Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector with the following features: a) a housing made of insulating material with an underside for the passage of plug pins, with an upper side opposite the underside and with an open end face between the upper and lower sides, b) between the upper and lower sides Contact elements are arranged, which form plug-in elements directed towards the underside and can be connected to the top with lines, c) the lines are led out of the housing in a line outlet channel in the area of the top side and the front side, d) the open front side of the housing is except for the line outlet channel covered with a closure plate.
  • Such a connector is known from DE-GM 91 03 107 and DE-GM 92 07 881.
  • the line outlet channel is formed by a guide element protruding in an extension of the upper side on the open end face of the housing and an underlying clamping bracket of the closure plate which runs in the same direction.
  • the outgoing lines are thus led out of the housing perpendicularly to the direction of insertion of the connector through the mentioned line outlet channel.
  • the * cable outlet therefore has a fixed angle of 90 ° to the direction of insertion. It is the same with such connectors It is known to arrange the cable outlet channel at an angle to the plug direction, so that the cable outlet has a fixed angle of, for example, 45 ° to the plug direction.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a plug connector of the type mentioned at the outset with a line outlet which is largely variable in angle.
  • the line outlet channel is formed by a recess on the upper side of the housing and thus displaced into the housing, that is to say shortened.
  • the lines can be bent into different angles with a sufficiently large bending radius. This results in a variable output at an angle of approximately 90 °, for example from a horizontal position to approximately a vertical position upwards, ie in the direction of insertion.
  • the cable outlet can be freely varied over a wide angular range.
  • the line outlet can thereby be provided within the scope of the partial opening of the housing Possibilities can be adapted to the different installation conditions.
  • Connectors of the type mentioned are often designed to lock the housing with another connector with a locking bracket, which in its locking position prevents unauthorized operation e.g. is protected by a seal.
  • the housing of the known plug connectors is provided with eyelets which protrude from both side walls and are arranged in the region of the open end face and the line outlet channel and which cooperate with lateral eyelets of the latching bracket.
  • such a positioning possibility is achieved in that a hole is provided in at least one side wall of the housing and is arranged in such a way that it is in the locked position on the housing for locking with the housing other connector provided locking bracket with one in the
  • Locking bracket provided hole covers.
  • the sealing eyelets are shifted to the top of the connector housing and the locking bracket. In this way, the connector width can be reduced by approximately 5 mm compared to the known connectors.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of a connector housing, Fig. 2, the connector housing in plan view and Fig. 3, the connector housing in perspective.
  • the connector housing 1 is made of insulating material and has an underside la, an upper side lb opposite the underside and a front open end side lc between the underside and the upper side.
  • a contact carrier 16, which contains a number of contact elements, can be inserted on this open end face of the housing 1. This can be, for example, a one-part or two-part socket strip.
  • the contact elements form plug elements directed towards the underside, for example contact sockets, into which plug pins of a counterpart, for example a pin strip, are inserted.
  • the contact elements can be connected in a known manner, for example by means of an IDC connection, to the ends of the lines of a line bundle 2 shown in broken lines in FIG. 3.
  • the initially open end face 1c is partially covered by a closure plate 3, the lines 2 in the region of the top side 1b and the end face lc being led out of the housing in a line outlet channel 4 .
  • a latching bracket 5 which is pivotably mounted, for example, on the connector housing 1 serving here as a socket housing and in the locking position (FIG. 1, 2) by a spring-loaded latching element 17 is secured at the top lb.
  • the line outlet channel 4 is formed here between the closure plate 3 and the upper side 1b of the housing 1 in that the upper side of the housing is provided with a recess 6 which is open towards the open end face 1c and whose width B is between the side walls 7 and 8 of the Housing corresponds approximately to the width of the line bundle 2 and here from the rear side wall 7 to the front side wall 8, that is over the entire width of the top lb, extends.
  • the depth T of the recess 6 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the line bundle 2.
  • the width B of the recess 6 is between the side walls 7, 8 laterally by means of web-like extensions 9, 10 of the side walls which are raised above the top 1b and in depth T. bounded by a cross bar 11 connecting these extensions and raised on the upper side 1b.
  • the line outlet channel 4 is delimited by the closure plate 3, the height of which is approximately equal to 2/3 of the height H of the end lc.
  • the line outlet can thus take place at a variable angle of approximately 90 °, if necessary over the upper edge of the closure plate 3 on the one hand and over the crossbar 11 on the other hand even in a larger angular range.
  • the line outlet channel is integrated into the housing, so that the outer dimensions of the housing 1 are thereby also reduced.
  • a hole 12 is provided in at least one side wall 8 of the housing 1 for sealing the locking position of the locking bracket 5 when the socket and pin strip are plugged together, and is arranged so that it coincides with a hole 13 provided in the locking position of the locking bracket 5 .
  • the hole 12 is expediently arranged in an extension 14 of the web-like extension 10 of the front side wall 8 of the housing 1 that extends beyond the end of the recess 6, while the hole 13 is located in an upper corner region of the front bracket arm 15.

Abstract

Le passage de câble (4) est formé par un évidement (6) ouvert à l'avant (1c) du boîtier de connecteur (1) et sur le dessus (1b) du boîtier, de sorte qu'un passage de câble raccourci et intégré au boîtier permet un départ de ligne variable sur une plage angulaire d'environ 90°.
