Definitions

  • connection module for connecting multi-core, shielded or unshielded installation cables, arranged in a housing on a circuit board multiple contact pin holders sitting in wire insertion slots on pins contact clamps and on the multiple contact pin holder attachable lids for pressing wires of an installation cable in the terminal cutting ,
  • a connection module can extend installation cables and reconnect damaged cables. In this way, a complex and costly relocation of cable segments can be avoided, especially in the case of structured cabling.
  • connection modules or extenders In known connection modules or extenders, the connection of two cable ends via insulation displacement terminals on a common circuit board.
  • the individual wires of the installation cables to be connected together are inserted into the wire slot and pressed into the insulation displacement terminals with a separate tool.
  • the printed circuit board is fixed in a housing part. After contacting the two cable ends of the housing part is closed with the connection point by pressing a lid.
  • connection modules A major disadvantage of the known connection modules is their two-part design and the requirement of a separate tool part for pressing the individual wires of the installation cable in the clamping edges of the contact pins.
  • the individual parts required for contacting and closing the module must often be painstakingly collected by the person performing the installation work.
  • connection module of the above to provide said type, with which the disadvantages of the connection modules of the prior art are avoided.
  • the housing has a base part and a hinged to the base part lid part, the circuit board is fixed to the base part and the lid are rotatably mounted as a pivot cover on the base part.
  • An essential advantage of the inventive module over the prior art modules is that all parts required for the proper use of the connection module are already pre-assembled and designed so that no auxiliary tools are required. Another advantage is the compact design of the inventive module.
  • the module is slimmer than the conventional modules with mostly rectangular housing and can therefore easily be laid together with other cables in a cable channel and moved easily in this.
  • the base part is connected to the lid part via a hinge joint.
  • the housing parts are expediently formed from plastic and are manufactured, for example, as an injection-molded part. Suitable plastics are e.g. Polyoxymethylene (POM) and acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS).
  • POM Polyoxymethylene
  • ABS acrylic butadiene styrene
  • the base part is connected to the cover part via a flexible connection and the housing consisting of base part, cover part and flexible connection is integrally molded from plastic.
  • the printed circuit board preferably rests on webs projecting from the base part and is detachably fixed on these via snap-down lugs, which also project from the base part, with terminal snap-in lugs which overlap the printed circuit board in its installed position in edge regions.
  • connection module protrude from the pivot covers parallel to each other guided pivot arms and are rotatably hinged in pairs on two common, both sides of the circuit board from the base part towering bearing parts.
  • Base part and cover part preferably have a circumferential, stepped edge and the edge of one housing part engages over the edge of the other housing part with a closed housing form fit.
  • at least one ratchet tooth projects inwards from the overlapping stepped edge. When the housing is closed, this locking tooth engages with a slot arranged in the overlapped stepped edge, thereby locking the two housing parts.
  • a metal strip guided under the printed circuit board as a shield connection penetrates the printed circuit board at opposite ends and forms on both sides a plug-in part formed into a groove with a pointed end.
  • a support part fastened to the printed circuit board is preferably arranged for supporting and fastening a cable. In a preferred embodiment with good shielding protrude from the support member parallel to the wire insertion slots of the multiple contact pin holder screen walls.
  • connection module is suitable for connecting or extending all common installation cables, in particular commercially available shielded and unshielded twisted pair installation cables Cat.5e, Cat.6 and Cat.7.
  • a connecting module 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 has a housing 12 made of plastic consisting of a base part 14 and a cover part 16.
  • the base part 14 and the cover part 16 are connected to each other via a hinge joint 18.
  • the two housing parts have stepped cylindrical half-shells 20, 22 for two different cable diameters.
  • the cylindrical half shells 20, 22 complement each other to a stepped tubular cable duct 24 at opposite ends of the housing 12.
  • the cable ducts 24 are concentric with each other and define a longitudinal axis x of the housing 12.
  • the cylindrical shells 20, 22 have positioning pins 23rd or positioning holes 21.
  • the positioning pins 23 of a half-shell 22 sit in the positioning holes 21 of the second half-shell 20 and thus lead to a stable connection of the two half-shells.
  • each wire insertion slot 32 protrudes from the circuit board 26 a contact pin with a transverse to the wire insertion slot 32 clamping blade (not shown in the drawing). Adjacent contact pins are arranged offset to one another.
  • Each multi-contact pin holder 28, 30 is associated with a pivot cover 38, 40.
  • 40 protrude pressure ribs 42 which penetrate when depressing the pivot cover 38, 40 on the multiple contact pin holder 28, 30 in the wire insertion slots 32 and push inserted into the slots wires in the clamping edges of the contact pins.
  • This is in each pressure rib 42 is provided a recess 43 for receiving the contact pins.
  • Adjacent pressure ribs 42 have, corresponding to the mutually offset contact pins, mutually offset recesses 43.
  • a made of a metal strip shield connection 44 extends below the circuit board 26, penetrates this at two opposite ends and ends in a respective groove formed with a tapered end plug part 46.
  • the male part 46 is between the cable sheath and the underlying shielding shell of the installation cable 70 to be connected introduced.
  • support member 48 Below the male part 46 a fixed to the circuit board 26 support member 48 is arranged for a cable 70. For strain relief, the support member 48 resting cable is attached to a commercially available cable tie 49 on the support member 48.
  • transverse webs 52 From the interior of the base member 14 projecting transverse webs 52 serve the support and lateral guidance of the circuit board 26.
  • the front side is the circuit board 26 uprising from the base member 14 straps 54, which also serve the exact positioning of the circuit board 26 in the longitudinal axis x of the housing 12.
  • the free ends are formed as snap lugs 57, which engage over the printed circuit board 26 as a snap connection when depressing the circuit board 26 on the transverse webs 52 in the base part 14.
  • pivot covers 38, 40 For rotatably supporting the pivot cover 38, 40 protrude from the base part 14th two opposing bearing parts 58 with paired openings 60 from.
  • the pivot covers 38, 40 each have a pair of pivot arms 64, at the ends of outwardly facing pins 62 are formed.
  • the pins 62 store in the openings 60 of the bearing parts 58 and form the axis of rotation for the pivot cover 38, 40th
  • Spacers 66 projecting from the base part 14 to the cover part 16 are designed as two leg parts with a connecting web and simultaneously serve to receive two locking cams 68 arranged on the outside of the pivot covers 38, 40 when the pivot cover 38, 40 is depressed.
  • Base part 14 and cover part 16 each have a stepped edge 78, 80.
  • the stepped edge 80 of the cover part 16 engages over the stepped edge 78 of the base part 14 in a form-fitting manner.
  • Two ratchet teeth 76 projecting inwardly from the stepped edge 80 in the cover part 16 penetrate correspondingly arranged slots 74 in the stepped edge 78 of the base part 14 when the housing 12 is closed, thus locking the two housing parts 14, 16.
  • the wires 72 are inserted into the corresponding wire insertion slots 32 of the contact pin holders 28, 30. Subsequently, the pivot covers 38, 40 are depressed until the engagement of the locking cams 68 between the leg portions of the spacer 66. By means of cable ties 49, the cables 70 are fixed to the strain relief on the support members 48. Thereafter, the connected via the hinge joint 18 with the base member 14 lid member 16 is pivoted to the engagement of the locking teeth 76 in the slots 74 and the housing 12 is closed in this manner.
