Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein System von Lampenfassungen für Leuchtstofflampen mit einem aus Isolierstoff bestehenden Fassungsgehäuse, das eine von einem Verschlußkörper abdeckbare Einsatzöffnung für Lampen-Kontakte und Leiter-Anschlußklemmen aufweist und wobei die Lampenfassung bedarfsweise mit einer als Ansatzkörper ausgebildeten Starterfassung zu einer kombinierten Lampen-Starter-Fassung erweiterbar ist.The invention relates to a system of Lamp holders for fluorescent lamps with an insulating material Socket housing, the one of a closure body coverable insert opening for lamp contacts and conductor terminals has and wherein the lamp holder if necessary with a trained as a neck body Starter version for a combined lamp-starter version is expandable.

Lampenfassungen sind in der Regel als sogenannte "Durchsteckfassungen" ausgeführt, die, wie es die Bezeichnung zum Ausdruck bringt, von der Rückseite eines Fassungsträgers her (z.B. eines Leuchtenblechs) durch einen darin befindlichen Ausschnitt bis in eine Endraststellung durchgeschoben werden. Fassungen solcher Art werden bezüglich des Fassungsgehäuses in zwei wesentlichen Bauhöhen gefertigt, und zwar in Abhängigkeit vom standardisierten Leuchtstofflampen-Durchmesser 26 mm oder 38 mm mit entsprechendem Abstand zwischen der Lampenachse und dem Fassungsträger, der sogenannten "Brennpunkthöhe". Gängig sind hier Brennpunkthöhen von 22,5 mm und von 30 mm. Zusätzlich zu einfachen Lampenfassungen gibt es auch solche, die mit einer zusätzlichen Starterfassung kombiniert sind.Lamp holders are usually considered so-called "push-through sockets" executed, which, like it expresses the label from the back a socket holder (e.g. a lamp plate) through a cutout inside be pushed into a final stop position. versions of this kind with respect to the socket housing manufactured in two essential heights, namely in Dependence on the standardized fluorescent lamp diameter 26 mm or 38 mm with the appropriate distance between the lamp axis and the holder, the so-called "focal height". Focal heights are common here of 22.5 mm and 30 mm. In addition to There are also simple lamp holders that come with an additional start version are combined.

Bei herkömmlicher Bauweise sind die Fassungsgehäuse von Lampenfassung und Starterfassung einstückig zusammengespritzt. Deshalb sind für diese insgesamt vier Fassungstypen einer Baureihe. (Lampenfassung für Brennpunkthöhe 22,5 mm, Lampenfassung für Brennpunkthöhe 30 mm, kombinierte Lampen-Starter-Fassung für Brennpunkthöhe 22,5 mm und kombinierte Lampen-Starter-Fassung für Brennpunkthöhe 30 mm) zahlreiche aufwendige Spritzgießwerkzeuge erforderlich. Die einzelnen Typen der Baureihe werden auch in sehr unterschiedlichen Stückzahlen benötigt, was die Fertigungsplanung und Lagerhaltung zusätzlich erschwert.With conventional construction, the socket housing of lamp holder and starter holder in one piece molded together. Therefore, for this overall four frame types of a series. (Lamp holder for Focal point height 22.5 mm, lamp holder for focal point height 30 mm, combined lamp starter socket for Focal point height 22.5 mm and combined lamp starter socket for focal point height 30 mm) numerous complex Injection molds required. The individual types the series are also available in very different Quantity needs what manufacturing planning and Warehousing additionally difficult.

Die Nachteile einer solchen werkzeugintensiven Typenbaureihe sind bereits erkannt worden. So ist eine Lampenfassung der eingangs geschilderten Art bekannt, bei der die Starterfassung als an die Lampenfassung ansteckbarer Ansatzkörper ausgebildet ist. Vom Grundgedanken her reduziert sich dadurch der Werkzeugaufwand, weil die Starterfassung als separates Bauteil unabhängig von der Brennpunkthöhe der Lampenfassung vorgefertigt und bei Bedarf mit der entsprechenden Lampenfassung gekuppelt werden kann. Auch die Lagerhaltung wird dadurch verbessert.The disadvantages of such a tool-intensive Type series have already been recognized. So is one Known lamp holder of the type described above, where the starter socket as on the lamp socket attachable neck body is formed. from The basic idea is thereby reduced Tool expense because the start entry as a separate Component regardless of the focal height of the lamp holder prefabricated and if necessary with the appropriate Lamp holder can be coupled. Also the This improves warehousing.

