Definitions
- the present invention is based on a connector part designed according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Such a plug-in connection part connected to an electrical line is provided in order to enable an electrically conductive, releasable connection to a downstream electrical unit, in particular via a mating plug-in connection part connected to a further electrical line.
- the locking member held between an unlocking and locking position on the insulating housing is brought into its unlocking position by a sliding movement to be carried out parallel to the direction of insertion from the plug side.
- the locking part is provisionally in the unlocked position on the locking elements cooperating with each other on the locking part and on the insulating housing Insulated housing.
- the chambers of the insulating material housing can be equipped with plug contact elements or the plug contact elements can be removed from their chambers in a simple manner.
- it In order to transfer the locking part from the unlocking position into the locking position, it must be pushed onto the plug-in area of the insulating material housing by a further amount parallel to the plug-in direction.
- the electrical plug contact element are then unlocked in their chambers.
- the locking part because of the corresponding movement sequence for reaching the unlocking and locking position, the locking part has already been brought into its locking position unconsciously or unintentionally, although the assembly with plug-in contact elements is still outstanding or has not yet been fully completed is. If this is noticed too late, an annoying and time-consuming unlocking process and a new assembly process are necessary for correct assembly. For the same reason, it can also happen that a connector part that has not yet been correctly fitted can be coupled to a mating connector part, even though the locking part was originally in its unlocking position during the coupling process. Because through the coupling process, the locking part can also be moved from its unlocked position into its locked position without being noticed.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a plug-in connection part with a locking part which, starting from the unlocking position, can only be brought into its locking position by a deliberately controlled movement sequence and in which at the same time a possibility of coupling the plug-in connection part with its mating connector part is effectively prevented, the locking part is in its unlocked position.
- the object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.
- An advantage of such a design is that the locking part can be constructed in one piece and can also be equipped with coding elements, so that the plug connection part can only be coupled with correspondingly designed mating plug contact parts that are actually provided for a connection.
- Fig. 1 is a connector part in full section
- Fig. 2 shows a connector part.
- Fig. 3 shows a connector part.
- such a plug-in connection part essentially consists of an insulating housing 1, the chambers 2 of which are provided for receiving plug-in contact elements 3 and on whose plug-in area 4 a sealing element 5 is stationary and a locking part 6 is held displaceably between an unlocking and locking position.
- the insulating housing 1 has five continuous chambers 2 arranged next to one another in a row, each of the five chambers 2 for receiving one
- Plug contact element 3 is provided.
- the locking part 6, which is made of plastic, has essentially the shape of an oval frame.
- a latching element designed as a latching arm 7 is molded onto each of the two semicircular wall regions of the locking part 6.
- the two resiliently deflectable latching arms 7 are provided for latching fastening of the locking part 6 to the insulating housing 1, and therefore extend parallel to the direction of insertion of the plug-in connection part.
- the two locking arms 7 are largely integral components of the locking part 6.
- a plurality of locking pins 8 are molded onto one of the two longitudinal walls of the locking part 6.
- the locking pins 8 provided for locking the plug contact elements 3 therefore extend transversely to the insertion direction and protrude into the frame opening of the locking part 6 in a prong shape.
- the locking part 6 is pushed onto the plug-in area 4 of the insulating material housing 1 from the plug-in side, parallel to the plug-in direction - thus similar to a mating plug-in connection part.
- the two locking arms 7 come to rest on the two narrow walls 9 and the locking pins 8 on the associated longitudinal wall 10 of the plug-in area 4.
- the locking part 6 is pushed onto the plug-in area 4 of the insulating material housing 1 until the two latching arms 7 each engage in a latching element of the plug-in area 4 designed as a latching groove 11.
- the two locking grooves 11 run transversely to the direction of insertion, so that on the one hand a secure mounting and on the other hand the possibility of a - necessary to achieve the locking position - transverse movement of the locking part 6 is ensured.
- two insertion grooves 12 with starting ramps and starting from the insertion side are formed in the plug-in area 4.
