Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coaxial plug connector having an electrically conductive shield housing and having an center conductor, which is connectable to a cable center conductor and to a complementary center conductor of a mating plug connector, and an outer conductor which is connectable to an outer conductor of the mating plug connector and to a cable outer conductor.
  • the outer conductor includes a first half shell and a second half shell, which can be joined together in a direction substantially transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cable.
  • the invention relates to a coaxial angled plug connector in which the center conductor is angled such that the contact region and the connection region are oriented at approximately a right angle to each other.
  • the invention relates to a process for making a coaxial plug connector or coaxial angled plug connector.
  • Coaxial plug connectors are generally used in a broad range of applications to connect coaxial cables to one another or to a number of electronic components.
  • Coaxial cables are the predominant type of cabling in the field of image transfer and for computer networks, since although they are more expensive than simple telephone cables, they are substantially less susceptible to disruptive interference and can transport more data.
  • coaxial cabling use is increasing too, in particular for connecting the radio, GPS (Global Positioning System) or mobile radio devices to the onboard network of the motor vehicle.
  • coaxial plug connectors are used for example for the greatest variety of connections in the base stations of mobile communications networks.
  • a coaxial connector in general, includes two substantially concentric conductors, a center signal conductor and an outer shield conductor which are insulated from one another by a dielectric and are conventionally used as a connection point for a transmission line.
  • Angled coaxial plug connectors have been developed for connecting coaxial cables of lines running substantially transverse to one another.
  • a number of techniques for connecting the center conductor and the outer conductor to the cable are proposed.
  • an angled plug connector has the center conductor terminated by an insulation displacement contact and the outer conductor terminated by a crimp connection.
  • the cable center conductor is terminated by a crimp or solder connection and the cable outer conductor is terminated by a insulation displacement contact.
  • a crimp or solder connection the cable outer conductor is terminated by a insulation displacement contact.
  • EP 0 412 412 A1 in the case of an angled plug connector the center conductor of the plug connector and the cable center conductor meet in the plug connector such that they form a right angle and are connected to one another for example by way of a slot or a notch in the center conductor.
  • angled center conductors may also be used in angled plug connectors.
  • angled center conductor of this kind is disclosed by DE 199 32 942 A1.
  • the angled center conductor is in this case made as a punched bent metal part and connected to the center conductor of the cable by a crimp connection.
  • pin-type center conductors for example made in the form of a turned part, as disclosed in EP 0 884 800 A2 or EP 0 597 579 A2, provide a possible alternative.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a coaxial plug connector and a coaxial angled plug connector and an associated manufacturing process which result in better electrical contact and insensitivity to electromagnetic interference while simplifying and reducing the cost of manufacturing.
  • the invention is based on the realisation that a particularly simple assembly and as complete as possible a shield can be achieved if the outer conductor includes a first half shell and a second half shell which can be joined together in a direction substantially transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis, and these half shells of the outer conductor at the same time form the electrically conductive shield housing.
  • the result is that the number of parts required and the process steps required can be reduced, and the entire plug connector is surrounded peripherally by the shield housing. Interference is therefore reduced and relatively large quantities of data may be transmitted through the connector.
  • the coaxial plug connector includes a sleeve which fits around the outer conductor in a connection region. The result of this is that electrical contact between the cable outer conductor and the outer conductor of the plug connector can be made simply by pushing the sleeve on.
  • the sleeve may be crimped to connect the outer conductor to the cable outer conductor.
  • the outer conductor may have a hinge-like attachment by means of which the two halves are connectable such that they may be rotated for the purpose of being joined together.
  • a geometrically favorable embodiment is the hinge-like attachment with an axis of rotation that runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cable. It goes without saying, however, that an axis of rotation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable may also be provided.
  • a means of making a hinge-like attachment which is particularly simple to carry out from a production engineering point of view is an embodiment in which the hinge-like attachment is formed by at least one hook integrally formed on one of the half shells and engaging in an associated engagement opening in the other half shell.
  • the center conductor has a latching projection and a ramp and the dielectric has an associated change in diameter and a further ramp.
  • the length between these two latching devices must be matched precisely and have a narrow tolerance.
  • the latching can then be achieved for example by different angles for the ramps, such as 30° on the center conductor and 34° on the dielectric.
  • Latching can also be performed by the center conductor having a peripheral latching projection which for the purpose of latching engages in an associated groove on the dielectric.
  • coaxial plug connector of this kind becomes particularly effective if the coaxial plug connector is constructed as an angled plug connector in which the longitudinal axis of the cable runs substantially transversely with respect to the direction of plugging into a mating plug connector.
  • a particularly secure electrical contact can be made between the cable center conductor and the center conductor of the coaxial plug connector if a center conductor is provided whereof the contact region and the connection region substantially form an angle of 90° with one another.
  • conventional techniques for forming a connection between the center conductor and the cable center conductor such as crimping, can be used.
  • the abutment against one another of the center conductor and the cable center conductor in a region in which their axes are not parallel to one another is avoided in this embodiment.
  • the center conductor may also be made with the aid of an extrusion process.
  • This allows a substantially simpler manufacturing process to be achieved. Since it is a non-cutting manufacturing process, there is no waste and the raw material can be 100% utilised. Extrusion represents a faster process than turning, since depending on the circumference and intensity up to 1000 parts per minute can be manufactured, so production can be sped up substantially.
  • the center conductor is made by a shaping technique, the material is compressed and the center conductor has better tensile strength than turned parts of similar shape.
  • manufacture by the extrusion process has the advantage that the manufacturing tools are subject to substantially less wear during production than with turning.
