Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector system, comprising a housing which comprises at least one receptacle for at least one particular electrical connection, which is held by a position assurance element in the receptacle after installation.
  • Such a connector system can be used, for example, to make the appropriate connections to a flexible or rigid printed circuit.
  • the position assurance elements are either formed separately from the housing receiving the terminals or connected by a complete permanent joint with the housing.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide an improved connector system of the type mentioned, which is as inexpensive to produce and manageable in the simplest possible way. It should be ensured with this connector system and the best possible protection of or the connections.
  • the einstükkig made with the housing position assurance element is first connected via predetermined breaking points with the housing, which arranged between the position assurance element pivot pin and the inner edges are provided by these pivot pin receiving slots of the housing, wherein the position securing element is movable after breaking the predetermined breaking points due to pivoting of the position securing element relative to the housing in accordance with guided in the slots pivot pin in its safety position.
  • the connector system can be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner. It is not only extremely easy to handle, it also ensures optimum protection of the connector (s) and thus the entire connector system.
  • the housing and the position assurance element are initially formed by a one-piece molding.
  • the connector system can thus be produced, for example, by injection molding.
  • the housing and the position assurance element may in particular be formed from a material comprising fiberglass.
  • the position securing element is expediently designed plate-like.
  • a slot is provided on opposite sides of the housing, wherein in each case a laterally provided on the position securing element pivot pin engages in the two slots.
  • the pivot axis extending through the two pivot pins expediently extends transversely to the direction in which the connection can be inserted into the receptacle.
  • pivot pins are provided at one end of the position-securing element and the position-securing element can be pivoted with its opposite free end to the connection arranged in the receptacle.
  • the slots each have a serving as a pivot bearing for the respective pivot pin broader section and an adjoining narrower portion, the pivot pins each provided with a flattening and after the pivoting of the position assurance element in the narrower slot sections inserted are.
  • the position assurance element is pivotable in a direction of insertion of the terminal at least substantially parallel Endschwenklage.
  • the slots are inclined relative to the insertion direction of the terminal so that the position assurance element is displaceable both in Anschlußeinsteckraum and perpendicular to the terminal.
  • the connector system 10 shown schematically in Figures 1 to 9 comprises a housing 12 which is provided with at least one receptacle 14 for one or more particular electrical connections 16 which are held by a position assurance element 18 in the receptacle 14 after assembly (see. in particular Figures 5, 6 and 9).
  • the plate-like position securing element 18 is made in one piece with the housing 12. It is initially connected via predetermined breaking points 20 with the housing 12, which is arranged between at the position securing element 18 pivot pin 22 and the inner edges 24 of these pivot pins 22 receiving slots 26 of the housing 12 are provided (see, in particular Figure 1).
  • the housing 12 and the position assurance element 18 may thus initially be formed in particular by a one-piece molded part.
  • a fiberglass comprehensive material is used.
  • the two slots 26 are provided on opposite sides of the housing 12, wherein in these two slots 26 each have a laterally provided on the position assurance element 18 pivot pin 22 engages.
  • the two slots 26 each have a serving as a pivot bearing for the respective pivot pin 22 wider portion 26 'and an adjoining narrower section 26' on.
  • the pivot pins 22 are each provided with a flattening 28 and after the pivoting of the position assurance element 18 in the narrower slot portions 26 '' inserted (see For example, Figures 3 to 6).
  • the position assurance element 18 is thus movable after breaking the predetermined breaking points 20 as a result of pivoting of the position securing element relative to the housing 12 in correspondingly guided in the slots 26 pivot pin 22 in his in the figures 5, 6 and 9 illustrated securing position in which the gap 30 between the position securing element 18 and the terminals 16 (see in particular Figure 6) is reduced to a minimum.
  • the pivot axis extending through the two pivot pins 22 extends transversely to the direction S, in which the terminals 16 in the receptacle 14 can be inserted.
  • the pivot pins 22 are provided at one end of the position securing element 18, which is correspondingly pivotable with its opposite free end to the arranged in the receptacle 14 ports 16 out.
  • the position securing element 18 is pivotable in a direction of insertion of the terminals 16 at least substantially parallel Endschwenklage. Once this Endschwenklage is reached, the position assurance element 18 can be moved due to a corresponding leadership of the pivot pin 22 in the slots 26 forward and downward to the terminals 16 out. As soon as the pivot pins 22 provided with a respective flattening 28 are received in the narrower slot sections 26 ", pivoting of the position securing element 18 is no longer possible.
  • the position assurance element 18 With an initial pivoting of the position assurance element 18 break the predetermined breaking points 20, whereupon the position assurance element is freely pivoted further into the Endschwenklage shown for example in Figures 3 and 4.
  • the position assurance element 18 extends at least substantially parallel to the direction S, in which the terminals 16 in the receptacle 14 are inserted.
  • the position securing element 18 is displaced with the pivot pin 26 in accordance with guided pivot pin 22 forward and downward to the terminals 16 out.
  • the slots 26 are correspondingly inclined with respect to the insertion direction S (cf., in particular, FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 8 and 9).
  • the described connector system 10 may be used, for example, to make desired connections to a flexible or rigid printed circuit 32. It can be used with both an electronic header and an in-line connector system.
