  • the connection of a plug with a complementary mating connector, each with a plurality of plug contacts, which are connectable to electrical conductors, is usually made or disconnected by plugging or unplugging by hand.
  • An object of the invention is to facilitate the production of a connection and / or the separation of a connection of a plug with a complementary mating connector, especially in that area in which a particularly high force required for the connection or disconnection.
  • the inventive arrangement with a plug and a complementary mating connector is provided for making and / or separating a connection of the plug with the mating connector, wherein on the plug a pivotable about an axis lever is arranged.
  • the plug is a generally replaceable switch module, in particular a trigger module, which particularly preferably cooperates with a circuit breaker, wherein the circuit breaker forms or has the mating connector.
  • the plug is designed in particular for receiving a plug insert with a plurality of plug contacts and the mating plug for receiving a mating plug insert with a plurality of complementary plug contacts, wherein the plug contacts are each connected to electrical conductors.
  • the projection is in particular so shaped and arranged that the plug and the mating connector are removed from each other by one stretch from its connected position, that further pulling by hand without risk of injury, ie in particular without considerable effort is possible.
  • This distance by which the plug and the mating connector are removed from each other from their connected position is preferably less than 10 millimeters and more preferably less than 6 millimeters. In general, the distance is optimally about 4 millimeters. The person skilled in the art recognizes that distances of less than 1 millimeter generally do not permit a meaningful separation of the plug from the mating plug.
  • the power transmission from the projection on the mating connector takes place directly on a housing of the mating connector. It is so vorteilhattish no additional counter bearing on the mating connector needed.
  • an arrangement which has the plug and the complementary mating connector and is also provided for making and / or separating a connection of the plug with the mating connector, wherein on the plug a pivotable about an axis lever is arranged and according to the invention a connecting contour is provided on the lever and a pin is provided on the mating connector, wherein the connection of the plug with the mating connector can be produced upon pivoting of the lever into a connecting position by a force transmission from the connecting contour to the journal.

  • a latching recess arranged in the pivoting direction behind the connection contour, a latching of the lever can preferably be achieved when the connection of plug and mating plug is made when the journal can be latched into the latching recess.
  • locking is not essential to the solution of the object of the invention. Rather, the arrangement preferably has a locking device which is independent of the lever and which can only be locked after the connection has been established or which can not be opened in a switched-on state of a mating connector designed as a circuit breaker, so that an exchange of a switch module, in particular Trigger module, running plug is not possible.
  • the lever, on the one hand, of the axle has an actuating handle for pivoting the lever about the axis, the connecting contour and / or the projection being arranged on the opposite side of the lever.
  • the lever has a fork, wherein the connecting contour and the projection are arranged on different arms of the fork.
  • the lever between the connection position and the separation position Ober is an angular range of less than 90 ° pivotally, preferably over an angular range of less than 60 ° and more preferably over an angular range of less than 45 ° , Smaller swivel angle allow guiding the operating handle along only one side of the housing connector, which is advantageous in confined space conditions, as they are often found in switchgear, for example, industrial plants.
  • an actuating handle of the lever is guided in a guide slot on an actuating side of the plug.
  • the actuating handle can be latched in the connection position and / or in the separation position.
  • the actuating side of the plug is at least partially covered by a pivotable cover, wherein the cover has a lock, so that the cover is pivotable only in a position covering the operating side when the operating handle in the connection position or in the separation position, that is in particular locked. If the state of the connector is unclear, then the operating handle is in an intermediate position, so that the lock prevents covering the operating side.
  • a preferred embodiment which advantageously prevents incorrect operation, provides that the barrier has ramps at its edge regions, wherein the ramps are intended to displace the actuating handle into the connection position or into the separation position. This is recognizable only possible if the operating handle is already almost in the connecting position or almost in the separation position and only over a very small angular range of For example, less than 10 °, in particular less than 5 ° must be relocated.
  • a designed as a switch especially as a circuit breaker mating connector is provided that only when the cover of the operating side of the plug or the switch module, the switch is switched on.
  • the closed cover guarantees a defined state of the connector, either completely connected or disconnected, so that when switching on the switch there is no risk that an incomplete connection is present, which can lead to damage to the electrical system.
  • the lever is preferably additionally used as a transport lock.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an inventive arrangement with a plug 11 and a complementary mating connector 12 for making and / or separating a connection of the plug 11 with the mating connector 12.
  • An the plug 11 is a pivotable about an axis 32 lever 31 is arranged.
  • the plug 11 is a generally replaceable switch module, in particular a trigger module, which particularly preferably cooperates with a circuit breaker, wherein the circuit breaker forms the mating connector 12.
  • the lever 31 with a longitudinal axis A is shown in an intermediate position in which the connection between the plug 11 and mating connector 12 is neither made nor separated.
  • the lever 31 is pivoted into a release position T, in which the axis A is approximately on the line designated T, is characterized in that on the lever 31, a projection 39 is provided, the connection of the plug 11 with the mating connector 12 by a Power transmission from the projection 39 to the mating connector 12 separately.
