Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector with a socket part, which consists essentially of a flat plate, which is penetrated by pins or knives arranged in a certain grid, and which protrudes at least on the long sides of the plate parallel to the pins or knives of this side walls has, which are provided on their inner side facing the pins or knives with grooves which extend parallel to the pins or knives, and with at least one plug-in part which can be inserted between the side walls of the socket part and contains contact springs which can be plugged onto the pins or knives, and with Separately manageable hook parts which have tines which can be latched to the socket part and which have hook-shaped tines and can be inserted through openings in the socket part and which protrude from the extension of the side walls of the socket part and provide projections which can be latched behind the locking edges of the plug parts are.
  • Such a structure is provided in the transfer connector system known from EP 0 128 307 A1.
  • coding parts mechanically corresponding to one another are attached both to a cable housing and in the area of a male connector serving as a mating plug element, which are brought into engagement and held with one another via a common locking element.
  • the locking element fulfills the double function of the coding to prevent incorrect connections and the fastening or locking of the cable housing.
  • the coding parts are on the cable housing in the form of pockets and removable web sections and on the male connector as corresponding to the pockets Plug-in sockets as well as sockets for receiving the hooking of the locking elements.
  • the socket part is preferably plugged onto the contact pins or contact knife of a knife or pin strip, which with these knives or pins a rear wall of an electrical device, for. B. a slide-in frame, interspersed.
  • the side walls of the socket part form guides for plug parts which can be inserted between the side walls of the socket part and thereby contact a specific group of pins or knives of the socket part. Hook parts can be locked on the side walls of the socket part, which hold a plug part when it has been inserted between the side walls of the socket part.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a plug connector of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that coding of the plug parts with respect to a socket part is straightforward and the plug parts can also be inserted between the side walls of the socket part and rotated through 180 °.
  • each plug part of the socket part is constructed symmetrically and the openings on the plate of the socket part are provided in the extension of each groove of the side walls, that each plug part is provided with only one comb-like broken-out prong wall that each hook part is provided with a comb-like structure in prongs and the prongs of each connector part and the prongs of each hook part in the grooves of the Side walls fit in that each hook part assigned to a plug part is inserted into the socket part on the opposite side of the plug part to the wall divided into prongs, and that further prongs are provided which, independently manageable, can be inserted into the grooves of the side walls and can be latched to the socket part are.
  • This design of the connector advantageously makes it possible to provide the plug parts with only one cable outlet, with the plug part being rotated through 180 ° giving a further cable outlet direction which is opposite to the other cable outlet direction.
  • the tines provided only on a side of the connector part corresponding to a side wall of the socket part can namely be used by coding out individual tines known per se from EP-0 179 999 A2 to code the connector part, which have a specific association between a connector part and a specific one Group of pins or knives of the socket part is ensured by inserting the tines which can be handled independently of one another into assigned grooves of the socket part and thereby blocking these grooves with respect to tines of the plug part. Due to the symmetrical structure of the socket part, this is optionally possible on one or the other side of the socket part. Accordingly, the hook parts used to hold the socket part can be assigned to one or the other side wall.
  • the grooves of the side walls are arranged in the grid spacing of the pins or knives. This makes it possible to move each plug part in a grid spacing along the socket part, so that any group of pins or knives of the socket part can be assigned to a specific plug part.
  • a socket part 1 has a strip-shaped plate 2, which is penetrated by channels 3 in a certain grid order. With these channels 3, the plate 2 can be pushed over a certain group of pins or knives 4. The pins or knives 4 are located with end sections on the top 5 of the plate 2.
  • the plate 2 is provided along its longitudinal edges with side walls 6 projecting from the plate 2 parallel to the pins or knives 4.
  • the side walls 6 form guides for connector parts 7, which are dimensioned such that they can be inserted between the side walls 6 and contact a certain number of pins or knives 4 with contact springs which are contained in the connector parts.
  • the contact springs located in the plug parts 7 are connected to lines which are led out of a plug part 7 via a cable 8.
