Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for a shielded Cable whose shield braid over at least the circumference ring provided with conductive material with a shielding part of a housing provided with plug connections is that picks up the wire ends and contacts the Manufactures plug connections.
  • Such a connector is known from DE 8718095 U1, where you put the braid of the cable backwards by about 180 ° folded over a ring and then with contact tabs of shielding plates together with the help of a squeeze ring.
  • the wires of the cable are connected in a known manner Contacts connected, and the shielding sheets are up to preferred to the contacts.
  • the connection of a shielded Cable still requires a relative one in this way great effort, especially because of the necessary contacting with the shield plates over a squeeze ring.
  • the present invention has for its object a To design connectors of the type mentioned that easier contacting with the shield braid of the cable is possible.
  • the connector provided that the ring is a slotted Clamping ring is resilient against one of its contours adapted contact surface of the shielding part and against a recess of a housing part is pressed.
  • the wires of the cable in Guides of a wire carrier made of insulating material be added, separated from the housing or movable this is arranged, with each of the guides for the Veins leading openings are provided in the wire carrier and Contacting tips protruding transversely to the direction of insertion in the housing are present when inserting the wire carrier contact the wires through the openings in the housing and with plug contacts in the housing's open chambers get in touch.
  • the Veins in a relatively simple manner in the initially still loose wire carrier are inserted, which then in the housing is inserted.
  • the shielding part can be in the area of plug-in lugs outwardly resilient tongues for contacting have a socket, and the entire connector housing can from a protective cap made of non-conductive material be surrounded in which shield plates can be inserted.
  • the connector shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 for the connection a flexible twisted pair cable 8 consists of a shielded housing 1 with a partition 1a, which the Wire pairs before mutual electrical interference protects.
  • Shield plates 2 are inserted into this housing 1, which are sleeve-shaped in the later plug-in area and have lateral resilient tongues 2a which are used for contacting serve the shielding of a socket, not shown, and thus secure the screen transfer between the plug and socket.
  • the shield plates 2 are formed continuously through the housing 1 and have a half-shell shape in a connection area Tabs 2b with the shielding braid - not shown of the cable 8 must be brought into contact. These tabs 2b have a curvature that is approximately the radius the cable 8 is adjusted.
  • the cable 8 is on the A slotted clamping ring 3 is assigned to the housing 1 side, through which the shielding braid of the cable 8 after Peeling the outer insulation is placed in a known manner and then together with the half shells 2b in the semicircular Recess 9 of a shielded cover 4 is pinched and because of its spring action against the Tab 2b and the recess 9 presses.
  • the cover 4 is with pins 10 in corresponding openings 11 of the housing 1 inserted and locked there.
  • Insulating bodies 12 are inserted into the shielding sheets 2, which hold the plug contacts (not shown).
  • This Plug contacts have been drawn into the interior of the housing and protrude there with contacting tips 5 in each case Recess 13 on each side of the partition 1a, in the Wire carrier 6 can be inserted.
  • This wire carrier 6 is thereby designed in a manner known per se so that the wire ends 14 of the cable 8 inserted into corresponding guides become. If the wire carrier 6, which is still loose in Fig. 1 lies in front of the recess 13, into the recess 13 after a 90 ° rotation compared to the position shown in Fig.
  • the wire carrier 6 in FIG. 1 is shown as a separate part. Of course it would be possible, this wire carrier 6 e.g. over a film hinge or the like to be injected onto the housing body 1.
  • a protective cap 7 is finally provided, which is made of electrically non-conductive material.
  • a shield plate can be inserted.
  • the Protective cap 7 is placed over the housing 1 with the Housing part 4 and the inserted wire carrier pushed.
  • the Protective cap 7 has a locking hook 7a, which when plugged together of the connector shown with a not shown Socket locked with this.
  • the new connector therefore consists of the housing 1 with the pre-assembled Contacts with the contacting tips 5 and off two wire carriers 6, each for paired wire management to serve.
  • the connector also consists of the cover 4, the for shield connection and strain relief of the then the clamping ring 3 is clamped cable 8, and from the then slidable over the housing 1 and the cover 4 Protective cap 7.
  • the cable 8 is assembled in the following manner: First the cable is shortened to the desired length and it becomes then the protective cap 7 and the clamping ring 3 on the cable stuck. The cable jacket is then released and that Shield braid exposed. The existing foil from for contacting provided wire pairs are removed. It will then the clamping ring 3 between the tabs 2b of the shielding plates 2 positioned, the braid of the cable 8 over pulled the clamping ring 3 and then the cover 4 pressed with the pins 10 in the openings 11.
  • the single wires of the wire pairs are then in the slots a preferably transparent wire carrier 6 pinched, and the protruding part of the veins is shortened. Then the wire carrier 6 on the insulating body Housing 1 pressed with the contacting tips 5, so that when penetration of the core insulation through the three contact tips 5 the electrical contact is made. Then the protective cap 7 over the assembled housing drawn.
  • the resilient snap hook 7a lies on the Bottom of the housing, where a corresponding recess 15th is provided.
