Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an electrically conductive connection between a arranged in a housing, equipped with electrical contacts component, which is accessible through an opening located in a wall of the housing from the outside, and a supply source, using one with electrical Mating contacts equipped plug-in element, which is attached to the end of a power source connected to the at least two insulated conductors having electrical line.
  • Such a method is used for example in automotive technology to connect in a self-contained housing components, such as sensors of various kinds, via an electrical line to a arranged in a control unit power source.
  • “Source of supply” can be a power source or a signal source or a combined power and signal source.
  • a preferred application for the method according to the invention is the contacting of a sensor for an electric power steering, which is arranged in a housing connected to a steering wheel of a motor vehicle.
  • a connected to such a sensor plug-in element should be mounted so that no vibrations or vibrations occurring during operation of a motor vehicle are transmitted to the sensor by the same.
  • the connector consists of an electrical plug contacts having pin housing and a guide sleeve which is releasably connected to the pin housing. It serves, for example, for the electrical connection of transmission controls in motor vehicles.
  • the guide sleeve is sealed in an opening of the housing wall, through which it protrudes accessible from both sides.
  • the pin housing is fixed by means of the bayonet lock on the guide sleeve.
  • the invention has for its object to make the initially described method so that the component can be electrically connected without mechanical stress in a simple manner with a supply source.
  • the plug-in element is brought by means of serving as a mounting aid holder in a simple manner in its final position in which its mating contacts have been plugged onto the contacts of the component to be connected to the supply source. Subsequently, the holder is released within the housing of the plug-in element, so that vibrations or vibrations which act on the holder from the outside, are not transmitted to the plug-in element and the component. In this case, the holder, through which the conductors connected to the plug element are passed, remains in the housing or in the opening in which or which it is finally fastened.
  • the holder has a closure element for closing the opening of the housing, which closes the opening in the housing preferably moisture-tight after complete implementation of the method.
  • the component including plug-in element and other parts located in the housing are then simultaneously protected against contamination.
  • the sensor 1 with an electrical component is referred to, which is equipped with electrical contacts 2. It is referred to below as "sensor 1."
  • the sensor 1 is arranged in the way of pre-assembly in a subsequently closed housing 3.
  • the contacts 2 are designed, for example, as plug pins
  • the closed housing 3 has an initially open opening 4 , in the height of the sensor 1 is mounted and through which the sensor 1 is accessible for electrically conductive connection to a not shown with supply source.
  • the sensor 1 may be, for example, an element of an electrically operated power steering system of a motor vehicle, which is to be electrically connected to a control unit thereof, in which a current and / or signal source is present as a supply source.
  • a current and / or signal source is present as a supply source.
  • Fig. 1 is in this sense a steering shaft 5 of a motor vehicle dashed lines, around which the housing 3 is arranged.
  • the structure of the sensor 1 is arbitrary within wide limits. It will therefore not be discussed further. It may, for example, also be coupled to a device which is movable together with the steering shaft 5.
  • one of the 4 and 5 apparent plug-in element 6 are used with mating contacts 7 for the contacts 2 of the sensor 1, to which isolated conductors 8 are connected to a corresponding, not shown with connecting line.
  • the mating contacts 7 are designed, for example, as sockets which can be plugged onto plug pins of the sensor 1.
  • the plug-in element 6 is according to Fig. 4 set in a holder 9 made of plastic, whose structure, for example, from the FIGS. 2 and 3 evident.
  • the holder 9 consists of two mutually parallel spaced arms 10 and 11, which are dimensioned such that the outer dimensions of the holder 9 smaller as the clear width of the opening 4 of the housing 3 and which are connected together at one end by a closure element 12. At their free ends facing away from the closure element 12, the two arms 10 and 11 each have a groove-shaped depression 13 or 14.
  • the closure element 12 also has an O-ring 15 serving to seal the opening 4 in the housing 3.
  • the plug-in element 6 according to Fig. 4 between the free ends of the arms 10 and 11 set so that it protrudes with a substantial length on the same or on the holder 9, as it is in the Fig. 4 and 6 is shown.
  • the plug connectors 6 mounted projections in the recesses 13 and 14 of the arms 10 and 11 a.
  • the method according to the invention is carried out, for example, as follows:
  • the mounting position of the fixed in the holder 9 plug element 6 goes out Fig. 4 out.
  • a portion 17 of the wall of the housing 3 is also shown with, in which the opening 4 is located.
  • the closure element 12 of the holder 9 is in the opening 4, which is preferably closed by the same moisture-proof.
  • the sensor 1, on the contacts 2, the plug-in element 6 has been plugged in the mounting position, is in Fig. 4 for the sake of clarity not shown.
  • Fig. 5 shows the position of the holder 9 after its release from the plug-in element 6.
  • the holder 9 from his in Fig. 4 shown assembly position rotated about the axis of the plug member 6, and preferably at an angle of 90 °, so that the arms 10 and 11 are released from the plug-in element 6 and separated by air gaps thereof.
  • the Holder 9 is also rotated in the opening 4 lying closure element 12 and fixed, for example by means of a bayonet lock firmly and moisture-tight in the opening 4.
  • the connected to the plug-in element 6 8 which extend with preference odd-numbered or undulating between plug-in element 6 and closure element 12, as in the Fig. 4, 5 and 6 is shown.
  • the holder 9 can in another, in the 6 and 7 illustrated embodiment at the free ends of its arms 10 and 11 also be equipped with bevels 18 and 19, which serve to lift the arms 10 and 11 from the plug-in element 6.
  • the same is pushed out in the insertion direction on the plug-in element 6, when the same has reached the mounting position on the sensor 1.
  • the housing 3 in this embodiment, on either side of the sensor 1, one in each Fig. 1 schematically indicated inclined ramp 20 and 21 attached to which the arms 10 and 1 are pushed with their bevels 15 and 16 until they are released from the plug-in element 6.
  • the closure element 12 also fixed in the opening 4, for example by snapping, and closes the same moisture-tight.
