Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen mehrpoligen elektrischen Anschlussverbinder zur Befestigung in einer Montageöffnung einer Gehäusewand eines elektrischen Gerätes, insbesondere einer Gehäusewand eines Leuchtengehäuses.The invention relates to a multi-pole electrical connector for attachment in an assembly opening of a housing wall of an electrical device, in particular a housing wall of a lamp housing.

Elektrische Leuchten sind üblicherweise über Anschluss- oder Abzweigleitungen mit einer externen Versorgungsleitung verbunden. Die Anschlussleitung ist dabei über einen mehrpoligen elektrischen Anschlussverbinder an die Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen. Der Anschluss der Abzweigleitung an die Leuchte erfolgt üblicherweise dadurch, dass die externen Leitungen in einem ersten Arbeitsgang durch die Gehäusewand des Leuchtengehäuses hindurch geführt werden müssen und die Leitungsenden der Anschlussleitung bzw. deren Leiterendhülsen vor Ort an die sich im Inneren des Gehäuses befindende Anschlussklemme angeschlossen werden. In der Praxis bedeutet dies, dass das Anschließen der Abzweigleitung an die Leuchte einen hohen manuellen Aufwand erfordert.Electric lights are usually via connecting or branch lines connected to an external supply line. The connection line is included via a multi-pole electrical connector to the supply line connected. The branch line is connected to the luminaire usually in that the external lines in a first operation must be passed through the housing wall of the luminaire housing and the line ends of the connection line or their conductor end sleeves on site connected to the connection terminal located inside the housing become. In practice, this means connecting the branch line to the lamp requires a lot of manual effort.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen besonders einfachen und schnellen Anschluss eines elektrischen Gerätes, insbesondere einer Leuchte, an eine elektrische Versorgungsleitung zu ermöglichen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Anschlussverbinder nach Anspruch 1 bzw. durch ein Anschlusssystem nach Anspruch 8 gelöst.The invention has for its object a particularly simple and quick connection of an electrical device, especially a lamp to enable an electrical supply line. This task is accomplished by a connector according to claim 1 or by a connection system Claim 8 solved.

Der erfindungsgemäße Anschlussverbinder zur Befestigung in einer Montageöffnung einer Gehäusewand eines elektrischen Gerätes weist eine Anzahl von auf einer Innenseite des Anschlussverbinders angeordneten Kontaktelementen zur Kontaktierung einer sich im Inneren des Gehäuses befindenden Anschlussklemme mit einer Anzahl von mit Befestigungselementen versehenen Kontaktöffnungen sowie eine Anzahl von auf einer Außenseite des Anschlussverbinders angeordneten und sich in einer Steckverbinderanschlussrichtung erstreckenden Steckverbinderelementen zum Anschluss einer außerhalb des Gehäuses verlaufenden elektrischen Versorgungsleitung auf.The connector according to the invention for fastening in an assembly opening a housing wall of an electrical device has a number of an inner side of the connector arranged for contact elements Contacting a connection terminal located inside the housing with a number of contact openings provided with fastening elements as well as a number of arranged on an outside of the connector and connector elements extending in a connector connection direction for the connection of an external one electrical supply line.

Mit anderen Worten ist der erfindungsgemäße mehrpolige elektrische Anschlussverbinder dergestalt, das er in einer Montageöffnung, etwa einem Gehäuseausschnitt einer Gehäusewand befestigt werden kann. Die Montageöffnungen weisen vorzugsweise eine geometrisch einfache Form auf; sie sind beispielsweise rechteckig oder kreisförmig. Der Anschlussverbinder weist dazu zumindest eine Innenseite und eine Außenseite auf, wobei sich die Innenseite im Montageendzustand im Inneren des Gehäuses des elektrischen Gerätes befindet, während sich die Außenseite des Anschlussverbinders im Montageendzustand in Richtung auf den das elektrische Gerät umgebenden Außenraum hin erstreckt.In other words, the multipole electrical connection connector according to the invention in such a way that he in a mounting opening, such as a housing cutout a housing wall can be attached. The mounting holes point preferably a geometrically simple shape; for example, they are rectangular or circular. For this purpose, the connection connector has at least one inside and an outside, the inside being in the final assembly state inside the housing of the electrical device while the Outside of the connector in the final assembly direction towards the the electrical device surrounding outer space extends.

