Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector for electrical components in motor vehicles with a punching comb, which forms terminal contacts for a counterpart of the connector, a cable with insulated electrical connection lines, which are electrically connected to the punching comb, a first connector housing part made of hard plastic, to which the cable is attached and through which the punching comb protrudes and a second plug housing part made of a soft plastic, which immediately surrounds the individual lugs of the punching comb along an extension portion of the lugs.
- Such connectors are used in motor vehicles for the electrical connection of various electrical units, such as actuators for throttle valves or other valves and flaps, which are electrically adjusted, electric pumps or electrically operated position sensors.
- the connectors are on the one hand to be produced as inexpensively as possible, on the other hand, they must meet high demands in terms of their tightness and thermal resistance.
- the best possible tightness is especially desired along the connecting lines or the punching comb in the interior of the plug, since otherwise moisture could get in the direction of the electronic components, which leads to short circuits and errors in the electronics.
- a plug connector is proposed in DE 100 41 812 A1, in which initially a soft plastic surrounds a section of a punching comb for sealing.
- This soft plastic is in turn encapsulated by a harder plastic, which is at the same time formed so that the wall element is formed by the hard plastic, so it replicates the actual plug shape.
- the outer hard plastic presses on the inner soft plastic, whereby the sealing effect is to be improved.
- this connector should also be inexpensive to produce, have a small footprint, prevent kinking of the connection cable as possible and ensure a firm connection to the counterpart.
- the soft plastic is a thermoplastic elastomer or a silicone elastomer. Both materials have good sprayability and very good sealing effects.
- the second plug housing part surrounds the first plug housing part in a region in which the tabs project out of the plug connector and in a region in which the cable protrudes from the plug connector. This protects the hard plastic from damage in the area of the electrical cables. It is particularly advantageous if the second plug housing part extends beyond the first plug housing part along the cable. Thus, the effect of a grommet around the cable, whereby a kinking of the cable, which can lead to breakage of the connecting lines, is prevented.
- the first connector housing part protrudes from the second on both sides of the punching comb Plug housing part out, wherein the first connector housing part has contact surfaces which delimit the second connector housing part on both sides and perpendicular to the insertion direction extending plates, in each of which a through hole is formed, via which the connector on its counterpart by means of bolts inserted through the through hole detachably fastened bar is.
- the second housing part can be clamped in a simple manner with its stop surface against the counterpart, whereby the axial seal is ensured.
- the lateral abutment surfaces and the flange-shaped plate are connected to each other via ribs which are stretched between these two mutually perpendicular surfaces and thus avoid bending, especially in the axial direction as far as possible.
- the contact surface, against which a plug mating piece is pressed flat, so that when tightening the screws, a purely axial contact force is generated, which leads to a uniform deformation of the elastomer of the contact surface, whereby an additional tightness is achieved.
- the first connector housing part is formed in two parts, wherein a first part comprises the plates and encloses the cable from a first side and the second part abuts against the first part and the first connector housing part and encloses the cable from the opposite side, wherein a space in which the punching comb is connected to the connecting lines is limited by the two parts. So is the area of the connection of the Connecting lines to the punching comb by removing the first
- a connector for electrical components in motor vehicles which ensures an effective seal both between the electrical lines and along the electrical lines and on the contact surface between the connector and its counterpart and at the same time is inexpensive to produce. In addition, a long durability of the electrical connection is ensured.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective rear view of a first connector according to the invention in the not yet assembled state in three-dimensional representation.
- Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a connector according to the invention without a second connector housing part in three-dimensional representation.
- FIG. 3 shows the plug connector according to FIG. 2 with a second plug housing part in a three-dimensional representation.
- the connector according to the invention shown in Figure 1 is used for electrical connection of a six-core cable 2, which has six connecting lines 6 in its sheath 4, which are for example connected to a motor control unit, with a counterpart of the connector, which is electrically connected, for example, with the board of a throttle body ,
- the sheath 4 of the cable 2 consists of an insulating material, wherein from the sheath 4 which in turn each provided with an insulating sheath 8 metallic connecting lines 6 protrude, the ends 10 are not insulated.
