Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-pole electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Electrical connectors of the above Kinds that are mainly used in motor vehicles, especially commercial vehicles, must be able to withstand increased stresses such as heat, cold, vibrations, dirt, stone chips and moisture (splash water). They must therefore be particularly robust and reliable, especially if the cables to be connected fulfill functions that are important for the safety of the vehicle, e.g. Anti-lock braking systems or electrical braking systems.
  • Another aspect is the easiest possible assembly and disassembly, even under unfavorable conditions such as poor visibility due to hidden installation position or insufficient lighting.
  • the manufacturing and assembly costs of the plug device must also be as low as possible.
  • the holding force of the plug device in the plugged-together state must be sufficiently high to prevent it from coming loose on its own.
  • locking devices are known (EP-PS 187 887), which hold the plug part and the socket together with a defined force.
  • the known plug-in device is not robust enough for use in the motor vehicle.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a plug-in device of the type mentioned at the outset which fulfills the difficult operating conditions mentioned above and, in addition, is particularly small in the case of a given current and voltage load capacity.
  • the diameter should be as small as possible in order to be able to use the plug device even in confined spaces.
  • the plug-in device according to the invention fulfills the requirements mentioned by the flat or oval design of its central part.
  • known designs have either a continuously round or continuously flat cross section. Due to the peculiar design of the plug-in device according to the invention with round end sections and an oval or flat middle section, it was possible to maintain the required electrical and mechanical values with minimal or predetermined dimensions.
  • the plug device according to the invention is shown in side view, partially in section. It consists of a plug (4) and a socket (5) with which two cables (6) and (7) can be connected.
  • the parts (4) and (5) are made of plastic, namely a variety that must meet the required conditions with regard to heat and cold stress.
  • the outer diameter of the plug device can typically be approximately 10-20 mm.
  • Two contact pins (1, 2) face two contact sleeves (14, 15).
  • the plug device has a circular cross section in area (A), a flat or oval cross section in area (B) and a circular cross section again in area (C).
  • the contact pins and sleeves are arranged side by side on the longitudinal axis (3) of the oval section (B) (see view D-D and E-E).
  • a locking device with a defined separating force serves to keep the plug closed.
  • This device consists of a snap connection with two cams (8, 9) which are arranged on the flat side of the oval section (B) of the plug (4).
  • the cams (8, 9) can be snapped into corresponding cutouts (10, 11) in the bushing (5). These are located on the broad side of the oval housing part (13) of the socket (5) (see Fig. 2).
  • Views F-F and G-G serve to illustrate the transition from the round part (A, C) to the flat part (B).
  • a sealing device which consists of an O-ring (12) which, due to its elasticity, adapts to the oval or flat cross section of the plug part. This is inserted in a groove in the connector (4).
  • the O-ring lies against the inner wall of the oval housing part (13) of the socket (5) and thus seals the plug device against the ingress of moisture.
  • a particular advantage of the plug-in device according to the invention over a round design is that the position of the plug and socket can also be felt blindly due to the flat central part (B). As a result, the plug device can also be plugged together without a view.
  • twisting or interchanging the contacts (1, 2) does not matter when plugging them together.
  • it can be achieved by further known measures, for example by a cam and a suitable groove, coding the plug device, so that polarity reversal is then excluded.