- the insertion grooves 12 are provided when pushed to guide the two spring-elastic deflectable locking arms 7. Because of the free ends of the locking pins 8 resting on the associated longitudinal wall 10 of the plug-in area 4, the locking part 6 assumes a misaligned position with respect to the plug-in side of the insulating material housing 1. Thus, it is impossible to connect the connector part with its associated mating connector part, the locking part 6 is in its unlocked position.
- the plug contact elements 3 can be inserted into the chambers 2 of the insulating material housing 1 from the rear side 13 facing away from the plug side. Because the locking pins 8 do not engage in the chambers 2 in the unlocked position of the locking part 6, the plug-in contact elements 3 can be freely inserted. If the plug-in contact elements 3 are completely inserted in their associated chambers 2, molded-on, spring-deflectable holding arms 14, which are formed on the plug-in contact elements 3, engage behind appropriately designed holding lugs on the chamber walls. The plug-in contact elements 3 are thereby held securely in their chambers 2.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 there is a sealing element 5 on the plug-in area 4 of the insulating material housing 1.
- the sealing element 5 which also essentially has the shape of an oval frame and is made of an elastically deformable plastic, is held stationary between the edge surface 15 of the locking part 6 facing away from the plug-in side and a support bead 16 molded onto the insulating housing 1. With its one ring surface facing the plug side, the sealing element 5 comes to rest on the edge surface 15 and with its other ring surface facing the rear side 13 on the support bead 16. A secure and positionally accurate mounting of the sealing element 5 is thus ensured even after a large number of plugging or separating processes between the plug connection part and a mating plug connection part.
- the support bead 16 also forms the basis of a collar-shaped extension 17 of the
- Isolierstoffgeophuses 1 This surrounds at a distance with its walls running parallel to the plugging direction the plug-in area 4 of the insulating-material housing 1 and the locking part 6. Through this arrangement, the plug-in area of the mating connector part is sealed against the ingress of moisture by the plug-in area 4 of the plug-in contact part.
- the plug side of the insulating material housing 1, the end face of the collar-shaped extension 17 and the end face of the locking part 6 form the plug face of the plug connection part, the lock part 6 representing a large proportion of the plug face.
- the locking part 6 In order to bring the locking part 6 into its locking position, which can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, it is displaced transversely to the direction of insertion starting from its unlocking position.
- the two locking arms 7 of the locking part 6 slide with their locking surfaces along the associated groove walls of the two locking grooves 11 during the deliberate sliding movement.
- the locking part 6 remains securely held on the insulating housing 1 even during the sliding movement.
- Two of the locking pins 8 are provided with latching hooks 18 and are designed to be elastically deformable. Because these two locking pins 8 each engage with their locking hooks 18 in an opening in the chambers 2, the locking part 6 is secured in the locking position in the plug-in area 4. In the locked position, the locking pins 8 reach through the openings into the chambers 2 and come directly to shoulder-like areas 19 of the plug-in contact elements 3 inserted into the chambers 2.
- the openings are arranged in this way and the locking pins 8 are distributed on the locking part 6 such that two locking pins 8 are assigned to a plug contact element 3 or lock it.
- the positive locking of the plug contact elements 3 means that they can no longer be removed from the chambers 2 easily, that is to say without deliberately releasing the locking.
- the locking part 6 Only now when the locking part 6, caused by a deliberately carried out displacement movement transversely to the plugging direction, is in its locking position can the plug connection part be coupled to its mating plug connection part. Because it is only in the locking position that the alignment of the locking part 6 corresponds to the plug-in side of the plug-in area 4. So that only a connection between plug connection parts and mating plug connection parts is possible, which also are actually provided for a connection, the locking part 6 has a plurality of coding elements 20.
- the coding elements 20 are formed as recesses and molded into the outer walls of the locking part 6. Therefore, the connector part can only be connected to a mating connector part which is provided with appropriately designed and placed coding elements in the form of webs.
