Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder mit einem Außenleiterteil, einem Innenleiterteil, einem steckseitigen Ende zum steckenden Verbinden mit einem komplementären Koaxialsteckverbinder und einem kabelseitigen Ende zum Verbinden mit einem Koaxialkabel, wobei das Innenleiterteil zweiteilig mit einem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil, welches ein kontaktseitiges Ende aufweist, und einem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil, welches ein kontaktseitiges Ende aufweist, ausgebildet ist, wobei das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil derart ausgebildet ist, dass es mit einem Innenleiter eines mit dem Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder zu verbindenden Koaxialkabels verbindbar ist, wobei die kontaktseitigen Enden des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils sowie des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils einander derart zugewandt sind, dass diese einen elektrischen Kontakt zwischen dem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil und dem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil herstellen, wobei das steckseitige Innenleiterteil an seinem kontaktseitigen Ende als Stift mit einem vorbestimmten Durchmesser an einem freien Ende des Stiftes ausgebildet ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder having an outer conductor part, an inner conductor part, a male end for plug-in connection with a complementary coaxial connector and a cable-side end for connection to a coaxial cable, wherein the inner conductor part in two parts with a plug-side inner conductor part, which has a contact-side end, and a cable-side inner conductor part, which has a contact-side end is formed, wherein the cable-side inner conductor part is formed such that it is connectable to an inner conductor of a coaxial cable to be connected to the Koaxialwinkeles, wherein the contact-side ends of the plug-side inner conductor part and the cable-side inner conductor part facing each other in such a way in that they produce an electrical contact between the plug-side inner conductor part and the cable-side inner conductor part, wherein the plug-side inner conductor part adjoins Its contact-side end is designed as a pin with a predetermined diameter at a free end of the pin, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP 1 019 982 B1 ist ein Koaxialverbinderelement bekannt, das dazu bestimmt ist, am Ende eines Koaxialkabels montiert zu werden. Das Koaxialverbinderelement weist folgendes auf: Einen Mittelleiter, einen Außenleiter, einen Mittelkontakt mit einer Längsachse und mit einem mit dem Mittelleiter des Koaxialkabels verbundenen rückwärtigen Ende sowie einem vorderen Ende, das für die Verbindung des Koaxialverbinderelementes mit einem komplementären Verbinderelement ausgebildet ist, einen Außenkontakt, der mit dem Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels verbunden ist, und ein Übergangsstück, das auf dem Mittelleiter des Koaxialkabels montiert ist. Das hintere Ende des Mittelkontaktes weist eine umlaufende Einschnürung auf, deren Achse mit der Längsachse des Mittelkontaktes zusammenfällt, während das Übergangsstück eine elastische Gabel mit zwei Armen aufweist, die zwischen sich eine Aufnahme für die Einschnürung bilden. Das Einrasten der Einschnürung in die Aufnahme der Gabel erfolgt durch Eindrücken der Einschnürung in die Gabel in einer Richtung rechtwinklig zur Längsachse des Kontaktes. Das freie Ende jedes Armes der Gabel ist als Spitze ausgebildet, die durch zwei zylindrische Ausnehmungen begrenzt wird, deren Achsen zur Teilungsebene der beiden Arme senkrecht sind und die auf beiden Seiten einer zu der Teilungsebene der beiden Arme der Gabel rechtwinkligen Medianebene des Übergangsstückes liegen, so dass wenn das Übergangsstück in einer gegenüber der normalen Einrastposition verdrehten Position mit der Einschnürung des Mittelkontaktes in Berührung steht, ein Drehmoment auf das Übergangsstück ausgeübt wird, um es in eine Position zu drehen, in der die Einschnürung in die Gabel eingreifen kann. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass das Übergangsstück gegen einen gewissen Widerstand auf den Mittelleiterkontakt aufgeschoben werden muss, was zu einer unerwünschten axialen Krafteinwirkung auf den Innenleiter des Koaxialkabels führt und Beschädigungen des Innenleiters des Koaxialkabels zur Folge haben kann. Außerdem muss bei der Montage des Koaxialverbinders der Mittelleiterkontakt mit seiner Einschnürung genau auf der Längsachse des Übergangsstückes positioniert sein. Diese Positionierung muss bei der Montage überwacht werden und gleichzeitig dürfen die einzelnen Bauteile nur geringe Toleranzen aufweisen. Dies führt zu entsprechend hohen Herstellungskosten.From the EP 1 019 982 B1 For example, a coaxial connector element intended to be mounted at the end of a coaxial cable is known. The coaxial connector element comprises a center conductor, an outer conductor, a center contact having a longitudinal axis and a rear end connected to the center conductor of the coaxial cable, and a front end suitable for the connection of the coaxial connector element is formed with a complementary connector element, an external contact which is connected to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable, and a transition piece which is mounted on the center conductor of the coaxial cable. The rear end of the center contact has a circumferential constriction whose axis coincides with the longitudinal axis of the center contact, while the transition piece has an elastic fork with two arms, which form between them a receptacle for the constriction. The engagement of the constriction in the receptacle of the fork is made by pressing the constriction in the fork in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the contact. The free end of each arm of the fork is formed as a tip, which is bounded by two cylindrical recesses whose axes are perpendicular to the parting plane of the two arms and which lie on both sides of a plane perpendicular to the dividing plane of the two arms of the fork median plane of the transition piece, so that when the transition piece is in contact with the constriction of the center contact in a position rotated relative to the normal detent position, a torque is exerted on the transition piece to turn it into a position in which the constriction can engage the fork. However, this has the disadvantage that the transition piece must be pushed against a certain resistance to the center conductor contact, resulting in an undesirable axial force on the inner conductor of the coaxial cable and damage the inner conductor of the coaxial cable can result. In addition, when mounting the coaxial connector, the center conductor contact with its constriction must be positioned exactly on the longitudinal axis of the transition piece. This positioning must be monitored during assembly and at the same time the individual components must have only small tolerances. This leads to correspondingly high production costs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder der o.g. Art bei hoher Signalübertragungsqualität hinsichtlich der Montage und Herstellungskosten zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve a Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder the above type with high signal transmission quality in terms of assembly and manufacturing costs.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder der o.g. Art mit den in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder o.g. Art solved with the features characterized in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the further claims.

