Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • a generic connector goes out of the DE 10 2006 030 784 A1 out.
  • a arranged in a connector base element contact element is held by a secondary latch.
  • at least one transverse to the insertion direction arranged secondary locking recess is provided in the contact element, in which engages a locking cam of a secondary locking element in the locking position of the secondary locking element.
  • the contact element of this connector has a Crimpfahne, which serves for contacting a stripped electrical conductor.
  • Such connectors are also used in the automotive field.
  • the plugs and in particular the crimp terminals of the conductors are subject to considerable loads, for example shaking loads, Vibration loads and the like. This leads to a considerable load on the transition region between knife or spring contacts and the crimping area. For example, these vibrations can cause breakage.
  • contact corrosion of a copper conductor occurs in the crimp terminal, which acts as an insulator and thereby unacceptably increases the resistance.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing such a connector so that the above-described disadvantages do not occur and that in particular such a connector and considerable vibration loads and / or vibration loads, such as occur in vehicles can be suspended.
  • the connector according to the invention is characterized by a fixed end of a crimping fixation, which engages in a gegentechnische recess in the connector base.
  • the basic idea of the invention is not only to secure and fix the connector by means of the primary and secondary locking, but to provide a fixing element which is arranged at a maximum possible distance from the secondary locking element and thus fixes the contact element in the Connector base element at two points and in particular ensures a fixation of the crimping of the contact element.
  • the Fixierelemnt cooperates with the opposite recess so that the fixing element comes by the movement of the contact element in the insertion direction on a surface of the opposite recess in the connector base element by applying a bias to the plant.
  • a vibration and vibration resistant locking of the contact element is achieved in the connector base element.
  • an advantageous embodiment provides that the at least one secondary locking recess is conical and the locking cam with respect to this secondary locking recess has a (slight) oversize, so that upon engagement of the secondary locking cam in the secondary locking recess at a simultaneous Movement of the contact element in the connector base parallel to the insertion direction a clamping of the locking cam in the secondary locking recess is caused.
  • the arrangement of the fixing element on the contact element can be done purely in principle in a variety of ways.
  • a very advantageous embodiment which in particular also enables easy contacting of the conductor in the crimp region of the contact element, provides for arranging the fixing element on a bend extending perpendicularly to the plug-in direction.
  • the maximum opening cross section for receiving the conductor in the crimping area is not only provided, but the bend even fulfills the task of an insertion aid for the conductor in the crimping area, as in a faulty positioning of the conductor, this is guided along the turn until he in reaches the crimping area.
  • the bend includes an angle of 90 ° with the plugging direction.
  • An angle of 90 ° allows the best training of an abutment.
  • the fixing element itself preferably has a substantially T-shaped form.
  • a lateral that is perpendicular to the direction of insertion fixation achieved in a very advantageous manner due to the opposite education in the connector base.
  • a locking spring for deflection into a provided in the connector base element primary locking recess is arranged on the contact element.
  • the pull-out force can by a variation of the number of recesses, in which each locking cam of the secondary locking element engage in the locking position of the secondary locking element, be adapted to predetermined pull-out requirements. As a result, very high pull-out forces of, for example, 100 Newton or more can be achieved.
  • One embodiment provides that a secondary locking element recess is provided in the connector base element, which receives the secondary locking element in the locking position.
  • the secondary locking element is with this measure in the locking position an integral part of the connector.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the secondary locking element at the front end has a coding surface, which prevents plugging of the connector when the secondary locking element is positioned outside the locking position. With this measure, the safety of the connector is increased.
  • the insertion of the connector according to the invention in the connector corresponding to the second connector according to the invention is only possible if the secondary locking element is positioned in the locking position.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides that in the front region of the secondary locking element at least one arranged in the insertion direction coding rib is provided.
  • the Codier-rib prevents incorrect production of the connector when the secondary locking element is positioned in the locking position.
  • connector has a connector base 110, which consists of an insulating material, in particular of plastic.
  • a contact element 200 is arranged in this connector base element 110.
  • a secondary locking element 300 is arranged in the plug connector base element 110, wherein the secondary locking element 300 has locking cams 305, 306, which in the locked state (FIG. Fig. 2 . Fig. 4 ) engage in secondary locking recesses 205, 206 of the contact element 200. How the particular Fig. 3 and the Fig.
  • the secondary locking recess 205, 206 is conical, whereas at least one locking cam 305 relative to the secondary locking recess 205 has a (slight) oversize, that is, is slightly larger than the secondary locking recess 205.
  • the conical configuration of the secondary locking receptacles 205, 206 causes, during the engagement of the locking cams 305, 306, a movement of the contact element against the plugging direction, which in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is indicated with an arrow R, is caused.
  • the contact element 300 is fixed and locked in the connector base 200.
