Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-current contact according to claim 1 and to a high-current plug-in device having at least one such high-current contact according to claim 11.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose an alternative plug-in contact for high-current applications, on the one hand equipped with a high electrical shield and the other hand, optionally after a small modification, for a variety of contacting tasks, especially in vehicles with an electric or electrically assisted drive is.
  • the high-current plug-in contact should be used as a scalable component in high-current plug-in devices.
  • the object is to propose a scalable high-current plug-in device with at least one high-current plug-in contact.
  • the invention is based on the idea to propose a preferably at least approximately cylindrical high-current plug contact with a socket contact element for contacting an interface in which the socket contact element is at least partially, preferably completely, surrounded by a sleeve-shaped enclosure, wherein radially outside the enclosure is in an axial Direction extending, sleeve-shaped shield plate is provided, which is connected by crimping with axial distance to the radially inner socket contact element with the cable shielding of the female contact element contacting line.
  • the casing has the function of fixing the socket contact element and the electrical connection produced therewith, especially against vibration, to protect and on the other hand to ensure electrical insulation of the female contact element against the electrically conductive shielding plate.
  • a support sleeve providing the counterforce is provided. This is arranged coaxially to the line contacting the female contact element, wherein the cable shield is folded around the support sleeve, that is sandwiched between the shield plate and the support sleeve.
  • the support sleeve prevents a disadvantageous for the crimping process sinking the cable shield in an intermediate insulation of the line surrounding the at least one current-carrying wire of the line.
  • the mechanical stability of the high-current plug-in contact is improved and, on the other hand, a good transfer of the shielding from the line to the shielding plate is ensured.
  • the shielding plate is passed on to the interface to be contacted by the shielding plate.
  • the support sleeve in turn rests radially on the outside either on the outer insulation of the line and / or on the exposed cable shielding.
  • the described high-current plug-in contact ensures optimal shielding for improving the EMC due to the sleeve-shaped shielding plate and the optimal shield propagation of the cable shielding to the shielding plate in an offset axially to the female contact element crimping.
  • any number of the described high-current plug contacts can be combined in a surrounding housing as a high-current plug-in device, whereby a multiplicity of different application requirements can be met.
  • high current in the context of the invention are electrical currents with a current of more than 60 A, in particular of about 100 A or understood about it.
  • the high-current plug contact is cylindrical. This distinguishes the high-current plug-in contact from a large number of especially L-shaped high current plug contacts of the prior art.
  • the line is guided on the insertion opening of the female contact element opposite side in the high current plug contact for contacting the female contact element.
  • the envelope surrounding the female contact element is provided as an encapsulation, i. by encapsulation of the female contact element, preferably formed of an electrically insulating plastic.
  • an encapsulation as wrapping an optimal, shape-dependent mechanical fixation of the female contact element is ensured throughout the high-current plug-in contact.
  • electrically insulating plastic additionally ensures the insulation of the socket contact and preferably also of the otherwise exposed terminal area.
  • the envelope in shell construction, in particular from injection-molded parts, wherein the shell parts are preferably locked together.
  • the envelope thus formed is provided with radial stops or radial fixings for the received female contact element.
  • the sheath i. the at least two shell parts, formed of an electrically insulating plastic.
  • the Support sleeve for the fixation preferably with axial distance to the crimping of the shield plate, is crimped with the line shield with the line.
  • the support sleeve in particular made of metal, is crimped with the outer jacket insulation of the line.
  • the support sleeve is not crimped or only with an axial Abschitt with the outer sheath insulation and otherwise rests directly on the cable shield and thus crimped in the latter case both with the cable shield and an intermediate insulation of the line.
  • the envelope in particular formed as an encapsulation or shell component, is led beyond the female contact element in the axial direction and rests radially outward on the intermediate insulation of the line surrounding at least one core.
  • the wire exposed in the axial direction and contacted with the socket contact element is thus insulated, so that accidental contacting of the outer shielding plate is reliably avoided.
  • the socket contact element comprises a so-called Radsok contact, which is available in different sizes.
  • a Radsok contact a shock-insensitive contacting of an interface, in particular a contact pins, can be ensured.
  • an advantage is an embodiment in which the shroud is not directly contacted with a shield of the contacting interface, that is not directly applied to this, but that is provided to ensure a reliable Schirmübergabe an applied to the shield plate shield ring.
  • this shield ring contributes to the mechanical stabilization of the shielding plate in the area of its front side and also ensures a secure contacting of the shielding of the interface.
  • the shield ring comprises a sleeve-shaped portion, which is received radially between the shield plate and the sheath, in particular clamped between these components.
  • the actual contacting of the interface via a slat portion of the shield plate which is bent backwards around the end face of the shielding plate and is resilient in the radial direction.
  • the slat portion takes the shield plate by clamping.
  • the contacting of the interface takes place with the radially outer circumferential surface of the surrounding portion of the shielding plate fin portion of the shield ring.
  • the invention also relates to a high-current plug-in device having at least one high-current plug-in contact as described above, wherein the at least one high-current plug contact is surrounded by a protective housing.
  • the protective housing is formed as encapsulation. It is essential that the protective or surrounding housing is formed from an electrically insulating material. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the protective housing in shell construction, in particular with two mutually latchable shell elements, form. If required, the high-current plug-in device can be provided with additional functionalities, such as a pilot contact.
  • the high-current plug-in device according to the invention is characterized in that it is scalable, i. can be manufactured or equipped with a virtually any number of high-current plug contacts. It is also conceivable to provide plug contacts in different sizes.
  • the seal is formed by the protective housing itself.
  • the protective housing forming encapsulation a material that connects to the outer jacket insulation of the line of the high-current plug-in contact.
  • the sealing preferably takes place by a fusion of the encapsulation material with the insulation material of the line.
  • the outer diameter of the seal used is preferably greater than the diameter of the mounting opening receiving the seal.
  • the inner diameter of the seal used may be less than the outer diameter of the conduit.
  • the at least one seal used is preferably a lamellar seal with a plurality of lamellae arranged axially next to one another and each extending in the circumferential direction. Such a lamellar seal acts as a labyrinth seal, which reliably prevents the ingress of media, in particular even if individual lamellae should be damaged.
  • an embodiment is advantageous in which to dispense with a separate seal and the sealing function of the support sleeve and the shield plate are taken.
  • media can penetrate into the protective housing, a penetration to the actual socket contact is on the other hand prevented by the tight connection of the support sleeve to the line on the one hand and the tight connection of the shield plate to the support sleeve.