  • the cable 8 leaves a plug part 7 via a cable outlet opening, which enables the cable outlet in a direction parallel to the side walls 6 of the socket part 1.
  • both side walls 6 are on the inside 9, each facing the opposite side wall 6 of the same socket part 1, with the pins or Knives 4 parallel ribs 10 provided.
  • the ribs 10 delimit grooves 11 into which prongs 12 of a plug part 7 adapted to the grooves can be inserted.
  • the tines 12 result from a comb-like design of a U-side wall 13 of a U-shaped plug part housing 14, the U-side walls 13 of which are directed parallel to the side walls 6 when a plug part 7 is inserted between the side walls 6 of the socket part 1.
  • the tines 12 provided at the free end of one of the two U-side walls 13 of the plug part housing 14 can be inserted both into the grooves 11 of the one side wall 6 of the socket part 1 and into the grooves 11 of the other side wall 6 of the socket part 1.
  • a plug part 7 can therefore also be inserted rotated by 180 ° between the side walls 6 of the socket part 1. Therefore, the plug part 7 only requires a cable outlet opening on an upper part 15 of its housing 14.
  • 2b, 2c and 2d show that wall-like intermediate pieces 16 provided with contact spring chambers are laterally attached to a middle piece 17 which also has contact spring chambers and united with the middle piece 17 to form a block between the U-side walls of the plug part housing 14 to form the plug part will. Snap tabs secure the connection between the parts 16 and 17 and the connector part housing 14 and the block formed from the parts 16 and 17.
  • individually manageable tines 18 can be inserted into the grooves 11 of the side walls 6.
  • a plug part 7 can therefore only be inserted between the side walls 6 of the socket part 1 if the tine 12 which is intended for a groove 11 which is blocked by a prong 18 has previously been broken out.
  • a wall-like hook part 19 can also be connected to any of the two side walls 6, starting from a crossbeam 20 which, when a hook part 19 is connected to a wall 6 of the socket part 1, sits on the free edge of the wall 6 in question, on one side as well is provided with comb-like tines 21, while on the other side a locking tab 22 is provided which, when the hook part 19 with the prongs 21 has been inserted into grooves 11 of the socket part 1 and the crossbar 20 sits on a side wall 6, extends the relevant side wall 6 protrudes from the socket part 1.
  • the tab 22 When inserting a plug part 7 between the side walls 6 of the socket part 1, the tab 22 is pushed back elastically, in order then to engage with a locking hook 23 behind an edge of the plug part housing 14 and to hold the plug part 7 on the socket part 1.
  • Tine tips of the separately manageable tines 18 and at least some of the tines 21 are extended and hook-shaped at the free end. These tine tips penetrate openings 24, which are provided in the plate 2 in the extension of each groove 11 and hook on the side of the plate 2 facing away from the upper side 5. As a result, the separately manageable tines 18 and a hook part 19 are held on the socket part 1.
  • a hook part 19 By connecting a hook part 19 to the socket part 1, the location is visually indicated at which a plug part 7 is to be connected to the socket part 1.
  • the crossbar 20 of a hook part 19 extends namely over the entire length of that zone of the socket part 1 which is to be occupied by a plug part 7.
  • a hook part 19 connected to the socket part 1 determines the respective rotational position of a plug part 7 with respect to a cable outlet opening of the plug part 7, since the side wall 13 of the plug part housing 14 provided with the prongs 12 cannot be assigned to the side wall 6 of the socket part 1 that already is occupied by a hook part 19.
  • the grooves 11 are distributed over the side walls 6 of the socket part 1 in such a way that they are at a distance from one another which corresponds to the grid spacing of the pins or knives 4 or the channels 3 in the plate 2 and are synchronized with this grid. This makes it possible to assign a plug part 7, which only occupies a certain section of the socket part 1 in the direction of the socket part 1 parallel to the side walls 6, to any group of pins or knives 4 of the socket part 1.
  • the pins or knives 4 can be contact pins or contact knives of a pin or knife strip 25 which is inserted with the connection side of the contact pins or contact knives through a housing rear wall 26 provided with bores in the pitch of the contact pins or contact knives.
