Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector part with a Insulating existing carrier body inserted in the electrical contacts are and are held by means of an additional part.
  • a connector part which is designed as a spring or male connector can be a complementary connector part to manufacture inserted a multi-pin connector.
  • the side by side have segments inserted into the carrier body of the connector part on the side which is inserted into the carrier body, contacts in a spring strip as contact springs or a male connector as a contact blade trained and to make contact with the corresponding Contact blades or contact springs of the complementary Plug connection part are provided.
  • On another side of the segments are connected to the respective contacts connected terminal ends, for example, connected to terminals of a circuit board can be.
  • the connection ends can be at right angles to the direction of insertion be arranged of the connector.
  • the segments with their contacts and terminal ends are in different Variations made.
  • the Overmolded contacts which is relatively expensive.
  • the segments are made in two parts, and the contacts become inserted between the two segment halves.
  • this has the disadvantage that a total of significantly more items must be processed.
  • the contacts can also be simply inserted into slices, which, however, adversely affects their tightness.

  • This object is achieved in that in the carrier body a plurality of contacts and terminal ends contained segments are inserted, and that the segments are fixed by means of an additional part of insulating material, wherein the additional part is provided with comb-like projections, between which the segments are arranged.
  • Such an additional part causes a firm hold of the segments in the carrier body and has the advantage that it serves in addition to the isolation of the segments with each other and thus leads to an improvement in the undesirable in connectors required air and creepage distances in the connector.
  • the terminal ends of the segments are perpendicular to the insertion direction the contacts connectable to an advantageous connector configuration to reach at the terminal ends of the segments perpendicular to the insertion direction of the connector part, e.g. in appropriate Protruding holes of a printed circuit board.
  • This can be a connector part to save space in the longitudinal direction of the board.
  • the segments and their contacts are reached. That's how it can be Additional part with a bearing surface on a first, facing away from the contacts Press the end surface of each segment and thus the segment with a second end surface opposite the first end surface Press on a stop of the carrier body, causing the Insertion depth of the segments is set in the carrier body.
  • a fixation the segments transverse to the insertion is by rib-shaped Formations on the additional part possible, each in a corresponding recess intervene in the first termination area of a segment.
  • the outer segments of the connector part may preferably held by a projection in the support surface of the additional part be in a corresponding paragraph of the first closure surface engages a segment.
  • the additional part preferably resilient latching lugs, which engage in corresponding recesses engage the carrier body and thus enable a firm locking.
  • a support wall in the carrier body with Ribs may be provided, wherein the ribs each have a recess, in which engages a corresponding molded nose of the additional part.
  • Fig. 1 is a complete connector part 1 in the assembled state shown. It consists essentially of a rectangular carrier body 19 made of plastic with moldings for several side by side Segments 2, attached to which terminal ends 4 and 5 contacts are (see Fig. 2), by an additional part 3 in a defined position be held.
  • the additional part 3 is designed so that it is not from the volume defined by the side walls of the carrier body 19 protrudes, i. the total volume of the connector part is through the additional part 3 is not enlarged.
  • connector part 1 is a multi-pole spring connector with contacts, formed as contact springs and in formations 20 of the carrier body 19 are used.
  • the invention can just as well Male connector with a bottom part with formations to be applied, in the segments are inserted with contact blades and in the one Insertion region of the contact elements surrounding collar is provided.
  • FIG. 2 shows a single segment 2 of the plug connection part 1 from FIG. 1. It consists of insulating material, in which the terminal ends 4, with a Printed circuit board (not shown) to be connected, are embedded. The Terminal ends 4 are arranged at right angles to the contact springs 5. The Segment has a first, facing away from the contact springs 5 end surface 16 with a paragraph 18 and one of these first end face 16 opposite second end surface 11 in the first end surface 16 is located transversely to the longitudinal direction of a groove. 9
  • elongated additional part 3 of Connector part 1 of Figure 1 has a comb-like structure, with some the emanating from a bearing surface 15 comb-like projections 24 laterally resilient locking lugs 12 have.
  • On the long side everyone comb-like Anformung 24 is at the support surface 15 each have a nose 25th appropriate.
  • ends of the comb-like Formations 24 are projections 7 and pin-shaped projections 27 provided.
  • the support surface At the longitudinal ends of the additional part 3, the support surface each have a projection 17 and a rib-shaped Anformung. 8 on.
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged section of the support part 19 of the connector part 1 to see from Fig. 1.
  • the strip recesses 20 are formed, each bounded by a stop 10.
  • Sideways is one Provided support wall 21, formed on the ribs 23 with recesses 26 are.
  • the support wall 21 has a plurality of recesses 14 on.
  • the additional part 3 of insulating material is according to the view of FIG. 1 of Inserted below in the carrier body 19, in which previously the segments. 2 also used from below with upwardly facing contact springs 5 have been.
  • the resilient locking lugs 12 of the additional part 3 snap it in the corresponding recesses 14 in the support wall 21 of the Carrier body 19 a.
  • the comb-like projections 24 of the 3 additional part This ensures a secure locking of the segments 2.
