Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector designed as a plug or coupler of a plug-in connector plugged together, according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • FIG. 2 An embodiment of a known connector is based on the FIG. 2 , which documents the prior art explained.
  • the in FIG. 2 shown connector 10 has a connector housing 11, in particular made of plastic, on.
  • the connector housing 11 has at least one chamber 12, as a rule a plurality of chambers into which the end region of a line 13 is introduced.
  • the cross section of the chamber 12 is greater than the cross section of the conduit 13, so that between a game is possible.
  • a contact partner 14 is struck on the electrical conductor, in particular by means of a crimp connection 15.
  • a primary Verlegelung also called down the contact partner 14 is provided in the connector housing 11. This is done via one or more tabs 17 which are resilient and part of the contact partner 14. These tabs 17 are compressed upon insertion of the contact partner 14 in the chamber 12 and spread apart when the contact partner 14 has reached its end position in the connector housing 11.
  • the thus finished connector 10 still has a housing opening 18 for receiving a complementary mating connector, in which the contact partner of the mating connector can be used.
  • the primary locking of the contact partner 14 in the chamber 12 of the connector housing 11 prevents that the contact partner 14 can move out of the connector housing 11 in principle.
  • Such movements are caused by tensile and compressive stresses of the conduit 13, vibrations of the environment in which the connector 10 is used, temperature fluctuations and the like.
  • appropriate measures also called strain relief
  • Another embodiment of a connector is from the DE 199 48 037 A1 known.
  • the advantage of this known connector is the avoidance of a contact partner who is struck at the end of the electrical conductor of the line.
  • both the end region of the electrical line and the exposed electrical conductors are fixed by the connector housing for receiving the insertion forces when mating connector and coupler.
  • FIG. 1 of the DE 199 48 037 A1 already achieved a strain relief of the line characterized in that they are surrounded by the connector housing, is overmoulded in particular.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a connector that avoids the disadvantages described above, which is a cost-effective and customizable solution, especially in the series production (mass production) to the error possibilities that are known so far (in particular wear and break contact ), to eliminate.
  • the one- or multi-part connector housing can be manufactured and matched to the known geometric shapes of the electrical line (cross-sectional shape or diameter), without the line in the production of the connector housing must be inserted into the injection mold.
  • the design of the means for play-free position fixation of the end portion of the line as a separate component (one or more parts) has the advantage that these means can be optimally adapted to the cross section of the chamber and the cross section of the line and its axial extent.
  • the means for fixing the position are formed positively and / or positively.
  • a traction becomes, for example, thereby manufactured, that the outer jacket of the conduit is glued to the inner contour of the chamber.
  • a positive connection of the connection between the outer casing of the conduit and the inner contour of the chamber is realized for example by a pressing or crimping, including, for example, the inner contour of the chamber transverse to the axial extent of the conduit ribs which form a cross-section which is smaller than that Cross-section of the line, so that when inserting the line over these ribs away or when assembling at least two parts of the multi-part connector housing press the outer contours of the ribs on the outer shell and fix this clearance within the connector housing in position, so that the contact area of Vibrations, vibrations and other movements is decoupled.
  • the invention thus offers the advantage that the positional fixing of the line, in particular its end region, can be selected in the connector housing so that a vibration introduction via the electrical line is prevented up to the contacting region.
  • This is achieved by the play-free position fixing of the line in the one or more parts connector housing, in particular made of plastic, so that the contacting zone is decoupled.
  • FIG. 1 shows, as far as shown in detail, a connector 1, which is mated with a complementary coupler to a connector.
  • the connector 1 has a connector housing 2, in particular a plastic housing.
  • a chamber 3 or a plurality of chambers 3 are arranged (in a row or more rows) into which an end portion of a conduit 4 is inserted.
  • the line 4 may be round, flat or other lines.
  • the line 4 has at its end an exposed electrical conductor 5, which may also be a flat or round conductor (wire or stranded wire).
  • the electrical conductor 5 is formed in its end region as a contact partner.
  • the line 4 has an outer casing 6, in particular made of plastic.
  • the connector housing 2 has the front side, emerging from the chamber 3, a contact zone 7, which is designed to receive a mating connector 8 (or its contact partner).
  • the End of the line 4 is fixed in the manner according to the invention via means 9 clearance within the chamber 3 to the connector housing 2 in its position, the means 9 are formed positively and / or positively acting.
  • the means 9 are formed with respect to the line 4 and the connector housing 2 as a single or multi-part separate component, but may alternatively be part of the outer jacket 6 of the line 4 and / or part of the chamber 3 of the connector housing 2.
  • the invention thus provides the advantage that the positive and / or non-positive separation of the contact zone 7 from the fixation of the line 4, the means 9 to the connector housing 2 has the advantage that the vibration introduction from the line 4 to the contact zone. 7 almost eliminated or completely eliminated and thus the surface wear of the contact partners is largely prevented, which in turn leads to a much greater reliability of the contact of the connector and its life. If such a construction is chosen so that the electrical conductor 5 is fixed to the connector housing 2, very high contact normal forces (preferably greater than 10 Newton) can be realized, thereby making it possible to produce a cost-effective, weight-reduced and reliable connector which is both sealed and unsealed Variant in a simple manner and, above all, is freely customizable feasible.
