Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector for use between a can (squib) and an electrical control device for a restraint system in motor vehicles, for example an airbag.
  • Such connectors should generally have the smallest possible dimensions due to the limited space available in restraint systems. It follows that individual components of the connector or the associated can / squib have only an extremely small size, but nevertheless in relation to the safety application (for example, belt tensioner, airbag) easy assembly on the one hand and high reliability on the other is required.
  • the safety application for example, belt tensioner, airbag
  • this problem is solved, for example, in that in a first step, the plug and the socket are contacted and latched and in a second step, a locking member is guided as a so-called secondary locking behind the locking arms of the plug to the latch against unintentional release to secure.
  • Connectors of the aforementioned type are in the EP 1 150 389 A1 , according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as the EP 1 207 591 A1 disclosed.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is to block the plug in a preassembled state by the secondary locking means in such a way that initially plugging of the plug into the can or into the insulating ring arranged in the can is prevented. Only by pressure on the secondary locking means in the insertion direction S plugging of the plug into the box or the insulating ring is made possible.
  • the electrical connector is designed so that the joining process is possible only by pressure on the secondary locking means in the insertion direction to the fully locked position of the plug.
  • the latching lug is attached to a directed in the insertion direction S primary latching arm of the plug and protruding therefrom, wherein extending parallel to the Primärrastarm Sekundärrastarm engages behind the primary latching arm on the side facing away from the latching lug.
  • a molded in the insertion direction of the latching ramp normally ensures that the Primärrastarm 14 rebounds to the middle of the connector until the plug engages in the latching latch recess in the primary locking position. This is now prevented by the secondary detent arm.
  • the detent By the locking lug is blocked in the pre-assembly by a latching hook attached to the secondary detent arm, which projects substantially in the direction of the detent from the secondary detent arm, the detent can be positioned in the release position behind a latch hook recess of the primary detent arm and thereby release the latch.
  • the plug locks in a primary locking direction PR
  • the secondary locking means latches in a secondary locking direction SR which is orthogonal to the primary locking direction PR and to the connecting direction S.
  • the plug is locked at the same time.
  • the secondary locking means may comprise two secondary detent arms, which may also be fork-shaped, wherein on each leg of the secondary detent arm protrudes a projection in the opposite direction in the secondary detent direction SR. Both the secondary detent arm and the secondary locking means may be formed axially symmetrical.
  • Fig. 1 left is a sectional side view of an electrical connector according to the invention with a plug 10, which is shown only partially shown. Furthermore, part of the invention, a running through the plug 10 secondary locking means 30, also referred to as a push button. The plug 10 is inserted together with the secondary locking means 30 in an insulating ring 52 which is inserted in a socket 50.
  • the plugging direction is indicated in all figures by an arrow with the letter S, while a primary catching direction is in each case marked with a double arrow and the letter combination PR.
  • the primary detent direction PR indicates the approximate detent direction in which the Primary latching means, here lateral locking lugs 15, in a snap-in recess 55 of the box compress or latch.
  • a secondary locking direction SR is indicated, which essentially indicates the direction in which a locking of the secondary locking means 30 in a secondary locking position according to Fig. 3 is effected.
  • a housing 11 of the plug 10 consists of a housing cover 11 d and a housing shell 11u.
  • the housing 11 has through openings corresponding to the secondary locking means 30, and a base plate 30p is integrated in the secondary locking position into a housing recess 11a, so that the plug 10 terminates as flat as possible in the locked position.
  • the secondary locking means 30 has a pointing in the direction of insertion S tuning fork shape, which is closed at the top with the base plate 30p.
  • the secondary locking means 30 has a U-shape with the U upside down.
  • the two legs of the U-shaped secondary locking means 30 are formed by the secondary locking arms 31 and connected to each other via the base plate 30p.
  • Each leg 31 divides fork-shaped into two legs 31s1 and 31s2 from about halfway.
  • Guide arms 34 provide for the proper guidance of the secondary locking means 30 in the plug 10 and, in the secondary locking position, may additionally serve to separate a shorting bridge (not shown) between the contact pins 51.
  • FIG. 3 Finally, the locked arrangement of the electrical connector is shown, in which the secondary locking means 30 is completely immersed in the plug 10 and projections 33 of the secondary locking means 30 engage in corresponding recesses 18 of the connector 10. In this position, the latching hooks 32 and further above on the secondary latching arm integrally formed disassembly lugs 35 block the primary latching arm 14, so that the latching lug 15 is locked in the latching lug recess 55 in this position inextricably.
  • Fig. 5 the removal of the plug 10 from the box 50 is shown.
  • the secondary locking means 30 must first be pulled against the spring force of return springs 19 and against the spring force of the recesses 18 engaged projections 33 on the legs 31s1 / 31s2 until the disassembly lugs 35 come to rest on the housing cover 11d and the locking hooks 32 behind the second Latch hook recesses 16.2 come to rest and thus the primary latching arm and the locking lug 15 are released tocontestedfedern from the latching lug recess 55.
  • the secondary locking means 30 is shown again in a perspective view.
