Definitions

  • a disadvantage of this connector is that the release of the bracket for secondary locking is not in any precise connection with the locking of the connector with the mating connector. Since the deflection of the spring element is effected by a housing surface of the mating connector, the exact time of release, for example, dimensional tolerances of the housing parts and the precision of the plug-in operation (straight or oblique merging of the connector parts). It is therefore not excluded that the bracket is brought into the locking position without a complete latching of the two connector parts is present. The bow is in the locked position, but the locking connection between the two connector parts can no longer be made because the bracket blocks the mobility of the locking elements of the connector parts against each other as Sekundärverrieglung.
  • the strap In order to correctly lock the connector parts together, in this case, the strap would have to be returned to its initial position in order to bring it back into the locking position after the connector parts locked into place. Even if such a false lock occurs only occasionally during assembly, the troubleshooting is very expensive.
  • the release of the secondary lock is not effected by a housing surface, but by the locking contour, such as a detent, the second connector part, when both connector parts have reached their final detent position.
  • the position of a locking element of the second connector part thus directly affects the release of the connecting element, so that the displacement of the connecting element can not be done before the engagement of the locking elements, but immediately thereafter. This makes it possible to detect the connector for plugging on the second connector part on the locking element and to lock after the engagement of the locking elements in a continuous movement.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view obliquely on the plug side of a first connector part (1).
  • the socket housing (2) has two integrally formed in the housing interior, designed as latching arms locking elements (5), each by means of a molded on the outside of the socket housing (2) actuating element (6) against the inner walls of the socket housing (2) are pivotable.
  • the connecting element (3) has locking means (10) formed locking means which slide with a displacement of the connecting element (3) relative to the receptacle housing (1) in the intermediate space between a respective latching arm (5) and the inner housing wall of the receptacle housing (2) and thus block the pivotability of the latching arms (5).
  • a latching connection to the second connector part produced by the latching arms (5) is thereafter, without resetting the connecting element (3) in the starting position, no longer separable.
  • FIG. 4 The process of mating and locking two connector parts is in the FIG. 4 illustrated by a series of sectional drawings.
  • These sectional drawings refer to two different cutting planes through the connector parts (1, 12) whose position in the FIG. 3 is shown.
  • a comparison of FIGS. 1 and 3 shows that the cutting plane 1 intersects the resilient element (8) while the cutting plane 2 passes through a locking web (10). It is essential that the connecting element (3) locks the latching arms (5) only when the two connector parts (1, 12) are joined together.
  • the resilient elements (8) is at the same height and in direct contact with the transverse web (7) of the locking arm. It follows that in this joining phase, the connecting element (3) is not relative to the receptacle housing (2) displaceable.
  • the first connector part (1) thus appears for an operator as a single compact part, which can also be detected and guided well on the latch-shaped portion of the connecting element (3) for the insertion process.
