Definitions

  • the invention refers to a connector according to claim 1.
  • EP 1624537 B1 describes a connector with a predetermined position of a plug opening that is used for connecting the connector to a correspondent electrical contact. If a cable has a larger cross-sectional area and therefore a higher stiffness, it will be difficult to move the cable according to a predetermined position of the contact.
  • EP 0 087 267 A1 discloses an electrical high-voltage connector and connection assembly.
  • the electrical connector is suitable for use with voltages of 3.3kv and over and comprises a housing moulded from insulating material and defining a body section and a stem projecting therefrom.
  • a tapered socket opens into the body section from one end thereof and is designed to receive a bushing or plug.
  • a conductive terminal is moulded in situ in the housing and has a part exposed at the inner end of the socket to make electrical contact with the plug.
  • the terminal having an exposed part lying between and separating the inner ends of the socket and of the auxiliary socket.
  • Nexans "Medium voltage symmetrical separable connectors - Interface C", Catalogue, August 2011 (2011-08), pages 1 to 21 , discloses a connector with a housing with a plug opening for receiving an electrical plug with a cable opening for receiving a terminal of a conductor of a cable, wherein a middle axis of the plug opening and a middle axis of the cable opening are disposed in a predetermined angle, wherein the cable opening leads into a chamber, wherein the plug opening passes over via an opening face in the chamber, wherein the chamber is arranged along a longitudinal axis of the cable opening, wherein the chamber extends opposite to the cable opening in the longitudinal axis of the cable opening or with the opening face providing a space beside the opening face for receiving a front part of the terminal wherein the chamber extends opposite to the cable opening and the longitudinal axis of the cable opening over the opening face.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cable connector with a simple design that simplifies an adjustment of the position of the plug opening relative to the cable for receiving an electrical plug.
  • the object of the invention is solved by the connector according to claim 1.
  • the connector according to claim 1 has the advantage that the plug opening can be moved relative to the cable. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the position of the housing to the position of a contact without the need to lift or flex the cable in larger amounts.
  • a chamber within the housing of the connector that is provided for receiving the terminal of a conductor of the cable, whereby the chamber extends opposite to the cable opening and the longitudinal axis of the cable opening over an opening face between the plug opening and the chamber providing space beside the opening face for receiving a front part of the terminal.

  • the terminal is provided for connecting an electrical plug in different positions of the housing.
  • a terminal that comprises a hole for fixing an electrical contact, whereby the hole is embodied such that different fixing positions of the electric contact along the terminal are possible.
  • a simple embodiment may be a long hole. However, also a series of holes can be arranged in the terminal. The long hole has the advantage that the position of the housing can be used without depending on the predetermined positions as it is the case using several holes in a terminal plate.
  • the proposed connector allows a simple adjustment of the position of the plug opening of the housing relative to the cable to receive an electrical plug or a second connector without the need to move the cable.
  • a simple terminal that can be used for connecting an electrical plug or a second connector in different positions of the housing.