Die auf der Innenseite des Anschlussverbinders angeordneten Kontaktelemente sind dabei derart angeordnet, dass sie beim Einführen des Anschlussverbinders in die Montageöffnung in entsprechende Kontaktöffnungen einer Anschlussklemme eintreten können, die sich im Inneren des Gehäuses befindet. Die Kontaktelemente selbst sind vorzugsweise nach Art von Kontaktstiften ausgebildet. Aber auch Kontaktelemente in Form von Kontaktzungen oder Kontaktlaschen können verwendet werden.The contact elements arranged on the inside of the connection connector are arranged in such a way that when the connector is inserted into the mounting opening in the corresponding contact openings of a connection terminal can occur, which is located inside the housing. The contact elements themselves are preferably designed in the manner of contact pins. But contact elements in the form of contact tongues or contact tabs can also be used.

Das Eintreten der Kontaktelemente in die Kontaktöffnungen erfolgt entweder direkt während des Einführens des Anschlussverbinders in die Montageöffnung oder aber nach dem Einführen in einem zweiten Schritt, bei dem der eingeführte Anschlussverbinder auf die Kontaktöffnungen zu bewegt wird. Die Kontaktöffnungen sind dabei der Form der Kontaktelemente angepasst. Beispielsweise können Kontaktstifte mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt und dazugehörige kreisförmige Kontaktöffnungen verwendet werden. Dabei sind die Kontaktöffnungen der Anschlussklemme mit Befestigungselementen, wie beispielsweise Klemmfedern, versehen, so dass die Kontaktelemente, wenn sie einmal in die Kontaktöffnungen eingetreten sind, darin fest verklemmt sind und ein elektrischer Kontakt hergestellt wird. Anstelle der Klemmfedern können auch andere Befestigungselemente, wie etwa Rastelemente eingesetzt werden, bei deren Einsatz eine sichere Kontaktierung der Kontaktelemente in der Anschlussklemme ohne weitere Handhabung durch eine Person sichergestellt ist.The contact elements either enter the contact openings directly during the insertion of the connector into the assembly opening or after the insertion in a second step, in which the inserted Connection connector is moved towards the contact openings. The contact openings are adapted to the shape of the contact elements. For example Contact pins with a circular cross-section and associated circular contact openings be used. The contact openings of the connection terminal with fasteners, such as clamping springs, provided so that the contact elements once in the contact openings have entered, are stuck tightly and an electrical contact is made becomes. Instead of the clamping springs, other fasteners, such as about locking elements are used, when using a secure contact the contact elements in the connection terminal without further handling is ensured by one person.

