Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug connector with a socket that can be inserted into and connected to a socket housing according to DIN 41 612 and a plug that can be inserted into and connected to a plug housing, in particular for pluggable printed circuit boards, the socket having a contact section receiving the plug and a locking section. via which the socket can be connected to the socket housing.
  • the housing of such connectors is in DIN 41 612 and the socket or the plug that can be inserted into the housing are in of DIN 41 626.
  • Such connectors are used, for example, for pluggable circuit boards, with one part of the connector on the circuit board and the other part of the connector being provided, for example, in a housing which accommodates the circuit board.
  • These connectors ensure perfect contact even after a large number of plugging operations, so that the circuit board can be reliably contacted with the other components.
  • such connectors allow very large tolerances on the one hand for the plug connection on the other hand for the printed circuit board. In the event of repairs, when the circuit board is replaced by another, it can be easily inserted even with slight dimensional deviations.
  • the connectors described above in particular their housings, can be strung together to form connector strips, which is particularly advantageous for use on printed circuit boards.
  • These connectors can also be used as high-current connectors.
  • one of the plugs of a plug connector can be designed as an earth pin, so that the circuit board is already grounded before the contact is made.
  • longer pins provided in a connector strip can simplify the insertion of the printed circuit boards, since these longer pins then serve as guide pins. It has turned out to be disadvantageous that the sockets according to DIN 41 626 cannot be combined with longer plugs, since the insertion depth of the plug into these sockets is limited.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a plug connector of the type mentioned at the outset with greater possible uses.
  • the locking section of the socket has an outer diameter substantially corresponding to the outer diameter of the contact section and that at least one projection is provided on the outer surface of the locking section.
  • the socket of the connector according to the invention Has locking section which has the same or substantially the same outer diameter as the contact section, the opening receiving the plug, which was previously only provided in the contact section, can be extended rearwards in the direction of the locking section.
  • the outside diameter of the locking section is thus designed in such a way that a sufficiently large wall thickness is still present even with an extended opening. In this way, plugs with larger pin lengths can be connected to this socket.
  • this socket is not connected to the housing via a detent spring as in the prior art, one or more projections, advantageously four projections arranged uniformly distributed over the circumference, are provided for this purpose, via which the socket is locked to the housing.
  • the bushing according to the invention no longer has a detent spring as before, so that it is made up of one component less than the known bushings.
  • Both short and long pins can now be used with the plug connector according to the invention, the long pins having any length and being able to be used as earth pins or guide pins. If the longer pins are used as guide pins, they are usually located at the two ends of a connector strip.
  • the projection of the bushing is in the form of a latch which engages behind a rib projecting radially inwards in the housing or as a nose educated.
  • This nose or bolt is relatively easy to manufacture in terms of production technology by providing the bush with a circumferential collar which is then interrupted in accordance with the number of bolts or noses. All that remains of this collar are the latches on the outer surface of the socket, which then project above the outer surface of the socket with the height of the collar.
  • the housing has a plurality of ribs projecting radially inwards, which are engaged by a corresponding number of projections of the bush when it is inserted into the housing and is twisted in a bayonet-like manner.
  • the socket can be locked in a bayonet-like manner in the socket housing. Via the projections of the socket and the ribs of the housing, the socket can be easily inserted into the housing and then rotated slightly, as a result of which the socket is fixed and locked in the housing. In this way, the socket is detachably connected to the socket housing. No tools are required for inserting or removing the socket from the housing.
  • the socket and / or the plug preferably have a printed circuit board connection which is seated on the end opposite the contact section and, in particular, is pressed on, clamped or the like.
  • a printed circuit board connection which is seated on the end opposite the contact section and, in particular, is pressed on, clamped or the like.
  • This PCB connector can both the socket or the plug and its housing, with which they are locked or locked, can be attached to a printed circuit board.
  • the socket is designed for connecting electrical cables, coaxial cables or light guide cables.
