Aus der US 2003/0176104 A1 ist ein Koaxialsteckverbinder mit einem Kunststoffgehäuse bekannt, welcher dem sog. FAKRA-Standardisierungsschema (FAKRA = Fachkreis Automobiltechnik) für SMB-Verbindungen entspricht. Hierbei ist ein Kunststoffgehäuse vorgesehen, welches den Steckverbinder hält, schützt und für den Steckvorgang mit einem anderen Steckverbinder mit Kunststoffgehäuse vorpositioniert. Das Gehäuse weist zusätzlich mechanische Kodierungen auf, so dass nur zusammen passende Gehäuse ineinander gesteckt werden können.From the US 2003/0176104 A1 is a coaxial connector with a plastic housing known, which corresponds to the so-called. FAKRA standardization scheme (FAKRA = Fa ch kr ice A utomobiltechnik ) for SMB connections. in this connection a plastic housing is provided which holds the connector, protects and pre-positioned for the mating process with another connector with plastic housing. The housing has additional mechanical coding, so that only matching housing can be plugged into each other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Koaxialsteckverbinder für ein Koaxialkabel der o.g. Art bzgl. Funktionssicherheit und möglichen bzw. zulässigen Anwendungsumgebungen bzw. Umgebungsbedingungen zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to provide a coaxial connector for a coaxial cable o.g. To improve the type of functional safety and possible or permissible application environments or environmental conditions.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Koaxialsteckverbinder der o.g. Art mit den in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a coaxial connector of o.g. Art solved with the features characterized in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the further claims.

Bei einem Koaxialsteckverbinder der o.g. Art ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass eine Dichthülse das Außenleiterteil in Umfangsrichtung vollständig und in axialer Richtung wenigstens in einem Bereich umgibt, welcher sich von einem in radialer Richtung allseits geschlossenen Teil des Gehäuses am koaxialkabelseitigen Ende des Gehäuses bis in den Steckbereich für den Gegenstecker am steckseitigen Ende des Gehäuses hinein erstreckt.In a coaxial connector of o.g. It is inventively provided that a sealing sleeve surrounds the outer conductor part in the circumferential direction completely and in the axial direction at least in a region which extends from a radially closed part of the housing on coaxialkabelseitigen end of the housing into the mating area for the mating connector on the plug side Extends into the end of the housing.

Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Koaxialsteckverbinder innerhalb des Gehäuses gegen das Eindringen von Fluiden abgedichtet ist, wobei diese Abdichtung unabhängig von etwaigen radialen Durchbrüchen des Gehäuses beispielsweise im Bereich des Rastmechanismus ist. Hierdurch wird ohne Änderungen am Gehäuse eine vollständige Abdichtung erzielt, so dass für einer Norm entsprechende Gehäuse, wie beispielsweise FAKRA-Standardisierungsschema entsprechenden Gehäusen, eine vollständige Abdichtung des Bereiches der Koaxialsteckverbindung zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann. Dies macht eine Anwendung von derartigen Koaxialsteckverbindern auch in Umgebungen mit besonderen Umgebungsbedingungen, wie beispielsweise nassen Umgebungen oder Umgebungen mit korrodierenden Fluiden, insbesondere in einem Motorraum eines Kraftfahrzeugs, möglich, ohne dass die Funktionsfähigkeit der Koaxialsteckverbindung durch die besonderen Umgebungsbedingungen, beispielsweise durch Kurzschluss, Korrosion oder Verschmutzung, beeinträchtigt wird.This has the advantage that the coaxial connector is sealed within the housing against the ingress of fluids, which seal is independent of any radial openings of the housing, for example in the region of the latching mechanism. As a result, a complete seal is achieved without changes to the housing, so that for a standard appropriate housing, such as FAKRA standardization scheme corresponding housings, a complete seal of the range of coaxial connector can be provided. This makes it possible to use such coaxial connectors even in environments with special environmental conditions, such as wet environments or environments with corrosive fluids, especially in an engine compartment of a motor vehicle, without the functionality of the coaxial connector due to the particular environmental conditions, For example, by short circuit, corrosion or contamination is impaired.

