Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for ribbon cables with an upper part made of insulating material, in which a number of parallel guide channels for contact elements are arranged with insulation displacement terminals and with a lower part made of insulating material, in which a number of parallel guide channels for contact elements are also arranged.
  • a connector is from the AMP catalog AMP Micro-Match miniature connector system MM-D / E1 05/91 "is known.
  • a two-part housing upper part is used, which consists of a middle piece for holding the insulation displacement contact elements and a cover part which can be locked with it and which is in a locked position in relation to the free ends of the insulation displacement contact elements, there is a gap for receiving the ribbon cable.
  • the cover is pressed onto the insulation displacement contact elements to make contact with the ribbon cable and is latched to the center piece in the lower part of the housing are designed as fork spring contacts and arranged at right angles to the flat knives.
  • a contact connector for Ribbon cable known, the contact housing made of one part exists and in which the contact elements in guide channels of a first locking position in which the insulation displacement terminals outside of a cross slot for the ribbon cable, are movable into a second locking position in which the Insulation displacement connectors in the cross slot for contacting the cable cores reach in.
  • this known contact connector is the height by the distance between the two locking positions extended for the insulation displacement terminals.
  • they are Insulation displacement contacts with fork spring contacts for contacting one Circuit board connected.
  • the fork spring contacts have one relatively large width, which is the division for the arrangement of the insulation displacement terminals in the contact housing enlarged.
  • DE-AS 17 65 512 is a connector with an upper housing part known from insulating material, which consists of a contact holder member and a cable press member. By doing Cable pressure elements are guide channels for contact elements Insulation displacement clamps arranged. The ribbon cable is between inserted these two construction parts.
  • the lower housing part also made of insulating material and has a number of parallel ones Guide channels for those fastened in the contact holder member Contact elements.
  • the insulation displacement contacts are in this known connector in the same plane arranged like those protruding into the lower part of the housing Pin contacts.
  • DE 36 21 223 is still a terminal block known for electrical lines, in which the insulation displacement terminals in the upper part of the housing with contact springs lying in the same plane are connected for a tongue.
  • the object of the invention is to create an easy-to-assemble plug connector for ribbon cables, in which as many contacts as possible can be accommodated and reliably contacted with one another in the smallest space.
  • a connector designed according to the invention has the one-piece insulation displacement clamps lying in the same plane and flat knives a very small pitch, down to 2.5 mm can be reduced.
  • the contact elements in the lower part of the housing as fork spring contacts in the right Angles to the flat knives can also be arranged in these the small pitch of only 2.5 mm can be maintained.
  • the contact zone in one of the upper and lower parts of the housing contact channel closed on all sides, so that the small contact elements that only overlap by approx. 2 mm are housed very protected and make reliable contact can.
  • the flat knives have at least on one narrow side a barb for one non-slip connection with the upper part of the housing.
  • the fork spring contacts too are useful with on their narrow sides Provide barbs for a non-slip connection with the To achieve lower housing part.
  • a side wall of the upper housing part at least one window and an underlying one Side wall of the lower housing part at least to arrange a locking cam.
  • the cross slot for the ribbon cable in the upper part of the housing extended at its mouth with inclined surfaces be to automatically thread the ribbon cable into to enable the cross slot. Contacting the cable wires in the ribbon cable with the insulation displacement clamps in one operation.
  • This assembly process has the advantage that the maximum height significantly compared to the prior art can be reduced because a pre-locking position for the There is no cutting clamp in the lower part of the housing.
  • the maximum overall height of the connector is only determined by the total length that of a cutting clamp and a flat knife existing contact elements after contacting the Ribbon cables must be arranged protected in the upper part of the housing have to.
  • a transverse slot 2 for a ribbon cable 3 is arranged in an upper housing part 1 made of insulating material.
  • the Cross slot 2 is penetrated by guide channels 4, in which Insulation clamps 5 are arranged in flat knife 6 continue. So that the insulation displacement clamps / flat knives 5.6 assembly and contacting in their guide channels 4 not can move more, side barbs 7 are provided, which are in the side walls or intermediate walls of the upper housing part 1 hook.
  • fork spring contacts are in guide channels 12 arranged with the solder connections 13 from the Protrude lower part 10.
  • the upper housing part 1 and the lower housing part 10 are inserted into one another and form between the intersecting guide channels 4 and 11 a continuous contact channel 14, in which the contact between the flat blades 6 and the fork springs 12 takes place.
  • solder connections 13 of adjacent fork spring contacts 12 are alternately arranged on different sides to larger ones To create gaps between which soldering is possible is.
  • the assembly of a connector designed according to the invention takes place in such a way that the ribbon cable 3 is inserted into the transverse slot 2.
  • the Transverse slot 2 provided at its mouth with inclined surfaces 19.
  • the insulation displacement clamps 5 or flat knives 6 in their Guide channels 4 introduced and in one operation with the Cable cores of the ribbon cable 3 contacted.
  • the lower housing parts 10 are separated from the upper housing parts 1 equipped with the fork spring contacts 12. After that you can then the upper housing parts 1 of pre-assembled cable harnesses the lower housing parts 10 inserted and completed in this way Cable harnesses are placed on the market.
