Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lockable electrical connector according to the preamble of claim l.
  • DE-OS 3l 50 424 shows an electrical connector with a U-shaped wire spring that locks the connector with the mating connector.
  • the locking spring can be expanded by sliding it onto two housing slopes so that the locking is released.
  • Such a mechanism is susceptible to tilting of the wire spring, particularly in the case of very wide, multi-pole connectors. Tilting, however, leads to an uneven spreading of the spring.
  • the connector housing must always be accessible on its two broad sides for detaching.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the handling of the connector when releasing the connection.
  • the invention leads to a securely lockable connector which - even with considerable Ver dirt - is easy to solve.
  • This is the direct consequence of dispensing with the known sliding arrangement and also enables the safe and easily releasable locking of multipole and in particular wide connectors.
  • the connector according to the invention only the two narrow sides of the connector housing need to be accessible for detachment, a finger width being sufficient; the connector can thus be arranged with one or even both broad sides in the immediate vicinity of a wall or the like, without this arrangement hindering the detachment.
  • dispensing with a sliding movement of the spring there is no danger of grinding away any corrosion protection of the metal spring.
  • a connector 1 is shown, which is to be locked with a mating connector 2.
  • the connector 1 comprises a flat housing 3 with two contact chambers 4, into which electrical plug contacts, not shown, such as sockets, flat plugs and the like can be used. These plug contacts are usually connected to electrical lines which emerge from the rear section 5 from the housing 3, optionally sealed.
  • the housing 3 can be provided in the interior 6, in particular at the transition to section 5 which cannot be seen in FIG. 1, as is known from the prior art mentioned.
  • the interior 6 of the housing 3 is intended for receiving the mating connector 2, which is provided with corresponding electrical contacts.
  • latching 2 locking lugs 7 with bevels 7a are arranged on the narrow sides of the mating connector, which can be inserted into corresponding slots 8 of the housing 3.
  • a U-shaped locking spring 9 made of wire is provided for sliding onto the housing 3, see FIG. 1 at the top right.
  • the locking spring 9 and the housing 3 are constructed symmetrically, so that the same parts or sections with the are provided with the same reference number. For better clarity, the locking spring is shown in FIG. 1 once before it is mounted and once after it is mounted on the housing 3.
  • the locking spring 9 initially consists of a central base section 10, which is U-shaped, see FIG. 2.
  • the base section 10 consists of a web 11 and two legs 11 a extending in the plug-in direction X-X.
  • the base section l0 extends in a plane which extends in the plug-in direction X - X; the web 11 is slightly bent in this plane, compare FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the locking spring 9 further consists of two spring legs 12 which are bent vertically from the legs 11 a and extend downwards with a slight approximation to one another and form locking sections 13.
  • the spring legs l2 then move away from each other into a two-armed lever l4.
  • the two-armed levers l4 are bent backwards almost at right angles from the spring legs l2.
  • the first lever arms l5 run approximately parallel to the legs 11a, compare FIGS. 2 and 3, followed by second lever arms l6 slightly angled outwards at the break point P.
  • the second lever arms 16 form handles, in particular the thumb and can easily grip the index finger of one hand to release the locking and plug connection.
  • every second lever arm l6 is U-shaped by itself, in that the section l7 adjoining the first lever arm l5 is bent twice approximately at right angles, compare FIG. 3.
  • the lever arms l6 end with the wire ends l8, approximately above the break point P. Mit l8a denotes the end of the lever arm l6 at the break point P.
  • the locking spring 9 is pushed onto the housing 3 from above, see FIG. 1 in the middle.
  • the middle base section l0 is located on the top l9 of the housing 3, that is to say in a plane which extends in the plug-in direction X-X.
  • the legs 11a extending in the X-X direction have slid on the housing 3 when slid over slopes 20 and are locked behind projections 2l.
  • the two bent spring legs l2 extend through slots 22 into the grooves 8 in the interior 6 of the housing 3, where they form locking sections l3.
  • the spring legs l2 emerge again from the housing 3 below the slots 8 and then pass into the first lever arms l5, which run approximately in the plug-in direction X-X.
  • the angled second lever arms l6 are connected to the first lever arms l5.
  • the point P of the bend forms the support for the two-armed lever l4 on the outside 23 of the housing 3.
  • the second lever arms l6 are supported on the wire ends l8 above the vertex P on the outside 23 of the housing 3 and thus form a second bearing for everyone two-armed lever arm l4. This largely prevents transverse twisting or twisting of the handling section, that is to say the second lever arm 16.
  • the second lever arms 16 are pressed against the housing 3 by means of the thumb and forefinger of one hand.
  • the locking spring 9 tilts about the breakpoints P, whereby the spring legs l2 are spread.
  • the first lever arms l5 pull the locking gates l3 out of the grooves 8: the catches 7 of the mating connector 2 are released so that the plug connection can be released by pulling the two connectors 1 and 2 apart.
  • the spring legs l2 are forcibly priced through the run-up bevels 7a of the locking lugs 7 until after the insertion of the mating connector 2, the locking sections l3 lock behind the locking lugs 7 and secure the locking in a form-fitting manner.
