  • the one essentially rectangular single housing having individual plugs inserted in brackets open in the longitudinal direction on both sides or inserted. Due to a positive connection between the bracket and the appropriately trained individual housing the single plug becomes the single plug in the holder in the longitudinal direction fixed.
  • the individual plugs have grooves that are aligned with one another in which a foldable web of the otherwise one-piece holder intervenes to ensure axial fixation.
  • the holder is included specially shaped chambers, on the shape of which the outer contour the individual housing of the individual plug is adapted.
  • the holder points a hinged lid. When the cover is open, the individual plugs are can be inserted into the chambers of the holder from above.
  • the individual connectors succeed to connect to a uniformly manageable plug arrangement, which can be inserted into a uniform counterpart.
  • DE 38 07 645 A1 has the holder pointing in the direction of insertion Tab on that with a corresponding recess in the counterpart interacts to produce an anti-rotation device.
  • the connector arrangement is locked in the counterpart by Locking grooves formed on the contact pins of the connector assembly are and with corresponding locking elements in the counterpart work together.
  • the Single plug - according to the placement of the associated body electrodes on the body - certain different colors receive.
  • the individual connector housings must be different colored materials are made, which is natural increases the manufacturing effort.
  • the problem underlying the invention is the effort in the production and / or storage of the To reduce connector arrangements of the type mentioned.
  • the individual housing of each individual plug is of a cylindrical, is surrounded in cross-section rectangular sleeve that on an insertion end face is open and in an end wall on the opposite side an opening for the passage of the has at least one contact pin of the single plug.
  • the sleeve on the individual housing of the associated single plug can be snapped on, for example by in one side of the jacket a recess is provided into which a locking projection of the single plug is snapped.
  • each individual housing carries a sleeve, let the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known connector arrangements reduce significantly.
  • the sleeves are preferably on the individual housings of the individual plugs snap on.
  • the sleeve can expediently in have a recess in a lateral surface into which a locking projection the single plug is snapped.
  • the locking projection is preferably designed in the manner of a barb to a to ensure a secure connection.
  • the recess can be formed by a window into which at the same time engage a locking means of the holder from the outside can.
  • the wall of the sleeve is preferably in the region of the Window so graded that the window area is larger from the outside than the window area used for the snap connection to the single plug from the inside.
  • the individual housings of the individual plugs and the inner contour matched to them the sleeve can have any shape, for example also round or oval or polygonal in cross-section be preferred, however, a rectangular cross section is preferred the single plug and the inner contour of the sleeves.
  • the connector arrangement according to the invention is preferred for individual connectors with two contact pins and single housings with one rectangular cross section with large and small shell sides used.
  • the recess of the sleeve is preferably located on a small jacket side. In this case it is advantageous the single plugs with the large sheathed sides in to design a holder to be insertable.
  • Figure 1 shows a single connector 1 with a rectangular housing 2 with large lateral surfaces 3 and small lateral surfaces 4 and two Contact pins 5.
  • the individual housing 2 is at the end of a Cable 6, with which the single connector 1 is connected.
  • Figure 1 a shows a view of the single plug on the large Shell surface 3
  • Figure 1 b a view of a small shell surface 4th
  • Figure 1 c shows a view of the free end face of the single plug 1 and thus reveals the shape of the two contact pins 5, one of which has a round cross-section according to the AAMI standard and the other has a square cross section.
  • Figure 2 shows several views of a sleeve 8, which is a rectangular Has cross section and is open on an end face 9.
  • the sleeve has through openings on the opposite end face 10 11, whose shape is the shape of the contact pins 5 is adjusted.
  • the sleeve 8 also consists of large lateral surfaces 12 and small lateral surfaces 13, wherein Figure 2 a) is a view on a large lateral surface and Figure 2 b) a view shows a small surface area.
  • the small lateral surface 13 on which the view according to Figure 2 b) is directed, has a window-like through opening 14, the size of the size of the Locking projection 7 of the individual housing 2 is adapted.
  • To the outside the through opening 14 is stepped and forms an outer Window area 15, which is larger than the inward facing window area formed by the through opening 14.
  • Figure 2 a) and the views of Figure 2 c) on the front side 10 and according to Figure 2 d) on the front side 9 illustrate that the sleeve 8 on a small lateral surface 13 that is not with the Through opening 14 is provided towards the end face 9 has projection 16 formed by a step.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates in an enlarged and sectional representation, that the through opening 14 is stepped outwards and has a larger window area to the outside.
  • Figure 4 shows three views of the single plug 1 with the snapped on Sleeve 8.
  • the position of the contact pins 5 defines one insertion direction pointing to the free end of the contacts 5 and clarifies, that the projection 16 of the sleeve 8 in the direction of insertion lies behind.
  • the enlarged detail shown in FIG. 5 shows that the locking projection 7 of the connector housing 2 only up to Gradation is in the through hole 14, so not in the Area of the enlarged window surface 15 protrudes.
  • the locking projection 7 prevents the accidental pulling out of the Single plug 1 from the sleeve 8.
  • the further insertion movement of the single plug 1 in the sleeve 8 is through with the through holes 11 provided, otherwise closed end wall 10 prevented.
  • Figure 6 illustrates that in the illustrated embodiment five single plugs 1 with their single plug housings 2 into one compact block can be put together in which the individual housing 2 with the snap-on sleeves 8 with the large lateral surfaces 12 lie next to each other and put together in alignment.
  • the holder 17 consists of a bottom 18, two side walls 19 and a cover web 20 hinged to a side wall 19, the one with a latch 21 in a recess 22 in the other Side wall 19 can be locked in the closed state of the cover 20 is.
  • the holder is open on the two end walls 23, 24.
  • the articulation of the cover 20 on the side wall 19 is by a toothed formation of the two parts and insertion of a hinge pin 25 takes place.