Bei einem Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder der o.g. Art ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil am kontaktseitigen Ende zwei Kontaktstege aufweist, die parallel zu einer Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils sowie in einer Ebene senkrecht zu einer Längsachse des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind, wobei ein Abstand zwischen den Kontaktstegen in der Ebene senkrecht zu der Längsachse des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils in Richtung senkrecht zur Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils größer ist als der vorbestimmte Durchmesser des Stiftes des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils, wobei an jedem Kontaktsteg ein plattenförmiges Kontaktelement angeordnet ist, welches jeweils an einer Seite mit dem Kontaktsteg verbunden ist und an einer von dem Kontaktsteg abgewandten Seite eine freie Kante aufweist, wobei die plattenförmigen Kontaktelemente jeweils relativ zu den Kontaktstegen bzw. der Ebene senkrecht zur Längsachse des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils derart verkippt sind, dass die freien Kanten der plattenförmigen Kontaktelemente zwischen sich einen Längsschlitz parallel zur Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils ausbilden, wobei ein Abstand zwischen den freien Kanten der plattenförmigen Kontaktelemente in Richtung senkrecht zur Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils kleiner ist als der vorbestimmte Durchmesser des Stiftes an dessen freiem Ende.For a coaxial angle connector of the o.g. Art it is inventively provided that the cable-side inner conductor part has two contact webs at the contact end, which are arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cable side inner conductor part and in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor part spaced from each other, wherein a distance between the contact webs in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor part in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part is greater than the predetermined diameter of the pin of the plug-side inner conductor part, wherein at each contact web a plate-shaped contact element is arranged, which is connected at one side to the contact web and at one side facing away from the contact web has a free edge, wherein the plate-shaped contact elements in each case relative to the contact webs or the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor part derar t tilted that the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements between them form a longitudinal slot parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part, wherein a distance between the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part is smaller than the predetermined diameter of the pin its free end.

