Abstract

A connector holder for securing a vehicle headlamp harness connector, the connector holder comprising: a guide means for guiding the connector in a determined insertion direction onto a support at the connector securing position, a support surface configured to stop movement of the connector in the insertion direction when the securing position of the connector is reached, a securing means for securing the connector in the securing position against movement opposite to the insertion direction, the securing means being configured to engage with at least one securing portion provided on the connector to secure the connector; wherein the securing means is formed as at least two latching elements with locking lugs, wherein the locking lugs snap over the securing portion of the connector when the connector is in the securing position.

Description

Connector bracket for fixing vehicle headlamp harness connector

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a connector support for fixing vehicle headlamps pencil connector, connector support includes:

-guiding means for guiding the connector in a determined insertion direction onto the holder in the connector securing position,

a support surface configured to stop movement of the connector in the insertion direction when the connector securing position is reached,

-a fastening means for securing the connector in a fixed position against movement opposite to the insertion direction, the fastening means being configured to engage with at least one fastening portion provided on the connector.

Background

Generally, a connector for a vehicle headlamp, particularly a wire harness connector, is fixed to a bracket by a screw, but this connector fixing method is expensive. In addition, screw bosses and space for assembling the connector to the bracket must be considered.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a connector holder that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.

In order to achieve this object, according to the invention a connector holder of the kind mentioned initially is further developed, wherein the fastening means are formed as at least two latching elements with locking lugs, wherein the locking lugs snap over the fastening portion of the connector when the connector is brought into the fastening position.

Thanks to these features, the connector is fixed in place on the bracket in a simple manner, without the need for further or additional fastening or mounting means, such as screws, and the assembly of the connector on the bracket is easier.

Advantageously, the blocking element extends from the support surface in a direction opposite to the insertion direction.

Advantageously, the guide means comprise a first stop element and the support surface comprises a second stop element, the first stop element and the second stop element being configured to fix the connector in a fixed position against movement transverse to the insertion direction.

Advantageously, the connector holder is constructed as one piece.

Advantageously, the connector holder is made of one material.

Advantageously, the material is plastic.

Advantageously, the material is polybutylene terephthalate containing 30% glass fibres.

Drawings

In the following, for further explanation of the invention, illustrative and non-limiting embodiments are discussed, as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 is a top view of a connector holder;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the connector holder of FIG. 1 with the harness connector assembled in a fixed position in the connector holder; and

fig. 3 is a side view of the connector holder and assembled connector of fig. 2.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a connector holder 10 for holding a vehicle headlamp harness connector 20, said connector holder 10 comprising guiding means 100 for guiding the connector 20 in a determined insertion direction X onto the holder 10 at a fixed position P1 of the connector 20.

Furthermore, the connector holder 10 comprises a support surface 200 configured to stop the movement of the connector 20 in the insertion direction X when the fixing position P1 of the connector 20 is reached, which support surface 200 is shown in fig. 2.

In order to secure the connector 20 in the fixing position P1 against a movement opposite to the insertion direction X, the connector holder comprises a fastening means 300, said fastening means 300 being configured to engage with at least one fastening portion 30 provided on the connector 20 to secure the connector. The fastening device 300 is formed as at least two latching elements with locking lugs 350, which extend from the support surface 200 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction X, wherein the locking lugs 350 snap over the fastening portion 30 of the connector 20 when the connector 20 is brought into the securing position P1, as shown in fig. 2.

In the example of the connector holder 10 shown in the figures, the connector holder 10 is constructed as a single piece and is made of plastic, preferably polybutylene terephthalate containing 30% glass fibres.

Furthermore, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the guide 100 comprises a first stop element 110, the support surface 200 comprises a second stop element 210, the first stop element 110 and the second stop element 210 being configured to fix the connector 20 in the fixing position P1 against a movement transverse to the insertion direction X.

Fig. 3 shows in side view the connector holder 10 in a fixed position P1 in the holder.
