Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fastening a connector in an insulating module housing of a module plug.
  • Such a device according to the invention is required in order to achieve a self-retaining locking of a plug connector in a module housing or a mating connector.
  • the US 6,264,504 B1 discloses an electrical connector consisting of an insulating housing 1.
  • the housing has two chambers, in which the contact elements of the connector are arranged.
  • an inner metallic shield is incorporated, comprising spring elements with detent springs.
  • spring elements with detent springs.
  • a matching mating connector is clamped in the chamber.
  • the shield has a double function here, it should shield the contact elements electromagnetically and fix the mating connector.
  • the US 2004/0029444 A1 shows a connector.
  • a component of the connector consists of a double USB socket with attached cable.
  • the double USB socket is fixed in the lower part of a two-part housing body by means of spring elements and detent springs formed thereon. Subsequently, the upper housing part is locked to the upper housing part.
  • the spring elements are conductively connected to the outer skin of the USB sockets and the housing body to ensure sufficient electromagnetic shielding of the connector.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to form a device for fastening a connector of the type mentioned in that at the same time a locking between the connector and a module provided for this purpose during the insertion process.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that at the same time the locking process between a plugged into a module connector is done with the plug-in operation of this connector, without further action by an executive person is necessary.
  • these connectors no exact specifications or formations for the dimensions of the plug are provided, which are usually as ready-made with overmolded, pre-assembled cable, such. B. in so-called USB connectors are delivered.
  • the module housing provided here for receiving such a connector housing advantageously symmetrically arranged locking elements are provided which have a detent spring, which are directed at a shallow angle in the mating region of the module housing in and fix the connector housing on both sides.
  • the module housing in turn can be latched or screwed in a frame of a module connector receiving a plurality of modules.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cut module housing 10 is shown.
  • latching hooks 6 are integrally formed on the outer edges, by means of which the module housing, in addition to further module housings which can be lined up one behind the other, can be latched in a frame of a modular plug connector (not shown here).
  • the module housing 10 has a plug-in area 11 and an opening 12 through which a plug-in connector 1 protrudes to contact with a mating connector.
  • a connector 1 used in this case is supplied together with an electrical cable 8 as already ready-made cable connection.
  • the cable connection is formed from the connector 1, consisting of a connector housing 2, with a plug-in area 3 and the connected cable 4.
  • the plug-in area 3 is supplied by the various connector manufacturers in a certain range, but with different dimensions, so that only a variably designed locking device is expedient for the fixation of a connector.
  • a locking device is provided in the plug-in region 11 of the module housing, wherein in the narrow sides of the module housing in each case at least one detent spring 16 '- reaching into a recess 14 in the bottom of the module housing - is formed.
  • two successive staggered, integrally formed detent springs 16 ' are provided on both sides of the plug-in area, which are aligned with their ends 17', approximately at an angle of 45 ° from the wall in the insertion direction into the plug-in area 11.
  • the spring ends 17 'slide When inserting the connector housing 2 in the module housing 10, the spring ends 17 'slide initially along the narrow sides of the housing in the plug-in area 5, but unfold a wedging effect when pulling back the connector.
  • Fig. 2 is shown in a perspective view of a connector 1, which is already partially inserted into a module housing 10, which is shown in a section.
  • a variant of the in Fig. 1 Locking device shown provided, wherein in the plug-in area 11 two opposing spring elements 15 are arranged, each with a detent spring 16, or with the end 17 in the plug-in area 11 have.
  • the spring elements 15 are fixed with their ends 19 in slots 13 and are used by a one-sided executed insertion opening 14 in the module housing captive.
  • the spring element 15 is shown, which has a slight U-shaped curvature and protrudes from the center of a three-sided release latching spring 16.
  • the detent spring is first formed into the curvature of the spring element, but projects with the spring end 17 against the curvature of the cut-out opening 18. The curvature is required to hold the locking element with a certain tension within the slots 13 in the module 10.
  • the detent springs 16 For disassembly of the plug connector, however, the detent springs 16 must be bent back from the outside, in which by inserting a flat Tool in the bottom opening 14 in the Modulgeophuse10 the locking springs are intimidzubiegen.
  • this effort is justified in quite as these connectors are integrated within a system plug equipped with a plurality of modular plug and are usually equipped only when installing a new system, otherwise separated by a separation of the two halves of the module plug and the connectors held therein are.
