Definitions

  • a removable multi-pin electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1 is the WIELAND connector system, which is mechanically coded by means of axially parallel connector ribs St 18 "on the market and, in DT 22 06 753. in variants.
  • the pin or socket connector not only each screw or a corresponding plug pair so each having latched shell-shaped housing parts that they can be opened for connecting or exchanging an electrical supply cable and then closed again for use; but that, even when the plug housing is open, the stripped ends of the wires of a cable are easily dismantled or attached to the pins or sockets assigned to them.
  • the outer sheath of the cable connected in this way is clamped between ribbed jaws, which are molded into the housing shells on both sides of the housing division joint at the cable entry e housing shells by means of clamping screws, these ribs are braced against each other with the interposition of the cable.
  • the result of this is that the actual height of the housing depends on the diameter of the cable to be clamped.
  • the minimum clear jaw spacing, measured across the parting line, must be so small that even the thinnest cable found in heavy current practice (3 x 0.7 mm) is reliably clamped for effective strain relief; which results in the effective housing height increasing with increasing cable diameter and possibly blocking the thickest standardized cable (3 x 2.5 mm) along the dividing line towards the cable entry.
  • the housing part which is placed as a hood over these towering sleeves, has a one-sided bearing on the housing division joint compared to the diameter of the coding sleeves, which results in a bulky-thick connector that is very asymmetrical with respect to the division joint.
  • Cables assembled with such plugs can be found extensively, especially for dining of, for example, kitchen lights or power strips, which are about one Worktop are mounted under the sub-floors of wall units. Usually done then the cable routing for feeding from above the upper cabinets through the narrow one Distance through that regularly between the building wall and the The rear wall of the wall unit suspended from it remains. But this freedom is too narrow to pass the cable end with the bulky connector housing through it. For this reason, the plug must be dismantled for installation on site and then backwards Pushing down the cable, reconnected below the top cabinet become; which is very labor intensive and prone to errors in practice, since such work rarely carried out by an experienced electrician - usually from the cabinet supplier become. Disassembly of the connector is also necessary if e.g.
  • the invention is based on the object, the introduced and already widespread coding connector installation system is still noticeable to make it more user-friendly that the requirements of plug disassembly when Cable routing will be significantly restricted but, if necessary, easy to use stay.
  • the invention is made possible - for a screwed and therefore light (Dis) mountable plug new - extremely flat design according to a further training of the Invention e.g. in that the clamping screws no mechanical support function for the contact with their terminals compared to their embedding in the connector block take over more and can now be kept very short; namely primarily as grub screws of such an optimally short length that after insertion of the thinnest Wire in the terminal blind hole even in the screw hole block of their respective cable connection terminal sink in or at least finish flush with it.
  • the maximum Overhang is then determined from the diameter difference between the thinnest and thickest occurring wire of the multi-core cable to about 1.8 mm.
  • the invention combines the advantages of simple plug dismantling with those of a conceivably flat connector, without the removable connector defined in the beginning Meaning the serious disadvantages (especially the high-profile housing hood or to take over a fixed cable thickness by welding) by now in particular a removable multi-pole coded electrical connector comparatively can be laid out very flat to e.g. with the feed cable already connected in the narrow gap between a kitchen wall unit and the load-bearing wall into one Lower the lamp over the worktop or to thread the cable through a Easily remove the small hole in the cabinet on site and reliably reassemble it can; wherein the housing or the like preferably with at least one pin.
  • the plastic connector 11 sketched somewhat simplified and enlarged in the drawing is shown in FIG its supporting connector block 49, for example, with plug contact sockets (or with Plug contact pins) equipped, the molded on the connector block 49 protection sleeves 12 are surrounded. These in turn are to protect against reverse polarity with coding ribs formed longitudinally and parallel to the direction of insertion 13 equipped.
  • This Stage 16 corresponds to a complementary constriction 17 at the transition from the tubular Clamp embedding 18 to the sleeve 12 radially distanced from the contact 14 on the connector block 49.
