Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector housing, consisting of a connector housing and a row device arranged on the outside of the connector housing for serial connection of at least one further connector housing designed with a similarly shaped row device and at least one housing chamber belonging to the connector housing for receiving an insertable, optionally snap-in electrical contact element.
  • Such a connector housing is known for example from the document DE-GM 91 00 441. It is provided in particular for a plug-in coupling, the plug connector housing having at least one essentially cuboid body molded from plastic a housing chamber for receiving electrical contact elements formed from stamped sheet metal parts. On the outside of the connector housing, the connector housing has a row device for snapping or clipping connector housings of the same design in parallel to form a stack-like connector housing package.

  • the stack-like connector housing package is achieved in that the individual connector housings are clipped together one above the other on the webs.
  • the contact elements which may be snapped into place in the housing chambers of the stack-like connector housing package, are to be secured by an additional locking device.
  • the connector housing package is therefore subsequently inserted into an outer housing with an inner bar which serves as a lock for the contact elements, this outer housing is also intended to give the connector housing package stability.
  • the surrounding housing including the locking bar With the use of the surrounding housing including the locking bar, the connector housing package represents a costly and material-intensive solution.