  • the exercise of a counter to the direction of insertion R acting movement of the contact element 200 in the connector base 110 causes at the same time that a on the contact element (see Fig. 6 . Fig. 7 ) arranged fixing element 215 engages in a gegentechnische recess 115 of the connector base member 110 and there comes to a stop surface 116 while exerting a bias to the plant ( Fig. 1 . Fig. 2 ).
  • a fixation of the contact element 200 is accomplished in the connector base 110 at a second position.
  • the contact element 200 is fixed in two places in the connector base element 110, on the one hand by the secondary locking means of the cams 305, 306 in the corresponding conical openings 205, 206 in the contact element 200, on the other hand by the fixing element 215 in the Openings 115 of the connector base 110 under bias.
  • the fixation by the fixing element 215 causes in particular that even with a strong vibrations or shaking exposed operation of the connector 100 no breakage of the contact element 200, for example, in the area directly between the secondary locking recesses 205, 206 and the Crimerieln 240 occurs and that in particular no Contact corrosion in the crimping area is caused by continuous very strong vibrations. Rather, the contact element 200 and in particular the crimping area is held completely immovable and also stationary with respect to vibrations in its position in the connector base element 110.
  • the connector base element 110 has, in a known manner, a primary locking recess 127, which can be produced by injection molding or by milling and the like.
  • the secondary locking element 300 has on its side facing the contact springs 210 of the contact element 200, that is, on the plug side an encoder rib 330, which extends in the plugging direction R. This at least one coding rib 330 prevents an erroneous mating operation when the secondary locking element 300 is already positioned in the locking position.
  • a coding element 111 can also be arranged on the plug connector base element 110, which in particular prevents incorrect orientation of the plug connector relative to a corresponding plug connector (not illustrated).
  • This coding element 111 also cooperates with the secondary locking element 300.
  • the coding rib 330 is aligned with the coding element 111 of the connector base element 110, and the coding surface 332 no longer communicates with this coding element 111.
  • the secondary locking element 300 lies in a secondary locking element recess 119 arranged in the connector base element 110 and is received thereby.
  • coding ribs 191, 192 are arranged in the connector base element 110, which prevent an incorrect connection with a corresponding further connector ( Fig. 5 ).
  • the contact element 200 has on its contact elements, in the case shown, this spring elements 210, side facing a substantially rectangular positioning frame 211 with an opening 212.
  • This positioning frame is in a corresponding recess 123 of the Steckverbinderg round member 110 receiving and allows exact positioning of the spring elements 210 in a known manner.
  • the contact element 200 also has a locking spring 220, which also springs in known manner in the inserted state of the contact element 200 in the Primärverriegelungsaus Principleung 127 and the contact element 200 is supported against pulling on a Primärverriegelungswiderlager 128 in a known per se.
  • the fixing element 215 is arranged on a curved bend 216 which forms an angle of 90 ° with the plugging direction R.
  • This has the advantage that the opening for the introduction of a cable 204 is easily accessible.
  • the cable is stripped in a known manner, the stripped part is contacted in the crimping area 240 by crimping.
  • the non-stripped cable sheath is clamped in a clamping region 243 and thus provided a strain relief.
  • the advantage of the above-described connector 100 is that by fixing the connector by means of primary locking element formed from spring 220 and primary locking abutment 125, secondary locking element formed from secondary locking recesses 205, 206, which are conical, and cams 305, 306 of the secondary locking element 300, whose at least one opposite a secondary locking recess 205 has a (slight) oversize, and formed by the fixing element 215, which engages in a corresponding opposite recess 115 in the secondary locking base element 110 and a prestressed Fixing the contact element 200 in the connector base element 110 mediates, a fixing and locking at a plurality of points of the contact element 200 in the connector base element 110 and in particular also ends of the crimping is achieved.
  • the curved right-angled bend 216 also proves to be particularly advantageous with regard to the exertion of the prestressing, as a result of this a spring effect can be achieved.
  • the contact element 200 is in this way at two points spaced from each other spatially, namely the secondary locking, formed by the secondary locking recess 205, 206 and the cams 305, 306 and the end of the crimping region arranged fixing element 215, which in the opposite opening 115 of the secondary locking element 110 engages fixed. This prevents vibration of the crimping area 240 and of the clamping area 242, which can lead to disruptive contact corrosion and thus interruption of the electrical contact due to resistance increase or even breakage of the contact element 200.
  • the fixing element is essentially T-shaped. As a result, not only the contact surface is increased in the insertion direction, but also conveys an optimal locking perpendicular to the direction of insertion.
  • the number of secondary locking recesses 205, 206 is selected depending on the pull-out force. If the pull-out force is smaller, one of the two pull-outs is sufficient. In addition, more than two recesses could be provided.