  • the connector block 49 can thus be axially parallel from the rear through the embedding 18 through to the stage 16 against the constriction 17 equipped with a contact 14 are beyond which the contact 14 does not slide afterwards can.
  • the stripped is in the rearwardly open coaxial blind hole 19 of the respective contact terminal 15 End of the assigned stranded wire 20 of the feed cable 21 inserted and by means of a clamping screw 22 oriented transversely to the blind hole 19 with ohmic contact fixed.
  • the clamping screws 22 are preferably short Allen screws, those for the screwdriver through openings 23 in the terminal embedding 18 are accessible if they (contrary to the example in the drawing) when clamping only a thin wire 20 more or less deep in the Opening 23 or even sunk into the terminal block 15.
  • the clamping screws 22 are no longer designed.
  • The is under against screwed the sheath of the cable 21 onto two bases 28, whereby here cables 21 of all common Diameters can be reliably set even with the housing 24 still open, without that the cable thickness has an influence on the current housing height.
  • the lower part 29 equipped with the connector block 49 (shown in the drawing above) the double-shell housing 24 is essentially one with central and lateral reinforcing ribs 33 profiled plastic plate, from which the molded base 28 for strain relief 25 protrude in front of the two end faces of the rib profile 27.
  • the connector block 49 is provided in the transverse direction with a flat collar 31 which the Border between the contact terminal embeddings 18 and the sleeves 12 marked.
  • Collar 31 has approximately the height of the coding ribs 13, so it stands above them in any case not significant before. The step results for the surfaces of the embeddings 18 to the collar 31 but an extended tracking current path length without it being strong applied insulating protective structures required.
  • the forehead 32 of the board-shaped connector housing lower part 29 abuts against the collar 31, the rest of the clamping screws 22 opposite along the terminal embedding 18 and thus runs adjacent to the connector block 49.
  • shaped ribs 33 end in angled legs.
  • the upper housing part 38 has essentially the shape of an L-shaped in longitudinal section and U-shaped chute in cross section. With its side walls 39 it overlaps the free ones Outer surfaces of the embedding side cheeks 37 and the edges of the lower part 29 for the longitudinal extension of the plug 11, the upper housing part 38 is at the front, likewise the same behind the collar 32, with spacers 40 pulled down on between the terminals 15, tubular profiled clamp embedding 18 to clear clearance for the at thick wires 20 protrude somewhat from the terminals 15 and from their embeddings 18 To ensure terminal screws 22; while the upper part 38 by the rest one of the free end face of the pillar 30 overlapping hollow collar 41 on the lower part 29 rests.
  • This hollow collar 41 surrounds an inner recess in the upper part 38, ie on the visible side Hole 42 for the passage of an anchor screw 43, e.g. with self-tapping Thread is screwed into the hollow pillar 30 to the connector 11 after connection of the cable 21 to the connector block 49 reliably by means of a single screw connection but easy to dismantle to close.
  • the upper part 38 thereby experiences an additional position safeguard against lifting off the connector block 49 and against lateral pivoting about the pillar 30 out of the longitudinal direction of the plug that from Under the upper part 38, short tongues 44 projecting undercuts 45 protrude in the longitudinal direction, the - remote from the lower part 29 - towards the rear of the cable entry are integrally formed on the collar 31 of the connector block 49.
  • the connector 11 is not yet ready for use, so there is still no connector pressure on its contacts 14 exercised but can continue in the longitudinal direction from the front support collar 31 Move backwards to the cable entry if, during assembly, on the cable 21 or individual one of the 20 wires is exerted because the hood 38 during assembly is not yet attached with the support pin 48 Therefore, it also expediently protrude from the bottom plate of the lower housing part 29 such pins 48 through embedding holes 50 through to the form-fitting engagement with the terminals 15 in the interior of the housing 24 into the contact terminals 15 also from here and thus when the contact is still open Housing 24 already before the top part 38 is put on for rear support to fall behind.
