Due to the continuous increase in the transmission speeds, the requirements for the plug are always higher. Decisive for a higher transmission speed are the most homogeneous characteristic impedance of the plug and a defined, low crosstalk between the individual wires. It is crucial that these properties are maintained consistently even in large series.
- plugs for a data and / or telecommunication cable having a plurality of cores with a plug housing and a wire guide element are known, wherein the wire guide element has receptacles for the wires and can be inserted into the plug housing and in the plug housing contacts are arranged for electrically conductive connection to the wires.
- the US 2012/0094525 A1 discloses a connector for a data and / or telecommunication cable with a connector housing and a wire guide element, wherein the wire guide element in a first portion through openings for the wires, which are arranged parallel to each other, but in at least two different planes. The insertion of the wires is time consuming. In the following area of the wire guide element no defined arrangement of the wires is given, which can lead to a deterioration of the transmission properties.
- the EP 198 88 611 B1 discloses a connector for data and / or telecommunications cable with a wire guide element, in which the wires are arranged in a first section in a plane and substantially parallel to each other, and guided in a subsequent second section in a defined manner to each other through channels are.
- the wire guide element is formed in one piece and each wire must be inserted individually into a corresponding channel, which is time consuming.
- the WO 2012/177486 A2 discloses a wire guide element for a connector for data and / or telecommunications cable having a plurality of receiving channels in different planes in order to achieve a defined arrangement of the wires relative to each other. Even with this wire guide element, the wires must be individually inserted into the channels, which is time consuming.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a plug for a plurality of wires exhibiting data and / or telecommunication cable with a plug housing and a wire guide element, by means of which an easy to manufacture and reproducible position of the wires is achieved relative to each other in the plug, in particular a to generate defined, as low as possible crosstalk.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for connecting a cable with a plug, which makes it possible to achieve a defined position of the wires relative to each other in a simple, reproducible manner.
- the object is achieved by a connector for a plurality of cores exhibiting data and / or telecommunications cable having the features of claim 1 and a method for connecting a cable to a plug with the features of claim 14th
- the wires are arranged in at least two different levels.
- One of these planes may coincide with the plane in which the wires are arranged in the first section.
- this is not mandatory. Due to the inventive design of the wire guide element, it is possible that on the one hand the wires can be easily inserted into the wire guide element, since only the free ends of the wires must be aligned parallel to each other in a plane, which is easy to do by hand , then the free ends can all be introduced together into the first section transfer element and the defined relative orientation of the wires in a second section to each other automatically when joining the first and the second element is achieved without the user inserted the wires individually in different recordings Need to become. This means a high time savings in the installation of the cable to the plug.
- the first element and the second element are 29enkbar around a pivot axis against each other.
- the relative alignment between the first element and the second element in a spatial direction is already fixed and the assembly of the first element and the second element is simplified.
- a preferred embodiment provides that one of the elements has a recess into which a tab of the other of the elements is insertable. Such a construction allows easy assembly of the wire guide element of two elements.
- the tab is pivotally mounted on the other of the elements, whereby, after assembly of the wire guide element of two elements, it is further made possible to convert the wires in the second section in different planes only when joining the two elements.
- the tab is arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the other of the elements. This allows that after assembly of the wire guide element by inserting the tab into the recess, the element on which the tab is arranged, not yet joined to the other element, but is open, so that the wires in a simple manner in the vein guiding element can be introduced before the two elements are joined together. Furthermore, this makes it possible that the assembly of the two parts can be carried out only after the insertion of the veins in a particularly simple manner.
- the receptacles are arranged as one or more through-holes in one of the two elements. This makes it possible, in particular, that the wires can not slip out of the receptacles in the first section transversely to the longitudinal direction of the receptacles and thus a reproducible position of the wires, which can be produced in a simple manner, relative to each other, is made possible.
- the first element and the second element are integrally connected to each other, for example by means of a film hinge. This reduces the number of components.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the first element and the second element after assembly by means of a latching connection can be latched together to reliably fix the wires in the wire guide element and to prevent accidental opening of the wire guide element.
