Description

The The invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

A trained as a data socket, electrical connector has a base module of a module housing and a positioned in the module housing connection device and a core application cap, cable cores of a data cable via the wire application cap with insulation displacement terminals of the connection device can be contacted. From the EP 0 901 201 B1 as well as from the US 6,767,241 B1 In each case electrical connectors are known, which include a base module and a core application cap. In the known from this prior art electrical connectors base module and core application cap are always designed as separate, separate modules, making the assembly of an electrical connector is difficult because on the one hand one of the modules can be lost during assembly or the modules during assembly in the wrong relative position can be connected.

Of the The present invention is based on the problem of a novel to create electrical connectors.

This Problem is solved by an electrical connector according to claim 1 solved. According to the invention Core application cap and a contact carrier of the connection device, which carries the cutting terminals of the same, via a severable hinge connected.

Of the electrical according to the invention Connector has the Advantage that the core application cap and the basic module of the same is not as two separate, loose assemblies are formed, but is the veining cap over a hinge with the basic module, namely the contact carrier of the connecting device of the basic module, reducing the number of loose parts. By the connection of the core application cap with the contact carrier of Connection means of the basic module is further a relative position between Core fitting cap and basic module when mounting the electrical Connector specified, which can be avoided Core contact cap and basic module during installation in a wrong Relative position are interconnected.

preferred Further developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the following description. An embodiment of the invention is without limitation to be closer to the drawing explained. In the drawing shows:

5 : the section V off 4b ,

The The present invention relates to an electrical connector, namely a data socket for contacting recording of at least one data connector. Such an electrical connector comprises a basic module and a veining cap.

1a to 3b show different views of an inventive, designed as a data socket, electrical connector 10 wearing a veining cap 11 and a basic module 12 includes, wherein the 1a to 3b the electrical connector 10 each with different relative positions of the core application cap 11 and basic module 12 demonstrate. In 1a and 1b take a veining cap 11 and basic module 12 a first relative position in a so-called pre-assembly position. In 2a and 2 B take the veining cap 11 and the basic module 12 a second relative position in a so-called intermediate mounting position and in 3a and 3b a third relative position in a so-called final assembly position.

The veining cap 11 the electrical connector according to the invention 10 serves the Recording ends of cable cores 13 a data cable 14 , being, as best 1a can be removed in the veining cap 11 a total of eight cable wires 13 can be included. For inserting the cable wires 13 of the data cable 14 into the veining cap 11 take a veining cap 11 and basic module 12 in the 1a . 1b shown relative position in the so-called pre-assembly position.

At a bottom of the veining cap 11 are slots 27 formed, in which the ends of the cable wires 13 of the data cable 14 can be threaded to the ends of the cable wires 13 of the data cable 14 relative to insulation displacement terminals 15 one in the basic module 12 arranged connecting device 16 align.

About the veining cap 11 of the connector 10 are those in the veining cap 11 recorded cable wires 13 with the insulation displacement terminals 15 in the basic module 12 arranged connecting device 16 contactable. Every cable core 13 is with a cutting clamp 15 connectable, with the insulation displacement terminals 15 on a contact carrier 17 the connection device 16 are attached.

In the electrical connector according to the invention 10 is the veining cap 11 with the contact carrier 17 the connection device 16 namely with a section 18 of the contact carrier 17 , about a hinge 19 connected. In the pre-assembly position according to 1a and 1b are therefore veining cap 11 and basic module 12 over the hinge 19 captively connected.

To transfer the electrical connector 10 , starting from the in 1a . 1b shown pre-assembly position in the in 3a . 3b The final assembly position shown first becomes the core application cap 11 relative to the basic module 12 around the hinge 19 according to the arrow 20 in 2 B pivoted in an intermediate mounting position, starting from this intermediate mounting position according to 2a and 2 B Core landing cap 11 and basic module 12 can be pressed together by the veining cap 11 in the direction of in 3b shown arrow 21 relative to the basic module 12 is relocated.

When pressing the core application cap 11 with the basic module 12 become the insulation displacement terminals 15 of the basic module 12 with those in the veining cap 11 introduced cable cores 13 of the data cable 14 electrically conductive contacted. During this pressing of the core application cap 11 with the basic module 12 becomes the hinge 19 severed. At the hinge 19 it is therefore a severable hinge, which is preferably designed as a film hinge.

The connection device 16 of the basic module 12 is according to 1a to 3b in a shielding module housing 22 added. The insulation displacement terminals 15 the connection device 16 are electrically conductive with spring contacts 23 the connection device 16 connected, with the spring contacts 23 Contacts of a data connector with the electrical connector 10 can be contacted.

When transferring the core application cap 11 from the pre-assembly position into the final assembly position, one serves the contact carrier 18 associated leadership 24 the guide of the core cap 11 when pressing the core application cap 11 and basic module 12 , wherein in the final assembly position according to 3a and 3b projections 25 the veining cap 11 in recesses 26 engage in the side walls of the module housing 22 are introduced.

It is within the meaning of the present invention to provide a trained as a data socket electrical connector, the core application cap 11 with the basic module 12 namely the contact carrier 17 the same, via a severable hinge 19 is connected, wherein during pressing of the core application cap 11 with the basic module 12 the hinge 19 is severed in the sense of a predetermined breaking point. With the electrical connector according to the invention, the assembly of an electrical connector can be simplified because on the one hand reduces the number of loose assemblies and on the other hand during assembly a relative position between the core application cap 11 and basic module 12 is given.

In the 4a and 4b shown unit of core application cap 11 and contact carrier 17 of the basic module 12 that over the hinge 19 can be made by injection molding.