Eine zusätzliche Abdichtung des Koaxialsteckverbinders zwischen Außenleiterteil und Gegengehäuse im Steckbereich erzielt man dadurch, dass der Steckbereich in Richtung des koaxialkabelseitigen Endes des Gehäuses durch eine ringförmige Stirnfläche des Gehäuses begrenzt ist, wobei am Außenumfang der Dichthülse eine erste O-Ring-Dichtung angeordnet ist, welche in axialer Richtung zwischen der ringförmigen Stirnfläche des Gehäuses und dem steckseitigen Ende des Gehäuses in dem Steckbereich derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass die erste O-Ring-Dichtung in einen ringförmigen Bereich innerhalb des Gehäuses hineinragt, welcher im Gehäuse zum Einstecken für einen Abschnitt des Gegengehäuses ausgespart ist. Hierdurch liegt bei in das Gehäuse eingestecktem Gegengehäuse die erste O-Ring-Dichtung an einer Innenseite des Gegengehäuses an.An additional sealing of the coaxial connector between the outer conductor part and the mating housing in the mating region is achieved in that the mating region is limited in the direction of the coaxial cable end of the housing by an annular end face of the housing, wherein on the outer circumference of the sealing sleeve, a first O-ring seal is arranged is arranged and formed in the axial direction between the annular end face of the housing and the plug-side end of the housing in the plug-in region such that the first O-ring seal protrudes into an annular region within the housing, which in the housing for insertion for a portion of Counter housing is omitted. As a result, is located in the housing inserted counter housing, the first O-ring seal on an inner side of the mating housing.

Eine zusätzliche Abdichtung des Koaxialsteckverbinders zwischen Außenleiterteil und Gehäuse erzielt man dadurch, dass am Außenumfang der Dichthülse eine zweite O-Ring-Dichtung angeordnet ist, welche in axialer Richtung zwischen dem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende des Gehäuses und dem Steckbereich derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass die zweite O-Ring-Dichtung radial an einem Innenumfang des Gehäuses anliegt.An additional sealing of the coaxial connector between the outer conductor part and the housing is achieved in that on the outer circumference of the sealing sleeve, a second O-ring seal is arranged, which is arranged and formed in the axial direction between the coaxial cable end of the housing and the mating region such that the second O-ring seal rests radially on an inner circumference of the housing.

Eine zusätzliche Abdichtung des Koaxialsteckverbinders zwischen Koaxialkabel und koaxialkabelseitigen Ende des Gehäuses erzielt man dadurch, dass an dem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende des Gehäuses eine in radialer Richtung an einer Innenseite des Gehäuses anliegende Ringdichtung mit axialer Öffnung für das Koaxialkabel angeordnet ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist hierbei der Innendurchmesser der axialen Öffnung der Ringdichtung kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des Koaxialkabels.An additional sealing of the coaxial connector between the coaxial cable and coaxial cable end of the housing is achieved in that at the coaxial cable side end of the housing in the radial direction on an inner side of the housing adjacent annular seal with axial opening for the coaxial cable is arranged. Appropriately, in this case, the inner diameter of the axial opening of the ring seal is smaller than the outer diameter of the coaxial cable.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine Crimphülse vorgesehen, welche an einem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende des Außenleiterteils zusammen mit einem Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels aufgecrimpt ist. Die Crimphülse ist beispielsweise an ihrem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende auf ein steckseitiges Ende der Ringdichtung aufgecrimpt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a crimping sleeve is provided, which is crimped on a coaxial cable-side end of the outer conductor part together with an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The Crimping sleeve is crimped example, at its coaxial cable end to a plug-side end of the ring seal.

Eine Verrastung für ein über das Koaxialkabel geführtes Wellrohr erzielt man dadurch, dass an dem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende des Gehäuses eine insbesondere einstückig mit dem Gehäuse ausgebildete axiale Verlängerung mit wenigstens einer radial nach innen gerichteten, federelastischen Rastzunge angeordnet ist.A catch for a guided over the coaxial corrugated pipe is achieved by the fact that at the coaxial cable end of the housing an in particular integrally formed with the housing axial extension is arranged with at least one radially inwardly directed, resilient latching tongue.

Die aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtliche, bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialsteckverbinders für ein Koaxialkabel 10 umfasst ein Gehäuse 12 aus elektrisch isolierendem Werkstoff, welches an einem steckseitigen Ende 14 zum Einstecken eines Koaxialgegensteckverbinders mit Gegengehäuse offen ist. Im Gehäuse 12 ist ein Steckbereich 18 für das Gegengehäuse ausgebildet, in den das Gegengehäuse in gestecktem Zustand hinein ragt. In Richtung des koaxialkabelseitigen Endes 20 des Gehäuses 12 ist dieser Steckbereich 18 durch eine ringförmige Stirnfläche 19 an einer Innenseite des Gehäuses 12 begrenzt. An dem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 weist das Gehäuse 12 eine axiale Öffnung zum Durchführen des Koaxialkabels 10 auf. Im Gehäuse 12 ist ein Innenleiterteil 22 zum elektrischen Verbinden mit einem Innenleiter 24 des Koaxialkabels sowie ein Außenleiterteil 26 zum elektrischen Verbinden mit einem Außenleiter 28 des Koaxialkabels 10 angeordnet. Am Gehäuse 12 ist ein Rastmechanismus (nicht dargestellt) derart angeordnet und ausgebildet, dass dieser das Außenleiterteil 26 in dem Gehäuse 12 wenigstens in axialer Richtung fixiert.The from the Fig. 1 and 2 apparent, preferred embodiment of a coaxial connector according to the invention for a coaxial cable 10 comprises a housing 12 made of electrically insulating material which is open at a plug-side end 14 for insertion of a Koaxialgegensteckverbinders with mating housing. In the housing 12, a plug-in region 18 is formed for the counter housing, in which the counter housing protrudes in the inserted state. In the direction of the coaxial cable-side end 20 of the housing 12, this plug-in area 18 is bounded by an annular end face 19 on an inner side of the housing 12. At the coaxial cable end 20, the housing 12 has an axial opening for passing through the coaxial cable 10. In the housing 12, an inner conductor part 22 for electrical connection to an inner conductor 24 of the coaxial cable and an outer conductor part 26 for electrical connection to an outer conductor 28 of the coaxial cable 10 is arranged. On the housing 12, a latching mechanism (not shown) is arranged and formed such that it fixes the outer conductor part 26 in the housing 12 at least in the axial direction.

