- FIG. 20 and FIG. 21 show a sealed arrangement in two sectional views.
- FIG. 1 shows a four-pronged, flat contact comb 1 made of sheet metal, in which four-pronged flat plugs 3 of the same shape extend in parallel from one comb back 2 in one direction.
- the flat connectors 3 have two-sided recesses 4 in the end region, which serve as catches for barbs to be received.
- two openings 5 are introduced, which serve to receive the housing compound to be encapsulated.
- Figure 2 shows a four-pin connector according to the invention with a housing 7 which is injection molded around the comb 1; the comb 1 is not visible here, in the rear, lower area 8 the encapsulation of the back of the comb 2 can be seen, while the front, higher area 9 serves to accommodate contact parts described below, which can be inserted into the front openings 10.
- Figure 3 shows a seven-pin
- Figure 4 shows a twelve-pin version of the connector.
- Such multi-pole designs can also be produced by stringing together low-pole connectors.
- Such a string is known in connectors and can, for. B. be produced by side dovetail guides.
- FIGS. 5 to 7 show a first embodiment of the contact points 11. Between a flat plug 3 of a multiple plug connector 1 and a single plug contact 12 to be inserted into the housing 7 in the form of a flat plug socket.
- the flat receptacle consists of a crimping claw 13 and a socket part 14 and can be connected to the crimping claw 13 with an electrical line, not shown.
- the flat plug 3 made of sheet metal ends with a chamfer 15. At a certain distance from this, the two lateral recesses 4 are formed, which form stop surfaces 16 running perpendicular to the plug-in direction S.
- the single plug contact 12 to be accommodated in the housing 7 has two lateral barbs 17 bent inwards in the region of the socket part 14.
- the socket part 14 is composed of a lower, pressed-up bottom part 18, two side walls 19 and two ceiling parts 20 bent back on the bottom part 18, which end with longitudinal edges 21. 5 and 6, the flat plug 3 is inserted into the socket part 12: the bottom part 18 contacts the lower side of the flat plug 3, the edges 21 the upper side thereof, and the barbs 17 lie in the recesses 4 and form with the stops 16 a positive locking that prevents loosening of the connection flat connector 3 / single plug contact 12.
