Abstract

In a multipole connection between a central electronic apparatus and a plurality of peripheral apparatuses, the connection parts on the cable side are designed such that they could be introduced into the connection which is mounted in a fixed manner on the central apparatus in a positively locking manner and such that they cannot be confused, and, according to Fig. 2, complement one another to form the overall contour of the connection. <IMAGE>

Description

Elektronische Geräte sind häufig mit mehrpoligen Steckverbindungen ausgestattet. Fernsehempfänger sind beispielsweise mit einer 21-poligen Steckverbindung, der sogenannten Scart- oder Euro-AV-Steckverbindung ausgestattet. Über diese Steckverbindung werden Peripheriegeräte, wie Videorecorder oder Satellitenempfänger, mit dem Fernsehgerät verbunden. Zur Vermeidung einer falschen Kontaktierung ist diese Steckverbindung in bekannter Weise durch eine besondere äußere Kontur so ausgebildet, daß die Steckverbindung nur in einer bestimmten räumlichen Zuordnung von Stecker- und Buchsenteil herstellbar ist. Aus der Fig. 1 ist der Aufbau dieser bekannten Steckverbindung ersichtlich. Sollen mehrere Peripheriegeräte an die geräteseitige Steckverbindung angeschlossen werden, dann ergeben sich Schwierigkeiten. Es sind dann entweder mehrere parallelgeschaltete geräteseitige Teile der Steckverbindung oder ein zusätzlicher Adapter mit einem Eingang und mehreren Ausgängen erforderlich.Electronic devices are often equipped with multi-pin plug connections. For example, television receivers are equipped with a 21-pin connector, the so-called Scart or Euro-AV connector. Peripheral devices, such as video recorders or satellite receivers, are connected to the television via this plug connection. In order to avoid incorrect contacting, this plug connection is designed in a known manner by a special outer contour so that the plug connection can only be produced in a specific spatial assignment of the plug and socket part. The structure of this known plug connection can be seen from FIG. 1. Difficulties arise if several peripheral devices are to be connected to the device-side plug connection. Either several parallel parts of the connector on the device side or an additional adapter with one input and several outputs are then required.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, diese Schwierigkeit dadurch zu umgehen, daß die kabelseitigen Teile der Steckverbindung so ausgebildet werden, daß mehrere Teile formschlüssig in den geräteseitigen Teil der Steckverbindung eingeführt werden können und durch spezielle Formgebung trotzdem die Unverwechselbarkeit gewährleistet ist.The object of the invention is to circumvent this difficulty in that the cable-side parts of the plug connection are designed in such a way that several parts can be inserted in a form-fitting manner into the part of the plug connection on the device side and the distinctive shape is nevertheless guaranteed.

Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme ist es möglich, mehrere Peripheriegeräte an das mit einer Steckverbindung ausgestattete Zentralgerät anzuschließen, ohne daß die Gefahr der Verwechslung besteht.This measure according to the invention makes it possible to connect a plurality of peripheral devices to the central device equipped with a plug connection, without the risk of confusion.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe wird durch die Fig. 2 verdeutlicht.The solution to the problem is illustrated by FIG. 2.

Bei den kabelseitigen Steckverbindungsteilen sind Außenkonturen vorgesehen, die sich formschlüssig aneinander fügen, womit die Sicherheit gegenüber Verwechslung gewährleistet wird. Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit sind an der Außenkontur der Steckverbindung Nuten und Federn angebracht, so daß ein falsches Einstecken der kabelseitigen Steckverbindungsteile verhindert wird. Darüberhinaus ist es auch möglich, zwischen den Kontakten in bekannter Weise Kodierungsstife anzubringen.In the case of the cable-side plug-in connection parts, outer contours are provided which fit together in a form-fitting manner, thus ensuring security against confusion. To increase security, grooves and tongues are attached to the outer contour of the plug connection, so that incorrect insertion of the cable-side plug connection parts is prevented. In addition, it is also possible to attach coding pins between the contacts in a known manner.

Claims (3)

1. Mehrpolige Steckverbindung an einem elektronischen Gerät, wobei ein Buchsen- oder Steckerteil am Gerät fest montiert und das Gegenstück an einem Verbindungskabel montiert ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der kabelseitige Teil der Steckverbindung ein- oder mehrteilig ausgebildet ist, derart, daß die Steckverbindung entweder über ein einstückiges kabelseitiges Teil oder über mehrere an verschiedenen Kabeln montierte Steckverbindungensteile hergestellt wird, wobei die kabelseitigen Teile formschlüssig im gesteckten Zustand die Gesamtkontur der Steckverbindung ausfüllen.1. Multi-pin connector on an electronic device, wherein a socket or plug part is permanently mounted on the device and the counterpart is mounted on a connecting cable, characterized in that the cable-side part of the connector is formed in one or more parts, such that the connector either is produced via a one-piece cable-side part or via several plug-in connection parts mounted on different cables, the cable-side parts positively filling the overall contour of the plug-in connection when plugged in. 2. Mehrpolige Steckverbindung nach A 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Konturen der kabelseitigen Teile der Steckverbindung so gewählt sind, daß die Einführung nur in einer bestimmten Position, bezogen auf den geräteseitigen Teil der Steckverbindung, möglich ist.2. Multi-pin connector according to A 1, characterized in that the contours of the cable-side parts of the connector are selected so that the introduction is possible only in a certain position, based on the part of the connector on the device side. 3. Mehrpolige Steckverbindung nach A 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an der Außenkontur der Steckverbindung Nuten und Federn vorgesehen sind.3. Multi-pin connector according to A 2, characterized in that grooves and springs are provided on the outer contour of the connector.
