Das Gehäuse, das ein Drehteil aus Metall sein kann, ist üblicherweise mit einem Kontaktträger versehen, der mit mehreren Schneidklemmkontakten bestückt ist. Die Schneidklemmkontakte sind an einem Ende als Schneidklemmen ausgebildet und am anderen Ende als Kontaktabschnitt. In die Schneidklemmen kann ein anzuschließendes Kabel derart eingepreßt werden, daß dessen Isolation durchschnitten und die innenliegenden Adern kontaktiert werden. Mit dem Kontaktabschnitt ist üblicherweise ein Kabel verlötet. Das Gehäuse zusammen mit dem Kontaktträger wird üblicherweise vergossen.The housing, which can be a turned part made of metal, is usually with a Provide contact carrier, which is equipped with several insulation displacement contacts is. The insulation displacement contacts are designed as insulation displacement terminals at one end and at the other end as a contact section. Can in the insulation displacement clamps a cable to be connected is pressed in such a way that its insulation is cut and the inner wires are contacted. With the contact section a cable is usually soldered. The housing together with the Contact carriers are usually cast.

Der Nachteil besteht dabei darin, daß für das Anlöten der Kabel an die Kontaktabschnitte der Schneidklemmkontakte eine gewisse Montagezeit erforderlich ist. Weiterhin ist das Vergießen des Kontaktträgers mit dem Gehäuse vergleichsweise zeitaufwendig, da Warte- und Trocknungszeiten erforderlich sind.The disadvantage is that for soldering the cable to the contact sections the insulation displacement contacts require a certain assembly time is. Furthermore, the casting of the contact carrier with the housing is comparative time-consuming because waiting and drying times are required.

Aus der DE-A-299 15 553 ist ein Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, bei dem das Gehäuse und das Halteelement während der Herstellung miteinander vergossen werden, so daß ein Steckersteil gebildet ist. Das von den Schneidklemmkontakten abgewandte Ende des Anschlußkontakts ist als Buchse ausgeführt, in die Stiftkontakte eines komplementären Steckerteils eingesteckt werden können. From DE-A-299 15 553 is a connector of the type mentioned known in which the housing and the holding element during manufacture be potted together so that a plug part is formed. That of the Insulation displacement contacts opposite end of the connection contact is as a socket executed, inserted into the pin contacts of a complementary connector part can be.

Allgemein ausgedrückt ist erfindungsgemäß für jeden Schneidklemmkontakt ein Zwischenelement vorgesehen, nämlich der Anschlußkontakt, der auf den Kontaktabschnitt des Schneidklemmkontaktes aufgepreßt ist und daher den bisher erforderlichen Lötvorgang überflüssig macht. Durch die Verwendung eines Halteelementes für die Anschlußkontakte, das mit dem Gehäuse fest verrasten kann, ist kein Vergießen mehr erforderlich. Das an den Schneidklemmkontakt anzuschließende Kabel kann entweder in die Anschlußhülse eingelötet sein, oder die Anschlußhülse kann auf das Kabel aufgecrimpt sein. Auf diese Weise können auch vorkonfektionierte Bauteile hergestellt werden. Zum Anschließen der Kabel an die Schneidklemmkontakte ist es dann lediglich erforderlich, das Halteelement in das Gehäuse einzurasten.For this purpose, according to the invention, the module mentioned at the beginning Kind provided that the connection contact a connection section has, with a cable to be connected to the insulation displacement contact can be connected, and that the holding element is firmly latched to the housing.

Die Funktion der Rastnut wird später erläutert. Im Gehäuse 10 ist ein Kontaktträger 12 angeordnet, in welchem vier Schneidklemmkontakte 14 eingesetzt sind. Von den Schneidklemmkontakten ist in den Figuren 1 bis 3 im wesentlichen nur ein Kontaktabschnitt 16 zu sehen, der hier als Kontaktstift ausgeführt ist. Am entgegengesetzten, im Inneren des Gehäuses 10 liegenden Ende ist jeder Schneidklemmkontakt als Schneidklemme ausgebildet. In die Schneidklemme kann ein anzuschließendes Kabel eingepreßt werden, wobei die Schneidklemme die Isolation des Kabels durchschneidet und dessen Ader kontaktiert. Das Gehäuse kann als Wanddurchführung verwendet werden. 1 to 4 is an assembly according to a first embodiment shown. The assembly includes a housing 10, one on the outside Locking groove 11 is formed. The function of the locking groove will be explained later. In the housing 10 a contact carrier 12 is arranged, in which four insulation displacement contacts 14 are used. 1 of the insulation displacement contacts to 3 see essentially only one contact section 16, here as a contact pin is executed.

Mindestens das Halteelement 20 und der Kontaktträger 12 bestehen aus elektrisch isolierendem Kunststoff. Das Gehäuse 10 kann je nach Anwendungsfall ebenfalls aus Kunststoff oder auch aus Metall bestehen.At least the holding element 20 and the contact carrier 12 consist of electrical insulating plastic. The housing 10 can, depending on the application also consist of plastic or metal.

