Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug with a sleeve and with an insulating body arranged in the use position in the sleeve and with elongated, pin-like contacts - contact pins or contact sockets - the holes or bores of the insulating body m in the use position are fixed by means of projections, which m transversely to the longitudinal direction of the contacts on these located groove-like depressions, the holes or bores with the elongated contacts on a concentric to the center of the sleeve or the insulating body and thus m the same distance from the inside of the sleeve or the surface of the insulating body, a further contact inside the imaginary cylinder is arranged parallel to the other contacts within a hole or bore.
  • Such electrical plugs are known and have proven themselves because the contacts are fixed and held in the axial direction when the plug is plugged together with or released from a counterpart, which is often associated with overcoming clamping forces through which the contacts m be subjected to a force in their longitudinal direction.
  • the insulating body is designed in several parts in order to be able to fix the contacts with their depressions to corresponding projections within the insulating body when the latter is disassembled. This means that it must then be put together, so that both the manufacture and the assembly are considered to be complex.
  • Another known solution provides protrusions made in one piece with the insulating body, which when inserting the pin-like First dodge contacts and then snap into the recesses on the contacts. This requires a correspondingly elastic material and, moreover, complex shapes are required to produce such an insulating body.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrical connector of the type mentioned, m is simple to manufacture and with a one-piece design of the insulating body, the determination of the contacts, be it contact pins or contact sockets, by means of depressions and projections engaging therein in a simple manner allows.
  • the connector mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the insulating body has at least one circumferential and outwardly open groove on its outside, which has the perforations or bores for the contacts over a part of their radial extent facing the outside of the insulating body Side cuts or penetrates, and that the groove on the insulating body is arranged at the level at which the depressions of the contacts are in the position of use, that a locking or holding ring made of insulating material and extending over at least part of the entire circumference of the insulating body is provided is the m fits the groove of the insulating body and at the same time engages in the position of use as a projection m the recesses of the contacts, and that the retaining ring carries at least one inwardly projecting retaining tongue, which in the position of use m a channel or opening extending inwards from the groove h engages and protrudes into the recess of the further contact located inside the imaginary cylinder and the hole or bore receiving it.
  • a one-piece and one-piece insulating body can be provided, with which corresponding holes or Bores for inserting the pin-like contacts are arranged, the projections fixing these contacts in the axial direction being formed by a common retaining ring which runs around a groove of the insulating body which intersects or slightly penetrates the holes or bores of the contacts, so that the m of these Groove located retaining ring m can engage the depressions of the contacts located at the same height.
  • a multipart structure of the insulating body or complex molded projections on the insulating body for axially fixing the contacts are avoided.
  • the retaining ring extends only over a pitch circle and its two free ends can be moved apart at least so far that their distance m this deformed state corresponds to the diameter of the insulating body in the region of the bottom of the groove.
  • the retaining ring is thus interrupted and has two free ends and can be bent open in such a way that, despite its function surrounding the insulating body m of the groove m in the position of use, it can first be plugged on from the side.
  • This retaining ring which can be bent open due to its elasticity, then snaps into the groove in the position of use in the groove due to the elasticity and the resulting restoring force and is thereby already fixed.
  • its elasticity also allows it to dodge something again when the contacts are inserted into their perforations, which the retaining ring engages somewhat.
  • the groove-like depressions running around the elongated contacts or contact pins are each delimited by a collar or the like projecting radially from the contact area and this collar has a bevel or a cone on the side facing away from the depression, who when inserting the Contact m runs its hole against the retaining ring and deflects it radially outwards until the recess of the contact m matches the groove of the insulating body, so that the retaining ring then automatically engages the recess of the contact, thus axially defining the contact. It follows from this that the actual contact area of the contact has a smaller cross section than this collar and the part of the contact which extends to the other side.
  • One of the contacts arranged on an imaginary cylinder can be designed as a ground contact and be released from the retaining ring, and this ground contact can engage the groove on the contact with the groove of the insulating body and engage the depression in the position of use m and, in particular, engage the contact latching with spring arms conductive retaining spring or the like can be fixed in the axial direction.
