Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking bracket for a plug assembly comprising a pin strip and a socket connector, in particular a flat cable plug connection, the locking bracket being designed as a C-shaped clamp with an elongated central web intended for contact with one of the strips and with C-legs attached to its longitudinal ends Have locking elements for engagement with counter-locking elements on the connector assembly.
  • plug connections are used in printed circuit board double boards, which are connected by a hinge.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a locking bracket of the type mentioned, which on the one hand takes up little space and on the other hand is suitable to facilitate the disconnection of the connector.
  • the C-legs each have first locking elements which are intended for engagement with first counter-locking elements on the bar, which is close to the central web when the plug arrangement is locked, that one each on the outside of the C-legs a latch which is pivotable with respect to the longitudinal direction of the central web and the C-leg is arranged with a second latching element, which is in each case intended for engagement with a second counter-latching element on the strip of the plug arrangement which is remote from the center bar, and that the latches at their end near the center bar have turned handle strips on the outside.
  • the locking bracket according to the invention is placed, for example, on the socket strip, so that the locking elements on the C-legs engage with the counter-locking elements on the socket strip and the locking bracket is firmly connected to the socket strip.
  • This locking can be released again by simply pivoting the locking pawls, and at the same time the socket strip connected to the locking clip can be pulled out of the pin strip, since the grip elements on the locking pawls enable the locking clip and thus also the socket strip connected to it to be securely gripped.
  • the socket strip can be pulled out of the pin strip without the aid of tools.
  • the locking bracket is preferably made in one piece from an elastic plastic material, the latches being connected to the respective C-leg via a web-shaped material bridge.
  • This training reduces costs and simplifies the manufacture of the locking bracket.
  • the locking elements on the C-legs are formed by recesses into which the first counter-locking elements engage on the relevant strip of the plug arrangement.
  • the length of the locking pawls preferably corresponds approximately to the length of the C-leg, the pivot axis being in a central region between the longitudinal ends of the locking pawl and the respective C-leg. This means that the catches practically do not protrude beyond the central web in the longitudinal direction of the C-legs.
  • the overall height of the connector arrangement is only slightly increased by the locking bracket.
  • FIG. 1 shows a pin strip 10 which is soldered onto a printed circuit board 12, the ends of the contact pins 14 which are not shown protruding from the bottom of the pin strip 10 being bent at right angles and inserted into the corresponding printed circuit board bores.
  • the pin strip 10 is assigned a socket strip 16, to which a ribbon cable 18 is connected in a manner known per se by insulation displacement technology.
  • a locking bracket, generally designated 20, is placed on the socket strip 16. It is in the form of a C-shaped bracket with a central web 22 and C-legs 24, the dimensions of which are adapted to the dimensions of the socket strip 16, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the C-legs 24 have openings 26 (FIG. 2) which are intended for receiving projections 28 which are formed on the end faces 30 of the longitudinal ends of the socket strip 16. If appropriate 1, the locking bracket with its central web 22 on which the rear side of the socket strip 16 which faces away from the inlet openings for the contact pins 14 snaps, the projections 28 snap into the recesses 26 of the C-legs 24, so that these directly on the end faces 30 the female connector 16 abut.
  • the locking bracket 20 is detachable in this way and yet firmly connected to the socket strip 16.
  • a latch is connected to the outside of each C-leg 24 via a web-shaped material bridge 32, which extends parallel to the C-leg 24 and whose length essentially corresponds to the length of the respective C-leg 24. It carries on its inside near its end distant from the central web 22 a locking lug 36 which, when the socket strip 16 is inserted into the pin strip 10, is to snap into a complementary recess 38 at one end of the pin strip 10. At its end facing the central web 22, it is provided with an outwardly directed grip strip 40.
  • the entire locking bracket 20 including the locking pawls 34 consists of a certain amount of elastic plastic material, so that the locking pawls 34 can be pivoted about their longitudinal direction by deformation of the web 32.
  • the projections 28 on the female connector 16 snap into the recesses 26 in the C-legs 24, on the one hand, and the latches 36 on the latches 34 snap into the recesses 38 on the connector strip 10 on the other hand allows.
  • the release of the locking lugs 36 from the recesses 38 takes place in that the locking pawls 34 on the handle strips 40 are gripped and pressed together, the locking pawls 34 being pivoted such that the Latches 36 emerge from the recesses 38 of the pin strip 10.
  • the socket strip 16 still locked with the C-legs 24 can now be pulled out of the plug strip 10, since the grip strips 40 enable the locking bracket 20 and thus also the socket strip 16 to be securely gripped without the aid of tools.
  • the locking bracket 20 corresponds to the locking bracket shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the plug connection shown in FIG. 3 differs from the previously described embodiment by its pin strip 42, which is not soldered to a printed circuit board, but is also connected to a ribbon cable 44.
  • the pin strip 42 instead of a housing accommodating the socket strip 16, the pin strip 42 only has two legs 46 at its longitudinal ends, in which recesses 48 are provided, into which the detents 36 of the detent pawls 34 snap when the pin strip 42 and the socket strip 16 are plugged together. The release of the lock and the separation of the two strips 42 and 16 takes place in the same manner as was described in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