Die Anzahl der Kontatktelemente entspricht dabei vorzugsweise der Anzahl der benötigten Anschlussleitungen. Mit anderen Worten wird beispielsweise für den Anschluss einer dreipoligen Versorgungsleitung an das elektrische Gerät ein Anschlussverbinder mit drei Kontaktelementen verwendet. Die auf der Innenseite angeordneten Kontaktelemente sind jeweils mit einem Steckverbinderelement verdrahtet, welches sich durch den Anschlussverbinder hindurch in einer Steckverbinderanschlussrichtung erstreckt und auf der Außenseite des Anschlussverbinders offen zum Anschließen der Abzweigleitung angeordnet ist. Diese Steckverbinderelemente können vor oder nach dem Einschieben des Anschlussverbinders in die Montageöffnung mit entsprechenden Anschusselementen der Abzweigleitung verbunden werden.The number of contact elements preferably corresponds to the number of required connecting cables. In other words, for example Connection of a three-pole supply line to the electrical device is a connector used with three contact elements. The one on the inside arranged contact elements are each with a connector element wired, which extends through the connector in a connector connection direction extends and on the outside of the connector is arranged open for connecting the branch line. These connector elements can before or after inserting the connector into the assembly opening with corresponding connection elements of the branch line get connected.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Anschlussverbinder wird somit ein besonders einfaches Anschließen des elektrischen Gerätes an eine Versorgungsleitung ermöglicht. Durch das "Push-ln"-System des Anschlussverbinders wird darüber hinaus eine äußerst schnelle Installation gewährleistet. Aufgrund dieser Vorteile ist eine erhebliche Verminderung der Montagekosten möglich.The connection connector according to the invention thus becomes a particularly simple one Connection of the electrical device to a supply line enabled. The "push-in" system of the connector also goes beyond extremely quick installation guaranteed. Because of these advantages is a considerable reduction in assembly costs possible.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 2 sind Halteelemente zur Bildung von vorzugsweise lösbaren Schnapp- oder Rastverbindungen vorgesehen. Beispielsweise kann der Anschlussverbinder Rastzungen aufweisen, die sich beim Einführen des Anschlussverbinders in die Montageöffnung nach dem Durchtreten durch die Öffnung aufspreizen und Widerhaken bilden, die sich gegen die Innenseite der Gehäusewand abstützen. Es sind hier jedoch auch andere Schnapp- bzw. Rastverbindungen denkbar, beispielsweise eine am Anschlussverbinder angeordnete Rastleiste, die in einer entsprechende Rastausnehmung an der Gehäusewand einrastet. Sind keine zusätzlichen Halteelemente vorgesehen, so sind die Abmessungen von Montageöffnung und Anschlussverbinder vorzugsweise derart aneinander angepasst, dass der Anschlussverbinders im Montageendzustand dennoch, insbesondere durch eine Presspassverbindung, fest in der Montageöffnung fixiert ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention according to claim 2 Holding elements to form preferably detachable snap or snap connections intended. For example, the connection connector can have latching tongues have, which when inserting the connector into the mounting opening after passing through the opening, spread out and form barbs, which are supported against the inside of the housing wall. However, it is here other snap or snap connections are also conceivable, for example one snap-in bar arranged on the connector, in a corresponding snap-in recess clicks into place on the housing wall. Are no additional holding elements the dimensions of the mounting opening and connector are provided preferably matched to one another in such a way that the connection connector nevertheless in the final assembly state, in particular by a Press-fit connection is firmly fixed in the assembly opening.

Die Haltelemente des Anschlussverbinders sind nach der Lehre des Anspruchs 3 derart ausgebildet, dass der Anschlussverbinder im Montageendzustand im Wesentlichen bündig mit der Gehäusewand abschließt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die auf der Außenseite des Anschlussverbinders angeordneten Steckverbinderelemente gleichfalls bündig mit der Gehäusewand des elektrischen Gerätes abschließen, so dass sich eine völlig ebene Wandoberfläche ohne störende herausstehende Teile ergibt. Vorteilhafterweise ist das Halteelement dabei an wenigstens einem Abschnitt des Umfangs der Außenseite des Anschlussverbinders angeordnet, so dass eine Schnapp- oder Rastverbindung zwischen Anschlussverbinder und Gehäusewand auf direktem Wege möglich ist.The retaining elements of the connector are according to the teaching of claim 3 formed such that the connection connector essentially in the final assembly state is flush with the housing wall. It is particularly advantageous if the connector elements arranged on the outside of the connection connector also flush with the housing wall of the electrical device complete, so that a completely flat wall surface without protruding protruding Parts results. Advantageously, the holding element is at least a portion of the circumference of the outside of the connector is arranged, so that a snap or snap connection between connector and housing wall is possible directly.

Die an der Anschlussverbinderaußenseite angeordneten Steckverbinderelemente sind nach der Lehre des Anspruchs 4 Buchsenelemente, da die entsprechenden an der Abzweigleitung vorgesehenen Anschlusselemente in der Regel Stekkerelemente sind. Selbstverständlich ist es gleichfalls möglich, anstelle der Buchsenelemente Steckerelemente am Anschlussverbinder vorzusehen (Anspruch 5).The connector elements arranged on the outside of the connector are 4 socket elements according to the teaching of claim, since the corresponding Connection elements provided on the branch line are usually plug elements are. Of course, it is also possible instead of the socket elements To provide connector elements on the connector (claim 5).

