Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a contact holder for a plug or a socket in which a protective part on a front side has a sealing cap.
  • the sealing cap includes passages for contacts.
  • the DE 1 202 374 A discloses an electrical coupling consisting of two coupling parts.
  • the live contacts are covered in uncoupled state.
  • the power supply for the formed as a sliding contact contact via lines that are connected to terminal screws and are guided by holes.
  • a sleeve, the clamping screws and the power supply lines are through a covered cylindrical sleeve arranged concentrically to the sleeve.
  • the contact pin can be advantageously encompassed on the one hand from the radially outside and on the other hand can be advantageously closed the opening, whereby a shock protection is provided. Furthermore, a dirt entry in the region of the contact bush is prevented by the closure element. Likewise, advantageously, a splash-proof or waterproof version of the connector can be realized.
  • the closure element is supported by means of a first biasing device and an abutment portion.
  • the first biasing means pushes the closure element in the direction of the opening.
  • the opening is advantageously closed when the contact pin is not inserted.
  • a second biasing device surrounds a contact portion of the contact socket at least in sections.
  • a distal portion of the closure element as an abutment to the second biasing device formed. This advantageously ensures that the spring travel of the second biasing means can turn out low, which has an advantageous effect on the execution of the second biasing means, and so advantageous contact force for contacting the contact pin is precisely adjustable and does not decrease significantly over the life of the connector.
  • the distal portion of the closure element has an outer diameter which substantially corresponds to an outer diameter of the male contact pin and / or to an inner diameter of the opening.
  • the closure element functions advantageously both for closing the opening and as an abutment for the second biasing device.
  • the distal portion of the closure element in the insertion direction of an increase in diameter corresponds to the contact portion so that the contact portion opens during a mating operation.
  • the tip of the contact pin touches the socket.
  • the abrasion in the region of the pin tip is avoided and the contact pin is thus preferably contacted in a region which has a constant outer diameter.
  • the distal portion of the closure element in the plugging direction after the increase in diameter on a diameter decrease is advantageously achieved that when closed by means of the closure element opening the second biasing means is in a relaxed position relative to the Voröffenposition.
  • the contact socket is arranged in an insulating body.
  • the opening is made in a different sealing element of the insulating particular silicone.
  • a material matching of sealing element and closure element for closing the opening is possible.
  • as well as a water seal execution of the connector can be realized.
  • a material defining the opening and the closure element are designed to be electrically insulating. As a result, the contact and contact protection of the connector is advantageously produced.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of an electrically conductive contact socket 2 of a connector.
  • the contact socket 2 is constructed substantially rotationally symmetrical to a central longitudinal axis 4.
  • the contact socket 2 is constructed for receiving a contact pin, not shown, in a receiving space 8 in a plugging direction 6. Furthermore, the contact socket 2 is designed to produce an electrically conductive connection between the contact socket 2 and the contact pin.
  • the contact socket 2 is disposed within the connector and, as explained below, accessible through an opening in the connector.
  • a preferably electrically non-conductive or electrically insulating closure element 10 is movably mounted within the contact socket 2.
  • the closure element 10 is supported by means of a first pretensioning device 12 on an abutment portion 14 of the contact socket 2.
  • the first biasing device 12 pushes the closure element 10 against the insertion direction 6.
  • the closure element 10 In the position shown, the closure element 10 is in the insertion direction 6 at a stop 16 of the contact socket 2, which limits the movement of the closure element 10 in the insertion direction 6.
  • the contact pin is not shown.
  • the contact socket 2 has a contact section 22.
  • the contact portion 22 comprises contact webs 24, which are separated by notches 26 from each other.
  • the contact webs 24 have a transverse to the central longitudinal axis 4 oriented outer annular groove 28 in which a second biasing member 30 is arranged in the form of an annular spring.
  • the second biasing means 30 thus surrounds the contact portion 22 at least in sections, to compress the contact portion 22 radially in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 4.
  • the contact pin presses on delivery in the insertion direction on the distal end surface 32 of the closure element 10 and thus moves the closure element 10 in the insertion direction 6.
  • the closure element is arranged against the insertion direction 6 moves, bringing a distal portion 34 with its cylindrical outer wall an inner contact surface 36 rests and thus forms an abutment to the second biasing means 30.
  • the distal portion 34 has an outer diameter 38.
  • the contact region 22 has a distal insertion bevel 40.
  • an insertion region 42 for the closure element 10 adjoins the inner contact surface 36.
  • the contact bush 2 has an annular fastening groove 44 for arrangement in an insulating body.
  • FIG. 2 shows in schematic form a sectional view of a connector 50, wherein a respective contact pin 52 for explaining the function of the contact socket 2 is shown.
  • the contact sockets 2 a and 2 b according to the embodiment in the FIG. 1 added.
  • the distal portion 34 of the closure element 10 has the outer diameter 38, which corresponds to an outer diameter 54 of the male contact pin and / or with an inner diameter of the opening 60 substantially.
  • the connector 50 has an insulating body 62, in which the contact socket 2 is arranged substantially stationary.
  • the opening 60 is closed by the closure element 10 when the contact pin 52 is not supplied. If the contact pin 52 is supplied in the insertion direction 6, then the closure element 10 is displaced in the insertion direction 6. Here, the closure element 10 releases the inner contact surfaces 36 of the contact section 22 and the inner contact surfaces 36 can embrace the contact pin 52.
  • the connector 50 comprises a sealing element 64, in which the opening 60 is executed.
  • the sealing element 64 is substantially fixedly connected to the insulating body 62, however, compared to the insulating body 62 has a higher elasticity, so as to cooperate with the closure element 10, so that the opening 60 is preferably closed waterproof.
  • the opening 60 can not be closed watertight and offers only a Berstoffschutz.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the contact socket 2 in a schematic sectional view.
  • the diameter increase 70 corresponds in such a way to the contact section 22 and in particular to the inner contact surfaces 36, so that the contact section 22 opens in the event of a plug-in operation of the contact pin 52.
  • This pre-opening means that the contact webs 24 move radially outwardly by means of the diameter increase 70 and thus the contacting between the inner contact surface 36 and the contact pin 52 takes place only when the tip of the contact pin 52 when inserted into the contact socket 2, the inner contact surfaces 36th already happened.
  • a portion 72 of the closure element 10 has the distal outer diameter 38 a. If the closure element 10 is in a position in which it lies with the outer diameter 38a in the region of the inner contact surfaces 36, then the inner contact surfaces 36 define an inner diameter 68. Starting from the distal outer diameter 38a, the diameter increases in a section 74 up to Diameter increase 70 too. In a section 76, the outer diameter in the insertion direction 6 decreases again to fall back in the proximal portion 78 of the distal portion 34 to the outer diameter 38 a. The proximal section 78 of the distal section 34 is adjoined by a proximal section 80 of the closure element 10.
  • FIG. 4 is analogous to FIG. 2 an embodiment of the connector 50 is shown.
  • the opening 60 in the insulating body 62 is executed.
  • the opening 60 tapers counter to the insertion direction 6, with which the sections 72 and 74 can be accommodated at least partially in the opening 60.
