Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable-plug connection with an at least two-core, flexible cable and at least two plug parts made of electrically conductive material, which are electrically separated from one another by an insulating layer, the cable end and the connection area of the plug parts with the wires of an synthetic outer sheath are surrounded that the current-conducting connection between the metal connector sleeves and the wires of the cable is solderless, each by means of pointed, metallic tongues which protrude from the connector sleeves and which each engage between the elastic cable sleeve and the metal wires, and a clamp enclosing the cable on the cable end area is put on.
  • a large number of cable plug connections are known and are particularly widespread in a coaxial version for low-voltage or communication devices.
  • the conventional production method contains a soldered connection between the connector sleeves and the electrically conductive wires.
  • Another disadvantage arises from the fact that the connection to the part removed from the plug sleeve must be as flexible as possible. Such solder connections often fail at high bending stresses, possibly combined with tensile stresses.
  • the connector pins cannot be pulled out of the two-part housing after assembly, they are each provided with a radial projection which engages in a recess in the housing.
  • Such a connector design cannot be used for coaxially nested connector sleeves.
  • FR-A-1361157 shows a connector in which there are three flat sliders lying side by side, which with their sharpened end engage in an electrical cable for making contact. The other end is each provided with a clamping sleeve for clamping the supplying electrical conductor. This construction, too, cannot be transferred to plug sleeves lying coaxially one inside the other.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cable-plug connection which is suitable for mass production and which can be produced particularly efficiently, does not require a soldered connection and can withstand increased bending and tensile stress.
  • the invention with which this object is achieved is characterized in that the two connector sleeves are tubular, lie coaxially one inside the other and are electrically insulated from one another by a cylindrical insulation sleeve, and the connector sleeves together with their tongue each form a single piece of metal, the two tongues being angularly offset from one another and the clip extends at least partially over the insertion area of the tongues, and there is a sprayed-on plastic outer jacket surrounding the clip, the cable end and a partial length of the outer connector sleeve.
  • the stripping process of the electrical wires is eliminated due to the solderless connection.
  • the tapered tongues of the two connector sleeves are angularly offset from one another, there is a sufficient insulation distance and, moreover, this results in a position of the tongues which is usually approximately the distance of the two electrical conductor cores.
  • the clip placed on the end area of the cable provides additional contact security and provides protection against tensile loads. The whole is by an overmolded outer jacket made of plastic against the effects of oxidation or the like. protected.
  • the cable connector connection described below with reference to FIGS. 1-3 is designed with two wires.
  • the two plug sleeves 2, 3 connected to one wire each are located coaxially into one another and are electrically separated by a cylindrical insulating sleeve 4, which merges into an insulating ring 5 at the front.
  • the plug sleeves 2, 3, the cable 6 and the connecting elements located between them are surrounded by a sprayed-on outer jacket 7 made of plastic, which is designed as a grip body. Grooves 8 are provided on both sides to increase its flexibility.
  • Each of the two metallic connector sleeves 2, 3 is provided at its rear end with a narrow, pointed tongue 9 which projects in the axial direction and forms a single piece with the respective connector sleeve 2, 3.
  • the plug sleeves 2, 3 together with tongues 9 can either be rolled cylindrically from a flat piece of metal or rotated, milled and drilled from rod material.
  • the mutual distance between these two tongues 9 is selected so that it corresponds approximately to the center distance of the two wires 10 of the cable 6.
  • the two electrically conductive wires 10 are surrounded on the outside in a conventional manner with a flexible, electrically insulating cable sheath 12, which consists of an elastomer, in particular soft plastic.
  • Both plug sleeves 2, 3 have transverse bores 27 on their jacket for the passage of plastic when the outer jacket 7 is sprayed on and to secure the position of the connector sleeves 2, 3.
  • the solderless, electrical connection between the tongues 9 and the two cores 10 takes place in such a way that the pointed tongues 9 are each pushed in between the elastic cable sheath 12 and the cores 10, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 8.
  • the cores 10 preferably consist of a large number of very thin wires forming a strand. This creates good electrical contact between the stranded wires and the tongues 9.
  • the elasticity of the cable jacket 12 causes a contact pressure between the tongues 9 and the stranded wires, so that there is a permanent good electrical contact.
  • the tongues 9 are provided with a plurality of beads 19 or the like distributed in the axial direction. provided that serve the good anchoring in the shell 12. Thus, the usual stripping of the cable sheath enveloping the strands 10 is not necessary.
  • the depth of penetration of the tongues 9 is at least half, preferably the entire axial extent of the clip 16.
  • a two-part clamp 16 is snugly placed on the cable end area. On the one hand, this prevents the cable sheath 12 from expanding after the tongues 9 are inserted, and on the other hand, this clamp 16 takes up a load in the event of a strong axial pull on the cable 6. A tip 25 of the clamp 16 engages in the connecting web between the two sheaths 12 .
  • the two clamp sections 28, 29 are inserted into one another and subsequently enclose the cable sheaths 6.
  • the two sections 28, 29 each consist of a material that is harder than the cable sheaths 12, for example hard plastic.
  • the clamp part 28 has an essentially U-shaped cross section with two legs 11 and a connecting part 13 connecting the legs 11, which has arcuate recesses 14 lying inside one another with a pointed center pin 25 lying between them.
  • the central pin 25 penetrates the connecting web between the two cable sheaths 12.
  • the clip legs 11 each contain an inclined surface 21 at their free ends in order to facilitate the fitting of the counterpart 28.
  • the legs 11 each contain a shoulder 23 on their inside.
  • the counterpart 29 to be placed on the clamp part 28 is provided on both sides with a groove 15 which corresponds to the thickness of the legs 11.
  • Each groove 15 contains a shoulder 20.
  • In the central part there are two arcuate recesses 17 lying next to one another. By pressing the clamp part 29 onto the legs 11, these are initially spread apart in a resilient manner.
  • the bracket part 29 engages with its shoulders 23 behind the shoulders 20 and comes to rest against the bearing surfaces 18.
  • the rounded recesses 14 and 17 enclose the cable 6 and exert a radial pressure on the two cable sheaths 12, so that the clamp 16 is fixed on the cable in the axial direction.
  • the central pin 25 penetrates the connecting material between the cable sheaths 12. The whole is then encapsulated by plastic, forming the outer jacket 7, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the flexible material of the outer jacket 7 encloses the plug sleeves 2, 3 and the cable 6 in a tight and tensile manner.
  • Another variant is to use two conventional cylindrical plug pins or flat plugs instead of plug sleeves.
