  • a generic connector shows the US 3,491,330 , The assembly and adjustment of the coding device are relatively expensive.
  • the invention has the object to supplement the generic connector to a particularly easy to assemble easy to handle coding, which is relatively compact.
  • a simple method for coding the connector should be created.
  • the invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1 and claim 19.
  • the coding elements are preassembled as a preassembled unit on at least one of the plug connector parts and the respective other connector part is configured such that the one of the two pre-assembled coding device for the first purely axial mating of the two connector parts in / on him determines, so that this coding element after the first release of the first mated connector parts alone by axial pulling on this other connector part remains, wherein the force for releasing the coding element from the other connector part is greater than the force which is necessary to separate the two coding elements from each other.
  • axial is here a straight mating and separating without the need to move one of the connector parts perpendicular to the direction of insertion and removal to understand.
  • This connector is particularly advantageous in terms of assembly and handling of the coding. Especially the mounting of the coding device is very simple. The coding device also builds very compact, whereby different codes are not realized by many different coding elements but by turning the same.
  • the connector is designed for connection of electrical lines and / or light pipes and / or fluid lines.
  • a connector has a first connector part and a corresponding second connector part. They can be designed for mounting on housings or free cables / cables.
  • Fig. 1 shows as the first connector part, a plug part 1, which has a housing 2, are arranged on / in the plug contacts 3, which are formed here as pins.
  • the housing has remote openings 27 for to be connected ladder.
  • This plug part could also be referred to as a pin header.

To recognize collar 28, which receive the socket contacts. Furthermore, openings for conductors to be connected can also be provided on the housing (not visible here).
  • the housings 2, 4 and the electrical contacts - plug contact 3 and socket contact 4 - form on the sides to be joined in each case a so-called mating face and are formed correspondingly such that the electrical contacts 3, 6 and the housings 2, 5 can be plugged together the electrical contacts 3, 6 conductively connect to each other (see Fig. 7 and 16 ).
  • the plug part 1 and the socket part 4 each exemplify two of the electrical contacts.
  • the invention is not limited to this but can also be used in connector parts with only one or more than two corresponding contacts.
  • the housings 2, 5 of the connector parts are here designed such that at least in each case at least one mechanically acting by its distinguishable shape coding element 7, 8 (see Fig. 3 and 4 ) can be arranged and fastened, wherein the coding elements have a mutually corresponding, a mating permitting shape, so that they can each be plugged together to form a coding device 9 with the two coding elements 7, 8 ( Fig. 5 ).
  • more coding elements 7 can be provided as only one if they have a corresponding number of contours for the arrangement of the coding elements 7.
  • the male and female parts of the type shown each having two electrical contacts 3, 6, each provided with two coding elements 7, 8, so that on each of two coding devices 9a, 9b are formed (see, eg Fig. 6 and 7 ).
  • the housing 2 of the plug part here in a particularly clear view in a housing projection 10 in addition to the plug contacts 3 each have a receiving contour 11 for receiving the coding elements 7a, b ( Fig. 1 ).
  • These receiving contours 11 are designed such that, viewed from the mating face, they initially have a cylindrical receiving section 12 and subsequently a non-rotationally symmetrical, preferably polygonal receiving section 13 which, by way of example, has an approximately square geometry with slightly curved side and corner regions.
  • the struts 15, 16 and the lugs 17, 18 are shaped and designed so that it is possible to easily compress them radially towards each other so that they in the cylindrical receiving portion 11 of Fig. 1 can be plugged into it.
  • the lugs 17, 18 Upon further insertion into the receiving contour 11, the lugs 17, 18 finally snap into the square receiving section 13, the spring legs 15, 16 again moving radially away from each other, so that the lugs 17, 18 are held in the receiving section 13 like an undercut.
  • the head 14 rests on the housing 2.
  • the coding elements are held captive in the receiving contours 11 ( Fig. 8 ).
  • the approaches could theoretically also extend inward and there in contours intervene if the shots 11 would be designed differently (not shown here).
  • the head 14 - see Fig. 3 and 8th ) is provided with a non-rotationally symmetric Kodierkontur 19, which is preferably designed such that it may also be rotated once with a tool.
  • the coding contour 19 can therefore be designed, for example, as a non-symmetrical polygonal socket.
  • the Kodierkontur is designed as an arrow-shaped slot.
  • the coding element 7 can be rotated in the receiving contour 11 about its longitudinal axis, wherein the receiving portion 13 is here shaped such that the lugs 17, 18 are noticeably latched in each of two of the four corners of the receiving portion 13.
