Definitions
- Such connectors are used in particular in industrial control technology and serve, for example, to connect larger electronic devices, such as computers or industrial robots, to power supplies or other electrical components.
- the connector housing is usually composed of two housing parts, in each of which provided with contact elements Isolier analysesein accounts are provided, the contact elements when coupling the housing parts come into contact with each other.
- the housing parts are held in communication with each other via a locking device with a locking bracket, which acts on fastening elements which are arranged on both the first and the second housing part to be connected.
- a locking device basically two types of a locking bracket are known, namely a locking single-bar or a locking cross bar, depending on whether the locking bracket on the longer (single bar) or shorter (cross bar) of the side surfaces of the connector housing is arranged.
- the housing itself has the task of protecting the insulating body inserts received therein from external mechanical influences as well as from electromagnetic influences.
- housing parts made of metal or plastic, which have a sufficient mechanical strength to prevent damage to the incorporated therein elements by external action.
- the housing parts may be provided on their surface with an electrically conductive coating, which allows an electrical connection between the two housing parts and in this way a sufficient protection against electromagnetic interference from the outside for the contact devices in Interior of the housing guaranteed. Electromagnetic interference radiation occurring inside the housing can likewise not escape to the outside.
- an elastic sealing ring will be provided which is arranged between the two housing parts to secure the interior of the housing against the ingress of dirt and moisture.
- a sealing ring is this example made of an elastic material such as rubber or the like.
- the sealing ring acts regularly together with the longitudinal bracket of the locking device in such a way that the two housing parts are pressed together in a closed position of the locking device of the single handle, so that the intermediate sealing ring is elastically deformed. In this way it is ensured that the sealing ring rests tightly against the two housing parts in order to ensure the sealing of the interior of the housing.
- the longitudinal bracket Due to the elastic deformation of the sealing ring between the housing parts and the restoring force acting as a result of the elastic deformation, the longitudinal bracket is also kept under tension and remains in its closed position.
- the sealing ring thus also contributes to the locking of the locking device.
- Such connector housings are for example from the EP 2 192 659 A1 the applicant, the DE 92 18 209 U1 , of the DE 43 39 210 C1 , of the DE 26 32 338 or the EP 0 957 540 A2 known. This results in practice requirements on the manufacturing accuracy of the sealing surfaces of the housing parts, where the sealing ring comes to rest, and the manufacturing accuracy of the sealing ring itself.
- connector housing are known in which the locking bracket is integrally formed with an integral spring element in order to provide a secure connection of the housing parts even if, for example, the degree of hardness and elasticity of the sealing ring (setting behavior) change over time.
- this is achieved by an additional spring element in the form of a bent wire spring, which pivotally attaches the locking bracket to the associated mounting pin.
- the locking arms are connected by at least one resilient portion with the web of the locking bracket, so that the distance between the locking arms of a leg is mutually variable and the locking bracket is able to brace the at least two housing parts by connecting the connecting portions with the rigid fasteners against each other.
- the at least one elastically resilient portion If the locking bracket is moved from its open position to a closed position in which it clamps the housing parts to be joined against each other, the at least one elastically resilient portion, the distance between the locking arms of a locking bracket leg and their connecting portions due to an externally on the locking bracket acting force (for example, applied by a user traction) are increased. In this way, the respective connection sections with the rigid fasteners of the housing parts are connected, for example by the connecting portions engage behind the rigid fasteners. If the external force no longer acts on the locking bow (eg because the user releases the locking bow), a restoring force acting as a result of the elastic deformation of the elastically resilient portion pulls the connecting portions back into their mutually relative starting position, whereby the housing parts are braced against one another.
- an externally on the locking bracket acting force for example, applied by a user traction
- the restoring force of the elastically resilient portion between the locking arms with the connecting portions causes the locking bracket to be held in its closed position and released only by applying an external force which again acts against the restoring force and changes the distance between the connecting portions.
- this principle can be transferred both to a single locking lever and to a locking bracket designed as a crossbar.
- the resilient portion may include a single portion into which both latching arms open and the two latch arms connect a leg to the web of the latch bracket.
- two or more separate resilient portions may be provided, each connecting the one or the other connecting arm with the web of the locking bracket.

- a separate step of threading can be eliminated by the use of thread-forming screws. At the hole diameter no change is necessary in this case.
- the die casting of zinc alloys has the advantage that with a single mold and corresponding tools a larger number of housing parts can be produced than in a comparable method with aluminum alloys.
- the zinc die-cast housing has sufficient Hardness and strength in order to ensure good mechanical protection against, for example, shearing loaded portions, such as the fasteners. Due to the good electrical conductivity of zinc or of zinc alloys, a coating of the housing parts with an electrically conductive substance, as known from the prior art, may be dispensed with.
