Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fastening and resilient contacting of a connector contact insert with at least one sheet metal flange in an electrically conductive connector housing, which is formed from two connectable, rectangular half-shells.
  • Such a device is needed to attach an electrically conductive flange in which a connector contact insert is held, tool-less in a connector housing and to ensure an electrically conductive connection between the flange and the housing and to comply with the VDE safety guidelines.
  • connector housings From similar executed connector housings is known to screw the held in a sheet metal flange connector insert by means of screws in corresponding eyelets, which are integrally formed in the corner regions of the connector housing. For this purpose, however, always carry out installation measures that are completed only with the screw of the connector body.
  • EP-A-0 684 665 is a shielded connector unit, described consisting of two electrically conductive housing halves, which are arranged in a non-conductive housing.
  • the contact-receiving plug element is at least partially surrounded by an electrically conductive flange which can be inserted in a gap in the inner housing halves in order to form an electrically shielding plug housing.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to form a device of the type mentioned in that in a made of two half-shells and connectable connector housing a held in a metal flange connector contact insert without further attachment means in the connector housing is fixed.
  • This object is achieved in that two spaced-apart projections are provided in the inner corner regions of the half-shells, which form a receiving slot between which the sheet metal flanges are inserted, and that between the projections in the corner regions electrically conductive spring elements are arranged with spring arms on the edges of the sheet metal flanges act, so that the connector contact insert is securely fixed after the joining of the half shells.
  • Connectors generally consist of a connector housing on which one or more cable glands are provided and at least one connector contact insert which is mounted in the housing.
  • the connector contact insert may be held with different attachment methods within the housing.
  • One method is to attach to the narrow sides of a manufactured from insulating material connector insert insert angled metal flanges on the corner sides of four captive screws are provided with which the connector contact insert is screwed to correspondingly molded eyelets in the connector housing.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are now that such known connector contact inserts without the use of a tool in the connector housing can be fixed.
  • the device according to the invention is initially formed from simple projections which protrude from the wall of a connector housing formed from two housing halves and from different sheet metal parts formed as spring elements. Two mutually spaced protrusions each form a receiving slot, wherein in each corner region of the connector housing, a mold pair is provided.
  • the holding elements have at least one spring element, with which the sheet metal flanges, which are inserted into the receiving slots, are advantageously pressed against one of the projections and are securely fixed in assembled half shells and at the same time ensure electrical contact between the sheet metal flange and the housing. It is also advantageous that metal flanges can be inserted and fixed with two defined but different sheet thicknesses in the receiving slots. In a variant, only a certain thickness of a sheet metal flange can be received by the fastening device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a connector housing 1, which is formed in the assembled state of two half-shells and in which here the front of the half-shells is removed.
  • a connector contact insert 6 is shown, which is held by means of angled sheet metal flanges 7 and the device to be described here in the connector housing.
  • Fig. 2 only the half-shell 2 of the connector housing is shown in a perspective view, the three cable feeders 3 has.
  • inner corner region 4 is a device for fixing the connector contact insert can be seen.
  • the device is formed from two projections 10, 14, which protrude from the housing wall of the half-shell and a spring element, which may have different shapes.
  • Such a spring element is shown in Fig. 3 on an enlarged scale and consists essentially of a frame-shaped, bent by about 90 ° sheet metal part 20, from the two pointing in the corner region, three-sided release spring arms 24, 26 are formed, the spring ends 28th are arched.
  • two projections 10, 14 are provided, on which the sheet metal part 20 can be pushed, so that the projections dive into the recesses 23 between the frame and the spring arms and ultimately protrude therefrom.
  • a not further described locking mechanism 22 holds the sheet metal part 20 to the housing shell 2 fixed.
  • a slot 18 is formed, in which the sheet metal flange 7 of the connector contact insert is inserted.
  • the width of the slot 18 is provided in cooperation with the spring arms 24, 26 for receiving two different sheet thicknesses.
  • the spring arms are slightly offset, positioned at different heights in the frame of the sheet metal part, so that the spring arm 24 shown on the left is arranged in the upper and the right spring arm 26 in the lower region of the frame-shaped sheet metal part 20. If a metal flange is inserted with a maximum thickness in the slot 18, the curved trained spring ends 28 of the two spring elements are pressed against the sheet metal flange outer edges.
  • the upper Anformung 10 is provided with a recess 12 into which such a screw when inserting the sheet metal flange in the receiving slot 18 only protrudes.
  • the lower Anformung 14 here is smaller and opposite the upper Anformung formed with a rounded projection 16.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant of the spring element shown in FIG. 3, in which a metal sheet part 30, which is likewise curved over the corner, is provided, in which the spring arms 34, 36 are arranged on the outer edges of the two sheet metal limbs, to be precise in that they are exposed vertically from the sheet material as shown in the figure.
  • the spring ends 38 are slightly curved, acting in the interior of the half-shell.
  • the sheet metal part 30 is also pushed onto slightly modified projections 10 ', 14' on the housing wall of the half-shell and fixed there.
  • a further variant of a spring element which has an attachment portion 42 and an angled spring arm 44 with a curved spring end 48 as an angle-shaped sheet metal part.
  • the sheet metal part is fixed instead of here partially shortened, lower Anformung 14 below the Anformung 10 on the housing wall of the half-shell, so that the curved spring end 48 is directed against the Anformung 10 and presses against the Anformung at an intermediate sheet metal flange.
  • this variant only allows the insertion of a sheet metal flange with a specified thickness.
  • FIG. 6 shows a spring element designed as a flat sheet-metal part 50, which has a fastening section 52 and a spring arm 54 with a curved spring end 58.
  • the sheet metal part 50 is positioned with its exempt spring arm in the receiving slot 18 between the two projections 10, 14, so that the spring action is directed to the flange outer edge of a sheet metal flange inserted in the receiving slot.
  • the sheet metal part 50 is attached to the housing wall.
  • this variant only allows the insertion of a sheet metal flange with a specified thickness.
  • Fig. 7 also shows a shaped as a flat sheet metal part 60 spring element. Due to the long spring travel of adjoining the attachment portion 62 spring arms 64, 66 with the curved spring ends 68, a relatively soft insertion of a sheet metal flange is possible.
  • the sheet metal part 60 is inserted into a recess 5 in the housing wall and fixed by means of a rivet fastening, so that the curvature of the spring ends 68 points into the interior.
  • This double arrangement of the spring arms in turn allows the use of two different sheet thicknesses of a sheet metal flange in the receiving slot 18, as already described in Fig. 3.
  • FIG. 8 shows, in a view of the corner region 4 of the half-shell 2 from FIG. 7, a fastening device with a mounted sheet-metal flange 7 in order to explain the functioning of the device.
  • a thin sheet metal flange 7 is inserted with a fastening screw 8 in the receiving slot 18 between the two projections 10, 14.
  • the sheet metal flange touches the lower edge of the upper Anformung 10, wherein a distance to the lower Anformung 14 remains. This distance causes the lower spring arm 66, which is positioned below the sheet metal flange, while the upper spring arm 64 is pressed by the Blechflanschkante in the recess 5.
  • both spring arms64, 66 are pressed into the recess 5 and push both spring arms with the curved spring ends 68 against the sheet metal flange.