Dies hat den Vorteil, dass eine einfache Montage möglich ist, da Toleranzen automatisch durch das Langloch ausgeglichen werden. Gleichzeitig erfolgt bei der Montage des Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders keine axiale Krafteinwirkung auf das Koaxialkabel, so dass Beschädigungen des Koaxialkabels bei der Montage wirksam vermieden sind, da aufgrund der gegenständlichen Ausbildung des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils zuerst das Koaxialkabel mit dem darauf montierten kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil in den Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder eingeschoben und erst danach das steckseitige Innenleiterteil in den Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder derart eingeschoben werden kann, dass sich der Stift des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils in den Längsschlitz des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils gegen die elastische Rückstellkraft der plattenförmigen Kontaktelemente des kontaktseitigen Endes des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils hinein drückt. Weiterhin ist das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil in Richtung einer Längsachse des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils offen, so dass automatisch Toleranzen hinsichtlich der axialen Länge des Stiftes des steckseitigen Innenleiterteils ausgeglichen werden. Insgesamt werden Toleranzen in axialer Richtung hinsichtlich der Längsachse des steckseitigen Innenleiterbauteils und in axialer Richtung hinsichtlich der Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterbauteils ausgeglichen.This has the advantage that a simple assembly is possible because tolerances are compensated automatically by the slot. At the same time takes place during assembly of Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders no axial force on the coaxial cable, so that damage to the coaxial cable are effectively avoided during assembly, since due to the representational training of the cable side inner conductor part first inserted the coaxial cable with the cable-side inner conductor part mounted thereon in the Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder and only afterwards the plug-side inner conductor part inserted into the Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder such can be that the pin of the plug-side inner conductor part presses into the longitudinal slot of the cable-side inner conductor part against the elastic restoring force of the plate-shaped contact elements of the contact-side end of the cable-side inner conductor part. Furthermore, the cable-side inner conductor part is open in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor part, so that tolerances with respect to the axial length of the pin of the plug-side inner conductor part are automatically compensated. Overall tolerances are compensated in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the plug-side inner conductor component and in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor component.

Um den Längsschlitz an einer gewünschten Position beabstandet von einer durch die Kontaktstege aufgespannten Ebene bzw. fluchtend mit einer Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils platzieren zu können, weist das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil am kontaktseitigen Ende zwei U-förmige Halterungen mit jeweils zwei Schenkeln und jeweils einem der Kontaktstege als die Schenkel verbindende Basis der U-förmigen Halterung auf, wobei der Längsschlitz zwischen den freien Kanten der plattenförmigen Kontaktelemente in einem Raum zwischen den U-förmigen Halterungen ausgebildet ist.In order to place the longitudinal slot at a desired position spaced from a plane defined by the contact webs plane or aligned with a longitudinal axis of the cable side inner conductor part, the cable-side inner conductor part at the contact end two U-shaped brackets with two legs and one of the contact webs as the leg connecting base of the U-shaped bracket, wherein the longitudinal slot is formed between the free edges of the plate-shaped contact elements in a space between the U-shaped brackets.

Zur Erhöhung der mechanischen Stabilität der Anordnung ist wenigstens ein Schenkel, insbesondere beide Schenkel, der einen U-förmigen Halterung mit einem in Richtung senkrecht zur Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils gegenüberliegenden Schenkel der anderen U-förmigen Halterung über einen zusätzlichen Verbindungssteg verbunden. Hierbei ist vorzugsweise der zusätzliche Verbindungssteg senkrecht zu der Längsachse des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteils angeordnet.To increase the mechanical stability of the arrangement, at least one leg, in particular both legs, which is connected to a U-shaped holder with an opposite in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part leg of the other U-shaped holder via an additional connecting web. In this case, the additional connecting web is preferably arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable-side inner conductor part.

In einer bevorzugte Ausführungsform sind die Schenkel und der Kontaktsteg wenigstens einer der U-förmigen Halterung in einer Ebene angeordnet, wobei bevorzugt die U-förmigen Halterungen derart angeordnet sind, dass die jeweils von den Schenkeln und dem Kontaktsteg der U-förmigen Halterungen aufgespannten Ebenen parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind.In a preferred embodiment, the legs and the contact web of at least one of the U-shaped holder are arranged in a plane, wherein preferably the U-shaped holders are arranged such that each of the legs and the contact web of the U-shaped brackets spanned planes are aligned parallel to each other.

Beispielsweise nimmt der Durchmesser des Stiftes ausgehend von dem vorbestimmen Durchmesser am freien Ende in axialer Richtung zu oder bleibt konstant.For example, the diameter of the pin increases from the predetermined diameter at the free end in the axial direction or remains constant.

Eine besonders gute Kontaktkraft erzielt man dadurch, dass die plattenförmigen Kontaktelemente und/oder die Kontaktstege und/oder das kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil aus einem elastisch federnden Werkstoff hergestellt sind.A particularly good contact force is achieved by the fact that the plate-shaped contact elements and / or the contact webs and / or the cable-side inner conductor part are made of an elastically resilient material.

Eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung erzielt man dadurch, dass das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil als Stanz-Biege-Teil ausgebildet ist.A particularly cost-effective production is achieved in that the cable-side inner conductor part is formed as a stamped and bent part.