Die konkret vorbekannte Ausführungsform kennzeichnet sich hinsichtlich des Aufbaus der Lampenfassung dadurch, daß die Fassungsgehäuse-Rückwand den Verschlußkörper ausbildet. Deshalb sind für Lampenfassungen unterschiedlicher Brennpunkthöhe immer noch vier Werkzeuge erforderlich, nämlich zwei Werkzeuge für das Fassungsgehäuse und zwei Werkzeuge für die entsprechend unterschiedlich hohen Verschlußkörper-Rückwände. The specific previously known embodiment characterizes regarding the structure of the lamp holder in that the socket housing rear wall the closure body formed. That is why for lamp holders four different focal heights Tools required, namely two tools for the Socket housing and two tools for the corresponding different heights of the closure body rear walls.

Des weiteren ist aus der DE 2 330 097 A eine Lampenfassung für Leuchtstofflampen bekannt. Hier ist vorgesehen, eine Starterfassung mittels einer Lasche, die an einem Ende U-förmig ist, mit der Lampenfassung zu verbinden. Hierfür sind zwei Schenkel der Lasche in Nuten an der Fassung einschiebbar. Hinsichtlich einer Einsatzöffnung oder eines Verschlußkörpers läßt sich dieser Schrift nichts entnehmen. Insbesondere ist hieraus keine als Bodenöffnung ausgebildete Einsatzöffnung bekannt, die von einem Verschlußkörper verschlossen wird.Furthermore, DE 2 330 097 A Lamp holder for fluorescent lamps known. Here is provided a starting survey by means of a tab that is U-shaped at one end, to connect with the lamp holder. There are two for this Legs of the tab in grooves on the socket insertable. Regarding an insert opening or of a breech block this writing is nothing remove. In particular, none of this is considered as Bottom opening trained opening known is closed by a closure body.

Eine weitere Lampenfassung ist aus der US 2 280 747 A bekannt. Die dort dargestellte Lampenfassung ist ausschließlich in Verbindung mit einer Starterfassung beschrieben. Es handelt sich um eine Kombination von Lampenfassung und Starterfassung, und nicht um eine Lampenfassung, die zu einer kombinierten Lampen-Starterfassung erweiterbar ist. Die Kontakte werden bei der dort beschriebenen Fassung offensichtlich von der Breitseite der Lampenfassung her in deren Innenraum eingesetzt, wie sich bereits aus der L-Form der Kontakte ergibt. Insbesondere ist auch hier die Einsatzöffnung nicht als Bodenöffnung des Fassungsgehäuses ausgebildet und von einem Verschlußkörper verschlossen. Another lamp holder is known from US 2 280 747 A. These Lamp holder shown is only in Connection described with a start version. It is a combination of lamp holder and Startup socket, and not a lamp socket, too a combined lamp start holder can be expanded is. The contacts are described in the there Version obviously from the broadside of the Lamp holder used in their interior, such as already results from the L-shape of the contacts. In particular, the insert opening is not as here either Bottom opening of the socket housing formed and by closed a closure body.

Hier setzt die Erfindung ein. Ihre Aufgabe ist es vordringlich, ein System verfügbar zu machen, dessen Baukastensystem im Hinblick auf die Einsparung an Fertigungswerkzeugen und kostengünstiger Lagerhaltung weiter optimiert ist.This is where the invention comes in. It is your job urgently to make a system available whose Modular system in terms of saving Manufacturing tools and inexpensive warehousing is further optimized.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Anspruch 1 angegeben. Demnach ist ein System von Lampenfassungen für Leuchtstofflampen vorgesehen,

