Definitions

  • the invention relates to a codable connector with a plug-in part and a socket with a plug-in opening, in particular for communication technology, wherein a coding plate is provided at the plug-in opening, which has a recess with at least one protrusion, and at least one with the protrusion on the plug-in part Coding plate cooperating recess is provided.
  • a coding plate is provided with a substantially rectangular opening for coding the socket.
  • Protrusions are formed in the corner regions of the opening of the coding plate, one of these protrusions extending into the opening over a greater distance than the other three protrusions and acting as a coding element.
  • the end face of the socket is provided with protruding pins, onto which the coding plate can be plugged with the grooves formed between the projections.
  • the arrangement is symmetrical to at least one longitudinal plane of the socket, so that the coding plate can be attached in four different positions.
  • the projection acting as a coding element can thus optionally be arranged in front of each of the four corner regions of the plug opening of the socket.
  • the plug in return has at least one recess arranged along an edge of its plug-in part. The plug can be inserted through the plug opening of the socket if and only if the projection acting as a coding element and the recess are arranged in the same corners of the respective element.
  • a lockable connector in which coding bars are provided for subsequent coding of the socket.
  • the socket has openings associated with the position of the recesses of the plug part of the plug, into which openings the coding latches can optionally be inserted and locked.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve a connector of the type mentioned above and to simplify its handling.
  • the coding plate is a thin metal plate which can be placed on the end wall of the socket provided with the plug opening.
  • the socket can thus be used either with or without a coding plate, without the corresponding plug having to be changed due to changing insertion depth.
  • a holding device for attaching the coding plate.
  • the coding plate is thus fixed and captive on the socket by means of the holding device.
  • the holding device comprises a bracket projecting in the region of the plug opening on the end face of the socket, one on the opposite side of the Plug opening effective spring catch as well as two stops running parallel to the other two sides of the plug opening.
  • the coding plate can thus be loaded by the spring catch into the projecting bracket, the lateral seat being secured by the stops.
  • the holding device thus allows simple and quick assembly of the coding plate.
  • the coding plate can also be removed just as easily and quickly, for example to be reinserted in a different orientation of its coding-effective projection.
  • a further embodiment provides a shielding housing made of conductive material that surrounds at least the side walls of the socket. Such a design ensures full shielding of the socket including the end face of the socket.
  • the coding plate is in contact with the shielding housing. Particularly good shielding is thereby achieved.
  • the holding device for the coding plate is formed on the shielding housing, so that the coding plate is in contact with the shielding housing via the holding device.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the coding plate is arranged between the socket and the shield housing.
  • the coding plate is accordingly placed on the end face of the socket and held in place by the subsequent shielding housing which at least partially covers the end face of the socket.
  • the coding plate is formed in one piece with the shielding housing. This results in a particularly simple assembly of the coding plate, since only the shielding housing is rotated by 90 ° in each case must be pushed over the socket in order to obtain a corresponding coding of the socket.
  • Fig. 1 shows a socket (10) and an attachable to this coding plate according to the invention (1), which is designed as a thin metal plate.
  • the socket (10) is preferably made of plastic and has a plug opening (12) on one end face for receiving a plug that is designed to fit. Corresponding plugs are described below with reference to the further Figures 2 to 5.
  • a shielding housing (21, 22) made of a conductive material is arranged around the bushing (10) and is constructed in particular from thin sheet metal walls which abut the outer sides of the bushing (10).
  • the shielding housing (21, 22) in the exemplary embodiment shown is in three parts and comprises two individual shielding plates (22) (of which only in the illustration in FIG. 1) one is visible) and an essentially U-shaped angled plate (21).
  • the two individual shielding plates (22) are fastened to two opposite lateral outer walls of the bushing (10) by being clipped onto a horizontal web-like projection (19) of these outer walls with an incision (29).
  • the angled plate (21) is shaped so that it can be placed on the end of the bushing (10) and this comes to rest on the other two outer walls and the end wall of the bushing (10).
  • the angled sheet (21) has an opening corresponding to the plug-in opening (12) of the bushing (10) on its section abutting the end wall.
  • the angled plate (21) has clip-like projections (26) which extend around the edge of the socket and surround the adjacent shielding plates (22) at their edges. As a result, the shield housing (21, 22) is firmly seated and contact is made between all parts of the shield housing.
  • the plug opening (12) is substantially rectangular with inner walls (15, 16, 17, 18), with recesses being provided on the inner wall (16) which serve to receive a projection and a locking tab of the plug formed on this projection.
  • the opening in the angled plate (21) is shaped corresponding to the plug-in opening (12) of the socket (10) and, when the angled plate (21) is slid correctly onto the socket (10), is essentially congruent with the plug-in opening (12) .
  • a cantilevered bracket (24) pointing towards the insertion opening (12) is formed on the angled plate (21).
