Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing for an electrical connector, that with the housing of a complementary electrical connector, Adapters or the like can be latched, with one in Steckoder Axially extending groove into which a housing portion of the complementary connector or adapter is inserted, and with a latching arm for latching with the inserted housing section is provided with a latch. It also relates to an electrical Connector with such a housing.
  • Electrical connectors are usually each with a complementary one Connectable connectors and serve the electrical and optionally also mechanical connection of electrical equipment such as. Cables and / or electrical appliances. They will in particular also used in motor vehicles.
  • Connector housing of the type mentioned are well known.
  • a housing is in particular with a Housing of a complementary electrical connector locked.
  • This is in an outer housing wall in a plug or axial direction extending groove provided in which a latching arm is arranged.
  • Locking arm is provided with a latching nose and resilient at one end pivoted.
  • such a housing is on the opposite side Outer wall also with a complementary locking means provided, which is for example a locking shoulder or a Rastö réelle can act.
  • a complementary locking means for the preparation of the compound in question between two housings is a complementary locking means in the sliding fit received in the groove, and the detent latched with the detent opening or shoulder. After the locking connection of the locking arm takes at least essentially his normal position again, in which he none is exposed to mechanical stress.
  • this mounting plate can be provided with an opening into which the latching lug of the latching arm snaps. If the mounting plate is inserted into the groove, So she even exerts a force on the catch even if already a catch has occurred. This leaves the latching arm after latching the mounting plate clamped.
  • the invention is based on the object, an improved housing as well to provide an improved connector of the type mentioned, where the aforementioned problem is eliminated.
  • the axial groove for receiving both the housing portion of the complementary connector or adapter as well as a mounting plate recessed and the Latch arm between a the housing portion of the complementary Connector or adapter receiving outer groove portion and arranged a mounting plate receiving inner groove portion is, wherein the latching arm for latching with the in the outer groove portion accommodated housing portion of the complementary connector or adapters with a lying in the outer groove portion outer Latch and latched with the recorded in the inner groove portion Mounting plate with a lying in the inner groove portion is provided inside latch.
  • the latching arm takes a latching with the mounting plate at least substantially back to its normal position one in which he is tension-free. Overall, this results in a more flexible Fixing the connectors even in non-accessible areas. After plugging in, no further steps are required. After this for latching with the housing of a respective complementary one electrical connector or adapter and for locking the mounting plate a common locking arm is provided, also results a material and cost saving. Finally, it will be a simple one Handling achieved. An attachment of the connectors on the mounting plate or a plastic, for example, counterpart is possible with the same locking arm.
  • the latching arm is viewed in the depth direction of the groove at least essentially arranged centrally.
  • the two groove sections can So have an at least substantially the same depth.
  • the two groove sections may have a different width or at least substantially the same width.
  • Housing is the outer groove portion as a standard recording for a respective housing section different complementary Connector or adapter executed.
  • the axial groove is preferably provided in an outer housing wall or trained.
  • the latching arm can be mounted at one end resiliently pivotable and / or be at least partially flexible or consist of flexible material.
  • the housing On its side facing away from the locking arm, the housing is expediently provided with a complementary locking means.
  • this complementary latching means may be, for example, a latching shoulder or opening act. This can then in particular with a Latch of a latching arm of a complementary connector or Interacting adapters.
  • the mounting plate may be, for example, a sheet metal tab or the like.
  • the housing can be used as a housing of a male part or as a housing Receiving part of the relevant connector system be executed.
  • the electrical connector according to the invention is characterized from that it is provided with a housing according to the invention.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a schematic representation of an electrical Connector 10 of an electrical connector system. at the reproduced electrical connector 10 is in the present case, for example, a plug-in part of the connector system.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 comprises the electrical Connector 10, a housing 12, which is connected to the housing of a complementary electrical connector, adapters or the like latched is.
  • the housing 12 is extending in a plug-in or axial direction S.
  • Groove 14 provided in the detail below Way in an outer groove portion 14 'and an inner groove portion 14 "is divided (see in particular Figure 3) outer, upper groove portion 14 'of the groove 14 a housing portion of a complementary connector or adapter insertable.
  • the housing 12 also includes a latching arm 16 which is for latching with the inserted housing portion of the complementary connector or adapters with an outer, upper detent 18 provided is.
  • the axial groove 14 is for receiving both the housing portion of the complementary connector or adapter as well as a mounting plate 20 or the like (see Figures 1 and 2) deepened.
  • the locking arm 16 is between the housing portion of the complementary connector or Adapter receiving outer groove portion 14 'and the mounting plate 20 receiving inner groove portion 14 "arranged.
  • the in the outer groove portion 14 'lying outer locking lug 18 of the latching arm 16 is used for locking with the recorded in the outer groove portion 14 ' Housing portion of the complementary connector or adapters.
  • the locking arm 16 also with an im inner groove portion 14 "lying inner lower catch 22 provided.
  • the locking arm 16 in Depth direction of the groove 14 considered at least substantially centrally be arranged.
  • the two groove sections 14 ', 14 " can therefore at least have substantially the same depth (see in particular FIG 3).
  • the two groove sections have 14 ', 14 "in the present case have a different width outer, upper groove portion 14 'is so here, for example, narrower than the inner, lower groove portion 14 ".
  • the outer groove portion 14 ' may in particular as a standard recording for a housing portion of different complementary connector or adapter to be executed.
  • the inner, lower serves Groove portion 14 ", for example, for receiving a mounting plate 20 at which is for example a sheet metal tab or the like can.
  • the axial groove 14 can in particular on an outer housing wall be provided or trained.
  • the latching arm 16 can at its left in Figures 1 and 2 end be mounted resiliently pivotable. He can be at least partially flexible Material exist.
  • the housing 12th On its side remote from the locking arm 16 side, the housing 12th be provided for example with a complementary locking means.
  • Locking arm 16 After a lock with the housing section of the complementary Connector or adapter and / or the mounting plate 20 can the Locking arm 16 again assume its de-energized normal position.
  • a fixed partition 24 may be provided.
