Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector with a first connection means having a first terminal for a first electrical line and a second connection means having a second terminal for a second electrical line, wherein the two connection means for electrical contacting are nestable.
  • Connectors of the above type are known. These are, for example, circular plug-in solutions. They offer no or only small compensation options of radial tolerances, usually only a few 1/100 mm. The reason for this is that the elasticity of the Lamellenmellenfelder commonly used in such circular plug solutions no longer permits. If such a circular plug solution loaded in the radial direction, high lateral forces occur. These have a negative effect on the relaxation behavior of the lamellae.
  • the DE 41 04 215 A1 shows a high current electrical contact, which serves for floating support in the contact chamber of a connector strip.
  • a flexible connecting part is arranged between a front, designed as a pin or contact socket contact part and a rear, formed for the connection with printed circuit board printed circuit board connector part, which consists of helically bent metal strip.
  • the high current electrical contact is made from a single stamped sheet metal part which is rolled up.
  • the front contact part in the rear region has a collar and a constriction. The latter serves as a seat for a retaining ring.
  • the invention has the object of developing the connector of the type mentioned in such a way that less mechanical or less affect mechanical loads in the axial and / or radial direction.
  • the second connection means a first component for contacting the first connecting device by nesting, a second component having the second terminal, and a coupling device for electrically coupling the first component to the second component, wherein the two components with respect to each other in the radial and / or axial direction are movable.
  • connection devices are divided into two, one part having the line connection and the other part serving for mating with the other connection device. Since these two components in the radial and / or axial direction with respect to each other are movable, axial and / or radial movements, for example, the first component can be compensated by a corresponding relative movement with respect to the second component.
  • the coupling device serves to ensure the electrical connection from the first connection device to the line connection of the second connection device.
  • a first limiting device is provided for limiting the relative movement of the two components in the radial direction to a first predetermined dimension d.
  • the first predetermined dimension is, for example, in the range of 0.1 mm ⁇ d ⁇ 0.5 mm, preferably 0.2 mm ⁇ d ⁇ 0.4 mm.
  • a second limiting device is provided, specifically for limiting the relative movement of the two components in the axial direction to a second predetermined dimension s.
  • the second predetermined dimension is, for example, in the range of 0.15 mm ⁇ s ⁇ 0.45 mm, preferably 0.2 mm ⁇ s ⁇ 0.4 mm, more preferably 0.25 mm ⁇ s ⁇ 0.35 mm.
  • the second limiting device is fastened and deformable on the first and on the second component.
  • the two components have a permanent connection, which in turn is deformable to ensure the relative mobility in turn.
  • the second limiting device is at least partially band-shaped.
  • a band offers the advantage of low compression resistance, combined with high tensile strength.
  • a space is provided within the first and / or the second component for at least partially receiving the second limiting device in the case of upsetting.
  • the second limiting device is electrically conductive.
  • the second limiting device to coincide with the coupling device.
  • the coupling device serves two purposes, namely on the one hand the electrical coupling and on the other hand, the limitation of the relative mobility of the two components with respect to each other.
  • the coupling device according to the invention is further preferably at least in sections within the first and / or the second component.
  • This embodiment in turn serves to protect the coupling device (which may be identical to the second limiting device) from damage.
  • the first component preferably has a first stop on which the second component strikes against a second stop in the case of an axial displacement of the second component with respect to the first connecting device.
  • an axial displacement of the second component is sufficient to assemble the first component with the first connection device.
  • the first and / or second stop is / are more preferably employed.
  • This configuration makes it possible to reliably build up the contact between the first and the second connection device during the plugging operation with a constant increase in force.
  • the first limiting device preferably has a shoulder lying transversely to the radial direction on the first or the second component, which engages with play in a recess on the second or the first component.
  • the two components in the manner of a plug / socket connection are inserted into each other, but with radial play, although to allow relative radial movements, but not beyond a match the extent of the game.
  • the second limiting device prevents the approach leaving the recess.
  • the second limiting device serves to hold the projection in the recess.
  • the two limiting devices thus cooperate insofar.
  • the first connection device is preferably a socket and the second connection device is a plug which matches the socket.
  • the invention also provides only one of the two connecting devices for such a connector, in particular that which is divided into the two components with the intermediate coupling device.
  • the connecting device according to the invention is preferably a plug.
  • the connector illustrated in the drawing includes a first connection device 10, which is shown as a socket, and a second connection device 12, which is shown as a plug.
  • the second connection device 12 has a first component 14 and a second component 16.
  • Lamellae are mounted in the socket 10, one of which is designated by the reference numeral 18 by way of example. It serves as a connection for an electrical line, not shown.
  • lobes 20, 22 at the second connection means serve lobes 20, 22 at the second connection means as a connection to an electrical line, not shown. It is welded to the flaps 20, 22.
  • the first component 14 protrudes in the assembled state with a projection 24 into a recess 25 of the second component 16. It has a respect to a longitudinal axis employed and thus conical stop 26, to which the second component 16 with an end face 28 during a displacement in FIG. 3 strikes left.
  • the first component 14 can be inserted into the socket 10, wherein when plugging reliably and with a uniform increase in force, a contact with the blade 18 is established.
  • a tube 30 made of a conductive mesh tape For both electrical and mechanical coupling of the first component 14 with the second component 16 is used in the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, a tube 30 made of a conductive mesh tape.
  • the hose 30 is flexible overall. For example, it may bulge in compression in the axial direction. A corresponding belly is in FIG. 1 designated by the reference numeral 32.
  • the tube 30 is in a first portion 34 with the approach 24 of the first component 14 is crimped and crimped in a second portion 36 with a projection 38 of the second component 16. This crimping takes place by reducing the relevant diameter, which is possible because of the configuration of the two components 14 and 16 as rolled elements with slots 40 and 43, respectively.
  • tube 30 in FIG. 3 is not shown in section, but rather is indicated only by a hatched area.
  • the sections 34 and 36 and the belly 32 are shown.
  • the second component 16 is also designed bulbous, so that it has a corresponding receiving space 42.
  • FIG. 3 a distance "S" of the first component 14 from the second component 16 is shown.
  • the connector according to the invention shown in the drawing can thus compensate for mechanical loads in both axial and radial direction by corresponding relative displacement of the components 14 and 16 against each other, whereby a corresponding impairment significantly reduced, if not eliminated.
