Abstract

A connector arrangement comprises a displacing mechanism (31, 40) for displacing an actuator plate (27) downwardly to press cable conductors into insulation-piercing engagement with the associated respective electrical contacts (9). The displacing mechanism includes a wedge (30) between the actuator plate and a housing cover (28) and operable by the actuator plate during the initial displacement of the cover from a partially displaced position from the base toward a position over the base to displace the cable downwardly into insulation-piercing engagement with contact knife edges. A connector arrangement for connecting an insulated conductor (3) of a flat multi-conductor cable (2) with a tapped-off branch conductor comprises a housing base (6) including a rectangular base (8). Insulation-piercing electrical contacts carried by the base extend upwardly from the base upper surface. The upper extremities of the contacts have knife edges. A horizontal actuator plate is connected with the base for displacement between an upper position above the contacts toward a lower position adjacent the contacts. The spacing distance between the actuator plate and the contacts is greater than the thickness of the flat cable to permit the longitudinal horizontal introduction of the flat cable between the actuator plate and the contacts with the conductors of the cables above the contacts, respectively. A displacing mechanism for displacing the actuator plate downwardly to press the cable conductors into insulation-piercing engagement with the associated respective contacts includes a housing cover arranged horizontally above and spaced from the actuator plate. A connector connects the cover for longitudinal sliding displacement relative to the base between a partially displaced position from the base and a position over the base. A wedge between the actuator plate and the cover is operable by the actuator plate during the initial displacement of the cover from the partially displaced position to the position over the base to displace the cable downwardly into insulation-piercing engagement with the contact knife edges. Branch conductors are connected with the contacts, respectively.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlussvorrichtung zur Kontaktierung von Leitern eines durchgehenden Kabels, insbesondere eines durchgehenden Flachkabels, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connection device for contacting conductors of a continuous cable, in particular a continuous flat cable, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Anschlussvorrichtungen - auch mit isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten - sind an sich bekannt, so aus der DE 34 22 607 C2 und der DE 44 02 837 A1 .Such connection devices - even with insulation-penetrating contacts - are known per se, so from the DE 34 22 607 C2 and the DE 44 02 837 A1 ,

Anschlussvorrichtungen für die Enden von Flachkabeln offenbaren die US 5,429,526 , die DE 44 36 829 A1 , die DE 92 10 333 U1 , die US 4,252,396 und die US 5,076,801 .Connecting devices for the ends of flat cables reveal the US 5,429,526 , the DE 44 36 829 A1 , the DE 92 10 333 U1 , the US 4,252,396 and the US 5,076,801 ,

Dennoch besteht ein Bedarf nach einer Weiterentwicklung insbesondere in Hinsicht auf eine schnelle und sichere Beschaltung auch von Flachkabeln mit relativ vielen Leitern.Nevertheless, there is a need for further development, in particular with regard to a fast and reliable wiring even of flat cables with relatively many conductors.

Die Lösung dieses Problems ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung.The solution to this problem is the object of the invention.

Danach weist die Anschlussvorrichtung wenigstens eine oder mehrere Keilanordnung(en) auf.Thereafter, the connection device has at least one or more wedge arrangement (s).

Besonders bevorzugt ist wenigstens eine der Keilanordnungen zum Beschalten des Flachbandkabels ausgelegt, insbesondere derart, dass sie zum Aufschieben des Flachkabels auf die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte, vorzugsweise bis zur Kontaktierung der Leiter und/oder zum Aufschieben der isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte auf das Flachbandkabel ausgelegt ist.Particularly preferably, at least one of the wedge arrangements is designed for connecting the ribbon cable, in particular such that it is for pushing the flat cable onto the insulation-penetrating contacts, preferably until contacting the conductor and / or for pushing the insulation piercing contacts on the ribbon cable is designed.

Mit der Keilanordnung sind auf einfache Weise relativ hohe Schaltungskräfte realisierbar, so daß auch ein vieladriges Kabel sicher mit nur einer einzigen Bewegung kontaktiert wird.With the wedge arrangement relatively high circuit forces can be realized in a simple manner, so that even a multi-core cable is securely contacted with only a single movement.

