Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector, comprising a Steekerteil and a plug-together with the male part mating connector part and with a plug-part worn nut for screwing the male part with a threaded sleeve of the mating connector part, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such connectors are well known and are preferably used for electrical connections that should be easy and quick to manufacture and solvable.
  • the plug-in part and the plug-in part of the connector are secured against unintentional disconnection by the union nut.
  • the union nut which has an internal thread, turned on a mutual external thread of the mating connector part up to an axial stop and then tightened, so that the screw can not solve.
  • a disadvantage of such known connectors with standard thread is the time required for attaching or detaching such a connector.
  • connectors are still known in which the external thread of the mating connector part and the internal thread of the coupling Have nut provided in the insertion direction thread-free and thread-carrying portions which are formed and arranged such that when connecting the plug part with the mating plug part, the threaded portions are inserted into the respective unthreaded portions of the plug part or the mating plug part.
  • the plug connector can be locked by turning the cap nut. Quick assembly or disassembly is achieved by turning the union nut a maximum of one turn for locking.
  • Such a connector is disclosed in DE 102 33 075 B4.
  • the patent teaches an electrical connector with a threaded sleeve forming Steckerteii for screwing a nut of a mating with the plug mating connector part, wherein the outer thread of the threaded sleeve has at its outer diameter at least one provided in male or screw unthreaded area, and wherein the thread-free area of the external thread an adapted in its circumference internal thread of the nut can be inserted and fixedly rotatable.
  • a disadvantage of the described connector is considered that it is possible to turn the nut even if not completely mated connector. In such a case, although the plug part and the mating connector part can be tightened by repeatedly turning the nut and thus securely locked together, the advantage of quick assembly and disassembly is not guaranteed.
  • the invention is therefore the object of providing an electrical connector, in which rotation of the nut is prevented, as long as the plug part and the mating connector part are not completely mated. This object is achieved by an electrical connector with the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.
  • At least one raised annular collar portion is arranged in the insertion direction in front of at least one threaded portion of the union nut.
  • the collar portion engages when mating the male part with the mating connector part in the unthreaded region of the external thread of the threaded sleeve of the mating connector part and allows rotation of the nut until the collar portion has passed the unthreaded region.

  • This has a favorable effect on the process time during the production of the threaded nut and thus reduces the corresponding unit costs.
  • a receiving space for the annular collar portion of the union nut is provided in the insertion direction behind a thread of the threaded portion of the mating connector part.
  • the receiving space can be arranged in the thread-carrying area between the threaded rods or after the threads. Depending on its arrangement, it is bounded on one or both sides by a thread.
  • the receiving space is formed following the last thread in the insertion direction of the threaded sleeve, wherein it may be bounded by a circumferential annular collar on a side facing away from the external thread side.
  • the receiving space must have a width which is greater than the thickness of the annular collar portion in the insertion direction, wherein the thickness of the annular collar portion is determined essentially by the thread pitch of the threads of the union nut or the threaded sleeve and at least one Ifachen, preferably, 2 times a thread (thread pitch, Thread pitch) corresponds. :

  • the plug connector according to the invention has at least one thread-free region provided in the plug-in direction and at least one thread-carrying region adjoining it in the circumferential direction, which are designed and arranged such that when the plug part is mated with the mating plug part, the respective thread-carrying regions enter the associated thread-free regions of the plug Plug or mating connector part can be inserted in the insertion direction.
  • two thread-free and threaded portions for the internal thread of the nut or the external thread of the threaded sleeve may be provided on the plug part and the mating plug part, so that the nut does not tilt when screwed onto the threaded sleeve.
  • the mating connector part may have a cut or a cast thread.
  • a cast thread the two production-related flattened thread surfaces are understood as thread-free areas in the context of the invention.
  • the thread-carrying areas of the external thread each extend over 135 ° and its thread-free areas over 45 °. This means that 75% of the circumference of the external thread is designed as a threaded area and 25% as a thread-free area.
  • the ratio is correspondingly reversed in the circumference of the internal thread of the union nut.
  • the union nut for locking by about 135 °, with complete coverage of the threaded portions of the nut of the male part and the threaded sleeve of the mating connector part, rotated.
