Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shielded connector with a first and a second housing part and one arranged between them Sealing body.
  • Such a shielded connector serves a high Shielding also at interfaces between an electrical or electronic device and the shielded to be connected to it Get cables.
  • the housing parts of the connector have a conductive Surface on that with the shielding of the cables in electrical Connection is established.
  • the desired seal against the ingress of dust and moisture usually a rubber seal between the two housing parts used the inside of the housing parts against the outside seals.
  • the conductive one Provided surface of the housing parts interrupted, so that additional measures are required to meet the required high To achieve shielding attenuation.
  • additional components, about sheet metal frames, used to be despite the between the housing parts arranged rubber seal to the required shielding achieve, or special housings can be used. This However, measures are not necessary for some applications for cost reasons acceptable.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a shielded connector of the type mentioned in that both a high shielding attenuation as well as a good seal against the outdoor space is achieved without special, costly measures should be taken.
  • This task is the beginning of a shielded connector mentioned type solved in that the sealing body from an electrical conductive material and with at least one of the housing parts in electrical connection. Because of the sealing body automatically trained electrical connection between the two housing parts high shielding attenuation is achieved without additional components required are. At the same time, the sealing body provides the required seal between the two housing parts against mechanical influences.
  • the sealing body has an H-shaped profile with a central web, two internal Webs and two external webs.
  • Such a sealing body can interact with the housing parts in the manner of a labyrinth seal, what both the shielding attenuation and the sealing increased against mechanical influences.
  • one of the inner webs of the sealing body with an extension is provided, which overlaps with the adjacent housing part. This process serves to fix the sealing body relative to the corresponding one Housing part and also acts as part of the labyrinth seal.
  • At least one of the housing parts on its with the Sealing body interacting end face has a projection that into the groove between two opposing webs of the sealing body intervenes.
  • the projection is used to reliably attach the Sealing body on the corresponding housing part and is also part of the Labyrinth seal.
  • the groove in which the projection engages is dimensioned so that it becomes a dense plant with the lead.
  • the groove is provided with a circumferential constriction, by means of the the sealing body is held captive on the housing part. Because of the dimensions and design of the groove result without additional Measures the desired seal between the sealing body and the corresponding housing part, so that the desired protection against mechanical influences is obtained.
  • an O-ring is arranged between the sealing body and the end face interacting with it of the housing part is kept compressed.
  • the O-ring in the Groove of the sealing body protected against external influences is, the protection provided by the sealing body against mechanical Influences on the connector.
  • the sealing body consists of a light metal alloy. This material selection enables due to the electrical conductivity of the material high shielding attenuation while at the same time due to the deformability the material has a very good seal between the two housing parts is obtained, which under certain circumstances without additional components desired protection against mechanical influences.
  • a shielded connector is shown schematically. This contains a first housing part 10, a second housing part 12, one between the housing parts 10, 12 arranged sealing body 14 and a Locking mechanism 16, by means of which the two housing parts 10, 12th can be connected.
  • the usually inside the Components arranged in both housing parts are not shown in the figures shown since they do not contribute to the understanding of the invention.
  • the desired shielding of the connector is achieved by the first and second housing parts 10, 12 have a conductive surface.
  • This conductive surface is either by applying a conductive Material formed on the housing parts, if these from a not conductive material exist, or housing parts are used that consist of a conductive material.
  • the sealing body 14 also consists of a electrically conductive material, namely from a light metal alloy.
  • the two housing parts 10, 12 are above the sealing body 14 in electrical connection.
  • the first housing part 10, which is an attachment housing in the embodiment shown is facing on the second housing part 12 End face a circumferential projection 18.
  • the second housing part 12, which is a counter housing here, has one of the first housing part 10 facing end face, which is opposite the parting plane between the both housing parts is inclined at an angle of 15 °.
  • Sealing body 14 has an H-shaped profile in cross section (see the figures 2 and 3).
  • At the central web 20 of the sealing body there are two external ones Crosspieces 22, 26 and two internal crosspieces 24, 28. This are circumferential, so that between the webs 22, 24 on the one hand and on the other hand, a groove 30 or 32 is formed between the webs 26, 28 is (see also Fig. 4).
  • an O-ring 34, 36 is arranged, which adjoins one another assembled housing parts 10, 12 between the sealing body 14 and the corresponding end face of the housing parts kept clamped becomes.
  • the sealing body 14 acts with the two housing parts 10, 12 in the manner of a Maze seal together by the protrusion 18 of the first housing part 10 engages in the groove 30 of the sealing body 14 and one on the inside Web 28 formed extension 38 with the first housing part 10 facing edge section of the second housing part 12 overlaps.
  • the so formed labyrinth seal ensures a high one Shielding attenuation over a wide frequency range up to about 1 GHz and on the other hand, supported by the O-rings 34 and 36, a good mechanical Sealing between the two housing parts, with an IP degree of protection > 65 can be achieved.
  • the variant according to the Figures 5 and 6 no O-ring 34 used in the groove 30. Instead it will here a groove 30 'is used, which is on the inside of the outside Web 22 is provided with a circumferential constriction 40.
  • the groove 30 'with the constriction 40 is dimensioned such that together with the circumferential Projection a clamping effect between the sealing body and the projection 18 is achieved.
  • this ensures a good mechanical Sealing even without using an O-ring while the other the sealing body 14 captively held on the first housing part 10 becomes.
  • the desired shielding attenuation with a high degree of IP protection is possible.
  • a major advantage of the connector according to the invention is that that the sealing body 14 formed in the manner described without any particular Effort can replace the rubber seal that is common is used between the two housing parts of a connector. If this connector was previously shielded, it is no longer required the measures that were required to achieve the desired attenuation despite using the rubber seal. If the Connector was not previously shielded, it can now if its housing parts are either provided with a conductive surface or made of a conductive material, to a shielded connector be upgraded, since it consists of an electrically conductive material Sealing body together with the two housing parts for the required Shielding provides. In both cases, the existing ones Housing parts continue to be used as the one described here Sealing body 14 is used in the manner of a module system when it is required.
