Elektrischer Steckverbinder mit vorgeordneter Kontaktklemme  Electrical connector with upstream contact terminal
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem elektrischen Steckverbinder nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
Mittels elektrischer Steckverbindungen werden neben Sensoren und Aktuatoren auch Steuergeräte kontaktiert. Fast alle Steuergeräte sind empfindlich gegenüber Überspannungen oder ungünstige Kontaktierreihenfolgen, weil dadurch elektronische Bauelemente im Inneren beschädigt werden können. Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, wurden bei einigen Steuergeräten verlängerte By means of electrical plug-in connections in addition to sensors and actuators and control devices are contacted. Almost all control units are sensitive to overvoltages or unfavorable contacting sequences, as this can damage electronic components inside. To remedy this, some controllers have been extended
Massepins eingeführt, um vorzeitig eine„Erdung" während des Steckvorgangs zu erreichen. Allerdings weisen diese bekannten verlängerten Massepins insbesondere folgende Nachteile auf: Grounding pins introduced to prematurely achieve a "grounding" during plugging in. However, these known extended ground pins have the following disadvantages in particular:
- Die Erstkontaktierung der verlängerten Massepins wird nicht über alle  - The Erstkontaktierung the extended Massepins will not over all

Although it works in numerous cases, but not always due to tolerances, since the Massepins are not long enough for this.
- Es sind am„male"-Stecker des Steuergeräts deutlich längere Pins  - There are significantly longer pins on the "male" connector of the controller

- Die verlängerten Massepins sind bezüglich ihrer Position fest definiert. Bei einer anderen Steuergerätebeschaltung ist eine neue Schnittstelle mit den verlängerten Massepins an einer anderen Stelle erforderlich und zu definieren. Demgegenüber besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, bei einem elektrischen Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art eine alternative Ausführungsform für die voreilende Kontaktierung eines Kontaktstifts des Gegensteckers anzugeben. - The extended ground pins are firmly defined with respect to their position. In another ECU circuit, a new interface with the extended ground pins at another location is required and defined. In contrast, the object of the invention is to provide an alternative embodiment for the leading contact of a contact pin of the mating connector in an electrical connector of the type mentioned.

Insertion openings 7 in the form of insertion funnels, through which the contact pins 2 of the mating connector 3 can be inserted into the connector housing 4 to contact the contacts 5.
Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist einem der Kontakte 5 eine separate metallische Kontaktklemme 10 vorgeordnet, die in die dem Kontakt 5 In the embodiment shown, one of the contacts 5 is preceded by a separate metallic contact terminal 10, which in the contact 5
vorgeordnete Einführöffnung 7a eingesteckt und darin verrastet bzw. eingeclipst ist. Die eingeclipste Kontaktklemme 10 liegt an dem zugehörigen Kontakt 5 elektrisch leitend an und ist zum Durchstecken des Kontaktstifts 2 ausgebildet. Wie in Fign. 2a-2c gezeigt, weist die Kontaktklemme 10 einen viereckigen Mittelabschnitt 11 auf, der eine viereckige Stecköffnung 12 für den im upstream insertion opening 7a is inserted and locked therein or clipped. The clip-in contact terminal 10 is electrically connected to the associated contact 5 and is designed for the insertion of the contact pin 2. As shown in Figs. 2a-2c, the contact terminal 10 has a quadrangular central portion 11, which has a square plug-in opening 12 for the in

Die Rastarme 10b und die Kontaktarme 10c sind auf jeweils unterschiedlichen Seiten der Stecköffnung 12 vorgesehen. Die Kontaktklemme 10 wird mit ihren nach innen federnd ausgelenkten Rastarmen 10b und mit den Kontaktarmen 10c voran in die Einführöffnung 7a bis in ihre verrastete Position eingesteckt bzw. eingeclipst, in der die Anlagearme 10a vorderseitig und die Rastarme 10b rückseitig an der Gehäusevorderwand 6 anliegen und die Kontaktarme 10c zu beiden Seiten am Kontakt 5 elektrisch leitend anliegen. Die Kontaktklemme 10 kann beispielsweise einstückig aus einem Blechteil gebogen sein. opposite, outwardly angled locking arms 10b and two with respect to the insertion opening 12 opposite each other, extending rearwardly contact arms 10c. The latching arms 10b and the contact arms 10c are provided on respective different sides of the plug-in opening 12. The contact terminal 10 is inserted with its inwardly resiliently deflected locking arms 10b and 10c with the contact arms ahead in the insertion opening 7a into its latched position or clipped, in which the contact arms 10a front and the latching arms 10b back against the housing front wall 6 and the Contact arms 10c on both sides of the contact 5 electrically conductive. The contact terminal 10 may for example be integrally bent from a sheet metal part.
Werden der Steckverbinder 1 und der Gegenstecker 3 ineinander gesteckt, so kontaktiert derjenige Kontaktstift 2a des Gegensteckers 3, der in die mit der Kontaktklemme 10 versehene Einführöffnung 7a eingeführt wird, über die Kontaktklemme 10 seinen zugehörigen Kontakt 5 immer sicher vor allen anderen Kontaktstiften 2, deren Einführöffnungen 7 nicht mit einer Kontaktklemme versehen sind. Der Kontaktstift 2a wird im Steckverbinder 1 somit gegenüber den anderen Kontaktstiften 2 voreilend kontaktiert. If the connector 1 and the mating connector 3 inserted into each other, so contacted the one contact pin 2a of the mating connector 3, which is inserted into the contact terminal 10 provided with the insertion opening 7a, via the contact terminal 10 its associated contact 5 always safe from all other pins 2 whose Einführöffnungen 7 not with a Contact terminal are provided. The contact pin 2a is thus contacted in the connector 1 with respect to the other pins 2 leading.
Abhängig von der gewünschten Position und Anzahl der Vorkontaktierungen können eine oder mehrere zusätzliche Kontaktklemmen 10 den jeweiligen Kontakten 5 des Steckverbinders 1 vorgeordnet werden, so dass jede Art der elektrischen Beschaltung (Pin-Belegung) ermöglicht wird. Für unterschiedliche Ausführungen können so immer die gleichen Steckverbinder 1 und Depending on the desired position and number of Vorkontaktierungen one or more additional contact terminals 10 may be upstream of the respective contacts 5 of the connector 1, so that any type of electrical wiring (pin assignment) is possible. For different versions so always the same connector 1 and
Gegenstecker 3 verwendet werden. Mating connector 3 can be used.