Eine besonders gute Ableitung von thermischer Energie aus dem Bereich des Kontaktes zwischen dem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil und dem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil erzielt man dadurch, dass das steckseitige Innenleiterteil als Drehteil ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch können auch hohe elektrische Leistungen über den erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder übertragen werden, ohne dass eine thermische Überhitzung mit entsprechender Beschädigung des Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder eintritt.A particularly good dissipation of thermal energy from the region of contact between the cable-side inner conductor part and the plug-side inner conductor part is achieved in that the plug-side inner conductor part is designed as a rotating part.

Die aus den Fig. 1 bis 4 ersichtliche, bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders weist ein steckseitiges Ende 10 zum steckenden Verbinden mit einem komplementären Koaxialsteckverbinder (nicht dargestellt) sowie ein kabelseitiges Ende 12 zum Verbinden mit einem Koaxialkabel 14 (Fig. 3) auf, und umfasst ein zweiteiliges Außenleiterteil mit einem steckseitigen Außenleiterteil 16 und einem kabelseitigen Außenleiterteil 18, ein zweiteiliges Innenleiterteil mit einem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil 22 und einem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil 20, eine Crimphülse 24 zum crimpenden Befestigen auf dem Koaxialkabel 14, sowie ein Dielektrikum 26. Das steckseitige Innenleiterteil 22 ist in dem steckseitigen Außenleiterteil 16 und das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 ist in dem kabelseitigen Außenleiterteil 18 angeordnet. Das steckseitige Innenleiterteil 22 bzw. das steckseitige Außenleiterteil 16 weist eine erste Längsachse 28 auf, wobei das steckseitige Innenleiterteil 22 bzw. das steckseitige Außenleiterteil 16 koaxial zueinander angeordnet sind, d.h. deren jeweilige Längsachsen 28 fluchten miteinander. Das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 bzw. das kabelseitige Außenleiterteil 18 weist jeweils eine zweite Längsachse 30 auf, wobei das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 und das kabelseitige Außenleiterteil 18 koaxial zueinender angeordnet sind, d.h. deren jeweilige Längsachsen 30 fluchten miteinander.The from the Fig. 1 to 4 apparent, preferred embodiment of a Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders invention has a plug-side end 10 for plug-in connection with a complementary coaxial connector (not shown) and a cable-side end 12 for connecting to a coaxial cable 14 (FIG. Fig. 3 ), and comprises a two-part outer conductor part with a plug-side outer conductor part 16 and a cable-side outer conductor part 18, a two-part inner conductor part with a plug-side inner conductor part 22 and a cable side Inner conductor part 20, a crimping sleeve 24 for crimping fastening on the coaxial cable 14, and a dielectric 26. The plug-side inner conductor part 22 is in the plug-side outer conductor part 16 and the cable-side inner conductor part 20 is disposed in the cable-side outer conductor part 18. The plug-side inner conductor part 22 or the plug-side outer conductor part 16 has a first longitudinal axis 28, wherein the plug-side inner conductor part 22 and the plug-side outer conductor part 16 are arranged coaxially to each other, ie their respective longitudinal axes 28 are aligned. The cable-side inner conductor part 20 and the cable-side outer conductor part 18 each have a second longitudinal axis 30, wherein the cable-side inner conductor part 20 and the cable-side outer conductor part 18 are arranged coaxially zueinender, ie their respective longitudinal axes 30 are aligned.

Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, ist das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 mit einem Innenleiter 32 des Koaxialkabels 14 elektrisch und mechanisch mittels einer Crimpverbindung 34 verbunden. Die Crimphülse 24 ist auf einen Außenleiter 36 des Koaxialkabels 14 aufgecrimpt.How out Fig. 3 As can be seen, the cable-side inner conductor part 20 is electrically and mechanically connected to an inner conductor 32 of the coaxial cable 14 by means of a crimp connection 34. The crimp sleeve 24 is crimped onto an outer conductor 36 of the coaxial cable 14.

Das steckseitige Innenleiterteil 22 weist an einem dem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil 20 zugewandten Ende einen Stift 38 auf, welcher an einem freien Ende einen vorbestimmten Durchmesser aufweist, wobei in axialer Richtung, d.h. entlang der ersten Längsachse 28 in Richtung des steckseitigen Endes 10, der Durchmesser konstant ist.The plug-side inner conductor part 22 has at a cable-side inner conductor part 20 facing the end of a pin 38 which has a predetermined diameter at a free end, wherein in the axial direction, i. along the first longitudinal axis 28 in the direction of the plug-side end 10, the diameter is constant.

