Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector having a first connector and a second connector, each receiving first contact elements and first mating contact elements, which are connected to each other when the two connectors are connected together.
  • the first connector is additionally associated with a linearly adjustable slide which is convertible to a full connection state characterizing position after the two connectors have taken a complete connection position to each other and a signal circuit closes, over which the reaching of the position is displayed.
  • the DE 10 2004 057 093 B3 describes a connector with a first connector having a first housing with a first end and a second end.
  • the first housing comprises first receiving chambers for first contact elements and second receiving chambers for a respective second contact element, which are associated with a slider.
  • the slider is directionally limited to the first housing from the first end to the second end and vice versa limited linearly adjustable between a first position and a second position.
  • a second connector is provided, which is connectable to the first connector and comprises a second housing in which are provided with corresponding to the first receiving chambers arranged third receiving chambers. In these third receiving chambers suitable first mating contact elements are added to the first contact elements.
  • the second housing separate from the region in which the third receiving chambers are arranged for the first mating contact elements, receiving chambers, in which second mating contact elements are arranged, which are formed to match the slider associated second contact elements.
  • Both the second contact elements and the second mating contact elements are each connected to signal lines.
  • both the first connector contact elements must be assigned to the slide, which belong to the signal circuit as well as additionally on the second connector, the mating contact elements for the signal circuit must be present. This means that in many cases existing interfaces to devices or equipment, such as a motor vehicle, in the form of second connectors can not be used because they do not have such connection options for mating contact elements.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a connector in which the second connector must have only the contact elements and connection options that are required for the main circuits and beyond only the locking means which cooperate with corresponding locking means on the first connector and the Lock first connector with the second connector in the connected state.
  • An advantage of this design is that all means that are required to close the signal circuit when the two connectors are connected together, only one connector, namely the first connector must be assigned, which is usually arranged on a wire harness , It is advantageous that, for example, standardized interfaces do not need to be changed, ie the plug connectors, which are usually connected to a device or equipment part of a motor vehicle are connected.
  • first connector for example, those that require only a lock with the second connector or those that, when they are hidden, in terms of their connection state
  • they can be checked, or they can carry high currents which, in addition, can be provided with the means which permit activation only when the plugs are connected, as they are provided according to the invention.
  • These are represented by the slide with the means by which the control circuit is closed. This gives increased security for all plug-in connections in which it is necessary for safety reasons or other reasons to first connect the first contact elements and mating contact elements and temporarily connect the second contact elements and second mating contact elements which are assigned to the control circuit.
  • the holding means on the slide in conjunction with the first locking means on the first connector ensure that a transfer of the slider is in a control circuit closing position only possible when the first locking means are locked to the second locking means, ie engaged or Are engaged, indicating that the two connectors have taken their final connection position. Only then the slider is released and can be transferred to its second position.
  • the second locking means are shown on the second connector by a projection on the second housing.
  • the projection has a second locking surface and a ramp surface.
  • the first locking means are represented by an elastically deformable first locking arm which extends directionally from the first end to the second end and which is connected in one piece to the first housing in the direction of the first end and forms a free end in the direction of the second end.
  • on the first engagement means are present, which engage behind the second locking means representing projection on the second housing in the connected state.
  • the first locking arm preferably has two parallel arm portions, which are interconnected at the free end by a crossbar. This forms the first means of intervention, wherein the first engagement means also comprise a first latch surface located on the crosshead. This first locking surface sits behind the second Riege Chemistry the projection, so that the locking arm is held and thus the first housing is fixed to the second housing.
  • the holding means are represented by an elastically deformable second locking arm which integrally attaches to the slider and has a support surface which is part of a nose and with which the second locking arm is supported against the first locking surface, as long as the traverse of the first locking arm Head on the second case did not happen.
  • the second locking arm between the two parallel arm portions of the first locking arm is arranged.
  • the nose when moving the slider from the first position to the second position against the ramp surface of the projection runs, so that the second locking arm undergoes a deflection and the nose over the projection in a traverse cross-engaging position can be transferred.
  • the slider is fixed in its second position on the projection.
  • the second locking arm also serves to fix the first locking arm in the engaged position to the projection.