- connection contacts 16 for a connector counterpart, not shown.
- the punching comb 14 and thus the six lugs 12 extend substantially perpendicular to the cable 2, which is strain-relieved by means of a ferrule 20 on a first connector housing part 18, which consists of a hard plastic.
- the insertion of the connector corresponds to the main extension direction of the punching comb 14th
- This first connector housing part 18 extends substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the punching comb 14 and thus parallel to the position of the cable 2.
- the lugs 12 of the punching comb 14 are encapsulated by a second connector housing part 32 with a soft plastic, so that the first, the terminal contacts 16 forming End on one side of the second Steckergeoph useteil 32 protrudes and the connected to the connecting lines 6 ends of the flags 12 on the other side of the second connector housing part 32 protrude.
- the second connector housing part consists of a plate-shaped portion 22, and a portion 38 which would be arranged in connection of the connector with a connector counterpart in this.
- the section 22 forms a contact surface 48 which faces in the insertion direction and according to the invention as a sealing plane to a
- Plug counterpart is used.
- this section 22 extend on both sides parallel to the lugs 12 of the punching comb 14 each contact surfaces 24 of a first part 44 of the first connector housing part 18. From these contact surfaces 24 extends in turn at right angles to the contact surfaces 24 at the level of the portion 22 at both Pages each have a plate 26 to the outside, in which a through hole 28 is formed.
- the plates 26 are connected via two ribs 30 with the contact surfaces 24.
- a second part 46 of the first connector housing part 18 abuts, which surrounds the first part 44, the cable and a space 34 in which the contact between the connecting lines 8 and the punching comb 14 is located.
- the region 38 which in this embodiment extends completely beyond the first plug housing part 18, has the shape of a wedge tapering in the insertion direction, in which all six lugs 12 of the punching comb 14 are surrounded over a defined length by the soft plastic. These two at an acute angle to each other surfaces protrude into the interior of a plug counterpart when connecting the connector.
- By screwing the first connector housing part 18 via the through holes 28 on the connector counterpart results in a deformation of the plate 22 and the contact surface 48, whereby an axially acting seal is generated.
- Figure 2 an alternative embodiment of a connector without the second connector housing part 32 is shown, wherein like reference numerals for the same components are used.
- the first Plug housing part 18 is a hard plastic part, which both fills the space 34 and the cable 2 and the punching comb 14 surrounds. As shown in Figure 3, the entire free area between the abutment surfaces 24 and the region 38, which extends in the mounted state in a connector counterpart, uniformly overmoulded with a soft plastic. It is important in particular that both the cable 2 in the area in which it protrudes from the connector and the punching comb 14 in the region 38 in which the flags protrude from the housing of the connector, are surrounded by plastic plastic directly. Also, the intermediate area is surrounded by soft plastic to provide the opposite soft plastic areas an effective grip on hard plastic.
- the encapsulation in the space 34 an unwanted release of the connections between the connecting lines and the punching comb 14 is reliably avoided.
- the region 36 extends beyond the first housing part along the cable 2 and thus acts in this area as a spout 40, through which a kinking of the cable is avoided.
- the region 38 protruding beyond the plates 26 in the insertion direction and adjoining the plate-shaped section 22 has an elongated shape, so that all six lugs 12 of the punching comb 14 are surrounded over a defined length of soft plastic.
- the vertical surface forms the contact surface 48 for a male connector and is disposed between the two plates 26.
- This contact surface 48 which extends perpendicularly to the plug-in direction, has an elastic design, so that a sealing deformation of this region occurs when it is connected to the plug counterpart. This prevents moisture from entering between the two connector parts.
- the deformation takes place in particular by screwing the first Plug housing part 18 via the through holes 28 on the connector counterpart, whereby bearing surface 48 acts as an axial seal.
- the elongate region 38 serves as a seal between the individual lugs 12.
- a cost-producible connector is provided, which is insensitive to moisture, since both in the axial direction in the connector connection via the elastic contact surface 48 and along the punching comb 14 is reliably sealed. Nevertheless, the connector has sufficient stability. Damage to the electrical connection is also avoided by the position of the cable and its connection.