  • the opening of the socket receiving the plug is designed as a through opening. In this way e.g. a light guide can be led freely from the rear end of the socket.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a plug 1 designed as a pin. This plug 1 can be inserted into a plug housing (not shown) and fixed there by means of a washer 2 and a screw 3. Other mounting options are conceivable.
  • FIG. 2 shows a socket 4 as is known from the prior art, DIN 41 626.
  • This socket 4 has a contact section 5 and a locking section 6.
  • the contact section 5 serves to receive a plug, whereas the socket 4 can be locked in a socket housing 7 (FIGS. 7 to 9) via the locking section 6.
  • a detent spring 8 is used, which engages and is held in a locking manner when the socket 4 is inserted into the socket housing 7, as is known from DIN 41 612, in a recess 11 formed from ribs 9, 10 (FIG. 8).
  • the locking section 6 of the socket 4 is designed with a tapered diameter, so that the detent spring 8 can be clipped on.
  • the diameter of the tapered locking section 6 corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of the contact section 5.
  • the socket 4 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is suitable for receiving plugs with a maximum length, which corresponds to the depth of the opening of the contact section 5. If longer plugs 1 are to be connected to socket 4 in accordance with DIN 41 626, these plugs 1 cannot be fully inserted into socket 4. An expansion of the opening of the contact section 5 in the direction of the locking section 6 is not possible, since the tapered diameter of the locking section 6 prevents drilling, as can easily be seen in FIG. 3. So only short connector 1 can be added.
  • the socket 4 to 6 show an embodiment of the socket 4 according to the invention.
  • This also has a contact section 5 and a locking section 6.
  • the outer diameter of the locking section 6 is substantially the same size as that of the contact section 5, so that the opening of the contact section 5 in the direction of the locking section 6, ie in the direction of the rear end of the socket 4, can be extended. It can also be inserted into this socket 4, plug 1 with a greater length (see. Fig. 1). This is possible because the opening of the contact section 5 extends beyond the locking section 6 and is designed as a through opening 12.
  • the locking section 6 has 8 projections 13, via which the bushing 4 can be locked with the bushing housing 7.
  • the socket 4 is provided with a collar 14 which acts as a stop for one in FIG. 6 PCB connector 15 shown is used.
  • the locking section 6 has a total of four projections 13 arranged uniformly distributed over the circumference, which have a spacing A from one another which essentially corresponds to the width of a rib 9 (FIG. 8). Furthermore, the width of a projection 13 corresponds essentially to the distance B between two ribs 9. In addition, the distance C of the projections 13 from the collar 14 corresponds essentially to the axial length of the ribs 9. This ensures that the socket 4 enters the socket housing 7 from behind can be inserted according to DIN 41 612 and locked by twisting.
  • the projections 13 slide between the ribs 9 into the region of the recess 11 and are pivoted behind the ribs 9 by the rotation. The locking takes place in that the ribs 9 come to rest between the collar 14 and the projections 13. Furthermore, it can be seen that the projections 13 are slightly beveled on the side facing the contact section 5, whereby insertion of the socket 4 into the socket housing 7 is facilitated.
  • the use of the socket 4 in the socket housing 7 is shown in detail.
  • the bushing 4 as can be seen from FIG. 10, is rotated by 45 ° relative to the later position of use so that the projections 13 are aligned with the grooves 16 located between the ribs 9.
  • the socket 4 is then inserted until the circuit board connector 15 or its front end on Housing approach 17 of the socket housing 7 is present. This also corresponds to a system of the federal government 14 on the housing attachment 14. In this position, the projections 13 engage behind the ribs 9, but are still aligned with the groove 16.
  • the angle by which the bushing 4 has to be pivoted is approximately 180 ° divided by the number of the projections 13.
  • socket housings 7 according to DIN 41 612 can still be used, which are equipped with the socket 4 according to the invention.
  • the usual plugs according to DIN 41 626 can be used, but plugs 1 according to FIG. 1 with excess length can also be used.