- the first and the second element have a third section, in which a substantially cylindrical inner space is formed by the first and the second element.
- this section usually ends the sheath of the data and / or telecommunications cable, which thus can be guided into the connector housing and reliably within the plug, in particular within the core guide element, fixable.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the first element and / or the second element have on its inside, in particular in the third section, one or more elevations, for example in the form of pyramids, cones, points or teeth.
- Such bumps dig or drill when joining the first and second elements in the jacket of the data and / or telecommunications cable to oppose in this way a train on the data and / or telecommunications cable high resistance.
- a cable grommet made of elastic material for strain relief and / or as kink protection is arranged on the wire guide element.
- a groove is arranged on the wire guide element or the cable grommet, in which engages a arranged on the cable grommet or the wire guide element collar.
- the cable grommet has a detent lever protection, which engages over a free end of a latching lever arranged on the plug housing.
- the inventive method for connecting a cable with a plug has the following steps: Starting from a free end of the cable is removed over a defined length of the cable sheath.
- the free ends of the wires are arranged in a plane parallel to each other, which can be done for example by compressing two fingers of a user's hand in a simple manner.
- the free ends of the wires are inserted into a first portion of a wire guide member of the plug having a first member and a second member, and wherein the wires in the first portion are arranged in a plane parallel to each other. It is particularly possible to introduce all the free ends of the wires at the same time, since the wires are arranged in the first section in a plane and parallel to each other.
- the first element and the second element of the wire guide element are joined together, wherein the wires are transferred in a second portion of the wire guide element in two different levels. Subsequently, the wire guide element is inserted into the connector housing.
- This method saves a lot of time over conventional methods for connecting a cable to a plug since all the free ends of the wires are simultaneously inserted into the wire-guiding element and it is no longer necessary to introduce individual wires one after the other into individual recordings.
- the defined relative arrangement of the wires to each other in the second section is produced almost automatically by joining the first element and the second element, without the user having to continue to work.
- the contacts are pressed into the wires in order to produce the electrically conductive connection between the contacts and the wires.
- the contacts are particularly preferably designed as piercing contacts.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the subsequent end of the cable is inserted as far into the wire guide element until the cable sheath strikes a stop on the wire guide element and then the contact side protruding from the wire guide element cores are cut off. This ensures that the insulation of the cable protrudes into the connector housing and all wires completely traverse the wire guide element.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Stecker für ein mehrere Adern aufweisendes Daten- und/oder Telekommunikations-Kabel mit einem Steckergehäuse und einem Aderführungselement, welches Aufnahme für die Adern aufweist und welches in das Steckergehäuse einsetzbar ist, wobei in dem Steckergehäuse Kontakte zum elektrisch leitenden Anschluss an die Adern angeordnet sind, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Aderführungselement ein erstes und ein zweites Element aufweist, dass die Aufnahmen für die Adern in den dem Adernführungselement in einem ersten Abschnitt in einer Ebene und im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufend angeordnet sind und dass in einem zweiten Abschnitt eines der Elemente wenigstens einen Vorsprung und das andere der Elemente wenigstens eine Ausnehmung aufweist, wobei der Vorsprung und die Ausnehmung derart relativ zueinander angeordnet sind, dass bei Zusammenfügen des ersten und des zweiten Elements die Adern in dem zweiten Abschnitt in wenigstens zwei verschiedene Ebenen überführbar sind, d. h. insbesondere, dass wenigstens eine der Adern in einer Ebene angeordnet ist und wenigstens eine andere Ader in einer von dieser Ebene verschiedene Ebene, welche insbesondere parallel zu der ersten Ebene angeordnet ist, zu liegen kommt. So sind