  • a) mit einem aus Isolierstoff bestehenden Fassungsgehäuse, das eine Einsatzöffnung für Lampen-Kontakte und Leiter-Anschlußklemmen aufweist, wobei die Einsatzöffnung als Bodenöffnung des ansonsten einstückigen Fassungsgehäuses ausgebildet ist,
  • b) mit einem Verschlußkörper zum Verschließen der Einsatzöffnung
  • c) und mit einer Starterfassung, die als Ansatzkörper ausgebildet ist, wobei ein Verschlußstück mit gleichem Fassungsgehäuse-Anschlußmaßen zum Verschließen des Einsatzöffnung an die Starterfassung werkstoffeinheitlich stoffschlüssig angeformt ist und den Ansatzkörper ausbildet.
  • The solution to this problem is specified in claim 1. Accordingly, a system of lamp holders for fluorescent lamps is provided,
  • a) with a socket housing consisting of insulating material, which has an insert opening for lamp contacts and conductor connecting terminals, the insert opening being designed as a bottom opening of the otherwise one-piece socket housing,
  • b) with a closure body for closing the insert opening
  • c) and with a starter socket, which is designed as a neck body, wherein a closure piece with the same socket housing connection dimensions for closing the insert opening on the starter socket is integrally formed on the material and forms the neck body.
  • Die an sich bekannte Bauform einer Lampenfassung mit einem die Bodenöffnung des Fassungsgehäuses abdeckenden Verschlußkörper macht sich die Erfindung nun in vorteilhafter und geschickter Weise zunutze, um den Ansatzkörper mit dem Verschlußkörper zu einem mit dem Fassungsgehäuse kuppelbaren Bauelement auszubilden. Anders als beim Stand der Technik, ist hier also der Verschlußkörper nicht auf seine Ursprungsfunktion des Abdeckens einer Fassungsgehäuse-Öffnung beschränkt, sondern im Falle einer kombinierten Lampen-Starter-Fassung zugleich Träger der Starterfassung. Da der Verschlußkörper die Bodenöffnung des Fassungsgehäuses abdeckt, also auf den Querschnitt des Fassungsgehäuses (und nicht wie die vorbekannte Abdeck-Rückwand auf dessen variierende Bauhöhe) abgestimmt ist, der sich mit unterschiedlichen Bauhöhen des Fassungsgehäuses nicht ändert, kann auf diese einfache Weise die Teile- und Werkzeugvielfalt weiter verringert werden. Jetzt sind nur noch zwei Werkzeuge für die unterschiedlich hohen Fassungsgehäuse, ein Werkzeug für den "einfachen" Verschlußkörper sowie ein viertes Werkzeug für den aus Verschlußkörper und Starterfassung bestehenden Ansatzkörper erforderlich. The known design of a lamp holder with a the bottom opening of the socket housing covering closure body makes the invention now in an advantageous and skillful way to the neck body with the closure body to one with to form the mountable coupling component. Unlike the state of the art, here is the one Breech body not on its original function of Limited coverage of a socket housing opening, but in the case of a combined lamp starter socket at the same time bearer of the start registration. Because the closure body the bottom opening of the socket housing covers, i.e. on the cross section of the socket housing (and not like the previously known cover rear wall on its varying height) is coordinated with different heights of the socket housing not changes, the parts and Tool variety can be further reduced. Now are only two tools for the different heights Socket housing, a tool for the "simple" closure body as well as a fourth tool for the Breech body and start detection existing neck body required.

    Eine noch weitergehende Vereinfachung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik kann geschaffen werden, wenn entsprechend einem weiteren Erfindungsmerkmal die Starterfassung mit dem Verschlußkörper, also der Ansatzkörper, als einstückiges und einteiliges Spritzgießbauteil ausgebildet ist mit seitlich offenen Einlegeöffnungen, die, von Rippen oder Wandungsteilen des Isolierkörpers der Starterfassung begrenzt, die Kontakte berührungssicher im Isolierkörper aufnehmen. Demgegenüber ist bei dem in Bezug genommenen Stand der Technik auch bei der Starterfassung noch ein zusätzliches, wenngleich relativ einfaches Werkzeug erforderlich, nämlich zum Spritzen eines plattenartigen Bodenteiles als Verschlußkörpe-r für das zum Einlegen der Kontakte bodenoffenen Starter-Fassungsgehäuse.A further simplification compared to the prior art can be created if appropriate Another feature of the invention, the start detection with the closure body, i.e. the neck body, formed as a one-piece and one-piece injection molding component is with laterally open insertion openings, the, of ribs or wall parts of the insulating body the start detection limited, the contacts safe to touch take up in the insulating body. In contrast, at the referenced prior art also at Start-up recording an additional, albeit relative simple tool required, namely for spraying a plate-like bottom part as a closure body for the open to insert the contacts Starter socket housing.