Das Außenleiterteil 26 ist an seinem dem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 des Gehäuses 12 zugewandten Ende mit einem rohrförmigen Abschnitt 30 mit verringertem Durchmesser ausgebildet. Auf diesen rohrförmigen Abschnitt 30 ist eine Crimphülse 32 mit dazwischen liegendem Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels 10 aufgecrimpt. Dies erzielt einen elektrischen Kontakt und eine mechanische Verbindung (Zugentlastung) zwischen dem Außenleiter 28 des Koaxialkabels 10 und dem Außenleiterteil 26.The outer conductor part 26 is formed at its coaxial cable side end 20 of the housing 12 end facing with a tubular portion 30 of reduced diameter. On this tubular portion 30, a crimping sleeve 32 is crimped with intermediate outer conductor of the coaxial cable 10. This achieves an electrical contact and a mechanical connection (strain relief) between the outer conductor 28 of the coaxial cable 10 and the outer conductor part 26.

Am koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 des Gehäuses 12 ist eine Ringdichtung 34 angeordnet, welche eine Abdichtung zwischen dem Koaxialkabel 10 und dem Gehäuse 12 zur Verfügung stellt.At the coaxial cable-side end 20 of the housing 12, an annular seal 34 is arranged, which provides a seal between the coaxial cable 10 and the housing 12.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Dichthülse 36 vorgesehen, welche einen vorbestimmten Bereich des Außenleiterteils 26 umgibt. Dieser vorbestimmte Bereich ist in Umfangsrichtung vollflächig geschlossen und erstreckt sich in axialer Richtung von einem in radialer Richtung allseits geschlossenen Teil des Gehäuses 12 am koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 des Gehäuses 12 bis in den Steckbereich 18 für das Gegengehäuse am steckseitigen Ende 14 des Gehäuses 12. Somit überdeckt die Dichthülse 36 einen Bereich, in dem sich der Rastmechanismus befindet, d.h. ein Bereich, in dem im Gehäuse 12 Durchbrechungen vorhanden sind, die die Umgebung des Koaxialsteckverbinders mit dem Innenraum des Gehäuses 12 fluidleitend verbinden. Zusätzlich sind auf der Dichthülse 36 eine steckseitige erste O-Ring-Dichtung 38 und eine koaxialkabelseitige zweite O-Ring-Dichtung 40 vorgesehen. Die zweite O-Ring-Dichtung 40 ist in axialer Richtung gesehen zwischen dem koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 des Gehäuses 12 und dem Steckbereich 18 angeordnet und liegt an einer Innenseite des Gehäuses 12 dichtend an, so dass die zweite O-Ring-Dichtung 40 eine axiale Abdichtung gegen Eindringen von Fluid, insbesondere Wasser, zur Verfügung stellt.According to the invention, a sealing sleeve 36 is provided, which surrounds a predetermined area of the outer conductor part 26. This predetermined area is closed over the entire surface in the circumferential direction and extends in the axial direction from a radially closed part of the housing 12 at coaxial cable end 20 of the housing 12 to the mating portion 18 for the mating housing at the plug-side end 14 of the housing 12. Thus covered the sealing sleeve 36 a region in which the latching mechanism is located, ie an area in which apertures are present in the housing 12, which connect the environment of the coaxial connector with the interior of the housing 12 fluid-conducting. In addition, a plug-side first O-ring seal 38 and a coaxial cable side second O-ring seal 40 are provided on the sealing sleeve 36. The second O-ring seal 40 is disposed between the coaxial cable-side end 20 of the housing 12 and the plug-in portion 18 in the axial direction and sealingly abuts an inner side of the housing 12, so that the second O-ring seal 40 forms an axial seal against ingress of fluid, especially water, provides.