nach dem Zusammenfügen die Adern in wenigstens zwei verschiedenen Ebenen angeordnet. Eine dieser Ebenen kann mit der Ebene, in welcher die Adern im ersten Abschnitt angeordnet sind, zusammenfallen. Dies ist jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Aderführungselements wird es ermöglicht, dass einerseits die Adern auf einfache Art und Weise in das Aderführungselement eingeführt werden können, da lediglich die freien Enden der Adern parallel zueinander verlaufend in einer Ebene ausgerichtet werden müssen, was von Hand einfach zu bewerkstelligen ist, anschließend die freien Enden sämtlich gemeinsam in den ersten Abschnitt Überführungselements eingeführt werden können und die definierte relative Ausrichtung der Adern in einem zweiten Abschnitt zueinander automatisch bei Zusammenfügen des ersten und des zweiten Elements erreicht wird, ohne dass vom Benutzer die Adern einzeln in verschiedene Aufnahmen eingelegt werden müssen. Die bedeutet eine hohe Zeitersparnis bei der Montage des Kabels an dem Stecker.The plug according to the invention for a plurality of wires having data and / or telecommunications cable with a plug housing and a wire guide element, which has receptacle for the wires and which is insertable into the plug housing, wherein arranged in the plug housing contacts for electrically conductive connection to the wires are characterized in that the core guiding element has a first and a second element, that the receptacles for the wires are arranged in the wire guide element in a first section in a plane and substantially parallel to each other and that in a second section of a the elements have at least one projection and the other of the elements at least one recess, wherein the projection and the recess are arranged relative to each other such that when joining the first and the second element, the wires in the second section in at least two different planes can be converted, ie in particular that at least one of the wires is arranged in a plane and at least one other vein comes to lie in a plane other than this plane, which is arranged in particular parallel to the first plane. Thus, after joining the wires are arranged in at least two different levels. One of these planes may coincide with the plane in which the wires are arranged in the first section. However, this is not mandatory. Due to the inventive design of the wire guide element, it is possible that on the one hand the wires can be easily inserted into the wire guide element, since only the free ends of the wires must be aligned parallel to each other in a plane, which is easy to do by hand , then the free ends can all be introduced together into the first section transfer element and the defined relative orientation of the wires in a second section to each other automatically when joining the first and the second element is achieved without the user inserted the wires individually in different recordings Need to become. This means a high time savings in the installation of the cable to the plug.
Vorteilhafterweise sind das erste Element und das zweite Element um eine Schwenkachse gegeneinander verschenkbar. Dadurch wird die relative Ausrichtung zwischen dem ersten Element und dem zweiten Element in einer Raumrichtung bereits festgelegt und das Zusammenfügen des ersten Elements und des zweiten Elements vereinfacht.Advantageously, the first element and the second element are verschenkbar around a pivot axis against each other. Thereby, the relative alignment between the first element and the second element in a spatial direction is already fixed and the assembly of the first element and the second element is simplified.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass eines der Elemente eine Ausnehmung aufweist, in welche eine Lasche des anderen der Elemente einführbar ist. Eine derartige Konstruktion ermöglicht einen einfachen Zusammenbau des Aderführungselements aus zwei Elementen.A preferred embodiment provides that one of the elements has a recess into which a tab of the other of the elements is insertable. Such a construction allows easy assembly of the wire guide element of two elements.
Besonders bevorzugt ist die Lasche schwenkbar an dem anderen der Elemente angeordnet, wodurch nach Zusammenbau des Aderführungselements aus zwei Elementen es weiterhin ermöglicht wird, erst bei Zusammenfügen der beiden Elemente die Adern in dem zweiten Abschnitt in verschiedenen Ebenen zu überführen.Particularly preferably, the tab is pivotally mounted on the other of the elements, whereby, after assembly of the wire guide element of two elements, it is further made possible to convert the wires in the second section in different planes only when joining the two elements.
Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Lasche in einem Winkel zur Längsachse des anderen der Elemente angeordnet. Dies ermöglicht, dass nach Zusammenbau des Aderführungselements durch Einführen der Lasche in die Ausnehmung das Element, an welchem die Lasche angeordnet ist, noch nicht mit dem anderen Element zusammengefügt ist, sondern offen steht, so dass die Adern auf einfache Art und Weise in das Aderführungselement eingeführt werden können, bevor die beiden Elemente zusammengefügt werden. Weiterhin ermöglicht dies, dass der Zusammenbau der beiden Teile erst nach dem Einführen der adern in besonders einfacher Weise erfolgen kann.According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the tab is arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the other of the elements. This allows that after assembly of the wire guide element by inserting the tab into the recess, the element on which the tab is arranged, not yet joined to the other element, but is open, so that the wires in a simple manner in the vein guiding element can be introduced before the two elements are joined together. Furthermore, this makes it possible that the assembly of the two parts can be carried out only after the insertion of the veins in a particularly simple manner.
Vorzugsweise sind in dem ersten Abschnitt die Aufnahmen als eine oder mehrere Durchgangsbohrungen in einem der beiden Elemente angeordnet. Dadurch wird insbesondere ermöglicht, dass die Adern aus den Aufnahmen in dem ersten Abschnitt nicht quer zur Längsrichtung der Aufnahmen herausrutschen können und somit eine auf einfache Art und Weise herzustellende, reproduzierbare Lage der Adern relativ zueinander ermöglicht wird.Preferably, in the first section, the receptacles are arranged as one or more through-holes in one of the two elements. This makes it possible, in particular, that the wires can not slip out of the receptacles in the first section transversely to the longitudinal direction of the receptacles and thus a reproducible position of the wires, which can be produced in a simple manner, relative to each other, is made possible.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind das erste Element und das zweite Element einstückig miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise mittels eines Filmscharniers. Dadurch wird die Zahl der Komponenten verringert.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first element and the second element are integrally connected to each other, for example by means of a film hinge. This reduces the number of components.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das erste Element und das zweite Element nach dem Zusammenfügen mittels einer Rastverbindung miteinander verrastbar sind, um die Adern in dem Aderführungselement zuverlässig fixieren und ein versehentliches Öffnen des Aderführungselements verhindern zu können.A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the first element and the second element after assembly by means of a latching connection can be latched together to reliably fix the wires in the wire guide element and to prevent accidental opening of the wire guide element.
Vorteilhafterweise weisen das erste und das zweite Element einen dritten Abschnitt auf, in welchem ein im Wesentlichen zylindrischer Innenraum durch das ersten und das zweite Element gebildet ist. In diesem Abschnitt endet üblicherweise die Ummantelung des Daten- und/oder Telekommunikations-Kabels, welcher somit in das Steckergehäuse hineinführbar und zuverlässig innerhalb des Steckers, insbesondere innerhalb des Aderführungselements, fixierbar ist.Advantageously, the first and the second element have a third section, in which a substantially cylindrical inner space is formed by the first and the second element. In this section usually ends the sheath of the data and / or telecommunications cable, which thus can be guided into the connector housing and reliably within the plug, in particular within the core guide element, fixable.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das erste Element und/oder das zweite Element auf seiner Innenseite, insbesondere in dem dritten Abschnitt, eine oder mehrere Erhebungen, beispielsweise in Form von Pyramiden, Kegeln, Spitzen oder Zähnen, aufweisen. Derartige Erhebungen graben oder bohren sich beim Zusammenfügen des ersten und des zweiten Elements in den Mantel des Daten- und/oder Telekommunikations-Kabels um auf diese Weise einem Zug an dem Daten- und/oder Telekommunikations-Kabel einen hohen Widerstand entgegensetzen.A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the first element and / or the second element have on its inside, in particular in the third section, one or more elevations, for example in the form of pyramids, cones, points or teeth. Such bumps dig or drill when joining the first and second elements in the jacket of the data and / or telecommunications cable to oppose in this way a train on the data and / or telecommunications cable high resistance.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist an dem Aderführungselement eine Kabeltülle aus elastischem Material zur Zugentlastung und/oder als Knickschutz angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist an dem Aderführungselement oder der Kabeltülle eine Nut angeordnet, in welcher ein an der Kabeltülle oder dem Aderführungselement angeordneter Kragen eingreift. Auf diese Art und Weise kann in konstruktiv einfacher Ausgestaltung eine Fixierung in axialer Richtung der Kabeltülle erreicht werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a cable grommet made of elastic material for strain relief and / or as kink protection is arranged on the wire guide element. Preferably, a groove is arranged on the wire guide element or the cable grommet, in which engages a arranged on the cable grommet or the wire guide element collar. In this way, a fixation in the axial direction of the cable grommet can be achieved in a structurally simple embodiment.
