The invention relates to an electrical connector.

2rfino-un / <- sgenuss an electrical connector is provided, das sir.1 attacking at least one connection within a housing is set up and for arrangement in a hole in the Housing is provided; the connector is characterized by that it has a base body in which there is at least one connection element which is provided for engaging the at least one connection in the housing, and that one Eappe is provided for the main body in a snap action is connectable to the base body, such that the cap is determined in relation to the base body in its position, the ICcpoe after the connection with the main body also in a Sohnappvirlciui ™ is provided for engaging the hole.

The invention is illustrated below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail with reference to the drawing * In the binds

The connecting piece vaist a base body 10 made of an insulating Material on, and is aiit two graded .passages 11 and 12 proceed in which avei resiliently deformable contact eleven te 1 ;, I / sit, each. ·; ":) Lic; are laughed in the intended position. The elements 1J, 14 have projections 15 which are against shoulders place in the base body 10. The Ulemente 1J, 14 are each sur Recording of contact tongues 16, 17 set up, which is from a insulating! carrier 1ö extend within a housing 19. the ülenente 1;>, 14 are provided rait jickel connections 20, 21, where Cables 22 and 22 are each transverse to the passages 11, 12 vegerstreck.

The essentially box-shaped cap 24 for the base body 10 has inwardly projecting projections 25 which secure the cap 24 in the intended position opposite the base body in directions transverse to the axes of the passages 11, 12. The cap 24 is made of a resiliently deformable insulating material and has two tongues ko, which can be spread to grip behind two shoulders 27 on the base body, the tongues 26 and the shoulders 27 being provided with bevels on their surfaces, which are initially in contact come together to assist the tongues 26 from sprouting. When the tongues 26 are in engagement with the shoulders 27, there is sufficient play to enable the tongues 26 to be pressed in so that the hole 28 in the housing 19 can be passed. The tongues 26 have to insertion into the hole to support also bevels on their outer sides, which contact corresponding I'asen at the edges of hole 28 2R. Contact elements 13 »14 each have extensions 15a, 14a which abut the cap 24 when it is on the base body 10.

The connector with the cap attached can thus be in the intended Position in the hole 28 are arranged, the contact elements 13> 14 the tongues 16, 17 receive. The area of the body 10 that is away from the cap 24, can be provided for contact with the hunter 10 so that the movement of the connector into the

limit housing 19 into au. Me dimensions of the contact elements 15, 14 are such that the abutment of the extensions 15a »14 ^ an the Eappe an absorption of an axial pressure as a result of an engagement with the tongues 1ξ> "or 17 by the tongues 15 prevented.

The cap 24 is recessed on one side to allow a passage of Cables 22, 25 to enable. The cap 24 is also about an axis symmetrically about intersecting the axes of the passages 11, 12 so that the cap 24 on the body 10 in one or the other two Orientations can be placed to allow cables 22, 23 to be routed away from one side or the other of the body 10.