Wie aus den Fig. 6 bis 9 ersichtlich ist, weist das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 an einem dem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil 22 zugewandten kontaktseitigen Ende zwei Kontaktstege 40 auf, die parallel zur zweiten Längsachse 30 sowie in einer Ebene senkrecht zur ersten Längsachse 28 angeordnet und in Richtung senkrecht zur zweiten Längsachse 30 voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind. Dieser Abstand 52 (Fig. 9) in Richtung senkrecht zur zweiten Längsachse 30 ist größer als der vorbestimmte Durchmesser des Stiftes 38. Jeder der Kontaktstege 40 bildet zusammen mit je zwei Schenkeln 42 eine U-förmige Halterung aus, die beidseitig gegenüberliegend der zweiten Längsachse 30 sowie einander zugewandt angeordnet sind. An jedem Kontaktsteg 40 ist eine Kontaktplatte 44 angeordnet, welche mit einer Seite an dem jeweiligen Kontaktsteg 40 befestigt ist und an einer gegenüberliegenden, von dem Kontaktsteg 40 abgewandten Seite eine freie Kante 46 aufweist. Die Kontaktplatten 44 sind bzgl. der Kontaktstege 40 bzw. der Ebene senkrecht zur ersten Längsachse 28 derart verkippt, dass die freien Kanten 46 der Kontaktplatten 44 zwischen sich einen Längsschlitz 48 (Fig. 2) ausbilden, der parallel zur zweiten Längsachse 30 ausgerichtet ist und in Richtung senkrecht zur ersten und zweiten Längsachse 28, 30 eine kleinste Breite 50 (Fig. 9) aufweist, die kleiner ist als der vorbestimmte Durchmesser des Stiftes 38.Like from the Fig. 6 to 9 it can be seen, the cable-side inner conductor part 20 on a plug-side inner conductor part 22 facing the contact-side end two contact webs 40 which are arranged parallel to the second longitudinal axis 30 and in a plane perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis 28 and spaced apart in the direction perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis 30 , This distance 52 ( Fig. 9 ) in the direction perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis 30 is greater than the predetermined diameter of the pin 38. Each of the contact webs 40 forms, together with two legs 42, a U-shaped bracket, the two opposite sides of the second longitudinal axis 30 and facing each other are arranged. Arranged on each contact web 40 is a contact plate 44, which is fastened with one side to the respective contact web 40 and has a free edge 46 on an opposite side remote from the contact web 40. The contact plates 44 are tilted with respect to the contact webs 40 and the plane perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis 28 such that the free edges 46 of the contact plates 44 between them a longitudinal slot 48 (FIGS. Fig. 2 ), which is aligned parallel to the second longitudinal axis 30 and in the direction perpendicular to the first and second longitudinal axis 28, 30 has a smallest width 50 (FIG. Fig. 9 ) which is smaller than the predetermined diameter of the pin 38.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 1, 3 und 4 ersichtlich, greift der Stift 38 in den Längsschlitz 48 derart ein, dass ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen dem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil 22 und dem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil 20 ausgebildet ist.As in particular from Fig. 1 . 3 and 4 can be seen, the pin 38 engages in the longitudinal slot 48 such that an electrical contact between the plug-side inner conductor part 22 and the cable-side inner conductor part 20 is formed.

