Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector with a housing made of insulating material with at least one contact chamber for an insertable contact element and with a locking device made of insulating material for the contact element, which is designed as a transversely to the plugging direction movable slide, the contact element in a pre-locking position of the locking device its contact chamber can be inserted, while when the locking device is moved into a final latching position, the contact element is locked by transverse movement of the slide.
- Connectors of this type are already on the market.
- the locking device of the known connector is used as a secondary fuse, while the primary fuse of the contact element inserted into the contact chamber is mostly realized by means of locking tongues projecting from the contact element. Due to the increasingly compact design of the connectors, the space for secondary fuses is becoming increasingly cramped, so that there is no more installation space for most existing solutions. For this reason in particular, secondary fuses designed as cross slides have recently become increasingly important.
- the housing and the locking device are designed as separately manufactured individual parts, so that the slide has to be inserted into the housing in a separate, complex assembly process. With this assembly to be carried out by hand, care must be taken to ensure that the slide is inserted into the housing in the correct position and cannot be lost.
- the production of individual parts does not only involve complex assembly, but also can also adversely affect the quality of the connector due to unfavorably adding tolerances.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of simplifying the assembly of the housing and locking device in a connector of the type mentioned, avoiding tolerance problems and reducing the manufacturing costs.
- the housing and the locking device consist of thermoplastic material of the same or different properties and are produced in multi-component injection molding technology, the housing being injection-molded directly onto the slide.
- the contact elements 7 can each be inserted into the contact chambers 1, 2 from bottom to top. Contact elements 7 that are not fully locked are on Blockage of the secondary fuse can be clearly identified. In cases where the contact is still very far before its intended end position, the secondary fuse does not block. In this case, the contact element 7 protrudes downward from the contact chamber 1, 2 so far that the faulty assembly can be clearly recognized.
- the slide 3 can be overmolded to form a housing 4 using at least one placeholder core in such a way that the slide side pointing in the slide direction borders on the contact chamber 1, 2 which is empty in this respect.
- the housing 4 and the locking device can consist of thermoplastics with different properties.
- the manufacture of these two components according to the invention in two-component injection molding technology can be realized by first spraying the slide 3 and then overmolding the housing 4, ie the two components housing and locking device are molded in succession in one and the same injection molding machine.
- the slide 3 is inserted into a cavity forming a mold cavity, so that the housing 4 is sprayed directly onto the slide 3 and is thus attached directly to the slide 3 in the mold by the injection process itself. Since the housing 4 with the slide 3 located therein can thus be removed as a single part and already connected to one another from the injection mold and stored together, simpler logistics and storage of these elements is achieved. There are no longer any tolerance problems between the two components, so that greater functional reliability is achieved. A major advantage is also that incorrect assembly of the Locking device forming slide 3 is now excluded from the outset and the joint manufacturing process ensures that the slide 3 is correctly positioned in the housing 4.
- thermoplastic for the various components and still manufacture the connector using multi-component injection molding technology.
- the theoretical danger of a softening of a previously sprayed component can be countered by adapting the spraying parameters and injection cycle times accordingly, so that the individual components can be molded one after the other and molded onto one another without the components sticking together.
- the advantage of this solution is that the connector is manufactured and assembled in one injection molding process and consists of one and the same plastic. This not only improves the manufacturability, but also the recyclability of the connector.
- the height of the slide 3 can be designed differently. For reasons of stability, it may be advisable to add the locking edge 5 shown in FIG. 1 for the primary securing of the contact elements to the slide 3.
- the contact element 7 then has at least one locking tongue 8 projecting in the direction of the arrow, and the sliding side pointing in the connecting direction forms a locking edge 5 for this locking tongue, such that the inserted contact element 7 is primarily secured in each slide position. Since the contact elements 7 are still unloaded when inserted and with play in the contact chamber 1, 2, moving the primary locking edge 5 under the locking tongues 8 is unproblematic.
- the actual secondary securing of the locking device shown in Fig. 1 in the pre-locking position comes about in that in the area of the opposite A laterally protruding securing element 6 is formed in the insertion direction of the slider end, which engages behind the contour of the contact element 7 in the locking position of the slider 3.
- This process is again illustrated in FIGS. 2A and B, the securing elements 6 being shown hatched. If the contact element is not pushed in far enough, the secondary securing element 6 abuts the contour of the contact element and blocks the slide 3.
- the contact element can only be dismantled due to the secondary securing element after the secondary securing element has been loosened, that is to say pushed back into the locked position. Subsequent dismantled contact elements are thus kept primary and secondary with the same security as the first assembled contact elements.