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung, wonach die Kontaktelemente parallel zur Steckverbinderanschlussrichtung angeordnet sind (Anspruch 6). Bei einer derartigen Ausführungsform ist es möglich, den Anschlussverbinder bei solchen elektrischen Geräten zu verwenden, bei denen die Montageöffnung direkt gegenüber der Anschlussklemme im Gehäuseinneren angeordnet ist. Mit anderen Worten erfolgt die Kontaktierung der Kontaktelemente mit den Kontaktöffnungen der Anschlussklemme in diesem Fall durch ein einfaches Einschieben des Anschlussverbinders in die Montageöffnung.Another embodiment of the invention, according to which the Contact elements are arranged parallel to the connector connection direction (Claim 6). In such an embodiment, it is possible to connect the connector to be used in such electrical devices in which the Installation opening arranged directly opposite the connection terminal inside the housing is. In other words, the contacting of the contact elements takes place with the contact openings of the connection terminal in this case by a simple Push the connector into the assembly opening.

Alternativ dazu ist es möglich, die Kontaktelemente in einem Winkel zur Steckverbinderanschlussrichtung anzuordnen (Anspruch 7). Dies ist insbesondere in solchen Fällen sinnvoll, wo, beispielsweise bedingt durch eine komplizierte Bauform des elektrischen Gerätes, oder durch erschwerte Einbaubedingungen vor Ort, ein Anordnung der Montageöffnung direkt gegenüber der Anschlussklemme nicht möglich ist. Beispielsweise wird durch eine solche Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine Kontaktierung möglich, indem der erfindungsgemäße Anschlussverbinder zuerst in die Montageöffnung in einer Montagerichtung eingeführt und anschließend in eine nicht parallel zur Montagerichtung verlaufenden Anschlussrichtung verschoben wird, wobei die auf der Innenseite des Anschlussverbinders angeordneten Kontaktelemente erst mit dieser zweiten Bewegung des Anschlussverbinders auf die Anschlussklemme hin in die Kontaktöffnungen der Anschlussklemme eintreten. Besonders einfach gestaltet sich die Montage, wenn die Anschlusselemente rechtwinkelig zur Steckverbinderanschlussrichtung angeordnet sind.Alternatively, it is possible to angle the contact elements to the connector connection direction to arrange (claim 7). This is especially true in such Cases where appropriate, for example due to a complicated design of the electrical device, or due to difficult installation conditions on site Arrangement of the mounting opening directly opposite the connection terminal is not is possible. For example, such an embodiment of the invention contacting possible by the connector according to the invention first inserted into the mounting opening in one mounting direction and then in a connection direction that is not parallel to the installation direction is shifted, being arranged on the inside of the connection connector Contact elements only with this second movement of the connector towards the connection terminal in the contact openings of the connection terminal enter. Installation is particularly easy if the connection elements are arranged at right angles to the connector connection direction.

Ein Anschlusssystem mit einem erfindungsgemäßen mehrpoligen elektrischen Anschlussverbinder (Anspruch 8) ist gleichfalls Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung. Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass bestehende elektrische Geräte, insbesondere Leuchten, für den Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Anschlussverbinders nicht nachträglich umgerüstet werden müssen. Vielmehr ist es möglich, den Anschlussverbinder auch in bereits bestehende elektrische Geräte zu integrieren. Da am elektrischen Gerät keinerlei Veränderungen vorgenommen werden müssen, ist es vorteilhafterweise möglich, statt des erfindungsgemäßen Anschlusssystems auch eine konventionelle Verdrahtung vorzusehen, bei der beispielsweise die Leiter der Abzweigleitung einzeln verdrahtet werden. So können zu diesem Zweck beispielsweise die Leiterendhülsen der anzuschließenden Leiter in den Kontaktöffnungen der Anschlussklemme verklemmt werden. Bei der konventionellen Verdrahtung ist dann üblicherweise ein Abdeckblech vorgesehen, durch das die Anschlussleitung durchtritt und das die Montageöffnung in der Gehäusewand vollständig verschließt. Es kann also fallweise entschieden werden, ob eine konventionelle Verdrahtung oder aber ein elektrischer Anschlussverbinder nach der vorliegenden Erfindung zum Anschließen des elektrischen Gerätes verwendet werden soll. A connection system with a multi-pole electrical according to the invention Connection connector (claim 8) is also the subject of the present invention. It is advantageous that existing electrical devices, in particular Do not light up for the use of the connector according to the invention have to be retrofitted. Rather, it is possible to use the connector can also be integrated into existing electrical devices. Since on electrical device no changes need to be made, it is advantageously also possible, instead of the connection system according to the invention to provide conventional wiring in which, for example, the conductors of the Branch line can be wired individually. For example, for this purpose the conductor end sleeves of the conductors to be connected in the contact openings the connection terminal are jammed. With conventional wiring a cover plate is then usually provided through which the connecting line passes through and completely the assembly opening in the housing wall closes. It can therefore be decided on a case-by-case basis whether a conventional one Wiring or an electrical connector according to the present Invention for connecting the electrical device can be used should.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist schließlich die Ausführungsform nach Anspruch 9, wonach die Montageöffnung gegenüber der Anschussklemme derart angeordnet ist, dass sich die Kontaktelemente des in die Montageöffnung eingeführten Anschlussverbinders in einer gemeinsamen Einsteckebene mit den Kontaktöffnungen der Anschlussklemme befinden. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass der elektrische Kontakt zwischen den Kontaktelementen des Anschlussverbinders und den Kontaktöffnungen der Anschlussklemme in jedem Fall durch einfaches Verschieben des Anschlussverbinders auf die Anschlussklemme hin möglich ist.Finally, the embodiment according to claim 9, according to which, is particularly advantageous the assembly opening is arranged opposite the connection terminal in such a way that the contact elements of the connector inserted into the assembly opening in a common insertion level with the contact openings the connection terminal. This ensures that the electrical Contact between the contact elements of the connector and the Contact openings of the connection terminal in any case by simply moving them of the connection connector towards the connection terminal is possible.