Die erste O-Ring-Dichtung 38 ist in axialer Richtung gesehen zwischen der ringförmigen Stirnfläche 19 des Gehäuses 12 und dem steckseitigen Ende 14 des Gehäuses 12 in dem Steckbereich 18 derart angeordnet und ausgebildet, dass die erste O-Ring-Dichtung 38 in einen ringförmigen Bereich innerhalb des Gehäuses 12 hineinragt, in dem sich ein Abschnitt des Gegengehäuses befindet, wenn der Koaxialgegensteckverbinder in den Koaxialsteckverbinder eingesteckt ist. Auf diese Weise liegt die erste O-Ring-Dichtung 38 in radialer Richtung dichtend an einer Innenseite des Gegengehäuses an.The first O-ring seal 38 is arranged in the axial direction between the annular end face 19 of the housing 12 and the plug-side end 14 of the housing 12 in the plug-in region 18 and formed such that the first O-ring seal 38 in an annular Area inside the housing 12 protrudes, in which a portion of the mating housing is when the Koaxialgegensteckverbinder is inserted into the coaxial connector. In this way, the first O-ring seal 38 bears sealingly in the radial direction against an inner side of the mating housing.

Ein Bereich innerhalb der Dichthülse 36 ist somit vollständig gegen das Eindringen von Fluid, insbesondere Wasser, abgedichtet. Unabhängig von der Ausbildung des Gehäuses und des Gegengehäuses, mit etwaigen Durchbrechungen in radialer Richtung, sind daher bei zusammengesteckten Gehäuse 12 und Gegengehäuse alle metallischen Teile des Koaxialsteckverbinders, nämlich Außenleiterteil 26 und Innenleiterteil 22, gegen einen Kontakt mit Fluid aus der Umgebung, insbesondere Feuchtigkeit, wirksam abgedichtet, so dass auch in feuchten Umgebungen eine Korrosion innerhalb des Koaxialsteckverbinders wirksam vermieden ist. Für diese Abdichtung müssen das Gehäuse 12 oder das Gegengehäuse nicht verändert werden, sondern dürfen im Gegenteil Durchbrechungen aufweisen, durch die Fluid, wie beispielsweise Wasser, in einen Raum innerhalb des Gehäuses 12 eindringen kann. Dieses eingedrungene Fluid bleibt jedoch zwischen Dichthülse 36, Innenseite des Gehäuses 12 und den beiden O-Ring-Dichtungen 38 und 40 gefangen und kann dadurch nicht zu den metallischen Teilen des Koaxialsteckverbinders durchdringen. Mit anderen Worten sind Stoßflächen zwischen Gehäuse 12 und Gegengehäuse sowie etwaige Durchbrechungen im Gehäuse 12, beispielsweise aufgrund von Rastmechanismen, innerhalb des Gehäuses 12 abgedichtet.An area within the sealing sleeve 36 is thus completely sealed against the penetration of fluid, in particular water. Regardless of the design of the housing and the mating housing, with any openings in the radial direction, are therefore plugged together housing 12 and mating housing all metallic parts of the coaxial connector, namely outer conductor part 26 and inner conductor part 22 against contact with fluid from the environment, especially moisture, effectively sealed, so that even in humid environments, corrosion within the coaxial connector is effectively avoided. For this seal, the housing 12 or the counter housing must not be changed, but on the contrary may have openings through which fluid, such as water, can penetrate into a space within the housing 12. However, this penetrated fluid remains trapped between the sealing sleeve 36, inside the housing 12 and the two O-ring seals 38 and 40 and thereby can not penetrate to the metallic parts of the coaxial connector. In other words, abutting surfaces between the housing 12 and the counter housing as well as any openings in the housing 12, for example due to latching mechanisms, sealed within the housing 12.

Die Ringdichtung 34 schafft eine zusätzliche Abdichtung am koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 des Gehäuses 12 gegen ein Eindringen von Fluid entlang des Mantels des Koaxialkabels 10.The ring seal 34 provides additional sealing at the coaxial cable end 20 of the housing 12 against ingress of fluid along the jacket of the coaxial cable 10.

Am koaxialkabelseitigen Ende 20 des Gehäuses 12 ist ferner ein rohrförmiger Abschnitt bzw. eine rohrförmige Verlängerung 42 vorgesehen, welche zwei gegenüberliegende, radial nach innen gerichtete, federelastische Rastzungen 44 aufweist. Diese dienen zum Einrasten eines Wellrohres 46, welches ggf. als mechanischer Schutz über das Koaxialkabel 10 außerhalb des Koaxialsteckverbinders geschoben ist.At the coaxial cable end 20 of the housing 12, a tubular portion or a tubular extension 42 is further provided, which has two opposite, radially inwardly directed, resilient locking tongues 44. These are used for locking a corrugated tube 46, which is possibly pushed as a mechanical protection over the coaxial cable 10 outside of the coaxial connector.
