Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connector of the type mentioned, in which a reduction in insulation resistance due to water or contamination is practically excluded. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • the subclaims indicate advantageous embodiments of the invention.
  • the basic idea of the invention is the design of the connector such that when the plug is plugged in, the contact pin and the insulation zone are rinsed, the contaminants that have occurred despite the seal being removed. Moving fresh oil into the isolation zone ensures reliable isolation even after repeated plugging.
  • Fig. 2 is an isolated representation of a contact socket
  • Fig. 3 is a representation corresponding to Fig. 2, in which a contact pin is inserted into the contact socket.
  • the socket part of an electrical connector shown in FIG. 1 has a housing 2, the end face of which is closed by a front plate 1.
  • a contact socket 7 is arranged in the housing (in practice a plurality of such contact sockets 7 will be provided), which is aligned with an opening in the plate 1, which is used to insert the contact pin of the associated plug part.
  • An interior space 29 is formed around the contact socket 7 and is connected to a non- conductive fluid - especially an oil - is filled.
  • An outer space 9 is formed between the housing 2 and the outer membrane 4 and communicates with the ambient water via a pressure compensation bore 8.
  • the part of the socket part facing away from plate 1 is formed by a rear contact 11, a potting receptacle 13 and a potting 14.
  • the contact socket 7, of which only one is present in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but a large number will be provided in practice, is designed in the form of a cylindrical sleeve.
  • This consists of a sealing sleeve 15, which is designed with an O-ring contour, O-ring seals 16, an outlet valve 17, a front contact 18, a front contact carrier 21, on which a socket contact lamella 20 is formed, an inlet valve 24 , which are arranged in the rear region of the contact socket 7, a rear contact carrier 26, a solder contact 27 and a cable strand 28.
  • a compression spring 22 is inserted, which acts on a sliding piston 6, which in the cylindrical interior, which is formed by the sealing sleeve 15, the front contact 18 and the front contact carrier 21, between the position shown in Fig. 2 and the position shown in Fig. 3 is slidably disposed.
  • the inner diameter of the sealing sleeve 15 corresponds to the diameter of the sliding piston 6 (and the diameter of the contact pin of the plug part of the plug connector which corresponds to this).
  • the inner diameter of the front contact 18, however, is larger than the diameter of the sliding piston 6, so that an annular space 19 is formed between the shaft of the sliding piston 6 and the front contact 18.
  • a contact pin of the plug part is attached to the opening in the front plate 1 to establish a plug connection, its end face abutting against the outwardly facing end face of the sliding piston 6 and the contact pin then being pressed into the contact socket 7, the sliding piston 6 becomes in the space penetrate the contact socket 7 followed by the contact pin.
  • the sliding piston 6 displaces oil from the oil-filled space of the contact socket 7, which flows through the annular space 19 past the shaft of the sliding piston against the direction of movement of the sliding piston. During this process, the oil located in the socket contact area is exchanged, impurities are flushed into the space 29 through the valve 17.
  • the membrane 5 is designed so that the interior 29 can hold an additional amount of fluid, which corresponds to the volume of the contact pin penetrating into the contact socket.
  • the interior 29 can accommodate a hydrophilic material that retains water that has been introduced into the interior 29, that is to say prevents water from being re-introduced into the space of the contact socket 7 even after many plugging operations.
  • the sliding piston 6 can be provided with a circumferential annular groove which transports the oil from the annular space 19.