Zum Anschließen wird der Anschlussverbinder 1 in einer Anschlussrichtung 14 in die Montageöffnung 2 geführt. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel stimmen dabei Anschlussrichtung 14 und Steckverbinderanschlussrichtung 12 überein. Dabei sind Anschlussverbinder 1 und Montageöffnung 2 derart dimensioniert, dass ein Einführen des Anschlussverbinders 1 möglich ist, ohne dass zusätzliche Hilfsmittel notwendig sind.On the inside 6 of the connector 1, in the embodiment shown opposite the outside 7, three contact pins 13 are arranged. there each contact pin 13 is assigned a socket 11 with which it is electrical connected is. The contact pins 13 point in the connector connection direction 12 towards the assembly opening 2. The connector is used for connection 1 in a connection direction 14 into the assembly opening 2. In the shown The exemplary embodiment is correct in connection direction 14 and connector connection direction 12 match. There are connection connector 1 and assembly opening 2 dimensioned such that insertion of the connector 1 is possible without the need for additional aids.

Kontaktöffnungen 2 und Kontaktstifte 13 liegen dabei jederzeit in einer gemeinsamen Einsteckebene 15. Beim Bewegen des Anschlussverbinders 1 in seine Montageendposition treten die Kontaktstifte 13 in Kontaktöffnungen 16 einer Anschlussklemme 17 ein, die im Inneren des Leuchtengehäuses 4 angebracht ist. Die Kontaktöffnungen 16 sind dabei mit Klemmelementen (nicht abgebildet) versehen, die eine sichere Kontaktierung der eingeführten Kontaktstifte 16 sicherstellen. Die Anschlussklemme 17 ist dann intern mit den vorgesehenen elektrischen Verbrauchern, beispielsweise den Lampen, verbunden.Contact openings 2 and contact pins 13 are always in a common Insertion level 15. When moving the connector 1 in its In the final assembly position, the contact pins 13 enter the contact openings 16 in a connecting terminal 17 a, which is mounted inside the lamp housing 4. The contact openings 16 are provided with clamping elements (not shown), which ensure reliable contacting of the inserted contact pins 16. The terminal 17 is then internal with the intended electrical Connected consumers, such as the lamps.

