Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector for connecting insulated electrical conductors, preferably an electrical connector, with contact elements arranged in recesses or chambers of a carrier body / insulating body, the contact elements being provided at least at one end with an insulation displacement connection for connecting a conductor are, and wherein the conductors in the axial direction - based on the longitudinal extent of the contact elements or the chambers - are guided into the connector.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing an electrical connector of the type mentioned in such a way that the insulation displacement connection of the contact element can be made as simple as possible, the contact element being thus inexpensive to manufacture as a mass article, and that the axially inserted conductors are as possible can be easily but securely pressed into the insulation displacement connection, with reliable contacting with the contact element being to be ensured.
  • the electrical conductors can be pressed into the insulation displacement connections of the contact elements by means of a pressure part, that the pressure part is designed as a conductor guide element and can be enclosed in the conductors with axially aligned guide bores with respect to the contact elements of the connector are provided that the guide bores open into recesses arranged on the underside of the conductor guide element, that the end of the guide bores merge into deflection bevels for the inserted conductors, that on the sides of the recesses opposite the deflection bevels a further deflection bevel is arranged, these deflection bevels in seen in the axial direction, offset from the first deflection bevels that the conductor guide element is provided with approaches that can be inserted into the chambers of the insulating body with the contact elements arranged therein, and that e in the stop on the conductor guide part, which on one edge of the insulating body with sufficient insertion to the system arrives, the insertion depth of the conductor guide element or limited
  • FIG. 5 shows a modified design of the connector. It is provided that the conductor guide element 4 is connected to the carrier body 1 in a preassembled position. This preassembled position of the conductor guide element is shown in FIG. 5, wherein in this position conductors 11 inserted into the guide bores hit the stop surface 19 (upper side of the carrier body 1) towards the end of the conductor insertion process. As a result of the conductors hitting, the user can easily see that the conductors have been pushed in far enough.
  • the conductor connection element is shifted in the direction of arrow X until the lugs 17 are above or in front of the contact chamber openings and are pushed into the contact chambers in the axial direction when pressure is applied to the conductor guide element.
  • the electrical connection of the conductors to the contact elements or their insulation displacement connections 7 then takes place again as already described further above, and after the connection has been made, the position of the parts also corresponds to the illustration shown in FIG. 4 in this modified assembly arrangement of the plug connector.
  • FIG. 6 shows a contact chamber 2 with a modified contact element 3 'and with a modified guiding element 4'.
  • the conductor guide element is provided with peg-shaped projections 20, through which the guide bores 9 'extend.
  • the cross section of the approaches corresponds to that Cross-section of the contact chambers 2 in their upper area, so that the lugs can be inserted into the contact chambers.
  • the axially into the conductor guide element guide holes 9 extend towards the end of the approaches at approximately an angle of 45 °, so that a conductor inserted into the hole is guided obliquely through the respective approach before it finally emerges laterally from the approach.
  • a transverse slot 21 in the lugs 20 enables the insulation displacement connections 7 'of the contact elements to be immersed when the carrier body 1 and the conductor guide element 4' are pressed together, the conductors being pressed into the insulation displacement connections and the electrical connection when the extensions are inserted between conductors and contact elements.
  • locking means (not shown here) bring together the support body and conductor guide element after the connection of the conductors.
  • FIG. 7 A further modification of the conductor guide element described above is shown in FIG. 7. It is provided here that the guide bores 9 ′′ are introduced into the conductor guide element 4 ′′ at an angle of approximately 45 ° and run straight through the extension 20 ′.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 Another modification of the connector shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 in partial section in a contact chamber 2.
  • the conductor guide element 4 ''' is also provided with a peg-shaped extension 20'', which, however, is provided at the end with an inclined surface 22, so that a tip 23 is formed thereon.
  • the guide bores 9 ''' are aligned exactly axially to the direction of the contact elements 3'', and the end 24 of the insulation displacement connections 7''is slight bent up so that the tip 23 can reach behind the insulation displacement connection 7 ′′ of the contact elements 3 ′′.
