Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug for electrical connection with a plurality of insulated wire ends, comprising a prism-like housing which has a flat side aligned parallel to the plugging direction and which consists of an inner part and an outer part, the inner part in the outer part in the manner of a drawer in the direction of the Insertable direction, which outer part has a plurality of transverse slots in the front area in the plug-in direction from the flat side, which inner part contains a bottom side facing the flat side and a plurality of closely adjacent channels, which are at least approximately parallel to one another and to the flat side, for wire ends which can be inserted therein
  • Inner part has a front end face in the direction of insertion and a rear end face arranged at a distance therefrom, as well as two side faces opposite one another and projecting transversely to the bottom side, the distance between the end faces Achen is smaller than the length of the outer part seen in the direction of insertion, each cross slot of the outer part being aligned with one of the channels if the inner part is
  • the inner part is known as the WESTERN plug (because it was first marketed by the company WESTERNELECTRIC.)
  • WESTERNELECTRIC The particular advantage of this plug is that the wire ends and their insulation can be inserted into the channels.
  • the contact blades which are of course still withdrawn from the channels, are then pressed into the wire ends fixed in the channels with a simple pressing tool. They cut through the insulation and make contact with the copper souls.
  • the contact lamellae form the contacts of the plug with their edge surfaces which are approximately flush with the flat side.
  • the wire ends In order for the contact between the contact lamella and the copper core to be reliable, the wire ends must be held in the channels with as little play as possible.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a connector of the generic type which avoids assembly errors and in which there is the possibility of providing a larger variation in usable wire diameters.
  • the inner part in the front portion in the plug-in direction has cross-slit portions pointing to the bottom side, each of which is aligned with a transverse slit of the outer part when the inner part is arranged in the outer part in that two narrow webs protrude from the rear end face and extend backwards. whose outer sides are each aligned with the side surfaces and that locking cams are formed on the webs, which can be snapped into corresponding locking recesses in the outer part in the inserted state.
  • the inner part is supported to a greater length in the outer part despite its reduced length, because these webs are guided in it over the remaining length of the outer part.
  • the length of the webs is fixed in such a way that their rear ends lie outside the outer part when the inner part is arranged in the outer part. In order to you can release the lock if necessary without special tools. You can also quickly see the exact insertion position.
  • the plug is very flat if the center axes of adjacent channels are arranged in a common plane that is parallel to the flat side.
  • the maximum permissible wire diameter is then limited by the available width of the inner part and the number of wire ends to be distributed on it.
  • the plug consists of an outer part 15 of generally prismatic shape and a flat, likewise prismatic inner part 16.
  • the outer part has a front wall 18 in the insertion direction according to arrow 17, and a rear wall 19 opposite in parallel.
  • a spring clip 25 stands up from the top wall 23 and serves to lock the plug in a socket (not particularly shown here).
  • the lower wall 24 is stepped in the side view of FIG. 1, so that a wall section 26 extends from the rear wall 19 and lies lower than a flat side 27 which adjoins the front wall 18.
  • the rear and middle part of the outer part is covered by a metal shield 28.
  • the outer shape of the outer part 15 corresponds to that of a commercially available WESTERN plug, at least essentially and therefore does not need to be explained in more detail.
  • a chamber 29 open to the rear wall 19, the shape of which can best be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the chamber is also approximately prismatic and is divided into a front part 32 and a rear, further part 32, which is intended to receive a cable end with its shield exposed there and to fix it in a known manner.
  • the front part 31 has a lower inner wall 33 which is aligned parallel to the flat side 27.
  • the inner part 16 corresponds in its dimensions and shape to the front part 31 of the chamber 29 and can be moved from the rear wall 19 in a direction parallel to the flat side 27 in the manner of a drawer insert this part 31 with little play.
  • the inner part 16 has a front end face 34 and a rear, stepped end face 35, the distance between them corresponding to approximately half the length of the outer part.
  • it has two opposite parallel side surfaces 36 and 37, as well as a bottom side 40, which in the inserted state rests on the lower inner wall 33 of the front part 31 of the chamber 29.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 clearly show, two lateral narrow webs 38 and 39 protrude rearward from the rear end face 35, the outer sides of which are in each case flush with the side faces 36, 37.
  • the height of the webs 38, 39 in the side view according to FIG. 1 or 6 corresponds to the height of the rear part 32 of the chamber 29, so that the webs are guided therein with little play and offer the inner part 16 an additional support.
  • downwardly projecting locking cams 42 are also formed, which engage in correspondingly designed locking recesses 43 (FIG. 4) in the rear part 32 of the chamber 29 when the inner part 16 is fully inserted into the chamber 29 of the outer part is.
  • the length of the webs 38, 39 is dimensioned so that their rear ends 44 are still a few millimeters outside of the outer part 15.
  • the inner part 16 contains a predetermined number (usually eight) of channels 45 which are parallel to one another.
  • the center axes of the channels 45 extend at least approximately parallel to the bottom side 40 and lie in a common plane 46 parallel to them
  • a transverse slot section 47 opens out from each channel 45 and aligns with a transverse slot 48 (FIGS. 2 and 4) arranged in a corresponding position in the outer part 15.
  • the transverse slots 48 each have a plate-like shape Contact lamella 49 exactly in the manner of the known connector too.
  • the channels 45 and transverse slot sections 47 are formed continuously up to the front end face 34, which enables a cheaper injection molding tool.
  • a cable 51 is indicated with dashed lines in FIG. 8, the exposed shield 52 of which lies in the space between the webs 38, 39.
  • the wire ends 53 emerging from the sheathed shield 52 have insulating jackets which are marked in different colors and it is the task of the installer to insert certain wire ends into respective channels 45.
  • a color mark 54 can be applied to the bottom side 40 of each channel. For example in the form of an embossed letter code.
  • the fanned-out wire ends 53 are inserted into the channels 45 with the outer part 15 removed, so that the position of the channels 45 can be seen clearly.
  • the outer part 15 is pushed over the inner part 16 until the locking cams 42 snap into the locking recesses 43.
  • the cable end with the exposed shield 52 is pressed into the rear part 32 of the chamber 29 and metal parts of the metal shield 28 protruding from there are contacted.
  • the contact blades 49 are then pressed into the channels 45 by means of a pliers-like tool, so that they cut through the insulation of the wire ends 53 and contact the wires in each case. Their outer edge surfaces 55 then form the contacts of the plug.
  • inner parts 16 with channels 45 of different widths are used. Since the transverse distance between the contact blades 49 is fixed, different thicknesses remain between the channels 45 Partition walls are available, depending on the cross-sectional diameter of the channels. The upper diameter limit is reached when the partitions are reduced to sectors and the wire ends are practically directly adjacent to each other. A further increase in the wire diameter is then possible in the case of channels 56 and 57, which are alternately offset in terms of height, as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the channels 56 lie in a common plane 58 and the channels 57 in another common plane 59, which is closer to the bottom side 40.
  • the center axes of adjacent channels 56 and 57 are thus arranged in two different planes 58, 59, each parallel to the bottom side 40 (and thus ultimately to the flat side 27).