Vorteilhafterweise weist die Kabeltülle einen Rasthebelschutz auf, welcher ein freies Ende eines an dem Steckergehäuse angeordneten Rasthebels übergreift.Advantageously, the cable grommet has a detent lever protection, which engages over a free end of a latching lever arranged on the plug housing.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Verbindung eines Kabels mit einem Stecker weist die folgenden Schritte auf: Ausgehend von einem freien Ende des Kabels wird über eine definierte Länge der Kabelmantel entfernt. Die freien Enden der Adern werden in einer Ebene parallel zueinander angeordnet, was beispielsweise durch Zusammenpressen zweier Finger der Hand eines Benutzers in einfacher Art und Weise geschehen kann. Die freien Enden der Adern werden in einen ersten Abschnitt eines Aderführungselements des Steckers, welches ein erstes Element und ein zweites Element aufweist und wobei die Adern in dem ersten Abschnitt in einer Ebene parallel zueinander angeordnet sind, eingeführt. Dabei ist es insbesondere möglich, sämtliche freien Enden der Adern gleichzeitig einzuführen, da die Adern in dem ersten Abschnitt in einer Ebene und parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Das erste Element und das zweite Element des Aderführungselements werden zusammengefügt, wobei die Adern in einem zweiten Abschnitt des Aderführungselements in zwei verschiedene Ebenen überführt werden. Anschließend wird das Aderführungselement in das Steckergehäuse eingesetzt. Dieses Verfahren spart gegenüber herkömmlichen Verfahren zur Verbindung eines Kabels mit einem Stecker viel Zeit, da sämtliche freien Enden der Adern gleichzeitig in das Aderführungselement eingeführt werden können und es nicht mehr notwendig ist, einzelne Adern nacheinander in einzelne Aufnahmen einzuführen. Zudem wird die definierte relative Anordnung der Adern zueinander in dem zweiten Abschnitt quasi automatisch durch Zusammenfügen des ersten Elements und des zweiten Elements hergestellt, ohne dass der Benutzer dazu weiter tätig sein muss.The inventive method for connecting a cable with a plug has the following steps: Starting from a free end of the cable is removed over a defined length of the cable sheath. The free ends of the wires are arranged in a plane parallel to each other, which can be done for example by compressing two fingers of a user's hand in a simple manner. The free ends of the wires are inserted into a first portion of a wire guide member of the plug having a first member and a second member, and wherein the wires in the first portion are arranged in a plane parallel to each other. It is particularly possible to introduce all the free ends of the wires at the same time, since the wires are arranged in the first section in a plane and parallel to each other. The first element and the second element of the wire guide element are joined together, wherein the wires are transferred in a second portion of the wire guide element in two different levels. Subsequently, the wire guide element is inserted into the connector housing. This method saves a lot of time over conventional methods for connecting a cable to a plug since all the free ends of the wires are simultaneously inserted into the wire-guiding element and it is no longer necessary to introduce individual wires one after the other into individual recordings. In addition, the defined relative arrangement of the wires to each other in the second section is produced almost automatically by joining the first element and the second element, without the user having to continue to work.