    Schließlich ergibt sich eine nochmalige Vereinfachung dadurch, daß entsprechend einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung die direkte Verbindungsleitung zwischen einem Kontakt der Starterfassung und dem ihm stromlaufsystematisch zugeordneten Lampenkontakt von einem vorgebogenen Runddraht ausgebildet ist, der mit einem Überstand aus dem Verschlußkörper vorragt und der beim Anstecken des Verschlußkörpers an das Fassungsgehäuse einen Stecker zum unmittelbaren Steckanschluß an die betreffende Leiter-Anschlußklemme ausbildet. Die Vereinfachung besteht hier also darin, diese direkte Verbindungsleitung nicht mehr aus einem Blechstreifen auszustanzen, zu verkröpfen, und zu biegen, sondern einen einfachen Draht zu verwenden, im Idealfall einen Draht, der hinsichtlich seines Durchmessers dem eines anzuschließenden Leiters entspricht. Ein sich daraus ergebende weitere Vorteil besteht auch darin, daß die Kontaktierung beim Einstecken des steckerartigen Überstandes in die lampenfassungsseitige Kontakt-Anschlußklemme derjenigen entspricht, wie sie beim Einstecken eines elektrischen Leiters vorliegt.Finally, there is a further simplification in that according to another characteristic the invention, the direct connection between a contact of the start detection and the current systematic assigned lamp contact from a pre-bent Round wire is formed with a Protrusion protrudes from the closure body and the Attach the closure body to the socket housing a plug for direct plug connection to the trains the relevant conductor terminal. The simplification So here is this direct connecting line no longer punching out of a metal strip, to crank out and bend but one to use simple wire, ideally a wire, the diameter of that of one to be connected Conductor corresponds. A resulting one Another advantage is that the contact when inserting the plug-like protrusion in the lamp socket-side contact terminal corresponds to the one when inserting one electrical conductor is present.

    Jede Lampenfassung 10 weist ein aus Isolierstoff bestehendes Fassungsgehäuse 10' bzw. 10" auf. Zur Unterscheidung ist mit 10' das höhere Fassungsgehäuse für 30 mm Brennpunkthöhe und mit 10" das Fassungsgehäuse für die kleinere Brennpunkthöhe von 22,5 mm bezeichnet.Each lamp holder 10 has an insulating material existing socket housing 10 'or 10 "on The difference is with 10 'the higher socket housing for 30 mm focal height and with 10 "the socket housing for the smaller focal height of 22.5 mm designated.

    In jedem Fassungsgehäuse 10', 10" sind Lampenkontakte 11 und Leiter-Anschlußklemmen 12 angeordnet. Die beiden Kontakte 11/12 einer Lampenfassung 10 sind jeweils identisch und werden spiegelbildlich zueinander eingebaut. Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bestehen, wie an sich üblich, jeweils ein Lampenkontakt 11 und eine schraubenlose Leiter-Anschlußklemme 12 aus einem einstückigen, aus einem Blechstreifen geformten Kontakt-Bauteil 11/12. Das Fassungsgehäuse 10 weist an seinem in den Zeichnungen nicht sichtbaren Bodenabschnitt eine großquerschnittige Öffnung auf, durch die von unten her die Kontakt-Bauteile 11/12 in den Innenraum des Fassungsgehäuses 10' bzw. 10" eingebracht werden können. Ist dies geschehen, wird die Bodenöffnung des Fassungsgehäuses 10 mittels eines eingesetzten Verschlußkörpers 15 verschlossen. Dieser Verschlußkörper 15 rastet in die Bodenöffnung ein, kann aber auch mit Hilfe von Klebstoff oder Ultraschallverscheißung befestigt werden. Er beinhaltet Durchstecköffnungen 16, mit jeweils paariger Anordnung, zum Durchstecken von Leitern, damit deren abisolierte Enden mit den dahinter in dem Fassungsgehäuse 10 befindlichen Leiter-Anschlußklemmen kontaktieren können. There are lamp contacts in each socket housing 10 ', 10 " 11 and conductor terminals 12 arranged. The are two contacts 11/12 of a lamp holder 10 each identical and are mirror images of each other built-in. In the illustrated embodiment consist, as usual, of a lamp contact 11 and a screwless conductor terminal 12 a one-piece, formed from a sheet metal strip Contact component 11/12. The socket housing 10 instructs its bottom section not visible in the drawings a large cross-sectional opening through which from below the contact components 11/12 into the interior of the socket housing 10 'or 10 "are introduced can. When this is done, the bottom opening the socket housing 10 by means of an inserted closure body 15 closed. This closure body 15 snaps into the bottom opening, but can also be used Attached with the help of glue or ultrasonic welding become. It contains push-through openings 16, with in pairs, for pushing through conductors, so that their stripped ends with the behind in the socket housing 10 located conductor terminals can contact.

