Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Verbinder zum Anschließen von elektrischen Leitern an ein elektrisches Gerät geschaffen, bestehend aus einem Aufnahmestutzen, einem Kontaktträger, der in dem Aufnahmestutzen angeordnet ist, Schneidklemmkontakten, die in dem Kontaktträger gehalten sind, und Arretierungsmitteln, mittels denen der Kontaktträger im Aufnahmestutzen gehalten ist.The invention relates to an electrical connector for connecting electrical Ladders created on an electrical device, consisting of a receptacle, a contact carrier, which is arranged in the receptacle, Insulation displacement contacts, which are held in the contact carrier, and locking means, by means of which the contact carrier is held in the receptacle.

Ein derartiger elektrischer Verbinder ist für eine feste, durch die Nutzung von Schneidklemmkontakten jedoch auch wieder lösbare Verbindung von einem elektrischen Gerät mit einem oder mehreren elektrischen Leitem vorgesehen.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.

Aus dem Gebrauchsmuster DE 295 12 585 ist ein Leiteranschlußelement in Schneidklemmtechnik zum Anschluß von elektrischen Leitem bekannt, bei dem das Leiteranschlußelement mit einem Gewindestutzen versehen ist und zur Befestigung in eine Bohrung eines Gehäuses eingesetzt und mit einer Kontermutter fixiert wird.From the utility model DE 295 12 585 is a conductor connection element in Insulation displacement technology for connecting electrical conductors known, in which the conductor connection element is provided with a threaded connector and for attachment inserted into a hole in a housing and with a lock nut is fixed.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE 197 55 530 eine Einrichtung zur Zugentlastung elektrischer und/oder optischer Kabel bekannt, bei der die Schneidklemmen in einer entsprechenden Ausformung fest mit einem Gehäuse verbunden sind, in die ein für Schneidklemmen vorgesehenes Kabelführungsteil und ein Leiterführungsteil mit einer Überwurfmutter aufgeschraubt werden.Furthermore, 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.

Aus der EP-A-0 726 623 ist eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Bei dieser Vorrichtung werden zwei Kontakte verwendet, die mit Eindringdomen versehen sind, die in ein Kabel eingepreßt werden können. Die Kontakte sind in einem Kontaktträger gelagert, der in einen Aufriahmestutzen eingesetzt und dort von einer Überwurfmutter arretiert werden kann.From EP-A-0 726 623 is a device according to the preamble of the claim 1 known. This device uses two contacts, the are provided with penetration domes that can be pressed into a cable. The Contacts are stored in a contact carrier, which is inserted in a Aufrahmestutzen and can be locked there by a union nut.

Nachteilig wirkt sich bei den bekannten Ausführungen derartiger elektrischer Verbinder aus, daß diese in dazu vorgesehene Bohrungen in einem Gehäuse eingesetzt werden und mit einer Kontermutter festgesetzt werden müssen. Ferner können beim Eindrehen eines bereits vormontierten - mit elektrischen Leitem versehenen - Verbinders in ein mit einem Gewinde ausgebildetes Gehäuse die elektrischen Leiter verdreht werden, so daß die elektrischen Verbindungen unkontrolliert unterbrochen werden. Zudem müssen die bekannten Ausführungen bei ihrer Montage per Hand und/oder Werkzeug verschraubt werden.The known designs of such electrical connectors have a disadvantageous effect from the fact that these are used in bores provided for this purpose in a housing and must be fixed with a lock nut. Can also when screwing in a pre-assembled one - provided with electrical conductors - The connector in a threaded housing Conductors are twisted so that the electrical connections are uncontrolled to be interrupted. In addition, the known designs must be installed screwed by hand and / or tool.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Verbinder der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, daß eine einfache Montage möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of an electrical connector trained in such a way that a simple assembly is possible.

Diese Gestaltung ermöglicht, den Kontaktträger mit den Schneidklemmen vorzubestücken und dann in den Aufnahmestutzen einzuschieben, wo er mittels der Arretierungsmittel in einfacher Weise automatisch verrastet. Der Kontaktträger kann dabei automatisiert oder von Hand in den Aufnahmestutzen eingesetzt werden. Wenn das Befestigungselement an einem Deckel des elektrischen Gerätes angeformt ist, kann der Kontaktträger automatisch in dem Aufnahmestuzen festgelegt werden, wenn das Gehäuse des elektrischen Gerätes geschlossen wird. For this purpose, according to the invention in the case of an electrical connector provided that the locking means from at least there is a recess in the contact carrier and a fastening pin, which is insertable into the recess, and that the fastening pin on one plate-shaped fastener is provided and that the fastener into a slot between two parallel spaced walls in a housing of an electrical device can be inserted, the fastening pin engages in the recess in the contact carrier. This design enables the contact carrier to be pre-equipped with the insulation displacement terminals and then insert it into the socket where it is locked by means of the locking means automatically locked in a simple manner. The contact carrier can be automated or can be inserted into the intake port by hand. If molded the fastener on a lid of the electrical device is, the contact carrier can be automatically set in the support when the housing of the electrical device is closed.

Vorzugsweise sind die Schneidklemmkontakte in Aufnahmeschlitzen im Kontaktträger mittels Rastlaschen gehalten. Dies ermöglicht, die Schneidklemmkontakte einfach in den Kontaktträger einzuschieben, so daß sie dort automatisch verrasten.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 lock.

Gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Schneidklemmkontakte an ihren geräteseitigen Anschlußenden mit Steckanschlüssen versehen sind, so daß ohne aufwendige Verbindungsarbeiten wie Löten etc. Kabelschuhe aufgesteckt oder die Anschlußenden in Bohrungen oder Kontaktfedem einer Leiterplatte eingesteckt werden können. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ergibt sich ein minimaler Montageaufwand für die gesamte elektrische Verbindung. Die Schneidklemmkontakte werden in den Kontaktträger eingeschoben, in welchem sie automatisch verrasten. Der mit den Schneidklemmkontakten bestückte Kontaktträger wird in den Aufnahmestutzen eingeschoben, in welchem er automatisch verrastet. Beim Einschieben des Kontaktträgers werden die Anschlußenden der Schneidklemmkontakte automatisch in die ihnen zugeordneten Kontaktelemente im elektrischen Gerät eingeschoben, beispielsweise in die Kontaktfedem. Es sind also keine Lötarbeiten oder aufwendige Konfektionierungsarbeiten erforderlich; die elektrische Verbindung kann sogar vor Ort ohne spezielles Werkzeug hergestellt werden.According to the preferred embodiment it is provided that 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 plugged in or the connection ends in bores or contact springs can be inserted into a circuit board. In this embodiment there is a minimal assembly effort for the entire electrical Connection. 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. 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.