Vorzugsweise werden nach dem Einsetzen des Aderführungselements in das Steckergehäuse die Kontakte in die Adern eingedrückt, um die elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den Kontakten und den Adern herzustellen. Dazu sind besonders bevorzugt die Kontakte als Piercing-Kontakte ausgebildet.Preferably, after insertion of the wire guiding element into the plug housing, the contacts are pressed into the wires in order to produce the electrically conductive connection between the contacts and the wires. For this purpose, the contacts are particularly preferably designed as piercing contacts.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das anschließende Ende des Kabels soweit in das Aderführungselement eingeschoben wird, bis der Kabelmantel an einen Anschlag an dem Aderführungselement anschlägt und anschließend die kontaktseitig aus dem Aderführungselement herausragenden Adern abgeschnitten werden. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass die Isolierung des Kabels bis in das Steckergehäuse hineinragt und sämtliche Adern das Aderführungselement vollständig durchqueren.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the subsequent end of the cable is inserted as far into the wire guide element until the cable sheath strikes a stop on the wire guide element and then the contact side protruding from the wire guide element cores are cut off. This ensures that the insulation of the cable protrudes into the connector housing and all wires completely traverse the wire guide element.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird vor dem Entfernen des Kabelmantels eine Kabeltülle auf das Kabel geschoben, welche vor dem Zusammenfügen des ersten Elements und des zweiten Elements des Aderführungselements (30) so weit zum Aderführungselement geschoben wird, dass bei dem Zusammenfügen des ersten Elements und des zweiten Elements das erste Element und das zweite Element die Kabeltülle umfassen, um auf diese Weise eine Fixierung der Kabeltülle zu ermöglichen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a cable grommet is pushed onto the cable before removing the cable sheath, which is pushed so far before joining the first element and the second element of the wire guide element (30) to the wire guide element that in the assembly of the first element and the second element, the first element and the second element comprise the cable grommet, to allow in this way a fixation of the cable grommet.

Das Aderführungselement 30 weist ein erstes Element 31 und ein zweites Element 32 auf, welche nach Einführen der Adern 51 zusammengeführt werden können. Bei Zusammenführen des ersten Elementes 31 und des zweiten Elementes 32 können die Adern 51 insbesondere in dem Aderführungselement 30 verklemmt werden.The
In einer Ausführungsform sind das erste Element 31 und das zweite Element 32 um eine Schwenkachse A gegeneinander verschwenkbar angeordnet (vgl.
Nach Verschwenken des ersten Elementes 31 gegen das zweite Element 32 können die beiden Elemente 31, 32 mittels einer Rastverbindung miteinander verrasten. Dazu ist beispielsweise an dem ersten Element 31 eine Rastnase 31b angeordnet, welche in eine entsprechende Rastöffnung 32b, die an dem zweiten Element 32 angeordnet ist, eingreift.After pivoting the
Das Aderführungselement 30 weist einen ersten Abschnitt 30a, in welchem die Adern 51 in einer Ebene und im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufend angeordnet sind, einen zweiten Abschnitt 30b, in welchem die Adern 51 in wenigstens zwei verschiedenen Ebenen und im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufend angeordnet sind, und einen dritten Abschnitt 30c auf, in welchem die Adern 51 aus der Anordnung des zweiten Abschnittes 30b in die paarweise miteinander verdrillte Anordnung in dem Kabel 50 überführt werden.The
