Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug connector with contact elements which, in their direction of travel, consist of a contact section intended for the conductor connection part and a contact section intended for making contact with a mating contact element, and with a strip-shaped insulating material housing into which at least one insulating material strip fitted with contact elements can be inserted from a conductor connection side.
  • the insulating strip is provided transversely to the direction of the contact elements with juxtaposed chambers which are laterally delimited by partitions and are only open to a flat side of the strip except in the direction of the contact elements and in each of which a contact element can be inserted at least with its conductor connecting part.
  • Such a connector is known for example from DE-GM 7 146 936.
  • the known connector is used to connect the individual conductors of an electrical flat cable to contact elements, which in turn can connect to corresponding mating contact elements.
  • the individual conductors are connected to the contact elements of the connector before the contact elements are inserted into the chambers of the connector.
  • this is advantageous because the grid spacing of the contact elements usually deviates from the distance of the individual conductors with which they lie together in the connection of the flat cable, and the contact elements before insertion into the chambers by means of a laterally separable transverse strip at a distance of the individual conductors of the cable can be held together.
  • the object of the present invention is to make a plug connector of the type mentioned at the beginning also usable in an uncomplicated manner for connecting the individual conductors of a round cable or individual conductors running separately from one another, the contact elements being capable of being securely latched onto the insulating material strips.
  • this object is achieved in that the insulating strips only extend over the length of the conductor connection part of the contact elements, that the contact elements in the region of their conductor connection part have at least one contact slot set up for pressing in a conductor from the open side of the chambers, which extends from across the partition-directed insulation displacement contact limbs are limited, and that the contact elements can be latched into the chambers by pressing in the conductor connection part from the flat side of the chambers towards the flat side in such a way that the insulation displacement contact legs form shoulders which abut the partition walls and are overlapped by locking projections of the partitions.
  • This design of the connector enables a particularly simple connection of the contact elements with the insulating strips, since no pushing movement is necessary for this, because the chambers are continuously open in the direction of insertion. Due to the special latching of the contact elements in the insulating strips, the holding effect of the latching projections is further improved by pressing a conductor into the contact slots of the contact elements, since the insulation displacement contact legs are pushed even more under the council projections with slight deflection to the outside.
  • each contact element has two contact slots in the direction of travel and that a region of the latching projections provided between the contact slots is provided at least on one side of the chambers with a recess into which a wall part of the contact element engages.
  • the plug connector is constructed with the aid of relatively thin-walled insulating strips 1, which are provided with chambers 3 arranged next to one another transversely to the direction of travel of contact elements 2.
  • Each chamber 3 is provided for receiving the conductor connection part 4 of a contact element 2 and laterally delimited by partitions 5.
  • the chambers 3 are continuously open to a flat side 6 of the strip 1, and also in the direction of the contact elements 2 on the two boundary walls 7 of the strips, which are transverse to the direction of the contact elements 2 are directed.
  • the strips can be kept in rolls.
  • the strips In the direction of the contact elements 2, the strips only extend over the area of the conductor connection parts 4 of the contact elements 2, so that a contact element 2 inserted into the chamber 3 with the conductor connection part 4 has a contact section 8 intended for making contact with a mating contact element, e.g. a contact spring part, protrudes freely over the insulating material strip 1.
  • a mating contact element e.g. a contact spring part
  • the conductor connection parts 4 of the contact elements 2 have a U-profile, the transverse wall 9 of which contacts the bottom 10 of a chamber 3, and the side walls 11 of which abut the chamber partitions 5.
  • angled sections 12 of the two side walls 11 form two insulation displacement contact points, each with a contact slot 13 which opens towards the open side of the chamber 3 and is delimited by insulation displacement contact legs 14.
  • the insulation displacement contact legs 14 are thereby arranged transversely to the direction of the contact elements 2 and abut shoulders 15 on the partition walls 5.
  • projections 16 overlap the shoulders 15 of the insulation displacement contact legs and thereby hold the conductor connection part of a contact element 2 in the chambers 3 opposite the open side 6 of the chambers.
  • the projections 16 of a partition 5 are provided with a recess 17 between the insulation displacement contact points arranged at a certain distance from one another.
  • a correspondingly dimensioned section 18 of a side wall 11 of the U-profile of the contact elements 2 fits into this recess direction held in the chamber 3, since the wall section 18 locks when inserting the conductor connection part 4 of a contact element 2 into one of the chambers 3 in the recess 17 of the projections 16.
  • Each contact element 2 can be pressed into a chamber 3 of the insulating material strip 1 with its conductor connecting part 4 which is open continuously between the walls 7, the projections 16 initially diverging slightly.
  • the projections 16 overlap the shoulders 15 of the insulation displacement contact limbs 14 and thereby lock the contact element 2 in the chamber 3 in the opposite direction to the direction of insertion.
  • a conductor 19, e.g. of a round cable 20, are pressed into the two insulation displacement contact points of the contact element 2, which are each realized by a contacting slot 13.
  • a conductor interception section 21 of the conductor connection part 4 the conductor interception section 21 being provided at the end of the contact element 2 facing away from the contact section 8
  • a conductor connected with the aid of the insulation displacement contact points of the contact element 2 can additionally be fixed on the contact element 2.
  • tabs 22 protruding from the side walls 11 of the conductor connection part 4 toward the flat side 6 are squeezed against the conductor nestling into the U-profile.
  • insulating strips 1 composed of three insulating strips 1 can now be inserted from the conductor connection side 25 into a suitably dimensioned insulating housing 26.
  • the locking hooks 28 provided on the conductor connection side 25 of the insulating material housing 26 finally overlap the walls 7 of the two outer insulating material strips 1 facing away from the contact sections 8 and thereby hold the insulating material strip package in the insulating material housing 26.
  • the contact sections 8 of the contact elements 2 are accessible via insertion openings 29 which are provided on the side of the insulating material housing 26 facing away from the conductor connection side 25.