  • the coding element 7 can be adjusted in four different, visually based on the arrow contour clearly distinguishable from each other positions.
  • This number of positions is advantageous, but not mandatory. It can also be formed two, three or more locking areas in the receiving contour 13. Likewise, the number of struts 15, 16 and the lugs 17, 18 is advantageous, but not mandatory.
  • the corresponding coding element 8 of Fig. 4 also has a head 20 which is adapted to be placed on a housing projection / part 21 of the housing 5 of the socket part.
  • the head 20 is plate-like and has on its one side mounting or here plug contours 22, here pins, which here exemplarily in opposite corner regions of the preferably polygonal, in particular square-shaped head 15 at its side facing the housing projection 21 ( Fig. 7 ) are arranged.
  • a Kodierkontur 23 is formed, which has a Kodierkontur 19 corresponding shape.
  • the Kodierkontur 23 is therefore designed as a cross-section arrow-shaped pin, which is shaped such that it is preferably in the receiving contour 19 of the first Kodierelements easily clamped plugged.
  • one or more ribs 29 may be provided on the pin 23.
  • the two coding elements 7, 8 of each coding device 9 are here designed such that they together on one of two connector parts are pre-assembled.
  • the two coding elements 7, 8 are preferably already plugged together during production into a pre-assembled coding device 9 (FIG. Fig. 5 ). In this position, the Kodierkonturen 19, 23 engage each other and the heads 14, 20 preferably lie against each other.
  • an actuating contour is formed, which is here designed as a slot, which in turn has an arrow-like shape, wherein the alignment of this arrow contour corresponds to the orientation of the Kodierkontur.
  • the coding device 9 can be rotated on the plug part 1 in the preassembled position.
  • the plug contours 22 are from the head 15.
  • the plug part is provided with a corresponding mounting contour, here with holes (eg blind holes or holes) 25, which are designed and arranged such that with any orientation of the coding device in one of the possible - here four - coding positions each of the pins form- / / or positively engage in the holes 25.
  • four of the holes 25 are arranged on the corners of an imaginary square, so that for each of the four orientations of the coding element 7 on the plug part a corresponding Montagekonturmusteranssen, here hole pattern arrangement, on the socket part is present. This is particularly advantageous and structurally simple.
  • the holes 25 are arranged here on a square projection 26, but this is not mandatory.
  • the projection 26 provides a bearing surface for the head 20 of the coding element 8 (see Fig. 2 ).
  • the head 20 could also in a correspondingly shaped in the housing 5, preferably not rotationally symmetrical recording, in particular catch contour, engage (not provided here, but in the embodiment of Fig. 10 to 17 realized analogously).
  • the corresponding connector part - in Fig. 7 the female part 2 - on the first connector part 1 - in Fig. 7 the plug part 1 - put on.
  • the second coding element 8 on the housing 5 of the second connector part - in Fig. 7 the female part 2 - attached (For example, locked), so that it when disconnecting the two connector parts 1, 2 from each other on the second connector part - in Fig. 7c at the socket part 2 - remains.
  • the force for releasing the coding element 8 from the second connector part 2 must therefore be greater than the force which is necessary to separate the two coding elements 7, 8 from each other.
  • Fig. 10 to 17 show a kind of reverse variant, in which the coding devices 109 are preassembled with Kodiermaschinen 107, 108 respectively as a preassembled unit on the socket part 104 and in which the plug part 101 1 is formed such that it is the first mating with the socket part "coding" element 108 from Socket part 104 takes over. Otherwise, the male and female parts have the functions and elements of the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 10 on.
  • the coding device 109 is inserted, in which case a coding element 107 functionally analog coding element 107 in the receiving contour 111 with the receiving portions 112 and 113 can be inserted and latched in different positions.
  • the receiving contour 111 is axial (direction x in FIG Fig. 1 ) longer than in Fig. 1 to 10 so that the shape of the spring legs 115, 116 with the lugs 116, 117 is different than in FIG. 1 to 10 , They are shorter because they are formed on a partially hollow cylindrical portion 130, which adjoins the head 114.
  • the coding element 108 is functionally analogous to the coding element 8 of FIG Fig. 1 to 10 but is "received" after common pre-assembly with the coding element 107 on the socket part 104 of the plug part 101 1 at its first mating with the socket part 104.
  • the here stepped head 120 - here without pins 22 - is at least partially inserted into a corresponding, formed in the housing 102, preferably not rotationally symmetrical receptacle, in particular latching contour 125, and thus serves itself as the plug contour 122.
  • the head is in four positions in the locking contour 125 locked.
