Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for contacting a multipole female connector for plug connections with connecting wires.
  • the connecting wire feeder is used during assembly and contacting the connecting wires with double-row side-by-side female connectors from the side using special contacting tools carried out. Then the individual assembled female connector elements separated from each other and into a multi-row Female connector assembled (-napped, -pressed, etc.). This is cumbersome and also leads to tensile stress the connecting wires. Therefore, using a separate Crimping tool crimp arrangements to relieve the Insulation clips are provided.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for Contacting a multi-pin female connector for plug connections with connecting wires to indicate which is easier is feasible and not as expensive as the known one Procedure is.
  • the female connector is composed of a plurality of inner and a pair of outer plastic plates, the inner plastic plates being designed such that one of their sides for receiving insulation displacement contacts and contact springs integrally connected to them is formed, while the other side has correspondingly molded molded pressure pieces, which are used to press the connecting wires into the insulation displacement terminals, and the outer plastic plates have either similar pressure pieces and press pins or receptacles on one of their sides, that from two opposite sides one side has receptacles for press pins attached to the other side, that the plastic plates preassembled with the insulation displacement contacts and contact springs are kept at a distance within a pressing tool by means of the press pins which are designed in a press fit, that in this pre-assembled plastic plates at length cut wires are inserted in the direction of insertion, and that the plastic plates are pressed together by means of the pressing tool.
  • the process according to the invention has the advantage that it is easy to carry out because the use of special contacting tools and special crimping tools.
  • Embodiments of the plastic plates according to the invention result from the subclaims and from the following description of one shown in the drawing Female connector, in which the method according to the invention is applied.
  • the female connector 1 in which the inventive method is used, consists of plastic plates 2, 3, 4, wherein the plastic plates 2 are inner Plastic plates, which all have the same structure.
  • the plastic plates 3 and 4 are outer plastic panels. These have plastic sheets on each of their sides a smooth surface, which simultaneously form outer surfaces of the female connector 1.
  • the plastic plates 2 are formed on one side in such a way that they the insulation displacement terminals 6 and those connected to them Take up contact springs 7.
  • the plastic plates 2 are molded pressure pieces 8 and 9 attached. This is from these pressure pieces Pressure piece 8 within the insulation displacement area of the insulation displacement clamps 6, while the pressure pieces 9 each to both Pages outside the insulation displacement area of the insulation displacement clamps 6 are located.
  • the outer pressure pieces 9 are designed such that they enclose the connecting wires 5 to almost 180 ° and on this Way a wire guide when inserting the leads 5th into the pre-assembled and spaced plastic plates 2 form and also a dodging of the connecting wires 5 prevent when squeezing. This will make the printing area the inside the insulation displacement area of the insulation displacement clamps 6 lying pressure pieces 8 by a light trough-shaped Well for applying a high pressure in the Pressed together.
  • each of the plastic plates 2 is included Press pin 10 provided in receptacles 11 on the opposite Intervene side.
  • the press pins 10 have a Press fit on.
  • the press pin 10 on the side of the plastic plates 2, on which the pressure pieces 8 and 9 are located.
  • the pressure pieces take over 8 and 9 the activity of the known contacting method additionally necessary contacting tool.
  • the method according to the invention is omitted the additional use of a crimping tool.
