Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device for fastening a connector plug to a base housing by means of a fastening element. Furthermore, the invention relates to a connector assembly with such a fastening device.
  • a connector usually has a plug housing consisting of an insulating material with at least one conductor connecting element arranged therein and a plug contact connected to the conductor connecting element.
  • the connector may be formed as a screw terminal on which a screw shaft is provided on the connector housing, via which a screw can be inserted into the interior of the connector housing.
  • a base housing may be provided, which is usually arranged via solder pins on the circuit board and has a slot for attaching the connector plug.
  • Such plug assemblies are mainly used where a contact protection of the connector plug to the circuit board is desired.
  • fastening devices which have a fastening means.
  • fastening means are usually on the connector and / or on the base housing special receiving elements, for example in the form of openings provided, in which the fastening means in the attached state, ie in the state when the Connector is attached to the base housing, engages.
  • This increases on the one hand the design effort of such connector assemblies and also the fasteners are usually so arranged on the connector and the base housing that they are difficult to access for a user and thus cumbersome to operate. Replacing the fasteners is considerably more difficult and is usually possible only with additional tools.
