Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular for sensor technology, with a contact carrier made of insulating material, with contact channels for receiving individual contacts, furthermore with a grip body connected to the contact carrier and a with electrical components, in particular LED, equipped printed circuit board with platinum openings for contacting with the contacts on the one hand, on the other hand, each with a wire of an electrical Connecting line are connected, according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • Connectors of this type are available in various designs known.
  • the integrated in the connector electrical components are part of a circuit that helps in particular Function and operating state should be displayed. Serve this purpose different LEDs as signal displays.
  • the printed circuit board with their components in a handle body of translucent or transparent plastic, commonly referred to as Encapsulation of the contact carrier or the handle body is formed.
  • DE 42 22 685 C2 discloses, from the present Invention assumes a connector in which the connection the contacts with the circuit board and the connection of the conductor wires already simplified to the contacts are executed.
  • the rear portions of the contacts as insulation displacement forks in which the wire ends after bending by 90 ° from their in the connector opening direction are pressed, wherein the insulation displacement forks are the Isolierumhüllung the wire ends cut and dig into the veins, with what a mechanically and electrically reliable connection is made.
  • the printed circuit board with its plated-through platinum openings on the lead terminal side insulation displacement contact ends the contacts pressed on.
  • the preassembled module overmoulded with a thermoplastic material.
  • the object of the present invention is a further simplification and improvement of a connector of the initially assumed Art.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features of Claim 1 and is accordingly characterized in that in the contact carrier or in the handle body a receptacle for the printed circuit board is formed, in their position-appropriate position, the platinum openings aligned with the contact channels that the wires on the run away from the contact channels side of the circuit board and that every contact backward one the board breaks has sweeping section, whose end as a tip to penetrate is formed in a strand of the wire.
  • This embodiment of the invention leads to a series advantages or possibilities of useful further education.
  • the Assembly of the connector is simplified insofar as the Strands without bending only to be inserted into core channels need.
  • the contacts the first the platinum breakthroughs of pass through in the recess positionally held printed circuit board and only then intervene in the wire strands, provide for a very secure prefixing of all components before they together to be overmoulded.
  • the platinum breakthrough cross sections of the Contacts are advantageously in the sense of stable mechanical as also electrical connection equipped with an elastic press-fit zone, via which the contacts with the soffit of the through-contacted Platinum breakthroughs a force or clamping connection received.
  • the handle body one-piece cohesive component of the contact carrier and has Channels for inserting insulated leads of the connecting lead, the traverse the contact channels in the contact carrier. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the contacts from an ineffective position within the Contact channels are displaceable in a contact position in which the indenting tip is located in the strand held in the vein channel.
  • handle body and contact carrier gives the particular advantage that in the course of assembly the connector no special handle body is more form.
  • the electrical contact by moving the contacts in the Contact channels result in a very simple way the Eindringpitzen the contacts penetrate into the respective cores soul and can make contact.
  • the Handle body includes a large cross-section funnel with to Core channels leading conductor insertion bevels. This makes it possible The strands of a multicore cable by hand to quite simple Way to "thread" in the contact carrier, whereupon the strands their Find a way to its intended destination by itself, because they are safe and reliable along the funnel surfaces be guided
  • a generally designated 10 connector includes First, a contact carrier 11, where appropriate, a union nut 12 (Fig. 4 and 5) is rotatably mounted, and a handle body 13.
  • the contact carrier 11 forms with the handle body 13 at Embodiment a material unit material-cohesive component out. This component is numbered 18 in its entirety and will hereinafter referred to as base body.
  • Each contact channel 17 serves to receive a contact 16, the executed in the illustrated embodiment as a fork contact is, however, e.g. could also be a tube contact.
  • each contact 16 At the rear or inner end of each contact 16 is a per se known Eindringspitze 28 formed, which penetrate the Isolierumhüllung a vein 14 and to penetrate into their soul (Litz) is determined. In an area behind the indenting tip 28 is in each case a spreading spring acting, known per se elastic Press-in zone 28 is formed.
  • the handle body 13 Due to the configuration of the handle body 13 as a sleeve component the handle body 13 has a relatively large internal cavity 19 on.
  • This cavity 19 forms the conductor connection side a large cross-section funnel with inclined surfaces 20, which as Aderein Industriesschrägvid serve, if in each case a wire 14 in one their associated vein channel 34 is inserted.
  • the Pole number of the connector is a corresponding number of such Core channels provided in the base body 18.
  • a pocket-like receptacle 25 one from the front of the base body 18 ago heriebende printed circuit board 22 receives and montage perfume Holding position.
  • the contacts 11 are in an inoperative position within the respective guide channel 17 is located.
  • These are not in the figures shown position is characterized in that the Eindringpitze 27 not yet or not essential from the guide channel 17 after inside (i.e., upward with respect to the figure).
  • the assembly of the connector 10 now begins so that the printed circuit board 22 in the receptacle 25 in the base body 18th is inserted.
  • her montagerober position in her provided through-contacted platinum openings 24 (see Fig. 2 to 4) with the longitudinal center axis of the Eindringpitze 27 and the elastic Press-in zone 28 is aligned.
  • a viewing window 30 through which one Functional state of located on the printed circuit board 22 LED 23rd (other components are labeled 32 and 33) can recognize.
