  • Such a connector in the form of a circular connector is from the European patent application EP 1 628 367 A1 known.
  • a multi-part contact carrier takes the electrical contacts a certain polar pattern in accordance with contact holders, which is free of play in a plug housing of the connector can be introduced.
  • the contact carrier consists of a plurality of nested contact holders arranged along the circumference of the cross-sectional shapes, associated with the contact parts, lockable clamp brackets and a cup-shaped contact carrier housing forming the locking of the clamping brackets, which engages over the contact holder over part of its axial length.
  • the contact holders have a plurality of radially arranged, with webs connected clamping brackets for receiving the contact parts.
  • the insulating contact carrier housing with a cylindrical inner circumferential surface encloses the contact parts in the clamping brackets, wherein the contact carrier housing and contact carrier via latching elements provided with each other are precisely latched, which allow both a mutual locking and unlocking.
  • the contact carrier is releasably secured to the contact carrier housing in the connector housing by latching.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a generic connector, in which the assembly and disassembly of the connector is improved in particular at reliable interlocking mutual contact carrier, contact carrier housing and the female housing section.
  • the electrical connector according to the invention on a contact carrier shell part, on which on one of the Einsteckseite facing away from the rear shell end axially extending spring arms are arranged, wherein at least one first spring arm has a radially outwardly projecting to the housing section locking element and at least one second spring arm has a radially projecting in the direction of the contact carrier inner latching element.
  • the second spring arm is used to lock the contact carrier with the contact carrier shell part after insertion of the contact carrier in the contact carrier shell part.
  • an end position of the contact carrier relative to the Kunststoffaktismemantelteil is advantageously carried out an independent locking of the contact carrier with the contact carrier shell part by means of the inner locking element of the second spring arm.
  • the locking is preferably carried out by the inner locking element engages over the contact carrier on the insertion side of the connector opposite rear end, wherein the other front end of the contact carrier is axially supported on the contact carrier shell part.
  • the thus formed, preassembled insulating body is inserted axially into the front tubular housing portion from one of the insertion side of the connector opposite rear side of the housing section forth in the housing portion, wherein the first spring arm for axially fixing the insulating body in the female housing portion in the inserted state.
  • the contact carrier shell part of the insulating automatically locked to the housing portion as soon as the outer locking element of the first spring arm of a complementary recess formed in the housing section is exactly opposite.
  • the locking between the contact carrier and the contact carrier shell part is carried out so securely that the contact carrier when inserting the insulating in the housing portion of the connector does not dissolve undesirable with the contact parts attached electrical leads from the contact carrier shell part. It reliably prevents undesirable loosening of the contact carrier from the contact carrier shell part even when the insulating body is mounted.
  • the releasable fixing of the contact carrier shell part in the housing section takes place in the axial direction tensile and pressure resistant. It also ensures the locking between the contact carrier and the contact carrier shell part, so that a loosening of the latching between the contact carrier shell part of the insulating body and the contact carrier is at least difficult.
  • a loosening of the insulating body of the surrounding housing portion takes place only when the first spring arm is deliberately pivoted so far in the direction of the insulating that the outer locking element of the contact carrier shell part and the recess of the housing section are disengaged. An unwanted unlocking of connector housing, contact carrier shell part and contact carrier is thus completely excluded.
  • the lock between the contact carrier and the contact carrier shell part can not be solved in case of latched with the housing portion insulator.
  • This ensures on the one hand the functional safety and on the other the personal protection in the proper use of the electrical connector.
  • This is preferably achieved in that when inserted into the housing portion insulating the second spring arm is supported on the housing portion inside. This reliably prevents pivoting of the second spring arm in the direction of the housing portion and thus inadvertent release of the lock on the insulating body.
  • the insulating body In order to remove the contact carrier from the contact carrier shell part, the insulating body must first be removed from the housing section.
  • the contact carrier has a recess associated with the first spring arm, which allows the outer contact element of the contact carrier jacket part to be detached from the housing section.
  • the first spring arm of the contact carrier shell part can be pivoted in the direction of the contact carrier without much effort until the latch between the insulating body and the housing section dissolves.
  • the insulating body can be removed from the housing section counter to its insertion direction.
  • the accessibility to the first spring arm or its operability depends essentially on the diameter of the tubular housing portion of the connector housing and of the supernatant of the first spring arm relative to the contact carrier on the side opposite the insertion side of the connector. Depending on this, the first spring arm can only be operated with one tool or without tools.
  • the housing section embracing the rear jacket end has, in a region of the first spring arm, a cutout which enables a simplified actuation of the first spring arm.
  • the cutout has a size that allows a pressing of the first spring arm in the direction of the contact carrier without a tool with a finger. This ensures easy operation of the first spring arm for separating the insulating body from the corresponding housing portion.
  • the inner locking element of the second spring arm in locking and in the direction of development inclined flanks.
  • an automatic unlocking and locking of contact carrier and contact carrier shell part can be achieved as soon as the contact carrier part is acted upon with a corresponding pressure force or the contact carrier with a corresponding tensile force in the axial direction against each other.
  • the locking and unlocking is only at from the Housing section removed insulator possible because only so the second spring arm can pivot in the radial direction to the outside.
  • the connector housing of the connector according to the invention can also be arranged at the free end of a loose electrical line. It is indispensable that the connector housing, which may be formed with any contour in itself, has a front tubular housing portion for receiving the insulating body.
