  • Another way of fixing the position is that in the peripheral surface of the plug body in the direction of its central longitudinal axis 7 extending gap (not shown) is present in the film conductor can be inserted with its end edge.
  • the at least one positioning lead can also be used to lock the plug body 1 and fixing part 2.
  • each Receiving channel 8 is a contact pin 9.
  • the contact pins 9 carry at least a contact element 10 which is designed in the form of a spring tongue and that extends radially away from the contact pin 9 and protrudes into the receiving gap 3.
  • the contact element 10 is connected to a conductor track 12 in the receiving gap 3 arranged film conductor in electrical contact.
  • To one To enable contact is the insulating layer facing the plug body 1 the film conductor 4 removed to form a contact point 13 (see Fig. 9,10).
  • two contact elements 10, 10a are on one Contact pin 9 arranged, each with a contact point 13,13a in connection stand.
  • the contact points 13, 13a can either be a single or be assigned to two different conductor tracks. Due to the resilient design the contact elements 10 is a sufficient contact pressure and thus An electrical contacting of the conductor tracks of the film conductor is guaranteed.
  • the film conductor 4 is pressed against the inner wall of the fixing part 2, whereby in addition to the fixation by positioning projections, an additional mechanical Fixation of the film conductor 4 in the receiving gap 3 is reached.
  • a another possibility of a springy contact in the radial direction is that the area 14 of the wall of the fixing part assigned to the contact elements 2 is designed as a spring element, for example in the form of an elastomer insert or in the form of a spring tongue.
  • the entire inner wall the fixing part is lined with an elastomer.
  • the film conductor and in particular the contact elements 10 a three-dimensional or relief-like, complementary have a mutually formed structure.
  • Two film conductors 4, 4 a can also be arranged in the receiving gap 3, whereby there are further possible variations.
  • the contact elements 10 of a contact pin 9 do not necessarily have to be in contact participate, but can only serve the contact points of the to press two foil conductors together.
  • the conductor tracks 12, 12a two foil conductors 4, 4a connected to one another via a contact pin 9.
  • To the contact pin 9 has two contact elements 10b, 10c.
  • the one contact element 10b stands over a passage opening 15 in the foil conductor 4a with the conductor track 12 of the film conductor 4 and the other contact element 10c with the conductor track 12a of the film conductor 4a in contact.
  • the grid spacing of the contact pins 10 within the connector body is between 2.54 and 5.08 mm, the diameter of the contact pins 1 to 2 mm is.
  • the plug body is preferably designed such that it does not have a fixing part 2 a diameter of 5 to 10 mm and with a fixing part a diameter of 7 to 15 mm.
  • the contact pins 9 protrude from one or both end faces of the connector body 1 out and are as a plug-in pin in a mating connector or designed as a socket receiving a mating connector. Several So plugs can be plugged together in a row.
  • the one or the other protruding contact pins 9 can protrude from both end faces 16 of the plug body 1 be surrounded by a protective housing 17. Another (not shown) Embodiment, the contact pins from neither of the two end faces 16 out.
  • the plug serves as a two or more foil conductors coupling element contacting each other.
  • a film conductor is preferably inserted into the receiving gap 3 in such a way that its longitudinal axis 18 extends transversely to the central longitudinal axis 7 of the plug body 1. To lead the film conductor out of the fixing part 2 in the tangential direction can, this has an opening extending in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 7 19 on.
  • the longitudinal axis 18a of the film conductor 4b extends in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 7 (see 5, left side).
  • the fixing part 2 can consist of two half-shells 21, 22 which are parallel to one another to the central longitudinal axis 7 extending pivot axis 20 pivotable to each other are stored.
  • the film conductor can first 4 with its end around the plug body 1 and then the fixing part with its two half shells 21, 22 folded around the plug body 1 become.
  • a snap connection part 23 can be provided, which on one Half shell 22 is fixed and can be locked with the other half shell 21.
  • the Free end 24 of the snap connection part 23 can be designed that it presses the film conductor 4 against a counter surface of the half-shell 21 and so provides strain relief for the foil conductor 4.
  • the above-mentioned opening 19 in Fixing part 2 is thereby through the separation gap between the free end 24 and the surface of the half-shell 21 formed.
  • Another mounting option consists in the fact that the film conductor 4 initially into the sleeve-shaped fixing part 2 inserted and then the connector body 1 is inserted from the side. Independently Depending on the mounting method, it is possible to remove the connector body to be equipped with contact pins. In addition to the contacting of the Conductor tracks over spring tongues is also a welded, soldered or crimped connection conceivable. Around those formed by the foil conductors 4 and the contact elements 10 Contact points 13 or the contact area containing these contact points To protect against the ingress of moisture, it is provided that the receiving gap by sealing lips or the like. is sealed to the outside.
  • the connector body 1 and the fixing part 2 are normally made of plastic.
  • the fixing part 2 can, however, also consist of metal, if a larger one Stability and an improved cooling effect is desired.
  • the cooling effect can be enlarged by cooling fins on the outer peripheral surface.
  • On off Metal existing fixation has the advantage that it serves as a shield. For this purpose, it can be vapor-deposited onto or onto the foil conductor other way applied shielding layer interact.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the plug body or the inner cross-sectional shape of the fixing part are in principle arbitrary. However, a round or oval shape is advantageous, the oval shape also being flattened and parallel to each other 25 can have (Fig. 7).
  • the fixing part 2a also bears Contact pins 9b, each parallel to the central longitudinal axis 7 of the connector body 1 extending receiving channels 8a are arranged.
  • the contact pins 9b are designed like the contact pins 9 arranged in the plug body 1, thus have at least one contact element 10b, which in the receiving gap 3rd protrudes into contact with the conductor track of a foil conductor 4 serves.
  • the receiving channels 8a and the contacts 9b are expediently so arranged that they are opposite the contact pins 9 in the connector body 1.
  • the installation space provided by the connector housing is still available used more.
  • a film section lying in the receiving gap can be of two Pages can be contacted here. It is also conceivable that two in the receiving gap 3 Insert foil conductors with their sides facing each other in direct are in electrical contact and also via the contact pins 9,9b are contacted.
  • the arranged in the connector body 1 contact pins 9 from the center of the Plug body 1 ago with a radially outward force are.
  • This can be done in the following ways:
  • a central bore 26 is present, which is aligned with the receiving channels 8 overlaps.
  • the outer peripheral surface of the contact pins 9 in the direction of Arrows 27 urge radially outwards.
  • the contact elements 10 of the contact pins 9 thereby press the film conductor 4 either against the inner wall of the fixing part 2 or against the contact elements 10b arranged in the fixing part 2 Contact pins 9b.
  • FIG. 9 shows the end section that can be connected with a plug a foil conductor with parallel conductor tracks 29. Their parallel alignment continues into the contact area of the connector.
  • An adaptation to other spacing dimensions of the conductor tracks takes place by correspondingly changed longitudinal positions of the contact elements 10 on the Contact pins 9.
