Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of at least one electrical connector with at least one complementary connector.
  • WO 93/20252 A2 an electrical connector, a housing for such a connector and a contact for such a connector are known.
  • the connectors described in this patent application each comprise a row of contacts. They are stackable and are welded to one another for fastening. Such a stack of two plugs is shown in FIG. 18, for example.
  • the number 302 denotes a strain relief element which is cast onto the actual connector housing. Since connecting plugs are used to be plugged together with a complementary plug, it makes sense to provide a device on the plugs that facilitates the connection with complementary plugs.
  • the connecting part has a Schwalben ⁇ tail pin.
  • the housing of the electrical connector can have cutouts not only on one side but on several sides. It is particularly advantageous to provide such recesses on two opposite sides of the housing. If the connecting part is to be used to fix the plug, it makes sense for a connecting part to be introduced into both opposite cutouts. However, if the connector is only used for coding, it is sufficient if it is attached to one of the sides.
  • a module with multiple plugs are used, these plugs are welded together. Before welding, however, it is necessary that the plugs are adjusted to each other. If a recess is provided on the connector housings as described above, it is possible to insert the corresponding connecting part into this recess. As a result, the individual plugs are adjusted to one another. You can now be welded.
  • the connecting part can therefore not only be used for fixing and coding but also for adjustment.
  • FIG. 1 shows a connecting part, as can be used for adjustment
  • FIG. 2 shows a connecting part which is designed to receive a lifting screw
  • FIG. 3 shows a single plug with a plug housing with cutouts
  • Figure 4 shows a module from five plugs with corresponding Ren connector as well as for connecting a module from several electrical plugs with a module from several complementary plugs.
  • the individual plugs have housings.
  • the housings have a recess on at least one side.
  • the cutout in the individual housings is configured identically and the cutouts are arranged one above the other.
  • a connecting part is provided which is designed such that it can be inserted into the recess perpendicular to the direction of joining of the plug and parallel to the side of the plug in which the recess is located. In this direction, the connecting part can also be removed from the recess. If several plugs are combined in one module, it also makes sense to provide only one connecting part for a series of recesses one above the other. The height of this connecting part then corresponds to the height of the overall module.
  • Either a means for fastening or a means for coding or both can be provided on the exchangeable connecting part.
  • a latching arm with a latching hook or a latching nose can serve as a means of fastening if corresponding complementary means are provided on the complementary plug or a circuit board or housing wall containing the latter.
  • a lifting screw can also serve as a means of attachment.
  • Color coding or tabs can be provided as coding means, which engage in corresponding recesses in the complementary plug or in a printed circuit board or housing wall containing the same.
  • a particularly advantageous and reliable embodiment of the cutout and connecting part is when the cutout is in the form of a dovetail cut.
  • FIG. 1 A plug 1 with a housing 2 is shown in FIG. 1
  • the housing has cutouts 3, 3 ′ on two opposite sides, which serve to receive the connecting part 4.
  • the recesses are shaped like dovetail cutouts and can accommodate the dovetail pin 41 of the connecting part 4.
  • the dovetail pin 41 can be inserted in a direction perpendicular to the joining direction of the plug and parallel to the side on which the recess is made, and can also be removed from the recess 3, 3 'in this direction.
  • FIG. 4 shows a modular plug which is composed of a plurality of plugs 11 to 15 which are attached to one another.
  • Each of the plugs has a housing 21 which has recesses 31 to 35 or 31 'on opposite sides.
  • a connecting part 4 can be inserted into these recesses.
  • the height of the dovetail pin of the connecting part corresponds to the height h of the overall module.
  • a connecting part as shown in FIG. 1 can be used to adjust the various plugs 11 to 15 to one another before they are welded together. For this purpose, the connecting part is inserted into the cutouts 31-35. After insertion, the connectors 11 to 15 are adjusted to each other.
  • FIG. 5 shows the modular plug arrangement shown in FIG. 4 with the connecting parts 4 and 4 'inserted.
  • the connecting parts correspond to the connecting parts shown in FIG. 2. They each have a lifting screw 5, which is used to fix the modular plug in a complementary plug or in a housing wall that carries this plug.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the connection Recesses
  • FIG. 5 shows an arrangement of five plugs with a connecting part with a lifting screw
  • FIG. 6 shows a connecting part with means for coding
  • FIG. 7 shows a module consisting of five plugs with a connecting part and means for coding
  • FIG. 8 shows a module consisting of six plugs with a connecting part with coding means and a complementary plug in a front cover plate
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 the process of connecting the arrangement shown in FIG. 8,
  • FIG. 12 shows a connecting part with means for fastening and means for coding
  • FIG. 13 shows a modular plug made up of five plugs with a connecting part as shown in FIG. 12.
  • FIG. 1 shows a connecting part 4, which can consist, for example, of a metal or a plastic.
  • the connecting part 4 has a dovetail pin 41. This extends over the total height h of the connecting part 4.
  • a connecting part, which is designed as in FIG. 1, can be used, for example, for adjusting a plurality of plugs which are to be assembled to form a modular plug.
  • Figure 2 also shows a connecting part 4 with a dovetail pin 41.
  • this part has a molded part with a bore. This hole is used to hold a lifting screw.
  • Arrangement for connecting an electrical plug to a complementary plug with the following features: a) at least one first electrical plug (1) with a housing (2) is provided, b) the housing (2) has on at least one side, a recess (3) runs parallel to the direction of insertion of the plug, c) at least one connecting part (4) is provided, which is designed such that it is in the recess (3) perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the plug (1) and parallel to The side in which the recess is fitted can be pushed in, d) the connecting part (4) has means for fastening (5) to a complementary plug (6) or a printed circuit board or housing wall containing it.
  • Arrangement for connecting an electrical plug to a complementary plug with the following features: a) at least one first electrical plug (1) is provided with a housing (2), b) the housing (2) has on at least one side, a recess (3) runs parallel to the direction of insertion of the plug, c) at least one connecting part (4) is provided, which is designed such that it is in the recess (3) perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the plug (1) and parallel to Side in which the recess is made can be pushed in, d) the connecting part (4) has means for coding (7) the plug (1).
  • Arrangement for connecting an electrical plug to a complementary plug with the following features: a) at least one first electrical plug (1) with a housing (2) is provided, b) the housing (2) has on at least one side, the partly shown 4. It also has a dovetail pin 41 and to the means 7 for coding. These means are designed in the form of a pin which extends in the direction of the complementary plugs.
  • FIGS. 8 to 11 now show how an arrangement according to FIG. 7 interacts with a complementary plug.
  • the modular plug with the plugs 11 to 16 and the associated housings 21 to 26, and a connecting part 4 with a dovetail pin 41 and a tab 71 can be seen as a means of coding.
  • a complementary plug can be seen, which is fixed in a front plate cover 60.
  • the complementary connector 6 also has two tabs 72 and 73 which extend towards the first connector.
  • the means for coding 71 now intervenes between the two tabs 72 and 73. It is not possible to twist the plug through 180 °, since the tab 71 is then pushed against the front cover 60 and joining cannot take place. It is also not possible to insert plugs with a different coding, in which the tab 71 is attached, for example, at a different location, into the complementary plug.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 now show a connecting part which carries both means for fixing and means for coding.
  • the lifting screw 5 is fixed in a bore in a recess 51 on the connecting part 4.
  • the connecting part 4 has a tab 7 as already described above.