Vorzugsweise sind ferner wenigstens eine oder mehrere der Keilanordnungen zum Aktivieren einer Vorrichtung zur Zugentlastung des Kabels ausgelegt. Derart wird die vorteilhafte Keilbetätigungstechnik auch für die Aufgabe der Zugentlastung genutzt. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise derart, dass die Keilanordnungen zur Zugentlastung jeweils eine Keilfläche an der Innenseite des Schiebedeckels aufweisen, an welcher beim Beschalten jeweils ein Steg zur Zugentlastung entlang gleitet.Preferably, at least one or more of the wedge arrangements are further designed to activate a device for strain relief of the cable. Thus, the advantageous wedge actuation technique is also used for the task of strain relief. This is preferably done in such a way that the wedge arrangements for strain relief each have a wedge surface on the inside of the sliding cover, on which slides in each case a web for strain relief along.

Um zu Verhindern, dass das Beschalten erschwert wird, ist ferner vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Keilanordnungen zur Beschaltung und zur Zugentlastung derart aufeinander abgestimmt sind, dass die Zugentlastung erst nach dem Beschalten des Flachbandkabels aktiviert ist.In order to prevent the wiring is made difficult, it is further preferably provided that the wedge assemblies for wiring and strain relief are coordinated so that the strain relief is activated only after the connection of the ribbon cable.

Ganz besonders bevorzugt wird zum Kontaktieren ein Schraubendreher genutzt, der dazu geeignet ist, das Relativverschieben der Keile der Keilanordnung mit einer hohen Hebelkraft durchzuführen.Most preferably, a screwdriver is used for contacting, which is adapted to perform the relative displacement of the wedges of the wedge assembly with a high leverage.

Dabei sind die Keile der Keilanordnung derart ausgestaltet, daß das Flachkabel - ggf. zusammen mit weiteren Elementen (wie nachfolgend beschrieben) - auf die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte gedrückt wird.The wedges of the wedge assembly are designed such that the flat cable - possibly together with other elements (as described below) - is pressed onto the insulation-penetrating contacts.

Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist das Gehäuse mehrteilig aufgebaut und weist einen Grundabschnitt und einen Deckelabschnitt auf, die wiederum in sich mehrteilig ausgestaltet sind. Es ist möglich, sämtliche Teile des Grundabschnittes und des Deckelabschnittes im Wesentlichen plattenartig auszubilden, so daß das gesamte Gehäuse relativ flach baut.Most preferably, the housing is constructed in several parts and has a base portion and a lid portion, which in turn are configured in several parts. It is possible to form all parts of the base portion and the lid portion substantially plate-like, so that the entire housing is relatively flat.

Bevorzugt ist dabei ein Schiebedeckel vorgesehen, der an einer Grundplatte verschieblich geführt ist und der an seiner Innenseite Keile aufweist, die mit Keilen einer Stützplatte zusammenwirken, wobei die Stützplatte mit dem Kabel und einer Aufnahmeplatte für das Kabel als Einheit zusammen auf die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte gedrückt wird. Diese Ausführung ist kompakt und realisiert dabei dennoch eine besonders sichere Beschaltung.In this case, a sliding cover is preferably provided, which is displaceably guided on a base plate and having on its inside wedges which cooperate with wedges of a support plate, wherein the support plate is pressed together with the cable and a receiving plate for the cable as a unit on the insulation piercing contacts , This version is compact and still realizes a particularly safe wiring.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Sprengansicht einer Anschlussvorrichtung 1, die zur Kontaktierung eines Flachkabels 2 ausgelegt ist, das in der Regel mehrere Leiter 3 aufweist, die ggf. jeweils von einer isolierung umgeben und in einen übergeordneten Kabelmantel 4 eingebettet sind. Das Flachkabel kann beispielsweise ein Flachkabel sein, das in einem Liftschacht verlegt wird.1 shows an exploded view of a connection device 1, which is designed to make contact with a flat cable 2, which as a rule has a plurality of conductors 3, which may each be surrounded by insulation and embedded in a higher-order cable sheath 4. The flat cable may for example be a flat cable that is laid in a lift shaft.