In dem ersten Abschnitt 30a des Aderführungselements 30 weist das zweite Element 32 eine oder mehrere als Durchgangsöffnungen 32c ausgebildete Aufnahmen für die Adern 51 auf. Es ist möglich, mehrere, insbesondere für jede der Adern 51 eine, Durchgangsöffnungen 32c vorzusehen. Die Aufnahmen sind derart ausgestaltet, dass die in ihnen angeordneten Adern 51 in dem ersten Abschnitt 30a sämtlich in einer Ebene angeordnet und parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Aufgrund des oft nur kleinen Bauraumes liegen in der Regel die Durchgangsöffnungen 32c für die verschiedenen Adern 51 derart nahe beieinander, dass die Trennwände zwischen den einzelnen Durchgangsöffnungen entfallen und die Durchgangsöffnungen für die verschiedenen Adern 51 zu einer Durchgangsöffnung 32c verschmelzen, welche jedoch vorzugsweise in der Ober- und Unterseite Längsnuten zur Aufnahme der Adern 51 aufweist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Durchgangsöffnung 32c ist eine definierte, relative Anordnung der Adern 51 zueinander in dem ersten Abschnitt 30a auf kleinem Raum möglich.In the
In dem ersten Abschnitt 30a erfolgt insbesondere die elektrische Kontaktierung der Adern 51. Dazu sind quer zur Längsrichtung der Adern 51 Schlitze 32i angeordnet, insbesondere in einer der Zahl der Adern 51 entsprechenden Anzahl. Die Schlitze 51 sind in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ausgehend von der Außenfläche des zweiten Elements 32 bis zu der einen oder den mehreren Durchgangsöffnungen 32c angeordnet.In particular, the electrical contacting of the
Die Aufnahme 32a des zweiten Elementes 32 ist in einer Ausführungsform im ersten Abschnitt 30a an dem zweiten Element 32 angeordnet.The
Werden die freien Enden der Adern 51 des Kabels 50 in das Aderführungselement 30 eingeführt, werden die freigelegten Adern 51 zunächst per Hand parallel zueinander in einer Ebene ausgerichtet und anschließend mit ihren freien Enden in die Durchgangsöffnung 32c des zweiten Elementes 32 eingeführt, wie in
In dem zweiten Abschnitt 30b weist eines der Elemente 31, 32 wenigstens einen Vorsprung 31f, 32f und das andere der Elemente 32, 31 wenigstens eine Ausnehmung 32f, 31g auf, welche derart relativ zueinander angeordnet sind, dass bei Zusammenfügen des ersten Elementes 31 und des zweiten Elementes 32 die Adern 51 in dem zweiten Abschnitt 30b in wenigstens zwei verschiedene Ebenen überführbar sind. Wie in
In dem dritten Abschnitt 30c bilden das erste Element 31 und das zweite Element 32 einen im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Innenraum, in welchem die Adern 51 aus der Anordnung des zweiten Abschnittes 30b in die paarweise miteinander verdrillte Anordnung in dem Kabel 50 überführt werden können. Vorteilhafterweise endet in dem dritten Abschnitt 30c der Kabelmantel 52 des Kabels 50, so dass die Isolierung des Kabels 50 bis in den Stecker 10 hineingeführt ist. Auf der Innenseite des dritten Abschnittes 30c weisen das erste Element 31 und das zweite Element 32 mehrere Erhebungen 31e, 32e auf, welche in Form von Spitzen, Kegeln, Pyramiden oder Zähnen ausgeführt sein können, welche sich in den Kabelmantel 52 des Kabels 50 bei Zusammenführen der Elemente 31, 32 eingraben und diesen somit in axialer Richtung fixieren.In the
