Description

The innovation relates to £ in electrical connector housing «,

The DT patent application P 21 13 365.3 refers to a Molded from insulating material electrical connector housing with a contact receiving cavity open at both ends, wherein at one end of the cavity a shoulder against the insertion or withdrawal of a contact member through the called end of the cavity is provided and an ab-

Section of a housing wall is designed as a tab that only connects to the remaining part of the one housing wall is integrally connected to a hinge extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the cavity and has a projection carries, which forms a second shoulder which is spaced from the cavity when the flap is open, so that a contact member can be inserted or withdrawn through the other end of the cavity, and when it is closed Tab extends into the cavity so that an inserted contact member does not pass through the other end of the Cavity can be pulled out, the tab and the rest of the housing cooperating releasable locking members for Have securing the tab in the closed position.

In such a connector housing, the tab and the second shoulder serve to facilitate an easy insertion Allow contact member in the cavity and a form-fitting mounting of the contact member in this; included the second shoulder may serve as an additional holding element to any other intended holding element, ζ. Β. a locking spring formed on the contact member, which interacts with a further shoulder in the cavity.

The second shoulder of such a connector housing has the additional beneficial function of ensuring that a inserted contact member is properly received in the cavity, whereby it is impossible to close the tab, if the contact member does not go far enough into the cavity is used «

Extends in the connector housing according to the BT patent application the flap from the hinge to the other end,

d. H. the end of the cavity remote from the first shoulder, and is locked at its free end to the rest of the housing.

Thus, a contact member occurs in the housing cavity connected conductor from dsm cavity at the end of the same from, on which the locking device is arranged; it can happen that when exercising a transverse to the cavity axis and tensile force directed against the tab on the conductor, the tab is unlocked, and As a result, the secure holding of the contact member in the cavity is lost.

The connector housing according to the innovation is characterized in that the second shoulder at the free end the tab is formed, and that the tab extends from the hinge to one end of the cavity where the first shoulder is arranged, wherein the hinge is spaced from the other end of the cavity.

With this "connector housing, movement brings one with it." a contact member contained in the cavity connected conductor transversely to the cavity axis in the direction of the tab Conductor in contact with a solid section of the housing and not the free end of the tab, and therefore the The tab is not open, but remains in its locked closed position holding the contact member.

An embodiment of the innovation is based on the following the drawing explained in more detail. Show it:

The housing is molded from insulating material and has three contact receiving cavities 1, which are open at both ends. The housing has two locking arms 2, through which it is attached to an associated Housing 101 (see. Pig. 2) can be secured in a known manner.

At one end 4 of each cavity 1 shoulders 3 are formed · _r obtained by the prevent the introduction or the extraction of a in the cavity 1 to be held contact member 5 (Pig. 2) one end 4 of the cavity 1, while the insertion of the associated housing 101 Contained contact member 100 for connecting to the contact member 5 is possible.

A rope of one wall of the housing is designed as a bracket 6, which is made in one piece with the rest of the wall only on a hinge 7, which runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the cavities 1 _{9 »}

The tab 6 carries three Yorsprünge S, each of which forms a second shoulder 9 which, when the tab 6 is open (cf. Pig. 1) is spaced from one of the cavities 1, so that the contact member 5 passes through the other end 10 of the cavity 1 can be inserted or pulled out is _e be closed flap

The contact member 5 has in the usual way a detent spring 11, which cooperates with a further shoulder 12 in the cavity 1 and the pulling out of the contact member 5 by the other end 10 of the cavity 1 prevented.

The contact member 5 is thus secured in the cavity 1 by resting between the shoulders 3 and 12, and additional securing is provided by the shoulders 9 _r when the flap 6 is closed.

The tab 6 has on each side at its free end locking members of known design with locking members 14 cooperate on the other part of the housing and fix the tab 6 in its closed position.

The projections 8 and thus the second shoulders 9 are formed at the free end of the flap 6, and the flap 6 extends from the hinge 7 to one end 4 of each Cavity 1, Perner is the hinge 7 from the other end 10 of each cavity 1 through an inflexible wall section 15 kept at a distance »