Die Anschlussvorrichtung weist ein mehrteiliges Gehäuse 5 auf, welches einen Grundabschnitt 6 und einen Deckelabschnitt 7 umfasst, die wiederum jeweils vorzugsweise mehrteilig ausgebildet sind.The connecting device has a multi-part housing 5, which comprises a base portion 6 and a cover portion 7, which in turn are each preferably formed in several parts.

So weist der Grundabschnitt 6 eine Grundplatte 8 auf, an der eine Mehrzahl von isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten angeordnet ist, die hier als Piercingkontakte 9 ausgebildet sind, die aber auch als Schneidkontakte ausgebildet sein können.Thus, the base portion 6 a base plate 8, on which a plurality of insulation piercing contacts is arranged, which are here designed as Piercingkontakte 9, but which may also be formed as a cutting contacts.

Hier ist in/an der Grundplatte 8 eine Mehrzahl der Piercingkontakten 9 angeordnet, die hier vorzugsweise jeweils zueinander winklig ausgerichtete, verschränkten Doppelspitzen 10, 11 (siehe hierzu Fig. 5b) aufweisen, welche zur Erhöhung der isolationsdurchdringenden Wirkung ergänzend mit Schneidkanten versehen sein können, um eine besonders sichere Kontaktierung der einzelnen Leitungsadern des zu kontaktierenden Flachkabels sicherzustellen.Here, a plurality of Piercingkontakten 9 is arranged in / on the base plate 8, which here preferably each mutually angularly aligned, entangled double tips 10, 11 (see Fig. 5b) have, which may be provided to increase the insulation penetrating effect in addition to cutting edges, to ensure a particularly secure contacting of the individual wires of the flat cable to be contacted.

Die Grundplatte 8 weist zwei zueinander parallele Seitenstege 12, 13 auf, die eine Führung für eine nachfolgend noch näher erläuterte Halteplatte 18 realisieren. Hier sind die Seitenstege höher als das Flachkabel 2, so dass sie seitlich über den Rand des eingelegten Flachkabels 2vorstehen.The base plate 8 has two mutually parallel side webs 12, 13, which realize a guide for a later explained in more detail holding plate 18. Here, the side bars are higher than the flat cable 2, so that they project laterally beyond the edge of the inserted flat cable 2.

Die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 sind vorzugsweise zur Realisierung einer T-artigen Abzweigung am Flachkabel 2 mit weiteren Anschlüssen verbunden, die hier z.B. als besonders schnell und einfach kontaktierbare Direktsteck-Druckfederkontakte 14 ausgebildet sind (siehe auch Fig. 5b), die aber auch als Zugfederkontakte, ebenfalls als IDC-Kontakte als Schraubkontakte oder in sonstiger Weise ausgebildet sein könnten (nicht dargestellt).The insulation piercing contacts 9 are preferably connected to other terminals for realizing a T-type branch on the flat cable 2, which are here e.g. are designed as particularly fast and easy contactable direct plug spring contacts 14 (see also Fig. 5b), but also as tension spring contacts, also as IDC contacts as screw contacts or in any other way could be formed (not shown).

Die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 stehen aus der Grundplatte 8 zur Seite des Flachkabels 2 hin mit ihren Spitzen 10, 11 vor.The insulation piercing contacts 9 protrude from the base plate 8 toward the flat cable 2 side with their tips 10, 11.

Nach der hier realisierten einfachen Montageart sind die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte samt den Direktsteckkontakten 14 jeweils in Aufnahmekammern 15 in der Grundplatte 8 eingesteckt, die zur Seite des Flachkabels 2 hin derart offen ausgebildet sind, dass die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 bei der Montage von dieser Seite her in die Aufnahmekammern 15 einsetzbar sind.After the simple assembly method realized here, the insulation-piercing contacts together with the direct plug contacts 14 are respectively inserted in receiving chambers 15 in the base plate 8, which are designed so open to the side of the flat cable 2, that the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 in the assembly of this page in the Receiving chambers 15 are used.

