Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector with a housing, in which at least one detachable contact module is used is the one or more rows arranged and as Pin contacts and / or socket contacts trained individual contacts has, and with an orthogonal to the direction of insertion slide element that can be inserted into the connector for securing purposes of the connector, according to the generic term of the older one Patent application P 19 624 646.6.
  • Such a connector is also in EP 0, for example 592 102 A2.
  • the entire connector consists of essentially from a housing with an annular wall, within which already a contact module with a variety is arranged by pin contacts. These pin contacts are connected to a corresponding contact module brought in which a variety of socket contacts, for example so-called spring contacts are arranged.
  • the Socket contacts are within their own socket housing housed, the socket housing in several parts is trained.
  • the socket housing has a rear cover part, an intermediate part and a front part, wherein for sealing purposes between the rear part and the front Part of a sealing plate is attached.
  • the whole Connector is made by axially plugging the individual Components assembled.
  • the back part, the intermediate part and the front part of the socket housing and also that Socket housings themselves on the surrounding housing are made using snap connections held together.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to specify a connector that is characterized by an extreme compact structure distinguishes with only a few Component components. Furthermore, the connector ensure proper, correct assembly in a simple manner, in particular a bending of the pin contacts excluded during assembly of the connector should be.
  • This task is performed with the connector mentioned at the beginning solved in that containing at least one pin contacts Contact module a housing with a surrounding the pin contacts Has housing collar, which by at least about 1/3 is longer than the pin contacts and thereby the Contact pin ends clearly towered over.
  • the housing collar of the contact module seen at least approximately in the direction of insertion formed rectangular. This realization corresponds the cross-sectional shapes of those normally used today Contact modules.
  • the housing collar is of the contact module containing the pin contacts within the connector to another contact module pluggable, which receives socket contacts. That the socket contacts containing contact module is preferably with Provide slots in the housing collar of the other contact module can break in.
  • the housing collar of the pin contacts containing contact modules also encompasses that Housing of the other contact module. The slots in which the Contact module containing socket contacts ensure that the contact module with the relatively long housing collar is pluggable and between the socket contacts and pin contacts electrical contact can be established.
