Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable connector, in particular a multi-pole Cable connector, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1,
  • a cable connector is known from EP-A-0 886 156.
  • This Cable connector has a cable receiving part, in which individual strands for axial Contacting their plug-side end sections by the contact spikes trained cable-side end portions are inserted. When inserting penetrate the Needlessp mane axially in the individual strands, so that thereby contacting will be produced.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a cable connector of the above mentioned type for the connection of any configured single or multi-core stranded cable to create, in which the permanent secure contact is ensured.
  • the contact means is a cutting clamp, the Cable end so sets in the cable receiving part, that after connection under mechanical preload is.
  • a cutting clamp ensures that the cable end quickly and easily, d. h., without much preparation like Stripping, can be used in the cable receiving part.
  • the cutting clamp ensures during assembly that the outer insulation of the cable end is slit and making electrical contact with the core of the cable.
  • the Cutting clamp the cable end so fixed in the cable receiving part, that it after the electrical connection is under a permanent mechanical bias, is also the permanent secure contact ensured, because of this Biasing the cable end is always pressed in the direction of the insulation displacement terminal or vice versa.
  • the cable connector can be used for only a single core cable, but of course also for several individual cables as well as for a single multi-pole cable. On the Type of cable connector (round, square or the like) does not come at.
  • the cable receiving part has a line chamber, which is larger in cross section than the cross section of the cable. For one thing thereby the cable end during insertion into the cable receiving part along the Conduction chamber led. At the same time, the cable end after settling in the Cable receiving part the possibility of contacting the insulation displacement terminal to move slightly, whereby the mechanical preload arises. in the Penetration or contacting area, especially in the X-Y plane, no Guide the cable end along a defined path required, creating a simple design of the cable receiving part and its equipment is given.
  • One Another advantage is the use of different thickness cable ends.
  • the conduit chamber tapers in its end region (Contact area).
  • this taper is a transverse arrangement of the Cable end-kinking direction causes, whereby a further alignment of the cable end to the spring direction of the insulation displacement clamp is no longer necessary.
  • this taper can by this taper (wedge-shaped design) of the line chamber with this Cable ends (wires) of different diameters are equipped. at different diameters, the taper causes a guide of the cable end in the direction that the cable end occupies such a position in which it reliably from the cutting terminal can be penetrated.
  • the cable receiving part has a clamping sleeve.
  • These Clamping sleeve can either after insertion of the cable end in the cable receiving part be used or even at the introduction of the cable end in the line chamber be inserted and penetrated by the cable end.
  • the clamping sleeve is in particular by machine set and thus fixes the position of the cable end with respect to the cable receiving part.
  • the clamping wedges as Designed barbs that hold after inserting the cable end of this.
  • this assembly step can be taken to ensure that that piece of Cable end, which is located in the line chamber, under a certain mechanical preload is available.
  • the insulation displacement terminal in a IDC receiving means arranged and the IDC receiving means connectable to the cable receiving part.
  • the cable end be inserted and fixed in the cable receiving part, wherein then the Cutting terminal by feeding the cutting terminal receiving means in the lower Area of the line chamber penetrates and causes the contact there.
  • Both the cable receiving part and the cutting terminal receiving means are connected to each other connected (eg by clipping, screwing, welding, gluing or The like), so that the finished cable connector is formed.
  • the insulation displacement terminal points on its side facing away from the contact area connecting means such as pins, Contact sockets or the like on. These can be exposed or concentric be surrounded by a part of the insulation displacement receiving means.
  • the line chamber has a diamond-shaped Cross-section on.
  • the center lines of the insulation displacement terminal and the Line chamber aligned, arranged parallel or inclined to each other.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cable connector 1 with a cable receiving part 2, in which a Cable end 3 can be introduced.
  • a conduit chamber 4 is present whose cross-section (in particular diameter) slightly larger than the diameter of the cable end 3.
  • an opening 5 is provided by the one to descriptive cutting clamp can be introduced into the line chamber 4.
  • a clamping sleeve 6 is present, the one Has in the axial direction (Z direction) extending clamping wedge 7.
  • the clamping wedge has such an extent and extent that it is the remaining space of the Cross-section of the conduit chamber 4, which is not filled by the cable end 3, at least partially and in addition sufficient pressure on the Can exert cable end 3.
  • Figure 2 shows the cable connector 1 in cross-section A-A according to Figure 1.
  • this Figur is the diamond-shaped cross-section of the conduit chamber 4 to recognize, with the Dimensions d and D, d. h., The extension of the diamond-shaped line chamber 4 in the X or Y direction, are different from each other.
  • the conduction chamber 4 has the rhombic shape and the equation d equals D. is satisfied.
  • the conduit chamber 4 in Cross section a round, an oval, a square, a rectangular or has such a cross-section, which is a combination of said geometric Represents cross sections.
