Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector for connecting electrical Conductors to an electrical device, insulation displacement contacts being provided, which are held in a contact carrier.
  • Such an electrical connector is for a fixed, through the use of Insulation displacement contacts but also releasable connection from an electrical Device provided with one or more electrical conductors.
  • DE 197 55 530 describes a device for electrical strain relief and / or optical cable known in which the insulation displacement in a corresponding Forming are firmly connected to a housing in which one for Insulation clamps provided cable guide part and a conductor guide part with be screwed onto a union nut.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of an electrical connector trained in such a way that a simple assembly is possible.
  • an electrical connector for connection created from electrical conductors to an electrical device from a receptacle, a contact carrier, which is in the receptacle is arranged insulation displacement contacts in the contact carrier are held, and locking means by means of which the contact carrier in the receptacle is held.
  • This design allows using the contact carrier pre-assemble the insulation displacement terminals and then insert them into the receptacle, where it automatically by means of the locking means in a simple manner locked.
  • the contact carrier can be automated or by hand in the Recording socket are used.
  • the locking means can be in the form of a wart-like cam in the receiving socket be formed, which engage in an annular groove in the contact carrier.
  • This Locking means can be easily produced with plastic parts become.
  • the locking means can alternatively from a recess in the contact carrier and a mounting pin that can be inserted into the recess is.
  • the fastening pin can be attached to a plate-shaped fastening element be provided in a slot between two parallel spaced Walls of a housing of the electrical device can be inserted, wherein the mounting pin engages in the recess in the contact carrier and wherein molded the fastener on a lid of the electrical device is. In this way, the contact carrier is automatically in the receptacle set when the housing of the electrical device is closed becomes.
  • the insulation displacement contacts are preferably in receiving slots in the contact carrier held by means of latches. This enables the insulation displacement contacts just slide it into the contact carrier so that it is there automatically latch.
  • the insulation displacement contacts at their device-side connection ends with plug connections are provided so that without complex connection work such as soldering etc. Cable lugs attached or the connection ends in bores or contact springs a PCB can be inserted.
  • the insulation displacement contacts are inserted into the contact carrier, in which they automatically lock.
  • the one with the insulation displacement contacts equipped contact carrier is inserted into the socket, in which it automatically locks.
  • the contact carrier When inserting the contact carrier the terminal ends of the insulation displacement contacts automatically into them assigned contact elements inserted in the electrical device, for example in the contact springs. So it is not soldering or complex Assembly work required; the electrical connection can even can be produced on site without special tools.
  • the invention also relates to a contact carrier with insulation displacement contacts, which are held in the contact carrier and locking means, by means of which the contact carrier are held in a receptacle can, the insulation displacement contacts provided with a connection end by means of which they are inserted into a cable lug or a contact spring can be.
  • the invention further relates to an electrical device with an electrical connector as described above.
  • an electrical device 1 is shown, the housing 2 and has a cover 3.
  • a circuit board 4 is arranged inside the housing, which serves as a carrier for electronic components, not shown.
  • a plurality of contacts 5 are inserted, each resilient Have double legs.
  • a cylindrical receptacle 10 is mounted on it Inside is provided with guide ribs 12.
  • the side wall of the case 2, on which the mounting socket is attached, is double-walled,
  • a contact carrier 14 is arranged in the interior of the receptacle slot-shaped recesses 16 is provided.
  • each recess 16 is one Insulation displacement contact 18 arranged on one side with two opposite one another Insulation displacement terminals 20 and on the other hand with a pin-shaped Connection end 22 is provided.
  • Each insulation displacement contact points in the middle a locking tab 24 which cooperate with a shoulder 26 in the contact carrier 14 can.
  • the contact carrier is provided with three cutouts 28, one of which is shown in FIG. 1 only two can be seen.
  • the third recess is in relation to the upper recess mirror image of the front recess, arranged diagonally below.
  • the cover 3 of the device 1 is provided with a fastening element 29 which a locking pin 30 is arranged, which in one of the recesses 28th can intervene.
  • the insulation displacement contacts are made of metal and the contact carrier is made made of an insulating plastic.
  • the assembly of the electrical connection coming from the contact carrier with the Insulation displacement contacts and the receptacle is made in the following Way: First, the contact carrier 14 with the insulation displacement contacts 18 equipped by pushing them into the recess 16 until the locking tab 24 engages behind the shoulder 26 of the contact carrier. The insulation displacement contacts 18 are then firmly received in the contact carrier. Then the in this way equipped contact carrier from the outside in the receiving socket 10 so inserted that the connection ends 22 of the insulation displacement contacts 18 in the Extend inside the electrical device. The correct alignment of the contact carrier is ensured by the guide rib 12 with a suitable Groove in the contact carrier interacts. When inserting the contact carrier the connection ends 22 of the insulation displacement contacts between the double legs of contacts 5 inserted so that there the electrical contact done automatically.
  • the cover 3 is placed on the housing 2, the fastener 29 of the lid 2 in the space between the two side walls of the housing can dip and the locking pin 30 engages in the recess 28 in the contact carrier.
  • the recess 28 and the locking pin 30 then act as a locking means by means of which Contact carrier is held firmly in the receptacle.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 A second embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, wherein for the Components known from the first embodiment have the same reference numerals be used. In this regard, reference is made to the above explanations.
  • the electrical device is also here with a cylindrical receptacle 10 provided, in which the contact carrier 14 is inserted.
  • the insulation displacement contacts 18 are not provided with latching tabs provided, but with mounting tabs 25, by means of which they on the contact carrier 14 are attached.
  • the contact carrier 14 is in the second embodiment with an apron 38 provided which surrounds the insulation displacement contacts 20 of the insulation displacement contacts.
  • apron 38 On On the inside of the apron 38, guide ribs 40 are formed, which act as an anti-rotation device serve for a pressure part, which are pressed into the apron 38 can and the conductors to be connected in the free space between the opposite Insulation displacement 20 presses.
  • On the outside of the apron 38 a sealing ring 42 is arranged.
  • the contacts 5 have in the second Embodiment no double leg, but are as resilient socket contacts executed.
  • the locking means for fixing the contact carrier 14 in the receptacle 10 consist of an annular groove 32 in the second embodiment the outer circumference of the contact carrier 14 and of wart-shaped cams 34 the inner wall of the receptacle 10. If the with the insulation displacement contacts 18 equipped contact carrier 14 inserted into the receptacle 10 the cams 34 snap into the groove 32, an additional step 36 bears on the contact carrier 14 on the end face of the receiving connector 10. At the Pushing the contact carrier into the receptacle is the pin-shaped Terminal ends 22 of the insulation displacement contacts 18 are pushed back into the contacts 5.
