Bei dem Zusammensetzen dieser Steckverbinder kann es zu Fehlern kommen und für den harnes maker wird es sich nicht lohnen, diesen Vorgang automatisieren zu wollen, da für ihn dieser Steckverbinder nur einer von vielen ist, der bei bestimmten Verdrahtungen zum Einsatz kommtThe DE 101 46 430 A1 describes a connector for airbag systems with a housing to which a 90 ° angled male part is arranged and around which the plug contacts and electronic elements for protection against EMI influences are arranged. The housing part is closed by a lid secured by latching on the housing, through which a bracket of a secondary lock engages in the plug part. Such a connector is supplied to automotive suppliers who are harness maker for component parts so that they can wire the contacts and then assemble and deliver them to the customer. There may be some errors in assembling these connectors, and for the harnes maker it will not be worthwhile to automate this process because for him, this connector is just one of many that is used on certain wirings

Die EP 1 150 389 B1 beschreibt einen Steckverbinders mit Kontakten mit je einem Anschlußende für ein Kabel, einem Gehäuse und einem Deckel, wobei das Gehäuse und der Deckel auf der Höhe des Anschlussendes der Kontakte jeweils eine Klappe aufweisen, in denen Offenstellung die Anschlussenden der Kontakte zum Befestigen der Kabel frei zugänglich sind.The EP 1 150 389 B1 describes a connector with contacts each having a terminal end for a cable, a housing and a lid, wherein the housing and the lid at the level of the terminal end of the contacts each having a flap, in which open position, the terminal ends of the contacts for attaching the cable freely accessible are.

Die US-A 5,716,235 zeigt einen Verbinder, an dessen Gehäuse Sollbruchstellen angeordnet sind, die dazu dienen, den Verbinder aus einer vorläufigen Konfiguration in eine Endposition überführbar zu gestalten.The US Pat. No. 5,716,235 shows a connector, on the housing predetermined breaking points are arranged, which serve to make the connector from a preliminary configuration to an end position convertible.

Aus der EP 0 579 884 A1 ist es bekannt, Gehäuseteile mit Schnappverschlüssen aneinander zu verrasten. Durch die US-A-5 575 681 ist ein Steckverbinder mit den Merkmalen der Oberbegriffe der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 13 bekannt.From the EP 0 579 884 A1 It is known to lock housing parts with snap closures to each other.

Die Bestandteile eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders 1 zeigt Fig. 1, von unten nach oben aufgelistet wie folgt: ein Gehäuse 6 mit einem Steckansatz 7 nimmt Kontakte 2 auf, einschließlich deren Ferritelemente 8. Das Gehäuse 6 wird durch einen Deckel 9 verschlossen, durch den ein Bügel 18 einer Sekundärverriegelung 19 durchgreift. Die Sekundärverriegelung 19 hat zwei Verraststellungen, eine Montagestellung und eine Endstellung, in der sie die Verbindung zwischen dem Steckverbinder und dem Zünder eines Airbagsystems verriegelt.The components of a connector 1 according to the invention shows Fig. 1 , listed from bottom to top as follows: a housing 6 with a plug neck 7 receives contacts 2, including their ferrite 8. The housing 6 is closed by a cover 9 through which a bracket 18 of a secondary latch 19 passes. The secondary latch 19 has two latch positions, a mounting position and an end position in which it locks the connection between the connector and the igniter of an airbag system.

Kontakte 2 weisen ein Stecker- bzw. Buchsenende 3 auf und ein hinteres Anschlussende 4 zur Verbindung mit Anschlusskabeln 5. Der Deckel 9 wird auf dem Gehäuse 6 durch Verrasten von Rastlaschen 25 mit Rastnasen 24 befestigt. Durch das Verrasten des Deckels 9 auf dem Gehäuse 6 sind alle inneren Bestandteile des Steckverbinders lagegesichert.Contacts 2 have a plug or socket end 3 and a rear connection end 4 for connection to connecting cables 5. The cover 9 is fixed to the housing 6 by latching of locking tabs 25 with locking lugs 24. By locking the lid 9 on the housing 6 all internal components of the connector are secured in position.