Zur Montage der Anschlußkontakte 22 an den Kontaktabschnitten der Schneidklemmkontakte wird das Halteelement 20 so auf das Gehäuse 10 aufgeschoben, daß jeder Aufpreßabschnitt 24 eines Anschlußkontaktes 22 auf den Kontaktabschnitt eines Schneidklemmkontaktes aufgepreßt wird. Dies gewährleistet einen guten elektrischen Kontakt. Beim Aufpressen des Halteelementes 20 auf das Gehäuse 10 rastet der Rastkragen 21 in die Rastnut 11 im Gehäuse 10 ein, so daß das Halteelement 20 fest am Gehäuse 10 angebracht ist.To mount the connection contacts 22 on the contact sections of the Insulation displacement contacts, the holding element 20 is pushed onto the housing 10 in such a way that each pressing section 24 of a contact 22 on the Contact section of an insulation displacement contact is pressed. This ensures good electrical contact. When the holding element 20 is pressed on the locking collar 21 snaps into the locking groove 11 in the housing 10, so that the holding element 20 is fixedly attached to the housing 10.

Schließlich kann auf das Halteelement 20 eine Kontermutter 30 aufgesetzt werden, die am Gehäuse 10 befestigt wird. Auf die entgegengesetzte Seite des Gehäuses kann eine Druckschraube 32 aufgeschraubt werden, mittels der ein Druckteil so auf die Schneidklemmen aufgedrückt wird, das im Druckteil geführte Kabel in die Schneidklemmen der Schneidklemmkontakte eingepreßt werden. Dies ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, so daß es hier nicht weiter beschrieben wird. Finally, a lock nut 30 can be placed on the holding element 20 be attached to the housing 10. On the opposite side of the A pressure screw 32 can be screwed on by means of the housing Pressure part is pressed onto the insulation displacement clamps in the way that is guided in the pressure part Cables are pressed into the insulation displacement contacts of the insulation displacement contacts. This is known from the prior art, so that it is not further described here becomes.

In den Figuren 5 bis 9 ist eine Baugruppe gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform gezeigt. Diese unterscheidet sich von der ersten Ausführungsform im wesentlichen durch die Art der Anschlußabschnitte 28 der Anschlußkontakte 22 sowie durch die Art der Anbringung des Halteelementes 20 am Gehäuse 10.5 to 9 is an assembly according to a second embodiment shown. This differs essentially from the first embodiment by the type of connection sections 28 of the contacts 22 and by the type of attachment of the holding element 20 to the housing 10.

Auch bei der zweiten Ausführungsform sind die Schneidklemmkontakte mit Schneidklemmen 18 (siehe Figur 5) versehen. Die auf der entgegengesetzten Seite der Schneidklemmkontakte angebrachten Anschlußkontakte 22 weisen Anschlußabschnitte 28 auf, die hier als Crimphülse ausgeführt ist. In Figur 7 sind die Anschlußabschnitte in einem auf jeweils ein Kabel 34 aufgecrimpten Zustand zu sehen; die Anschlußabschnitte 28 sind aus ihrem Ausgangszustand mit zylindrischer Außenkontur in einen Querschnitt mit sechseckiger Außenkontur umgeformt.The insulation displacement contacts are also in the second embodiment Provide insulation displacement clamps 18 (see FIG. 5). The one on the opposite side of the insulation displacement contacts attached terminal contacts 22 have connecting sections 28 on, which is designed here as a crimp sleeve. In Figure 7 are the connector sections to be seen in a state crimped onto one cable 34 at a time; the connecting portions 28 are cylindrical from their initial state Outer contour formed into a cross section with a hexagonal outer contour.

Wie in Figur 9 zu sehen ist, ist der Rastkragen 21 des Halteelementes 20 so ausgeführt, daß er in das Innere des Gehäuses 10 eingeschoben werden kann. Dabei rastet ein Bund 36 auf dem Rastkragen 21 in die im Gehäuse 10 ausgebildete Rastnut 11 ein. Das Halteelement 20 ist dann fest im Gehäuse 10 aufgenommen.As can be seen in FIG. 9, the locking collar 21 of the holding element 20 is like this executed that it can be inserted into the interior of the housing 10. there snaps a collar 36 on the locking collar 21 in the formed in the housing 10 Locking groove 11 a. The holding element 20 is then firmly accommodated in the housing 10.

Durch die Verwendung einer Rastverbindung zwischen dem Halteelement 20, das mit den Anschlußkontakten versehen ist, und dem Gehäuse 10, das mit den Schneidklemmkontakten versehen ist, ergibt sich eine größere Flexibilität bei der Montage des Gehäuses 10. Es ist nun nicht mehr erforderlich, die anzuschließenden Kabel einzeln mit den Anschlußabschnitten der Schneidklemmkontakte zu verlöten. Statt dessen wird das Halteelement mit den Anschlußkontakten mit dem Gehäuse 10 verrastet. Das Halteelement kann vorkonfektioniert mit verschiedenen Kabeln in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bereitgehalten werden, so daß nur noch das jeweils gewünschte Halteelement ausgewählt werden muß. Alternativ können vor Ort die anzuschließenden Kabel in die Anschlußabschnitte der Anschlußkontakte eingecrimpt werden, und dann kann das Halteelement mit den daran angebrachten Kabeln in das Gehäuse 10 eingeschoben werden. By using a snap connection between the holding element 20, which is provided with the contacts, and the housing 10, which with the Insulation displacement contacts is provided, there is greater flexibility in the Assembly of the housing 10. It is now no longer necessary to connect the Cables individually with the connection sections of the insulation displacement contacts to solder. Instead, the holding element with the connection contacts locked with the housing 10. The holding element can be pre-assembled with different cables in different designs are selected so that only the desired holding element is selected must become. Alternatively, the cables to be connected can be plugged in the terminal portions of the terminals are crimped, and then can the holding element with the cables attached to it inserted into the housing 10 become.