An der vom Flachkabel 2 abgewandten Seite können die Aufnahmekammern 15 mit weiteren Öffnungen versehen sein, die derart ausgestaltet sind, dass Abzweigleiter 17 (siehe Fig. 2; ggf. auch als Flachkabel zusammengefaßt) und/oder Betätigungswerkzeuge (Öffnung 16, Fig. 5)) zur Betätigung der Abzweigkontakte in die Aufnahmekammern 15 einfügbar sind, wobei die Öffnungen 16 ferner so gestaltet sind, dass die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte (insbesondere Piercingkontakte) 9 nicht aus den Auf nahmekammem 15 ausfallen können. Für die Abzweigleiter 17 sind hier an der vom Flachkabel 2 abgewandten Seite der Grundplatte 8 Freimachungen 33 vorgesehen.At the side remote from the flat cable 2 side, the receiving chambers 15 may be provided with further openings which are configured such that branch conductor 17th (See Fig. 2, possibly also summarized as a flat cable) and / or operating tools (opening 16, Fig. 5)) are inserted for actuating the branch contacts in the receiving chambers 15, wherein the openings 16 are further designed so that the insulation piercing contacts (In particular, piercing contacts) 9 can not be made from the on receiving comb 15. For the branch conductor 17 8 clearances 33 are provided here on the side facing away from the flat cable 2 side of the base plate.

Die Aufnahmekammern 15 und die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte für die verschiedenen Leiter des zu kontaktierenden Flachkabels 2 können in der Richtung der Längserstreckung des Flachkabels 2 etwas zueinander versetzt angeordnet sein, so dass die einzelnen IDC-Kontakte auch etwas breiter sein können als der Abstand der Leiter des Flachkabels 2. Beispielhaft sind hier derart elf Piercingkontakte 9 auf engem Raum untergebracht.The receiving chambers 15 and the insulation-penetrating contacts for the different conductors of the flat cable 2 to be contacted may be arranged slightly offset in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the flat cable 2, so that the individual IDC contacts may also be slightly wider than the distance of the conductors of the flat cable 2. By way of example, eleven piercing contacts 9 are accommodated in a small space here.

Damit die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 nicht aus den Aufnahmekammern 15 ausfallen können, werden die Aufnahmerkammern 15 von einer übergreifenden Halteplatte 18 abgedeckt, welche erste Rastmittel (hier Raststege 19) aufweisen kann, die mit korrespondierenden zweiten Rastmitteln (hier Rastausnehmungen 20) der Grundplatte verrastbar sind.So that the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 can not fail out of the receiving chambers 15, the receiving chambers 15 are covered by a cross-holding plate 18, which first latching means (here latching webs 19) may have, with corresponding second latching means (here latching recesses 20) of the base plate can be latched.

Die Halteplatte 18 ist mit Durchbrüchen, insbesondere Schlitzen 21, versehen, aus welchen die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte in Richtung des einzulegenden Flachkabels 2 vorstehen.The holding plate 18 is provided with openings, in particular slots 21, from which protrude the insulation piercing contacts in the direction of the flat cable 2 to be inserted.

Auf die Halteplatte 18 ist hier eine optionale Aufnahmeplatte 22 zur Aufnahme des Flachkabels aufsetzbar, welche vorzugsweise eine Konturierung 23 aufweist, welche der Konturierung des Mantels des zu kontaktierenden Flachkabels entspricht, damit dieses in der Konturierung 23 gut ausgerichtet und zentriert wird, was für eine sichere Kontaktierung von Vorteil ist.On the holding plate 18 here an optional receiving plate 22 for receiving the flat cable can be placed, which preferably has a contouring 23, which corresponds to the contour of the shell of the flat cable to be contacted so that it is well aligned and centered in the contouring 23, which is safe Contacting is beneficial.

Auch die Aufnahmeplatte 22 weist hier erste Rastmittel (hier wiederum Raststege 24) auf, die eine Verrastung an entsprechenden Rastmitteln (hier wiederum Rastausnehmungen 25) der Grundplatte 8 erlaubt.Also, the receiving plate 22 has here first locking means (here again latching webs 24), which allows a latching to corresponding latching means (here again latching recesses 25) of the base plate 8.