Bei der Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckers wird zunächst das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 am freigelegten Innenleiter 32 des Koaxialkabels 14 befestigt und die Crimphülse 24 auf den freigelegten Außenleiter 36 des Koaxialkabels 14 gecrimpt. Das derart vorbereitete Koaxialkabel 14 wird dann in das kabelseitige Ende 12 des kabelseitigen Außenleiterteils 18 des erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckers eingeschoben, bis sich das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 an der in Fig. 1 bzw. 3 dargestellten Position befindet bzw. bis die erste Längsachse 28 zwischen den beiden Kontaktstegen 40 hindurch läuft. Anschließend wird das steckseitige Außenleiterteil 16 zusammen mit dem darin angeordneten steckseitigen Innenleiterteil 22 parallel zur ersten Längsachse 28 in das kabelseitige Außenleiterteit 18 eingesteckt. Hierdurch greift der Stift 38 in den Längsschlitz 48 und stellt den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen dem steckseitigen Innenleiterteil 22 und dem kabelseitigen Innenleiterteil 20 her. Durch die Anordnung und Ausbildung des Stiftes 38 und des Längsschlitzes 48 werden Toleranzen in Richtung der ersten Längsachse 28 und in Richtung der zweiten Längsachse 30, d.h. also in zwei Richtungen im Raum, automatisch ausgeglichen.When mounting the Koaxialwinkelsteckers invention, the cable-side inner conductor part 20 is first attached to the exposed inner conductor 32 of the coaxial cable 14 and the crimp sleeve 24 crimped onto the exposed outer conductor 36 of the coaxial cable 14. The thus prepared coaxial cable 14 is then inserted into the cable-side end 12 of the cable-side outer conductor part 18 of the Koaxialwinkelsteckers invention until the cable-side inner conductor part 20 at the in Fig. 1 or 3 shown position or until the first longitudinal axis 28 passes between the two contact webs 40 therethrough. Subsequently, the plug-side outer conductor part 16 is inserted together with the plug-side inner conductor part 22 arranged therein parallel to the first longitudinal axis 28 in the cable-side outer conductor 18. As a result, the pin 38 engages in the longitudinal slot 48 and establishes the electrical contact between the plug-side inner conductor part 22 and the cable-side inner conductor part 20. Due to the arrangement and design of the pin 38 and the longitudinal slot 48 tolerances in the direction of the first longitudinal axis 28 and in the direction of the second longitudinal axis 30, ie, in two directions in space, automatically compensated.

Bei der in den Fig. 1 bis 9 dargestellten, bevorzugten Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders ist das kabelseitige Innenleiterteil 20 als Stanzbiegeteil und das steckseitige Innenleiterteil 22 als Drehteil ausgebildet. Hierdurch wird thermische Energie von dem elektrischen Kontakt im Bereich der Kontaktstelle zwischen dem Stift 38 und den Kontaktplatten 44 schnell abgeführt. Dies ermöglicht auch die Übertragung von Signalen mit hoher Leistung über den erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder ohne dass eine Überhitzung des erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders mit entsprechender Schädigung der Innenleiterteile 20, 22 bzw. des Dielektrikums 26 eintritt.In the in the Fig. 1 to 9 shown, preferred embodiment of a Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders invention, the cable-side inner conductor part 20 is formed as a stamped and bent part and the plug-side inner conductor part 22 as a rotating part. As a result, thermal energy is quickly removed from the electrical contact in the region of the contact point between the pin 38 and the contact plates 44. This also allows the transmission of signals with high power over the Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder invention without overheating of the Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders invention occurs with corresponding damage to the inner conductor parts 20, 22 and the dielectric 26.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 6, 7 und 8 ersichtlich, werden mehrere kabelseitige Innenleiterteile 20 an einem Trägerband 54 für eine automatisierte Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder zur Verfügung gestellt. Dies ermöglicht zusammen mit dem oben erläuterten automatischen Toleranzausgleich in zwei Richtungen im Raum eine effiziente, schnelle und kostengünstige automatisierte Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinders sowie der Konfektionierung mit einem Koaxialkabel 14.As in particular from FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 As can be seen, a plurality of cable-side inner conductor parts 20 are provided on a carrier tape 54 for automated assembly of the coaxial angle connector according to the invention. This, together with the above-described automatic tolerance compensation in two directions in space, enables an efficient, fast and cost-effective automated assembly of the coaxial angle plug connector according to the invention and the assembly with a coaxial cable 14.

Das steckseitige Außenleiterteil 16 kann einfach durch ein anderes ersetzt werden, so dass Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder mit unterschiedlichen Anschlussarten, wie beispielsweise MCX (Mikro-Koax), SMB oder QMA auf ein und derselben Maschine ohne wesentliche Umbauten gefertigt werden können.The plug-side outer conductor part 16 can be easily replaced by another, so that Koaxialwinkelsteckverbinder with different types of connections, such as MCX (micro-coax), SMB or QMA can be made on the same machine without significant modifications.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 6 und 9 ersichtlich, sind je zwei Schenkel 42 von zwei verschiedenen U-förmigen Halterungen über einen Verbindungssteg 56 miteinander verbunden. Dies erhöht die mechanische Stabilität des kabelseitigen Innenleiterteiles 20.As in particular from 6 and 9 can be seen, two legs 42 of two different U-shaped brackets via a connecting web 56 are interconnected. This increases the mechanical stability of the cable-side inner conductor part 20.