Die Kabeltülle 40 kann einen umlaufenden Kragen 41 aufweisen, welcher bei Zusammenfügen der Elemente 31, 32 in einer in den Elementen 31, 32 angeordneten Nut 31d, 32d zu liegen kommt. Dadurch wird eine Verbindung zwischen dem Aderführungselement 30 und der Kabeltülle 40 hergestellt, welche insbesondere eine Fixierung der Kabeltülle 40 in axialer Richtung ermöglicht. Vorteilhafterweise wird zum Anschließen des Kabels 50 an den Stecker 10 und insbesondere an das Aderführungselement 30 das Kabel 50 zunächst durch die Kabeltülle 40 geführt und anschließend die freien Enden der Adern 51 in dem Aderführungselement 30 angeordnet.The
Die Kabeltülle 40 weist in einer Ausführungsform einen Rasthebelschutz 42 auf, welcher einen an dem Steckergehäuse 20 angeordneten Rasthebel 24 übergreift und vor Beschädigungen schützt. Der Rasthebel 24 dient zum Verrasten des Steckers 10 in einer entsprechenden Buchse. Die Kabeltülle 40 ist vorzugsweise aus einem elastischen Material gefertigt.In one embodiment, the
Weiter weist die Kabeltülle 40 in einer Ausführungsform einen Knickschutz 43 auf, welcher als im Wesentlichen zylindrischer Abschnitt ausgebildet ist, der an dem Kabelmantel 52 des Kabels 50 anliegt und mehrere in Umfangsrichtung abschnittsweise verlaufende Schlitze 44 aufweist, die insbesondere ein Abknicken des Kabels 50 verhindern und lediglich ein Biegen des Kabels 50 im gewünschten Radius zulassen.Next, the
Nachdem die Adern in das Aderführungselement 30 eingeführt und die Elemente 31, 32 zusammengeführt wurden, wobei die Adern 51 in dem Aderführungselement 30 fixiert und die Kabeltülle 40 an dem Aderführungselement 30 fixiert wird, kann das Aderführungselement 30 in das Steckergehäuse 20 eingeführt werden. Das Aderführungselement 30 weist eine oder mehrere Rastnasen 39 auf, welche in an dem Steckergehäuse 20 angeordnete Rastöffnungen 29 eingreifen. Der erste Abschnitt 30a des Aderführungselementes 30 kommt dabei in einem kontaktseitigen Ende des Steckergehäuses 20 zu liegen, in welchem mehrere Öffnungen 22 angeordnet sind, in denen jeweils ein Kontakt 21, der beispielsweise als Piercing-Kontakt ausgebildet ist, angeordnet ist. Nach Einführen des Aderführungselementes 30 in das Steckergehäuse 20 können die Kontakte 21 durch die Öffnungen 22 gedrückt werden, um die in dem Aderführungselement 30 in dem ersten Abschnitt 30a angeordneten Adern 51 zu kontaktieren.After the wires are inserted into the
Das Steckergehäuse 20 weist in einer Ausführungsform einen Schirm 23 auf, der mit dem Kabelschirm 53 des Kabels 50 verbunden werden sollte. Dazu kontaktiert der zu einer Zunge gedrehte Kabelschirm 53 den Schirm 23 des Steckergehäuses 20. Dabei kontaktiert der Schirm 23 den Kabelschirm 53 des Kabels 50 beispielsweise über eine Öffnung in der Oberseite des Steckergehäuses 20. Der Schirm 23 kann mittels einer Rastöffnung 23b an dem Steckergehäuse 20, beispielsweise an einer Rastnase 29b, verrasten. Der Schirm 23 kann eine Schirmkontaktzunge 23a aufweisen, die bei Einstecken des Steckers 10 in eine entsprechende Buchse den in der Buchse angeordneten Schirm kontaktiert.The
Zur Montage des Steckers 10 wird zunächst die Kabeltülle 40 über das Kabel 50 geschoben. Ausgehend von dem freien Ende des Kabels 50 wird der Kabelmantel 52 über eine gewünschte Länge entfernt, ein eventuell vorhandener Kabelschirm 53 zu einer Zunge verdrillt und gekürzt und eine eventuell vorhandene Paarschirmung entfernt. Anschließend werden die Adern 51 in der gewünschten Reihenfolge sortiert und in einer Ebene angeordnet, beispielsweise durch Drücken zwischen zwei Fingern der Hand einer Person. Die so ausgerichteten Adern 51 werden in die Durchgangsöffnung 32c des zweiten Elementes 32 eingeführt, vorzugsweise so weit, bis der Kabelmantel 52 an einem Anschlag 32h des Aderführungselementes 30, der beispielsweise in dem Übergangsbereich zwischen dem zweiten Abschnitt 30b und dem dritten Abschnitt 30c des Aderführungselementes 30 angeordnet sein kann, anschlägt.