Die Aufnahmeplatte 22 ist zudem wiederum mit Durchbrüchen, insbesondere Schlitzen 26, versehen, aus welchen die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 im kontaktierten Zustand vorstehen.The receiving plate 22 is in turn provided with openings, in particular slots 26, from which protrude the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 in the contacted state.

Im nicht kontaktierten Zustand liegt die Aufnahmeplatte 22 noch derart hoch auf der Grundplatte 8 auf, dass die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 aus ihr nicht vorstehen, so dass das Flachkabel auflegbar ist. Die Aufnahmeplatte 22 ist zur Kontaktierung senkrecht zum Flachkabel zur Grundplatte 8 hin verschieblich.In the non-contacted state, the receiving plate 22 is still so high on the base plate 8, that the insulation piercing contacts 9 do not protrude from it, so that the flat cable can be placed. The receiving plate 22 is displaceable perpendicular to the flat cable to the base plate 8 for contacting.

Die Halteplatte 18 und die Aufnahmeplatte 22 könnten auch einstückig ausgebildet sein (hier nicht dargestellt).The holding plate 18 and the receiving plate 22 could also be integrally formed (not shown here).

Zur Kontaktierung wird das Flachkabel 2 zunächst in die Aufnahmeplatte 22 des vormontierten Grundabschnittes des Gehäuses eingelegt, so dass es sicher zentriert direkt oberhalb der Doppelspitzen 10, 11 der isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten 9 liegt (Fig. 2; Fig. 5).For contacting the flat cable 2 is first inserted into the receiving plate 22 of the preassembled base portion of the housing, so that it is safely centered directly above the double tips 10, 11 of the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 (Figure 2, Fig. 5).

Die eigentliche Kontaktierung des Flachkabels erfolgt sodann mit Hilfe des Deckelabschnittes 7, der auch als Betätigungseinheit dient und der relativ zum Grundabschnitt verschieblich geführt ist.The actual contacting of the flat cable is then carried out with the aid of the lid portion 7, which also serves as an actuating unit and which is guided displaceably relative to the base portion.

Diese Betätigungseinheit besteht aus einer auf den das Flachkabel 2 aufnehmenden Grundabschnitt aufsetzbaren Stützplatte 27 und einem Schiebedeckel 28.This actuating unit consists of a support plate 27 which can be placed on the base section receiving the flat cable 2 and a sliding cover 28.

Die Stützplatte 27 weist eine Kontur - hier seitliche Stege 29 - auf, die mit der Kontur - insbesondere den Seitenstegen 12, 13 - des Grundabschnittes derart zusammenwirkt, dass die Stützplatte 27 im montierten Zustand vor der Beschaltung zwar senkrecht zum Flachkabel 2 in Richtung der isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 beweglich ist, aber nicht oder im wesentlichen nicht in einer Richtung parallel zur Erstreckung des Flachkabels 2.The support plate 27 has a contour - here lateral webs 29 - which cooperates with the contour - in particular the side bars 12, 13 - of the base portion such that the support plate 27 in the mounted state before the wiring, although perpendicular to the flat cable 2 in the direction of isolationsdurchdringenden Contacts 9 is movable, but not or substantially not in a direction parallel to the extension of the flat cable. 2

Die eigentliche Kontaktierung erfolgt dann mit Hilfe des Schiebedeckels 28, der an dem Grundabschnitt, insbesondere der Grundplatte 8, verschieblich gehalten ist.The actual contacting then takes place with the aid of the sliding cover 28, which is held displaceably on the base section, in particular of the base plate 8.

Hierzu weist der Schiebedeckel 28 Seitenstege 31 auf, welche die Grundplatte 8 an Stegen 40 ihren Seiten direkt untergreifen (Fig. 8) oder welche mit der Grundplatte 8 nach Art einer Nut-/Federanordnung zusammenwirken.For this purpose, the sliding cover 28 on side webs 31, which engage the base plate 8 at webs 40 their sides directly (Fig. 8) or which cooperate with the base plate 8 in the manner of a tongue / groove arrangement.