  • This arrangement is advantageous in several respects because such a connector generally requires a ground contact. The presence of this grounding contact is exploited so that the retaining ring only has to extend over part of the circumference of the insulating body, that is to say, it is correspondingly little to bend open during assembly, which reduces or avoids the risk of this retaining ring breaking during its assembly.
  • the holder of the ground contact namely a retaining spring, can also form the ground contact connection.
  • the free ends of the retaining ring are arranged in the position of use on both sides of the grounding contact at a distance from this.
  • the inwardly projecting retaining tongue which penetrates a corresponding opening or channel in the insulating body, ensures the exact and correct positioning of the retaining ring.
  • the retaining ring In the final position of use, the retaining ring is secured against unintentional bending by the sleeve accommodating the insulating body, which generally forms the connector housing.
  • the retaining spring for the ground contact can consist of metal or electrically conductive plastic and in particular have a bead or protrusion on the outside, which in the position of use the surface of the insulating body at least by the play of the insulating body relative to the sleeve and / or the play of the retaining spring in the groove of the insulating body protrudes.
  • Electrically conductive plastic can also be such a plastic, which is coated on the outside with metal or vapor-coated.
  • the retaining spring also protrudes slightly in the position of use over the surface of the insulating body, so that there is an electrical clamping contact for the grounding contact, as a rule, with the metallic sleeve, so that further measures for connecting the grounding contact are not required ,
  • the groove arranged on the insulating body proves to be advantageous because, in addition to the retaining ring, it can also easily accommodate the retaining spring for the ground contact and keep it in contact with the outer sleeve.
  • the cross-section of the retaining ring can approximately fill the cross-section of the groove in the position of use or at least the radial extension or width of the retaining ring can correspond to that of the groove and the sleeve receiving the insulating body can accordingly determine the position of use of the retaining ring.
  • the outer circumferential side of the retaining ring practically forms a continuation of the outer surface or circumferential surface of the insulating body, ie the retaining ring can be approximately flush with the surface of the insulating body in the position of use.
  • the already mentioned, radially inwardly projecting retaining tongue of the retaining ring can have a concave shape on its end face and can thereby be at least partially adapted to the peripheral shape of the contact to be held by it at the bottom of its depression.
  • the end face of the retaining tongue can thus have a concave curvature with the radius of curvature which corresponds to the radius of the contact within its depression, so that there is the largest possible contact surface between the retaining tongue and this contact and the contact is partially encompassed by this retaining tongue.
  • the area of the retaining tongue, which engages the recess of the contact and ensures the axial fixing, is correspondingly large.
  • the retaining ring can wrap more than 180 ° of the insulating body within the groove, which preferably surrounds the entire circumference thereof. Since the retaining ring does not have to run over the entire circumference, the groove does not necessarily have to run continuously, but this is expedient and simpler for production. Wrapping through more than 180 ° causes the retaining ring to allow the aforementioned automatic fixing to the insulating body before the outer sleeve encloses the arrangement and prevents and blocks the retaining ring from escaping from the groove of the insulating body. But it would also be conceivable to assemble the retaining ring from sections which are clamped in the groove and are finally fixed by the sleeve.
  • the free ends of the one-piece retaining ring can be bevelled against one another in such a way that they can be pushed on or
  • the sleeve enclosing the insulating body can consist of metal and form the housing of the plug, if necessary carry a thread on the outside. As a result, this sleeve receives a corresponding additional function in a manner known per se, by fixing the insulating body and the retaining ring and thus also the contacts on the inside and, on the other hand, interacting with the ground contact and, as a mounting part, a housing or a grip part or the like can be screwed in ,
  • the sleeve can have positioning projections or recesses on its inside and the insulating body can have deformations that match it, which define the preselected rotational position when the insulating body is inserted axially. As a result, the contact pins then receive their precise positioning relative to the sleeve.
  • an axial cut that is effective in the axial direction can be provided, behind which, seen in the insertion direction, at least one radially resilient or compressible latching tongue protruding from the insulating body in the radial direction fits and can be pivoted resiliently.
