Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling element for attachment to a shielded electrical wire, the at least two insulated electrical conductors, one same surrounding, flexible metallic screen and an overlying Has jacket made of insulating material, in which the shield on a sleeve-shaped, metallic adapter is set in the insulated electrical conductor of the line protrude into which contact elements are attached to the conductors of the line, which are arranged in a contact carrier made of mechanically strong insulating material, and in which the adapter leaving its opening facing away from the line from a protruding body protruding over the line, produced by injection molding Insulating material is surrounded and a method for attaching the Coupling element on a line (DE 30 34 415 A1).
  • Coupling element in the sense of the invention can be a plug or a socket.
  • the associated contact elements can be designed as pins or sockets.
  • Shielded electrical cables are used, for example, in portable radio equipment Telephone lines, for spring lines for stationary electro-acoustic systems or also used in vehicles, ships, airplanes and especially on trains.
  • the Coupling elements should be moisture-proof in themselves. You must, too be moisture-proof connected to the respective line. In addition, the screen the line must be connected to the coupling element without interruption.
  • EP 0 128 472 A2 discloses a coupling element in which the conductor has a electrical line connected to end contacts within a cylindrical Housing arranged and fixed in the same by means of insulating material.
  • the most Housing attached to the end of the line is surrounded by an injection-molded protective body and completely filled by end contacts and insulating material.
  • the end contacts are fixed in the housing.
  • the coupling element has a block Insulating material with double-sided contact elements that can be detached from the housing is screwed on. It can be replaced when damaged contact elements are replaced should be.
  • the contact elements engage in the assembled coupling element the end contacts in the housing.
  • the invention has for its object the coupling element described above with associated procedure while maintaining a moisture-tight arrangement the cable and the uninterrupted shielding must be removable.
  • the cavity for receiving the supply lengths of the conductors is covered by a cover generated, which surrounds the conductor during the injection molding of the protective body and on lies against the wall of the adapter.
  • This coupling element is moisture-proof due to the sprayed-on protective body executed and connected to the line. Nevertheless, there is no risk of damage removable, because the plug body can be detached from the adapter by means of the sleeve.
  • the conductor of the line, which is too long when assembling the coupling element are included as supply lengths in the cavity of the adapter and there against Damage protected.
  • the supply lengths of the ladder allow when open Coupling element easy handling of the ladder with attached Contact elements.
  • the coupling element can therefore be opened at any time if necessary so that, for example, the positions of the contact elements in the contact carrier can be changed. All you need to do is turn the metal sleeve so that it is turned be that the plug body is moved out of the same.
  • the contact carrier is then available for manipulations of any kind. So it can too Measurements for troubleshooting are carried out. Then the connector body screwed back into the contact carrier by rotating the sleeve.
  • the contact carrier is neither when closing nor when opening the coupling element turned. It is only moved in the axial direction. The connected conductors are not twisted, but also only in the axial direction to the Supply lengths pushed together or stretched again.
  • the coupling element K according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is shielded at the end electrical line 1 attached. It has one made by injection molding Protective body 2, which the line 1 and a sleeve-shaped, metallic adapter A partially encloses moisture-proof.
  • the adapter A consists of two together screwable parts 3 and 4, between which in the assembled state, for example as a braid made of copper wires, flexible shield 5 of line 1 clamped is.
  • the line 1 has at least two insulated electrical conductors 6, which of the common screen 5 are surrounded.
  • the line 1 is preferably of a larger size Number of conductors 6 equipped.
  • Over the screen 5 is a jacket made of insulating material appropriate.
  • a metallic sleeve 7 captive, but freely rotatable attached to the same.
  • the sleeve 7 has a Inner thread.
  • metallic plug body 8 In the sleeve 7 is in the finished coupling element K according to FIG. 1 metallic plug body 8 by means of a threaded connector 9 belonging to the same screwed.
  • annular seal 10 Between the plug body 8 and adapter A there is an annular seal 10, for example an O-ring.
  • the connector body 8 can be part of a lock on the outside have, for example parts of a bayonet lock.
  • the coupling element K is, for example, as follows at the end of line 1 appropriate:
  • the conductor 6 is then used at the line end thus prepared tubular cover 13 pushed, which encloses the conductor 6 as tightly as possible and on the wall of the adapter A, so here on part 3 of the same.
  • the one out Fig. 3 apparent cavity H of the adapter A is then almost completely from the Cover 13 filled out.
  • The is then in an injection mold Protective body 2 around the end of line 1 and the line end of adapter A splashed.
  • the cover 13 ensures that the spray material is not in the Adapter A penetrates. In particular, its opening facing away from line 1 and the Sleeve 7 remain free of spray material.
  • the opening facing line 1 of the adapter A, through which the conductors 6 are inserted into the same, can before Injection molding of the protective body 2 can also be sealed.
  • a sealant can be applied, which is for example a Two-component cast resin or a hot melt adhesive can act.
  • the cover 13 is removed so that the cavity H results in which the conductors 6 are located.
  • the ends of the conductor 6 are then stripped. After that, the contact elements 11 attached to the conductors 6 in an electrically conductive manner, for example by crimping.
  • the Contact elements 11 are then, for example, in accordance with a predetermined scheme Through holes 14 of the contact carrier 12 inserted. Both the Marked conductor 6 or their contact elements 11 and the through holes 14 or be encoded. It is then an exact assignment of each leader to one Through hole possible.
  • the connector body 8 with the contact carrier 12 located therein is then connected to the Sleeve 7 brought up.
  • the connector body 8 with the Contact carrier 12 pulled in the direction of the adapter A.
  • the head 6 are in axially pushed together and as stock lengths in the cavity H des Adapters A stored.
  • the plug body 8 lies with his Threaded flange 9 on the seal 10.
  • an adhesive before assembly be applied to the threaded connector 9.
  • the adhesive is first softened by applying heat from the outside. Thereafter, the plug body 8 can be removed from the same by rotating the sleeve 7 be unscrewed. The conductors 6 are pushed together from her Extended the stock position. The contact elements 11 can then for a change in the position of individual or all contact elements 11 from the Contact carrier 12 removed and in the changed position again in its Through holes 14 are inserted. Then the coupling element K, reassembled as already described.