    Als sogenannte 'Rotorfassungen' umfassen die Lampenfassungen jeweils noch einen Rotor 13, der von der Frontseite des Fassungsgehäuses 10', 10" her auf Haltezapfen 14 aufgerastet, die auf der Innenfläche der Fassungsgehäuse-Rückwand angeformt sind.The lamp sockets comprise the so-called 'rotor sockets' each have a rotor 13 which of the Front of the socket housing 10 ', 10 "ago on retaining pin 14 snapped onto the inner surface of the socket housing rear wall are molded.

    Aus diesen bislang genannten Bauteilen bestehen die Lampenfassungen, wie sie in den Fig. 3 und 5 dargestellt sind, und die sich lediglich durch die unterschiedlich hohen Fassungsgehäuse 10' und 10" unterscheiden.Consist of these components mentioned so far the lamp sockets, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 are, and which differ only by the high socket housing 10 'and 10 "distinguish.

    Zur Verwendung einer Leuchtstofflampenfassung als kombinierte Lampen-Starter-Fassung ist ein Ansatzkörper 17 vorgesehen, der in werkstoffeinheitlich-stoffschlüssiger Zuordnung ein (gegenüber dem einfachen Verschlußkörper 15 modifizierten) Verschlußstück 15' und die eigentliche Starterfassung 18 aufweist. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist am Fassungsgehäuse 19 der Starterfassung 18 noch eine auslegerartige Brücke 20 angeformt, und zwar in ähnlicher Weise wie beim bekannten Stand der Technik, denn dieser Ausleger ist erforderlich, um die Starterfassung mit einem für die Aufnahme des Starters hinreichendem Abstand hinter bzw. unter dem Fassungsträger wie Leuchtenblech zu halten. (Nur die Lampenfassung wird durch den Fassungsträgerausschnitt gesteckt und daran mittels Rastorganen 27 wiederlösbar befestigt.)To use a fluorescent lamp holder as Combined lamp starter socket is a neck body 17 provided, the in material-uniformly cohesive Assignment one (compared to the simple closure body 15 modified) closure piece 15 'and has the actual start detection 18. In the embodiment is on the socket housing 19 of the starter socket 18 a bracket-like bridge 20 is formed, in a similar way to the known one State of the art, because this boom is required around the starting capture with one for recording of the starter sufficient distance behind or below to hold the holder like a light plate. (Just the lamp holder is through the holder cutout inserted and detachable thereon by means of locking members 27 attached.)

    Die Besonderheit der dargestellten und beschriebenen Ausführung besteht darin, daß das mit der Starterfassung 18 einstückig verbundene Verschlußstück 15' bei Bedarf den "einfachen" Verschlußkörper 15 ersetzt, so daß mit denselben Fassungsgehäusen 10 auf einfache Weise kombinierte Lampen-Starter-Fassungen erhältlich sind, also eine Kombinationsfassung nach Fig. 4 für eine Lampenhöhe von 30 mm bzw. nach Fig. 6 für eine Lampenhöhe von 22,5 mm, wobei die Fassungsgehäuse der Fig. 3 und 4 einerseits und der Fig. 5 und 6 andererseits untereinander identisch sind.The peculiarity of the illustrated and described Execution is that with the start entry 18 integrally connected closure piece 15 ' Need the "simple" closure body 15 replaced so that with the same socket housing 10 in a simple manner combined lamp-starter sockets are available, thus a combination socket according to FIG. 4 for a lamp height of 30 mm or according to FIG. 6 for a lamp height of 22.5 mm, the socket housing of FIGS. 3 and 4 on the one hand and FIGS. 5 and 6 on the other hand are identical.