Auf Oberseite 9 und Unterseite 10 des Anschlussverbinders 1 sind Halteelemente in Form von Rastzungen 18 vorgesehen, die beim Durchtreten der Montageöffnung 2 aufspreizen und mit der Innenseite der Gehäusewand 3 zur sicheren Fixierung des Anschlussverbinders 1 im Leuchtengehäuse 4 einen Hintergriff ausbilden.On the top 9 and bottom 10 of the connector 1 are holding elements provided in the form of latching tongues 18 when passing through the assembly opening 2 spread open and with the inside of the housing wall 3 for secure fixation of the connector 1 in the lamp housing 4 form a rear grip.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung. Hierbei ist die Montageöffnung 2 nicht direkt gegenüber den Kontaktöffnungen 16 der Anschlussklemme 17 angeordnet. Vielmehr ist die Montageöffnung 2 gegenüber der Anschlussklemme 17 versetzt angeordnet, so dass der Anschlussverbinder 1 in einem ersten Schritt in einer Einführrichtung 19 in die Montageöffnung 2 eingeführt wird und in einem zweiten Schritt in eine Anschlussrichtung 14 auf die Anschlussklemme 17 hin verschoben wird. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem die Anschlussrichtung 14 mit der Einführrichtung 19 übereinstimmt, sind jetzt Einführ- und Anschlussrichtung um 90° zueinander verschoben. Jedoch befinden sich auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die Kontaktstifte 13 des in die Montageöffnung 2 eingeführten Anschlussverbinders 1 in einer gemeinsamen Einsteckebene 15 mit den Kontaktöffnungen 16 der Anschlussklemme 17.Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of the invention. Here is the assembly opening 2 not directly opposite the contact openings 16 of the connection terminal 17 arranged. Rather, the assembly opening 2 is opposite the connection terminal 17 arranged offset, so that the connector 1 in a first Step in an insertion direction 19 is inserted into the mounting opening 2 and in a second step in a connection direction 14 to the connection terminal 17 is moved towards. In contrast to the first embodiment, in which the connection direction 14 coincides with the insertion direction 19 now insertion and connection direction shifted by 90 ° to each other. However in this embodiment, the contact pins 13 in the Assembly opening 2 inserted connector 1 in a common Insertion level 15 with the contact openings 16 of the connection terminal 17.

Der Anschlussverbinder 1 weist wiederum eine in der Montageendposition aus der Gehäusewand 3 heraus zeigende Außenseite 7 auf, auf der drei Steckerbuchsen 11 angeordnet sind. Die der Außenseite 7 gegenüberliegende Unterseite 10 des Anschlussverbinders 1 trägt in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel keine Kontaktstifte. Die Kontaktstifte 13 sind vielmehr auf der zur Aussenseite 7 direkt benachbarten Innenseite 6 des Anschlussverbinders 1 angeordnet, die im eingeführten Zustand auf die Kontaktöffnungen 16 der Anschlussklemme 17 weist.The connector 1 in turn has one in the final assembly position from the Housing wall 3 on the outside 7, on which three sockets 11 are arranged. The underside 10 opposite the outside 7 of the In this exemplary embodiment, connector 1 does not have any contact pins. Rather, the contact pins 13 are on the one that is directly adjacent to the outside 7 Arranged inside 6 of the connector 1, which in the inserted state points to the contact openings 16 of the connection terminal 17.

Zum Anschließen des Anschlussverbinders 1 wird dieser in Einführrichtung 19 in die Montageöffnung 2 eingesetzt und anschließend in Anschlussrichtung 14 gegen die Anschlussklemme 17 verschoben. An seiner Außenseite 7 weist der Anschlussverbinder 1 ein zusätzliches Abdeckelement 20 auf, dass derart dimensioniert ist, dass es in der Montageendposition die Montageöffnung 2 in der Gehäusewand 3 vollständig verschließt.To connect the connector 1, this is in the insertion direction 19 in the assembly opening 2 inserted and then in the connection direction 14 against the terminal 17 moved. The connector connector has on its outside 7 1 an additional cover element 20 that is dimensioned in this way is that it is the assembly opening 2 in the housing wall in the final assembly position 3 completely closed.

Die Größe der Montageöffnung 2 entspricht in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nicht den Ausmaßen des Anschlussverbinders 1. Vielmehr ist die Montageöffnung 2 derart dimensioniert, dass der Anschlussverbinder 1 ohne Weiteres in das Leuchtengehäuse 4 eingeführt und auch in Anschlussrichtung 14 verschoben werden kann. The size of the mounting opening 2 does not correspond to this embodiment the dimensions of the connection connector 1. Rather, the assembly opening 2 dimensioned such that the connector 1 easily into the Luminaire housing 4 inserted and also moved in connection direction 14 can be.