Derart ist der Schiebedeckel 28 in Längsrichtung des Flachkabels an dem Grundabschnitt verschieblich geführt (siege Fig. 2 - 7).In this way, the sliding cover 28 is displaceably guided in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable at the base portion (see Figs. 2-7).

Wesentlich ist, dass zwischen dem Schiebedeckel 28 und/oder der Stützplatte 27 wenigstens eines oder vorzugsweise mehrere Keilanordnungen 30, 36, 37 mit Keilelemente bzw. Keilkonturen ausgebildet sind.It is essential that between the sliding cover 28 and / or the support plate 27 at least one or preferably a plurality of wedge assemblies 30, 36, 37 are formed with wedge elements or wedge contours.

Keilelemente 32, 34 der ersten Keilanordnung 30 sind derart gestaltet, dass beim Aufschieben des Schiebedeckels 28 auf die Grundplatte parallel zum Flachkabel 2 dieser die Stützplatte 27 mit dem Flachkabel 2 und der Aufnahmeplatte 22 senkrecht zum Flachkabel 2 auf die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 drückt, was dazu führt, dass die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 zunächst die Aufnahmeplatte und dann den Kabelmantel 4 und die Leiterisolierungen durchdringen/durchstechen und die einzelnen Leiter 3 kontaktieren.Wedge elements 32, 34 of the first wedge assembly 30 are designed such that when sliding the sliding cover 28 on the base plate parallel to the flat cable 2, the support plate 27 presses with the flat cable 2 and the receiving plate 22 perpendicular to the flat cable 2 on the insulation-penetrating contacts 9, what leads that the insulation piercing contacts 9 first penetrate / pierce the receiving plate and then the cable sheath 4 and the conductor insulations and contact the individual conductors 3.

Die Keilelemente 32, 34 kommen dabei unterhalb des Schiebedeckels 28 zur Anlage (Fig. 6).The wedge elements 32, 34 come to rest below the sliding cover 28 (FIG. 6).

Die Keilelemente 32, 34 können einen konstanten Neigungswinkel α zum Flachkabel 2 aufweisen. Der Neigungs- bzw. Keilwinkel α könnte aber auch in Längsrichtung des Flachkabels 2 veränderlich ausgestaltet sein (hier nicht dargestellt).The wedge elements 32, 34 may have a constant inclination angle α to the flat cable 2. The inclination or wedge angle α could, however, also be variable in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable 2 (not shown here).

So könnten theoretisch anstelle von ebenen Keilen auch solche mit einer gekrümmten Oberseite verwendet werden.Thus theoretically, instead of flat wedges, those with a curved top could also be used.

Wesentlich ist, dass durch die Keilelemente 32, 34 beim Verschieben des Schiebedeckels 28 die Stützplatte 27 und die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 aufeinander zu bewegt werden, so dass die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte 9 das Flachkabel 2 kontaktieren.It is essential that the support plate 27 and the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 are moved towards each other by the wedge elements 32, 34 during displacement of the sliding cover 28, so that the insulation-penetrating contacts 9 contact the flat cable 2.

Ergänzend ist oder sind an der Stützplatte 27 wenigstens ein sich quer zum Flachkabel 2 erstreckender Steg(e) 35 ausgebildet, der/die nach dem Kontaktieren beim weiteren Schwenken des Schraubendrehers (Fig. 7) zwischen dem Schiebedeckel 28 und dem Flachkabel 2 verklemmt wird/werden, so dass das Flachkabel 2 nach Art einer Zugentlastung sicher zwischen der Stützplatte 27 und dem Grundabschnitt 6 des Gehäuses 5 festgeklemmt ist.In addition, or at least one web (s) 35 extending transversely to the flat cable 2 is or are formed on the support plate 27, which is jammed between the sliding cover 28 and the flat cable 2 after the further pivoting of the screwdriver (FIG. be so that the flat cable 2 is securely clamped in the manner of a strain relief between the support plate 27 and the base portion 6 of the housing 5.