In Fig. 2(a) weist der linke Teil des Deckels 9 eine Klappe 10 auf, die um die Achse 12 nach oben verschwenkbar ist. Die Schwenkachse wird dadurch gebildet, dass der Deckel, der ein Kunststoffspritzgussteil ist, dort eine geringere Materialstärke aufweist, sodass die obere Klappe 10 um diese Materialverdünnung herum verschwenkbar ist. In geschlossener Stellung verrastet die obere Klappe 10 durch Rastlaschen 14 an entsprechenden Rastnasen 15 am Gehäuse 6. Auf der Oberseite der Klappe 10 sind Rastelemente 16 angebracht, die mit entsprechenden Rastelementen 17 an der gegenüberliegenden Kante des Bügels 18 der Sekundärverriegelung 19 einschnappen können, wodurch sowohl die Stellung des Bügels 18 der Sekundärverriegelung 19 als auch die geöffnete Stellung der oberen Klappe 10 fixiert sind. Eine ähnliche Befestigung der Klappe (11) ist (hier nicht gezeigt) am Gehäuse (G) möglich.In Fig. 2 (a) For example, the left part of the lid 9 has a flap 10 which is pivotable upwardly about the axis 12. The pivot axis is formed by the fact that the lid, which is a plastic injection molded part, there has a lower material thickness, so that the upper flap 10 to this Material dilution is pivotable around. In the closed position, the upper flap 10 is latched by locking tabs 14 on corresponding locking lugs 15 on the housing 6. On the top of the flap 10 locking elements 16 are mounted, which can snap with corresponding locking elements 17 at the opposite edge of the bracket 18 of the secondary latch 19, whereby both the position of the bracket 18 of the secondary latch 19 and the open position of the upper flap 10 are fixed. A similar attachment of the flap (11) is (not shown here) on the housing (G) possible.

Fig. 2(a) zeigt den erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder 1 von schräg oben mit geöffneter oberer Klappe 10. Man erkennt, dass die Kabelanschlussenden 4 der Kontakte 2 bei geöffneter oberer Klappe 10 von oben frei zugänglich sind. Fig. 2(b) zeigt den Steckverbinder von unten, ebenfalls mit geöffneter unterer Klappe 11, sodass der Anschlussbereich 4 der Kontakte 2 ebenfalls nach unten freiliegt. Damit ist die Möglichkeit geschaffen, bei sonst vollständig montiertem und geschlossenem Steckverbinder die Verdrahtung vorzugsweise durch Verkrimpen vorzunehmen. Dazu wird der Steckverbinder mit geöffneten Klappen 10 und 11 auf einen Krimpamboss (nicht gezeigt) abgelegt und die Kabelanschlussenden der Kontakte 2 werden durch ein Krimpwerkzeug von der gegenüberliegenden Seite aus verformt. Fig. 2 (a) shows the connector 1 according to the invention obliquely from above with open upper flap 10. It can be seen that the cable connection ends 4 of the contacts 2 are freely accessible from above with the upper flap 10 open. Fig. 2 (b) shows the connector from below, also with open lower flap 11, so that the connection portion 4 of the contacts 2 also exposed down. Thus, the possibility is created to make the wiring preferably by crimping in otherwise fully assembled and closed connector. For this purpose, the connector with opened flaps 10 and 11 is placed on a Krimpamboss (not shown) and the cable terminal ends of the contacts 2 are deformed by a crimping tool from the opposite side.

In dieser Stellung sind die Ferritkerne und die Sekundärverriegelung 19 sowie die Kontakte 2 jeweils starr gehaltert, sodass es hier zu keinen Unregelmäßigkeiten kommen kann. Die Schutzmäntel der Kabel 5 sind in Zugentlastungen 21 eingepresst, die durch in das Mantelmaterial eingreifende Zähne die Kabel haltern. Um die Kabel 5 fester in die Zugentlastungen 21 zu pressen, sind auf der Unterseite der Klappe 10 Formteile 20 angeformt, die bei verrasteter Klappe 10 die Kabel 5 fester in die Zugentlastung 21 einpressen.In this position, the ferrite cores and the secondary lock 19 and the contacts 2 are each rigidly supported, so that there can be no irregularities here. The protective sheaths of the cable 5 are pressed into Zugentlastungen 21, which hold the cable by engaging in the sheath material teeth.