  • a particularly secure and readily automated means of making a connection between the center conductor and the cable center conductor is provided by crimping.
  • the shield housing is provided with particularly good electrical shielding properties if the half shells can be made from metal, for example in a die casting technique or a cutting-machining process.
  • Secure mechanical fixing of the two half shells to one another can be achieved by latching the two half shells to one another.
  • Figure 1 shows an exploded illustration of a coaxial plug connector 100 according to the invention in an angled orientation, together with a connection end of a coaxial cable 118 having its insulation removed.
  • the coaxial plug connector 100 has an outer conductor 102 which is connectable to an outer conductor of a mating plug connector, not shown in this or the following figures, and to a cable outer conductor 120.
  • the outer conductor 102 is divided, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable 118, into two half shells 112 and 114 which form a substantially closed conductive shield housing.
  • the connection between a cable center conductor 122 and a complementary center conductor (not shown) of a mating plug connector is made by the center conductor 104 of the coaxial plug connector.
  • the center conductor 104 is insulated electrically from the outer conductor 102 by the dielectric 106.
  • An external spring 108 is attached by a ring 110 in the contact region 128 for resiliently securing the plug connector 100 to the mating plug connector, and for electrically connecting the outer conductor 102.
  • the external spring 108 may optionally be attached without the ring 110.
  • Outward protrusions 130 on the outer conductor ensure mechanical stability once the dielectric 106, the external spring 108 and the optional ring 110 have been mounted.
  • connection region 132 the outer conductor 102 is brought into electrical contact with a braid 120 of the cable 108.
  • the braid 120 is pushed over the connection region 132 and electrically terminated thereto by a sleeve 116.
  • the sleeve may be crimped to give adequate strain relief
  • a peripheral latching projection 134 and a ramp 136 which are provided on the center conductor 104, make it possible for the center conductor 104 to latch inside the dielectric 106.
  • the dielectric 106 has a corresponding widening in cross-section or a groove for receiving the latching projection 134 and an associated further ramp 137 (see Figure 8).
  • Two hooks 138 which are integrally formed on the second half shell 114, form with corresponding openings in the first half shell 112 a hinge-like attachment.
  • the second half shell 114 can be fixed to the first half shell 112 using these hooks 138 by rotating about an axis of rotation running substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable 118. In this way, positioning of the second half shell 114 during assembly is facilitated, and the mechanical stability of the overall construction is increased.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective illustration of a partially assembled coaxial plug connector 100, in which the external spring 108, the ring 110 and the dielectric 106 have already been applied to the first half shell 112 of the outer conductor 102 and the center conductor 104 is latched to the dielectric 106 and connected to the cable center conductor 122 by a crimping
  • the cable outer conductor 120 is still folded back and the second half shell 114 is not yet mounted.
  • Figure 3 shows a further assembled coaxial plug connector 100, in which both half shells 112 and 114 are joined together and the outer conductor braid 120 has been pushed over the contact region 132 of the outer conductor 102. It is clearly visible that the entire plug connector arrangement is enclosed on all sides by the shield housing formed by the outer conductor 102.
  • the center conductor 104 can be made as a turned part, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • the electrical connection to the center conductor 122 of a coaxial cable is made through the connection opening 140 and can crimped or soldered to give better a mechanical and electrical connection.
  • a turned part of this kind can be bent at a right angle, as shown in Figure 6.
  • the embodiments shown in Figures 5 and 6 of the center conductor 104 may also alternatively be made by an extrusion technique.
  • the latching projection 134 and the ramp 136 are formed by transverse rolling using appropriately shaped transverse rollers.
  • a further embodiment of a center conductor 104 is shown in Figure 7.
  • the center conductor 104 shown here is made by stamping and forming a metal sheet and has a crimp connection in the area of the connection opening 140 for connecting it to the center conductor 122 of the coaxial cable.
  • Figure 8 shows a longitudinal section through the contact region 128 in the fully assembled condition. In this illustration, the way the center conductor 104 is latched to the dielectric 106 is visible. In this embodiment, the latching projection 134 engages in a place where there is a widening of the cross-section of the dielectric 106 and is fixed by the interaction between the two ramps 136 and 137, which for this purpose have different ramping angles.
  • a coaxial cable 118 has its insulation removed in a first operating step such that the cable center conductor 122 and the cable outer conductor 120 (usually a wire braid) are exposed. Then, a clamping sleeve 116, as shown in Figure 10, is pushed over the cable end.
  • Figure 15 shows the arrangement of Figure 14 with a pre-assembled first half shell 112 into which the dielectric 106 has already been inserted Latching the center conductor 104 into the dielectric 106 gives the arrangement shown in Figure 16.
  • connection region 132 of the outer conductor 102 In order to make an electrically conductive and mechanically firm connection between the connection region 132 of the outer conductor 102 and the braid 120, the braid 120 is first pushed over the connection region 132, which gives the arrangement in Figure 19.
  • the braid 120 from which the insulation has been removed may be left over the cable even after the insulation has been removed, and be brought into electrical contact on the inner surface of the connection region 132.
  • Figure 22 shows a further embodiment of a coaxial plug connector 100 in which the second half shell 114 is not connectable to the first half shell 112 by way of a hinge-like attachment, but may be mounted to the first half shell 112 by being displaced in a direction 144 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable 118.
  • Inter-engaging guide elements such as grooves and guide projections may be integrally formed on the wall elements of the half shells 112, 114 that come up against one another. This embodiment may be advantageous if the geometrical relationships during assembly do not permit rotation, and moreover it enables a more reliable connection between the two half shells.
