sheet metal flange and the housing. It is also advantageous that sheet metal flanges with two defined but different sheet thicknesses can be inserted and fixed in the receiving slots. In one variant, only a certain thickness of a sheet metal flange can be accommodated by the fastening device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a connector housing 1, which is formed in the fully assembled state from two half-shells and in which the front of the half-shells is removed here.
  • a connector contact insert 6 is shown, which is held in the connector housing by means of angled sheet metal flanges 7 and the device to be described here.
  • FIG. 2 only the half-shell 2 of the connector housing, which has three cable feeds 3, is shown in a perspective view.
  • a device for fastening the connector contact insert can be seen in the inner corner region 4 visible here.
  • the device is formed from two projections 10, 14 which protrude from the housing wall of the half-shell and a spring element which can have different shapes.
  • Such a spring element is shown on an enlarged scale in FIG. 3 and essentially consists of a frame-shaped sheet metal part 20 which is angled by approximately 90 ° and from which two spring arms 24, 26, which are exposed on three sides and are formed in the corner region, the spring ends 28 of which are formed are arched.
  • two projections 10, 14 are provided, onto which the sheet metal part 20 can be pushed, so that the projections dip into the recesses 23 between the frame and the spring arms and ultimately protrude therefrom.
  • a latching mechanism 22 (not described further here) holds the sheet metal part 20 firmly on the housing shell 2. Due to the spacing of the projections 10, 14, a slot 18 is formed, into which the sheet metal flange 7 of the connector contact insert can be inserted.
  • the width of the slot 18 is provided in cooperation with the spring arms 24, 26 to accommodate two different sheet thicknesses.
  • the spring arms are slightly offset, positioned at different heights in the frame of the sheet metal part, so that the spring arm 24 shown here on the left is arranged in the upper area and the right spring arm 26 in the lower area of the frame-shaped sheet metal part 20. If a sheet metal flange with a maximum thickness is inserted into the slot 18, the arched spring ends 28 of the two spring elements are pressed against the sheet metal flange outer edges.
  • the upper projection 10 is provided with an indentation 12, into which such a screw is only inserted when the sheet metal flange is inserted into the receiving slot 18 protrudes.
  • the lower molding 14 here is smaller and, compared to the upper molding, is formed with a rounded projection 16.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant of the spring element shown in FIG. 3, in which a sheet metal part 30, which is also bent over a corner, is provided, in which the spring arms 34, 36 are arranged on the outer edges of the two sheet metal legs, in this way that they are, as shown in the figure, vertically released from the sheet material.
  • the spring ends 38 are slightly curved, acting in the interior of the half-shell.
  • the sheet metal part 30 is also on slightly modified projections 10 ', 14 'pushed onto the housing wall of the half-shell and fixed there.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further variant of a spring element which, as an angular sheet metal part 40, has a fastening section 42 and an angled spring arm 44 with a curved spring end 48.
  • the sheet metal part is instead of the partially shortened lower molding 14 attached below the molding 10 on the housing wall of the half-shell, so that the curved spring end 48 is directed against the molding 10 and presses it against the molding with an intermediate sheet metal flange.
  • this variant only allows the insertion of a sheet metal flange with a specified thickness.
  • FIG. 6 shows a spring element designed as a flat sheet metal part 50, which has a fastening section 52 and a spring arm 54 with a curved spring end 58.
  • the sheet metal part 50 is positioned with its free spring arm in the receiving slot 18 between the two projections 10, 14, so that the spring action is directed onto the flange outer edge of a sheet metal flange inserted in the receiving slot.
  • the sheet metal part 50 is fastened to the housing wall on the fastening section 52.
  • this variant only allows the insertion of a sheet metal flange with a specified thickness.
  • FIG. 7 also shows a spring element shaped as a flat sheet metal part 60.
  • a relatively soft insertion of a sheet metal flange is possible due to the long spring travel of the spring arms 64, 66 adjoining the fastening section 62 with the curved spring ends 68.
  • the sheet metal part 60 is inserted into a recess 5 in the housing wall and fixed by means of a rivet attachment, so that the curvature of the spring ends 68 points into the interior.
  • This double arrangement of the spring arms in turn allows the use of two different sheet thicknesses of a sheet metal flange in the receiving slot 18, as already described in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 8 shows a view of the corner region 4 of the half-shell 2 from FIG. 7, a fastening device with an assembled sheet metal flange 7 in order to explain the functioning of the device.
  • a thin sheet metal flange 7 with a fastening screw 8 is inserted into the receiving slot 18 between the two projections 10, 14.
  • the sheet metal flange touches the lower edge of the upper molding 10, a distance from the lower molding 14 remaining. This distance is caused by the lower spring arm 66, which is positioned below the sheet metal flange, while the upper spring arm 64 is pressed into the recess 5 by the sheet metal flange edge.
  • a tool-free assembly and fixing of the sheet metal flange in the connector housing takes place with simultaneous electrical contacting. If a sheet metal flange with a sheet thickness filling the receiving slot 18 is used, both spring arms 64, 66 are pressed into the recess 5 and both spring arms press with the curved spring ends 68 against the sheet metal flange edge.