Zur Aktivierung dieser Vorrichtung zur Zugentlastung sind weitere Keilanordnungen 36, 37 jeweils mit einer Keilfläche an den Innenseite des Schiebedeckels 28 vorgesehen, an welchen jeweils einer der Stege 35 entlang gleitet, wobei die Keilanordnungen 30, 36, 37 derart aufeinander abgestimmt sind, dass die Zugentlastung erst nach dem Beschalten des Flachbandkabels aktiviert ist.To activate this device for strain relief further wedge assemblies 36, 37 each provided with a wedge surface on the inside of the sliding cover 28, on which each one of the webs 35 slides along, wherein the wedge assemblies 30, 36, 37 are coordinated such that the strain relief is activated after connecting the ribbon cable.

Der Vorgang des Beschaltens ist in Fig. 2 bis 4 und 5 bis 7 dargestellt. Die Beschaltung erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels eines Schraubendrehers, der in eine Ausnehmung 36 des Schiebedeckels 28 einsetzbar und mit seiner Spitze an der Grundplatte abstützbar ist (siehe auch Fig. 8) und mit dem vorzugsweise schnell und einfach mit Hilfe einer einzigen Schwenkbewegung das Beschalten des Flachkabels 2 erfolgen kann. Zur Herstellung einer Abzweigung am durchgehenden Flachkabel 2 sind dann nur noch die Zweigleiter 17 anzuschließen.The process of wiring is shown in Figs. 2-4 and 5-7. The wiring is preferably carried out by means of a screwdriver which can be inserted into a recess 36 of the sliding cover 28 and supported with its tip on the base plate (see also Fig. 8) and with the preferably quickly and easily by means of a single pivoting movement, the wiring of the flat cable. 2 can be done. To produce a branch on the continuous flat cable 2 then only the branch conductor 17 are to be connected.

Das Entschalten, wenn überhaupt je erforderlich, erfolgt ebenfalls unter Zuhilfenahme eines Schraubendrehers (hier nicht dargestellt).Dismantling, if ever necessary, is also done with the aid of a screwdriver (not shown here).

Vorteilhafte Kabel zur Beschaltung sind in Fig. 9 und 10 dargestellt. Das Flachkabel 2 der Fig. 9 entspricht dem der Fig. 1. Von diesem unterscheidet sich das kodierte Flachbandkabel der Fig. 10 dadurch, dass jeweils zwei der Leiter 3a, 3b jedenfalls abschnittsweise (zumindest bis auf den zu beschaltenden Bereich) in so genannter Twisted-Pair-Technik miteinander verdreht sind, was aus den Schnitten und Frontansichten der Fig. 10 c, d, e deutlich wird.Advantageous cables for wiring are shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. The flat cable 2 of FIG. 9 corresponds to that of FIG. 1. From this differs the coded ribbon cable of FIG. 10 in that in each case two of the conductors 3a, 3b in each case in sections (at least up to the area to be connected) in so-called twisted Pair technique are twisted together, which is apparent from the sections and front views of Fig. 10 c, d, e.

Vorteilhaft ist, dass die miteinander verdrillten Leiter 3a, 3b in einem verbreiterten Kodierungsbereich 38 des Kabelmantels angeordnet sind, der kodierungsartig ausgelegt ist und derart stets ein korrektes Beschalten dieses Kabels erlaubt.It is advantageous that the twisted together conductors 3a, 3b are arranged in a widened coding region 38 of the cable sheath, which is designed like a coding and thus always allows a correct wiring of this cable.

Bei der Beschaltung sind jeweils ein oder mehrere der Leiter dies kodierten Flachbandkabels abschnittsweise (Ausschnittsbereich 39) durchtrennt, um hier eine Elektronik zwischen die zwei durchtrennten Enden zu schalten. Entsprechend sind für diese Leiter mehrere Piercingkontakte 9 zum Kontaktieren der beiden Enden dieser Leiter vorgesehen.When wiring each one or more of the conductors this coded ribbon cable sections (section area 39) is severed to switch here an electronics between the two severed ends. Accordingly, several piercing contacts 9 for contacting the two ends of these conductors are provided for these conductors.