  • the axial position is automatically determined by such a latching tongue and no further measures for the axial fixing of the insulating body within the sleeve are necessary, although they would also be possible. In any case, the axial position of the insulating body within the sleeve is also predetermined and fixed.
  • the latching tongue which is elastically flexible or deformable in the radial direction, can be pivotable about a pivot axis running parallel to the central axis of the insulating body or the plug and can extend in the circumferential direction of the insulating body.
  • Locking tongues are often known which extend in the axial or insertion direction and can be pivoted about corresponding transverse axes. By arranging the latching tongue approximately in the circumferential direction, it can have a relatively large length and width and thus establish a large-area connection to the interior behind the sleeve cut of the sleeve.
  • the elastically deformable latching tongue can adjoin the groove with a side face and limit the groove, and the retaining ring or retaining spring can lock the elastically flexible latching tongue against axial deformation in the position of use. Since the latching tongue is flexible in the radial direction, a certain axial deformation cannot be completely ruled out with corresponding forces, but this is advantageously prevented by the retaining ring or retaining spring in the groove of the insulating body. This gives the retaining ring another one Function .
  • the latching tongue can have a latching projection on its outside, the radial extent of which is equal to or less than the deformation path of the latching tongue in the radial direction. This protrusion jumps behind the sleeve cutout when the sleeve is inserted and ensures the axial fixation.
  • the width of the retaining ring i.e. its radial dimension, is adapted to the radial distance of the outwardly facing surface of a contact or contact pin from the outside of the insulating body and that the width of the retaining ring is larger in the region of thin contact pins or contact sockets than in the area of thicker contact pins or contact sockets.
  • the width of the retaining ring can therefore vary in its circumference and can be adapted to how far the respective contact is located on the outer surface of the insulating body due to its own dimensions.
  • an electrical connector with which a one-piece insulating body can accommodate the large number of contact pins and this axial direction is fixed by a common retaining ring, although at least one of the contacts is arranged within an imaginary cylinder.
  • the basic shape of the insulating body is simple because no protrusions integrally formed on it are required to fix the contacts.
  • the individual parts used are easy to manufacture and the entire assembly is also simple and quick to carry out and yet effective and ensures an accurate position of the individual contacts within the connector housing and relative to each other.

  • FIG. 1 and 2 m of individual parts has a sleeve 2 forming its housing and an insulating body 3 arranged and fixed in the position of use m of this sleeve 2, as well as elongated, pin-like contacts 4, which according to F ⁇ g.1 to 4 and 6 to 10 contact pins and according to Fig.5 can be contact sockets, in which the mating connector thus has pins.
  • the insulating body 3 contains holes or bores 6, with which the contacts 4, as will be described, are fixed by means of projections, which engage in groove-like depressions 7 located transversely to the longitudinal direction of the contacts 4, the holes or bores 6 with the elongated ones or pin-like contacts 4 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 or also according to FIGS. 9 and 10, for example on a cylinder intended concentrically to the center of the sleeve 2 or the insulating body 3 and thus m the same distance from the inside of the sleeve 2 or the outer or surface 3a of the Insulating body 3 are.

  • This groove 8 is arranged on the insulating body 3 m of the height or axial distance from its end faces, which are the recesses 7 of the contacts 4 in the position of use, so that the groove 8 after the insertion of the contacts 4 m practically their position of use groove-like depressions 4 continues.
  • the connector 1 also includes an insulating material existing, at least over a part of the entire circumference of the insulating body 3 locking or retaining ring 9, which m fits the groove 8 of the insulating body 3 and the position of use according to FIGS. 7 to 10 simultaneously engages the recesses 7 of the contacts 4 as the projection which m defines their position of use axially.

  • the retaining ring 9 with the aid of this retaining tongue 10 can not only fix the contacts 4 located on a common cylinder, but also an intermediate contact 41 m in the axial direction, so that no locking projections attached to the insulating body 3 itself are required for such an axial fixing are or the insulating body 3 would have to be divided.
