Definitions

  • the connector has a contact carrier, wherein the contact carrier consists for example of plastic and is produced in an injection molding process.
  • the contact carrier has contact chambers, wherein in each case a contact chamber, a contact partner is arranged and fixed.
  • the contact partner for example, a contact pin or a contact socket is struck at the end of an electric cable, wherein the electrical conductor of the cable is electrically and mechanically contacted with the contact partner.
  • Such a connection can be made for example by crimping, soldering or the like.
  • the contact partner is locked once or twice in the contact carrier, in particular in its contact chamber, wherein, for example latching hooks, projections or the like are used for locking.
  • the sealing element or parts thereof are already produced together with the contact carrier with the latter.
  • the sealing element is made of at least two parts, which are initially partially open for receiving the cable and are assembled after receiving the cable for the purpose of completely enclosing the cable ,
  • This provides the advantage that the end region of the cables, on which the contact partners are also struck, can be inserted into the contact carrier in the correct position, whereby the cables are already partially received in the region of the sealing element, in particular in a partial region of the sealing element , Due to the initially open configuration of the sealing element, the cables can be arranged with their contact partners without any problems both in the contact chambers of the contact carrier and in the open portion of the sealing element. This can be done in a preferred manner automated.
  • a supplementary or alternative purpose to the longitudinal water-tightness through the arrangement of the sealing element is to be seen in that in the longitudinal direction (along the cable) viewed through the sealing element prevents subsequently overmolded material, which is arranged around the sealing element, into the Contact chambers and consequently up to the contact partners, which are arranged in the contact chambers passes.
  • the subsequent encapsulation takes place for the reason either to complement the already existing sealing element or alone with the encapsulation to realize the longitudinal water tightness.
  • the second solution variant namely that the sealing element is also produced in an injection molding of plastic together with the contact carrier, once again described in summary.
  • the contact carrier 1 is made together with the sealing element in a plastic injection molding process.
  • the sealing element Part 3 forms an axial extension of the contact carrier. 1
  • This sealing element Part 3 has trough-shaped openings and is open in this state.
  • the second sealing element part 2 is arranged on the sealing element part 3 and has to the trough-shaped openings of the part 3 corresponding trough-shaped openings.
  • an encapsulation 5 surrounds the remote from the connector side of the connector 6 end portion overlaps the sealing element 2 including the If this extrusion coating 5, this is achieved either alone or in cooperation with the sealing element 2, 3, the longitudinal water-tightness. If no longitudinal water-tightness is to be achieved with the sealing element part 2, 3, its function is to be seen in the fact that, when the encapsulation 5 is carried out, the encapsulation material is prevented from entering the contact chambers of the contact carrier 1.
  • a contact carrier 1 in which at one end in the axial direction of the cable not shown here, a sealing region is provided on the contact carrier 1.
  • This sealing region can either be formed integrally with the contact carrier 1 or can be made separately from the contact carrier 1 and then be connected inseparably or detachably to the contact carrier 1.
  • the contact carrier 1 consists of a first plastic material, wherein the sealing area consists of a further plastic material, wherein the first plastic material has the required properties for forming the contact chambers and for receiving the contact partners and in terms of its material properties is harder than the other plastic material, from the sealing area is formed.
  • This further plastic material is softer (in particular formed as an elastomer) with respect to the first plastic material, so that it has the desired sealing properties with respect to the outer jacket of the cable.
  • the at least two parts, preferably the exactly two parts 2, 3, of the sealing area are preferably divided approximately in the middle plane and can, but do not have to be configured symmetrically.
  • the sealing area on the contact carrier 1 thus comprises many receiving areas, as the connector has cables with contact partners. However, if the cable is designed, for example, as a ribbon cable, it can be considered that the sealing region comprises only a single receiving region for the ribbon cable and completely encloses it in the sealing region.
  • the two-part sealing element according to Figure 1 thus comprises a first part 3, which is arranged detachably or permanently on the contact carrier 1.
  • This sealing element 3 is inseparably connected to the contact carrier 1 in the case when it has been produced in a two-component injection molding together with the contact carrier 1.
  • the first sealing element 3 is made detached as a separate component of the contact carrier 1 and then inextricably connected, for example by means of an adhesive bond, with this.
  • the first part of the sealing element 3 is then releasably connected to the contact carrier 1 when it is fixed to the contact carrier 1, for example by means of a latching connection, a tongue-and-groove connection or the like.
  • the second part 2 of the sealing element is loosely connected by the first sealing element 3 or, as shown in Figure 1, movably connected to the first sealing element 3.
  • This connection can be designed for example by a film hinge.
  • the two sealing element parts 2, 3 are closed by the second sealing element 2 is moved around the film hinge in the direction of the first sealing element 3 and fixed, for example, latching thereto.
  • latching for example (see Figure 1), the sealing area on the contact carrier 1, so the first sealing element 3, a latching hook and a correspondingly corresponding latching tab is provided on the second sealing element 2.
  • the shape of the sealing areas of the sealing elements 2, 3 and the geometric design of latching hook and latching tab are chosen so that when actuated locking connection, the two sealing element parts 2, 3 or their sealing areas under a certain bias (pressure) rest on the outer shells of the respective cable 4.
  • FIG. 3 it is shown in FIG. 3 that after the assembly of the sealing element, as described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, an encapsulation 5 takes place.
  • the encapsulation 5 takes place in such a way that the cable sheaths protruding from the sealing element 2, 3 are surrounded by the encapsulation material for a predetermined length.
  • the sealing element 2, 3 and in the direction of the sealing element 2, 3 facing area (end portion) of the contact carrier 1 are also encapsulated.
  • the finished connector 6 shown in Figure 3 is realized, so that the desired longitudinal water tightness is achieved throughout from the mating face of this connector 6 in the direction of the ailing cable.
  • the sealing element 2, 3 in this case the second part connected to the film hinge on the first sealing element part, has an elevation (bump), the surface of which protrudes either from the extrusion coating 5, flush with this closes or is arranged underneath, therefore, so after the encapsulation 5 is visible and remains to recognize that the sealing element was mounted in accordance with regulations (as shown in Figures 1 and 2) and after the encapsulation can be seen that the sealing element is present is (quality control).
