  • the invention is therefore based on the object of simplifying accessibility to the electrical connector of the generic connection unit.
  • the plug connector is preferably formed in one piece with the clamping contact elements and arranged on the rear side of the access cover.
  • the terminal contact elements for connecting lines for example for telephone extensions, can be reached very easily by opening the access cover.
  • the frame has on its front behind the removable access cover a receptacle that is open to the front for inserting the opened access cover that is folded forward by approximately 120 °.
  • the removed access cover is held in an inclined plane, so that the operator has both hands free for connecting the lines to the terminal contact elements of the connector.
  • the contact elements of the connector are in the form of insulation displacement contact elements which extend with their contacts into the socket, with additional terminal contacts being arranged in a chamber in the connector in order to provide an easily detachable electrical connection between the component unit and the connector to be able to manufacture with the socket.
  • separating contact elements are provided instead of the clamping contacts in the additional chamber of the connector, in order to enable measurement or testing options, error detection or to disconnect the connection by inserting a disconnecting plug.
  • Figures 1 to 5 show the first embodiment of the connection unit made of a molded plastic frame 1 with its front part 2 and with a detachable access cover 3, which is attached to the front part 2 by means of screws 4 and which has an insertion opening 5, which has access to a connector 12 with a socket 6 for receiving a phone jack, not shown.
  • the front part 2 can be mounted together with its frame 1 in a conventional housing or flush with a building wall.
  • FIG. 2 shows the front part 2 with the access cover 3 removed, which is shown rotated in FIG. 3, so that the rear side thereof can be seen.
  • the front part 2 comprises two lateral, spaced-apart console parts 7, each of which carries an upstanding threaded attachment 9, which is provided with an internal thread, so that the screws 4 for fastening the access cover 3 can be screwed into the threaded attachments 9.
  • each bracket part 7 has a molded receptacle 11 directed towards the lower side of the front part 2, the use of which will be described later.
  • the frame 1 of the front part 2 has box-like frame parts 8, which are molded in one piece with the frame 1 from plastic.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the plug connector 12 is arranged on the back of the access cover 3 provided with an edge strip 10, which can also be removed by a telephone subscriber.
  • the plug connector 12 consists of a molded plastic housing 21 which is provided with contact slots 13, in each of which insulation displacement contact elements (IDC contacts) are arranged, as is described in more detail in EP 0.445.376 A1.
  • the connector 12 also includes a lead frame 14 which includes a plurality of elongated metallic contacts 15 in grooves 18 formed in the lead frame 14 of the connector 12. The contacts 15 extend from one side of the socket 6, which receives the telephone jack plug, not shown, to the opposite side of the connector 12, so that they can contact other components that will be described.
  • FIGS. 2, 4 and 5 show that the upper part 16 of the front part 2 carries on its rear side a component unit 17 which is shown in more detail in FIGS. 7 and 8 and which is formed from a molded plastic housing 22 and has grooves 28 in the lower section for receiving contact fingers 19, which are in contact with the contacts 15 in the grooves 18 of the guide frame 14 of the connector 12.
  • the molded plastic housing 22 is also provided with a chamber 20 for receiving further electronic components, in particular a capacitor and resistor unit.
  • the molded plastic housing 22 includes a space 23 for a gas discharge tube 24 and above this there are connecting elements 25 for connection to the ends of the communication wiring, which can be designed as screw connectors or IDC contacts.
  • FIG. 8 shows that the leads 27 of the contact fingers 19 of the component unit 17 extend from the lower part upwards within compression-molded channels 26 and end in the connecting elements 25. At intermediate positions, feed lines of the contact fingers 19 branch off, which are in contact with the capacitor and resistance unit arranged in the chamber 20 and with the gas discharge tube 24.
  • the rear of the front part 2 is molded as a frame part 8 and forms connecting parts which connect correspondingly shaped parts of the housing 22 of the component unit 17, the component unit 17 having a snap connection to the rear of the front part 2.
  • the connector 12 is attached to the back of the access cover 3 for the participants.
  • This type of arrangement is a particularly effective modular arrangement and construction, which can be assembled and disassembled extremely easily, for example in the event of a fault.
  • the removable access cover 3 accessible to the participant can be positioned on the front part 2 in the manner shown in FIG.
  • the access cover 3 is arranged such that this in lower region of the front part 2 is held in the molded receptacle 11, the edge strip 10 guided into the receptacle 11 being clamped between the wall parts delimiting the receptacle 11 at the top and bottom.
  • the access cover 3 is received in an arrangement in which the participant does not have to hold the access cover 3 manually and has both hands free to connect the wiring to the insulation displacement contact elements (IDC contacts) of the connector 12.
  • IDC contacts insulation displacement contact elements
  • FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the connection unit, in which the connecting elements 25, which accommodate the wiring, are accessible from the front after the removal of a second access cover 29, which forms the upper part of the front part 2 (FIG. 1).
  • the removal of this second access cover 29 exposes the gas discharge tube 24 and consequently enables an engineer to access it without removing the entire front part 2. This is advantageous since the engineer consequently has both hands free to carry out his work.