  • a spring catch (23) is formed in the form of a tab, which extends by approximately the height of the coding plate (1) above the horizontal upper edge of the outer wall protrudes, and the end of which is angled towards the plug-in opening (12) and extends shortly before the edge of the inner wall (15).
  • angularly projecting stops (25) are formed on the edges of the angled sheet (21).
  • the coding plate (1) is an essentially rectangular sheet metal plate with a recess (2).
  • the recess (2) is also essentially rectangular with the edges (5, 6, 7, 8), a projection (3) being provided in the corner region between the edges (5 and 8). Furthermore, a hole as a marking (4) is made in the coding plate (1) in the area of the projection (3).
  • the dimensions of the coding plate (1) are selected so that their outer edges (7 ', 8') come to rest against the stops (25), while their outer edges (5 ', 6') fit exactly between the spring catch ( 23) and the cantilevered bracket (24) of the angled plate (21) fits.
  • the coding plate (1) To insert the coding plate (1), slide it with one of the outer edges (5 'or 6') under the angled end of the spring catch (23), while with the outer edges (7 ', 8') perpendicular to it, push it against the stops ( 25) is of concern. Then the coding plate (1) is moved against the spring loading of the spring catch (23) until it can be pushed with its opposite outer edge under the cantilevered bracket (24). The coding plate (1) is then held in its position by the action of the spring catch (23).
  • the coding plate (1) would therefore be pushed with its outer edge (5 ') under the spring catch (23) in order to be inserted into the projecting bracket (24) with its opposite outer edge (6') with the two outer edges running perpendicular to it (7 ', 8') come to rest on the stops (25).
  • the coding-effective projection (3) then comes to lie in the front corner region of the plug opening (12) of the socket (10) facing the viewer.
  • the marking (4) designed as a hole shows immediately in which corner of the plug opening the coding is effective.
  • a connector (30) according to the invention is shown, which has a housing with a plug-in part (31) which is substantially rectangular and is provided on its underside with a rectangular projection (35) to which a protrudes obliquely downwards elastic tab (36) adjoins.
  • the plug-in part (31) On its upper side, the plug-in part (31) has contact knives (33) in the region of its end face.
  • the plug (30) is provided with recesses (32) running along the longitudinal edges of the plug part (31), the length of which corresponds to the insertion length for the plug (30).
  • the recesses (32) are delimited to the end face of the plug-in part (31) by projecting coding pins (34).
  • the plug (30) can be coded by breaking out one or more coding pins (34), so that it can only be inserted into a correspondingly coded socket (10).
  • the coding of the plug (30) is an irreversible coding, since the coding pins (34), once they have broken out, cannot be used again.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a plug (40) according to the invention with a plug-in part (41), in which the coding is reversible, that is to say can subsequently be changed again.
  • the plug-in part (41) of the plug (40) again has a projection formed underneath the plug-in part (41) with a tab, on the latter Presentation has been omitted for reasons of clarity.
  • essentially cuboid coding pins (44) are provided, which are firmly inserted into recesses provided at the front end of the recesses (42).
  • the coding pins (44) can optionally be removed by simply pulling them out, as indicated by the arrow, as a result of which the associated recess (42) is exposed in a coding-effective manner. If the coding of the plug-in part (41) is to be changed again later, the removed coding pins can be reinserted into the corresponding recess.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of a plug (50) according to the invention is shown in FIG. 4.
  • the plug (50) in turn has a housing with a plug-in part (51) and contact blades (53) arranged on the end of the plug-in part (51).
  • the Recess parts (51) are again provided with recesses (52).
  • Recesses (52) lying one above the other are connected to one another on the end face by a vertical recess.
  • the vertical recesses are connected to each other by a horizontal groove.
  • An essentially H-shaped plug element (55) can be inserted into this horizontal groove, the vertical webs of which come to lie in the vertical cutouts and the ends of which, as coding pins (54), close the recesses (52) of the plug part (51).
  • individual coding pins (54) of the plug element (50) can either be broken off or bent over. If the coding is to be changed again later, a new plug-in element (55) can be inserted and coded again by removing individual ends accordingly. If the coding pins can be bent, they can be bent back to change the coding.
  • FIG. 5 A further embodiment of a reversibly codable plug is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the plug-in part (61) of the plug (60) is essentially covered by a shield (67) which extends along the side surfaces of the plug-in part (61) up to its end face.
  • the front ends (68) of the shield (67) are angled and embrace the edge of the front side of the plug part (61).
  • projections are provided on the angled end (68) which come to lie in front of the recesses (62) and serve as coding pins (64).
  • the plug (60) can be coded by selectively bending individual coding pins (64). To change the coding, bent coding pins (64) can be bent back.
  • coding plates can be provided which have coding-effective projections at more than one corner region of their opening.
