Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric plug connector comprising a contact element for forming an electrical connection, comprising a corresponding mating contact element and comprising a contact insert with a chamber for receiving the contact element.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for producing an electric plug connector of this type.
  • Electric plug connectors of this type are, for example, provided for producing a detachable electrical connection, via a socket contact and a pin contact, between a first electric line and a further electric line or between an electric line and an electrical device.
  • Possible areas of application include the field of an electric line system, for example for producing high-current contacts in industrial plug-in connections. In this area of application, in particular, it is desirable to achieve high current transmission with electrical connections that take up little space.
  • a contact element for forming an electrical connection to a corresponding mating contact element, which is connected, for example via a conductor connection member, to an electric conductor, is provided for producing an electrical plug-in connection of this type.
  • the conductor connection member is, for example, in the form of a crimp sleeve, into which, on one side, a stripped cable of an electric line is introduced and to which, on the other side, the contact element is attached for forming the electrical connection.
  • the arrangement consisting of the contact element and conductor connection member is then introduced into a chamber of a contact insert, where it is fastened.
  • the contact insert forms an insulating element for the electric plug connector, which comprises an end-face opening, into which the mating contact element corresponding to the contact element is introduced for producing an electrical plug-in connection.
  • the arrangement thus formed may be fastened to a fastening element, for example a fastening plate. It is known to fasten the contact insert to the fastening element and then to introduce, from two different sides, the conductor connection member including the electric conductor, on one side, and the contact element, on the other side, which are interconnected within the insulating element. Producing and assembling an electrical plug-in connection in this way is comparatively complex and time-consuming for the assembly staff.
  • an electric plug connector having a housing with a chamber in which a contact element for forming an electrical connection to a corresponding mating contacting element is received through a corresponding end-face opening for introducing the mating contact element.
  • the contact element comprises a locking member which is in locking engagement with a flange arranged at an inside wall of the chamber.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an electric plug connector of the type mentioned at the outset and a method for the production thereof to allow for efficient manufacturing and rapid assembly of the electric plug connector.
  • the electric plug connector comprises a contact insert with a chamber for introducing and for receiving a contact element, the chamber comprising an end-face opening for introducing the mating contact element corresponding to the contact element.
  • a fastening member which is configured and arranged in such a way that the contact element may be fixed in the contact insert by locking engagement. The invention thus allows, for example, the contact insert firstly to be fastened to a fastening element, and the contact element then to be introduced into the contact insert and to be fixed therein in a simple manner.
  • the contact element is, for example, already pre-assembled with a conductor connection member.
  • the conductor connection member is connected to an electric conductor and to the contact element.
  • the arrangement thus formed, consisting of the contact element and conductor connection member may then be introduced into the chamber of the contact insert and be fixed in the contact insert by locking engagement.
  • the arrangement thus pre-assembled, consisting of the contact element and conductor connection member is, for example, introduced from the connection side into the insulating element of the contact insert, where it is audibly locked.
  • the pre-assembly of the arrangement consisting of the contact element and conductor connection member allows efficient manufacturing of an electric plug connector, the locking method for fixing the arrangement thus formed in the contact insert allowing rapid assembly of the plug connector.
  • the fastening member is attached to the contact insert, the contact element being fixable by locking engagement on the fastening member attached to the contact insert.
  • the fastening member is, in particular, configured as a fastening clip, which is placed onto the contact insert in such a way that a portion of the perimeter of the contact insert is surrounded by the fastening clip. Efficient manufacturing and simple fixing of the contact element are thus possible.
  • the fastening member comprises at least one projection, to which the contact element is fixed by locking engagement.
  • the contact insert comprises at least one corresponding opening, for example in the form of a grooved slot, through which, in the attached state, the at least one projection of the fastening member engages with the chamber of the contact insert and thus allows the locking engagement of the contact element.
  • At least one mating projection which is connected to the contact element and which cooperates with the projection of the fastening member for producing a locking connection, is provided.
  • the mating projection may be provided directly on the contact element or on a part connected to the contact element, for example a conductor connection member connected to the contact element.
  • the contact insert is fixed to a fastening element using the fastening member, for example for forming a plug-connector assembly.
  • the fastening member therefore performs two functions: it is used, on the one hand, for fastening the contact insert to the fastening element and, on the other hand, for securing the contact element to the contact insert by locking to the fastening member. This allows efficient manufacturing and assembling of a plug-connector assembly and also simple fixing of the contact element.
  • the contact element for forming an electrical connection to a corresponding mating contact element is, for example, configured as a pin contact or as a socket contact, to be connected, for producing an electrical connection, to a corresponding socket contact or pin contact of a corresponding mating contact element.
  • the electric plug connector comprises a fastening element, which comprises an assembly opening, through which the contact insert is introduced and in which said insert is fixed, preferably in the above-described manner using the fastening member.
  • the fastening element is configured as a fastening plate, which is fixed to a housing.
  • the fastening plate preferably comprises a plurality of assembly openings for receiving, in each case, a contact insert, thus allowing a plug-connector assembly to be formed within a housing.
  • the contact insert is firstly fixed to the fastening element, and the arrangement consisting of the contact element and conductor connection member is then introduced into the chamber of the contact insert and is fixed in the contact insert by locking engagement.
  • An electric plug-connector arrangement may thus be produced basically in two process steps, in that the contact insert is firstly fixed to the fastening element, and the arrangement consisting of the contact element and conductor connection member is then locked merely in the contact insert. Awkward assembly of a plug connector on the fastening element, from different sides of the contact insert, is thus dispensed with.
  • a fastening member for example in the form of a fastening clip, that may be placed onto the contact insert.
  • a fastening member for example in the form of a fastening clip
  • This allows efficient assembling of a plug-connector assembly, especially if the fastening element is capable, for forming a plug-connector arrangement, of receiving a plurality of contact inserts comprising respective contact elements.
  • the fastening element comprises, for example, a plurality of assembly openings, through which a contact insert may, in each case, be introduced and in which said insert may be fixed.