    Die Kontaktelemente für die Starterfassung 18 bestehen aus einem Starterkontakt mit einer schraubenlosen Anschlußklemme 21 und einer aus Runddraht geformten Verbindungsleitung 22 mit dem zweiten Starterkontakt. Um die Kontakte 21 und 22 in den Isolierkörper der Starterfassung 18 einbringen zu können, ist diese - und auch die Brücke 20 - mit nach außen offenen Einlegeöffnungen 23, 24 versehen. Diese sind von Wandungsteilen 25 begrenzt, insbesondere derart geschützt, daß die Kontakte 21 und 22 berührungssicher in dem Isolierkörper aufgenommen sind, ohne daß gesonderte Verschlußdeckel od. dgl. erforderlich sind.The contact elements for the start detection 18 consist of a starter contact with a screwless Terminal 21 and a round wire formed Connection line 22 with the second starter contact. To the contacts 21 and 22 in the insulating body to be able to introduce the start version 18, this is - and also the bridge 20 - with insertion openings open to the outside 23, 24 provided. These are from wall parts 25 limited, especially protected in such a way that the contacts 21 and 22 safe to touch in the insulating body are included without the need for a separate cover or the like are required.

    Wie ein Vergleich der Fig. 1 mit der Fig. 2 zeigt, weist das Verschlußstück 15' nur noch zwei Leitereinstecköffnungen 16 auf, während auf der anderen Seite einer Quermittelebene solche Öffnungen fehlen. Das rührt daher, weil hier eine direkte Verbindung zwischen einem Kontakt der Starterfassung und einem Lampenfassungs-Kontakt hergestellt wird und zwar vorteilhafterweise dadurch, daß das dem Fassungsgehäuse 10 zugewandte Ende der Verbindungsleitung 22 als Überstand 26 derart vorragt, daß diese Überstand 26 einen Stecker zum unmittelbaren Einstecken in die elektrisch zugeordnete Leiteranschlußklemme 12 des Kontakts 11/12 dient, sobald der Ansatzkörper 17 über sein Verschlußstück 15' mit dem Fassungsgehäuse 10 steckverbunden wird.As a comparison of FIG. 1 with FIG. 2 shows, the closure piece 15 'only has two conductor insertion openings 16 on while on the other side such openings are missing on a transverse median plane. The This is because there is a direct connection between a contact of the starter socket and a lamp socket contact is produced and advantageously in that the socket housing 10 facing End of the connecting line 22 as a protrusion 26 protrudes such that this protrusion 26 a connector for direct insertion into the electrically assigned Conductor terminal 12 of contact 11/12 is used as soon as the attachment body 17 via its closure piece 15 ' is plugged into the socket housing 10.

    Die Figuren 3 bis 6 zeigen sämtliche Bauteile, die ein jeweiliger Fassungstyp der Typenreihe aufweist. Um zu verdeutlichen, welche Teile überhaupt nur gefertigt werden müssen, sind diese mit durchgezogenen Linien dargestellt, die anderen, mehrfach verwendbaren, mit strichpunktierten Linien. Demnach beschränken sich die Bauteile insgesamt auf: 1 Fassungsgehäuse 10' für 30 mm Brennpunkthöhe 1 Fassungsgehäuse 10" für 22,5 mm Brennpunkthöhe 1 Verschlußkörper 15 1 Verschlußstück 15' in körperlicher Vereinigung mit der Starterfassung 18 2 kurze Kontaktstücke 11/12 für Fassungsgehäuse 10' 2 lange Kontaktstücke 11/12 für Fassungsgehäuse 10" 1 Kontakt 21 1 Kontakt bzw. Drahtverbinder 22 1 Rotor 13 (optional, sofern Rotorfassungstyp) Figures 3 to 6 show all the components that have a respective socket type of the type series. In order to clarify which parts only have to be manufactured, they are shown with solid lines, the other, reusable, with dash-dotted lines. Accordingly, the components are limited to: 1 Socket housing 10 'for 30 mm focal height 1 Socket housing 10 "for 22.5 mm focal height 1 Lock body 15 1 Closure piece 15 'in physical association with the start detection 18th 2 short contacts 11/12 for socket housing 10 ' 2 long contacts 11/12 for socket housing 10 " 1 Contact 21 1 Contact or wire connector 22 1 Rotor 13 (optional, if rotor socket type)
