Definitions

  • the invention relates to a socket element with guide means for plugs according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Socket elements based on the Western principle - in some cases according to the IEC 603.7 standard - are available with different numbers of poles, eg 6 poles. and 8 pol., known. Together with the associated plugs, they are installed for various tasks, for example in telecommunications networks.
  • outlets with 8-pin connector elements are used as a standard in a cable network for economic reasons, although the associated subscriber terminals only need and have a 6-pin connector.
  • the mechanical design of the 8-pin connector element allows the 6-pin connector to be received and locked. There is only a lateral play due to the 2-pole narrower plug to the inner walls of the 8-pin socket element, which unsettles the contact between the plug and socket contacts during mechanical plug movement.
  • socket elements each of which fills the space on the side of the 6-pin connector to the inside walls of the socket and can be removed again when 8-pin connectors are used.
  • the inner walls of the socket elements are provided with a groove for a dovetail connection, into which elongated tongue profiles are inserted in the thickness of the space to be filled between the plug and socket side walls.
  • guide means in the form of a frame-shaped attachment mask which, for guiding the 6-pin connector, have tabs which are integrally formed and protrude into the socket element and which impart the desired guidance to the connector.
  • a disadvantage of this guide means is a relatively high production cost, combined with resilient properties of the tabs in the directions in which the plug is to be guided well.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a socket element with guide means for narrower plugs - according to the preamble of claim 1 - in such a way that no loose additional parts are required in order to properly plug 6-pin and 8-pin type mechanically and to ensure consistently good contact.
  • a particular advantage is achieved in the invention in that the guide means on both sides for lateral guidance of narrower plugs with a smaller number of poles than the socket element are integrally and resiliently formed on the receiving body or the contact insert.
  • the guide means When a narrow 6-pin connector is inserted, it is held in the desired position by the guide means. When a wide 8-pin connector is introduced, the housing will push the resiliently molded guide means downward, for example via a run-on slope, so that the connector can then be inserted as desired until it locks. After unlocking and pulling the 8-pin connector, the guide means will spring back up to the starting position.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that the guide means do not spring in a lateral direction to the sides of the receiving body, but fill the space between the outer wall of the plug and the inner wall of the receiving body with little play. This ensures that a narrow 6-pin connector is reliably guided and contact is guaranteed.
  • the guide means are integrally formed in the rear connection area of the receiving body and project freely in the direction of the insertion area.
  • economical production is made possible by inserting the guide means into the receiving body from the insertion area and connecting it to the latter.
  • the guide means are part of a contact insert.
  • This construction of the socket element enables the receptacle body and the assembly of the electrical contacts to be produced separately as relatively simple molded parts.
  • the contact insert and the receptacle body are provided with two mating guide profiles, e.g. a dovetail guide. Due to the design of the guide means as an integral part of the contact insert, they can be attached in the same position by simply inserting the contact insert into the receiving body.
  • the guide means are preferably on both sides of the contact insert at both ends via film hinge webs on the contact insert or Integral molded body. As a major advantage of this form of the guide means, they cannot be bent laterally when the plug and socket are inadvertently put together, but form a stable guide for a narrow plug.
  • the socket element 11 shown in FIG. 1 has a receiving body 12 for a series of electrical contacts 13 lying next to one another.
  • the electrical contacts 13 arranged in the receiving body 12 and on the underside of the receiving body 12 are integrally connected to one another.
  • To the side of these contacts 13 is a guide means 14; 14 'arranged in the insertion area 16 of the receiving body 12.
  • the guide means 14; 14 ' are integrally formed with one end in the rear connection area 17 and run freestanding essentially parallel to the electrical connection contacts 13 to in front of the insertion area 16 of the socket element 11.
  • the guide means 14; 14 ' have a recess at a certain distance from their front ends.
  • the guide means 14; 14 'part of a separate contact insert 18 (Fig. 4) with which it is in one piece are connected.
  • the separate contact insert 18 can be inserted into the receiving body 12 via a guide profile 22, for example a dovetail guide, whereby the position of the guide means 14; 14 'is fixed in the receiving body 12.
  • the receiving body 12 is slotted in the longitudinal direction on its underside, both edges of this slot being designed as a guide profile for the contact insert 18, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the guide profile 22 is located on the side opposite the standard connector profile.
  • the contact insert 18 is provided on its underside with the counterpart of the guide 22 and can thus be inserted into the receiving body 12 along this guide.
  • the guide means 14; 14 ' are arranged laterally on the contact insert 18 and are integrally connected to the contact insert at one of their ends. Furthermore, the guide means 14; 14 'formed of elastic material so that they can be deflected in the direction of movement indicated by 19, but still spring back into the starting position when a wide 8-pin connector 20 is pulled out of the socket element 11.
  • the cross section of the receptacle body 12 is adapted to the cross section of an 8-pin (wide) plug 20 such that it is accommodated in the receptacle body 12 with a precise fit.
  • 5 clearly shows how the wide, 8-pin connector 20 guides 14; 14 'in the direction of the guide profile 22, while, as shown in FIG. 6, the guide means 14; 14 'in the case of a narrow, 6-pin plug are not pressed down in the direction of the guide profile 22, but instead guide the plug housing 21 to the side.
  • FIG. 7 shows another form of connection of the guide means 14; 14 'shown on the contact insert 18.
  • the webs 24 ′ facing the insertion area 16 are inclined in the direction of the webs 24 and thus form run-up bevels for the plugs.
  • Fig. 7 the position of an elastic guide means 14 is also shown, which it occupies by the spring movement 19 when a wide connector 20 is inserted.
