Description

Beschreibungdescription

Halterahmen mit separaten Steck-Modulen für einen Systemsteckverbinder mit wenigstens einem solchen Halterahmen und einem weiteren Halterahmen, und einem Steckergehäuse.Holding frame with separate plug-in modules for a system connector with at least one such holding frame and another holding frame, and a plug housing.

Eine derartiger Halterahmen mit Steck-Modulen wurde in Hinblick auf die Vereinfachung seiner Montage konzipiert, und um Steckverbindungen mit Steck-Modulen in einem Gehäuse den Anforderungen für eine Industrieumgebung auszubilden.Such a holding frame with plug-in modules was designed with a view to simplifying its assembly, and to form plug-in connections with plug-in modules in a housing to meet the requirements for an industrial environment.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der EP 0 860 906 B1 ist ein Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule zum Einbau in Steckverbindergehäuse bekannt, der einen Montagerahmen aus gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Hälften aufweist, in die Steckverbindermodule einsetzbar sind.
Weiterhin ist aus der US 7,316,591 B2 ein kunststoffgefertigter Halterahmen bekannt, bei dem mehrere nebeneinander anzuordnende Steckermodule zwischen durch Schlitze getrennte Wandsegmente gehalten werden.From the EP 0 860 906 B1 a holding frame for connector modules for installation in connector housings is known, which frame has a mounting frame made of halves that are hinged to one another and into which connector modules can be inserted.
Furthermore, from the US 7,316,591 B2 a plastic-manufactured holding frame is known in which several connector modules to be arranged side by side are held between wall segments separated by slots.

GB1542971 offenbart ein Halterahmen mit separaten Steck-Modulen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. GB1542971 discloses a holding frame with separate plug-in modules according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine gewisse Nachteiligkeit derartiger bekannter Halterahmen liegt darin, dass diese stets in ein weiteres Gehäuse einzusetzen und dort zu verschrauben sind. Wobei zusätzlich auf die Stromlaufrichtung und damit auf die P210-04 EP.docA certain disadvantage of such known holding frames is that they always have to be inserted into another housing and screwed there. Whereby also on the current flow direction and thus on the P210-04 EP.doc

Montagerichtung der in den Steck-Modulen einzusetzenden Kontakte zu achten ist, und dass stets eine vorgegebene Einbaurichtung von Halterahmen zum Steckergehäuse vorgegeben war.It is important to pay attention to the installation direction of the contacts to be inserted in the plug-in modules, and that a given installation direction from the holding frame to the connector housing was always given.

AufgabenstellungTask

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Halterahmen mit Steck-Modulen auszubilden, welche ohne separate Befestigungsmittel auskommt und eine Montage von kontaktbestückten Modulen von der Steckseite wie auch von der Anschlussseite des jeweiligen Steckerteiles ermöglicht, wobei auch die Stromlaufrichtung prinzipiell unabhängig von der Kontaktausbildung ist..The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a holding frame with plug-in modules that does not require separate fastening means and enables the assembly of contact-equipped modules from the plug-in side as well as from the connection side of the respective plug part, with the current flow direction being in principle independent of the contact formation ..

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Halterahmen mit Steck-Modulen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a holding frame with plug-in modules according to claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Da die Ausrichtung der Steck-Module innerhalb einer Steckverbindung im Steckeinsatz und im Halterahmen spiegelbildlich vorzusehen ist, ist jeder Steckeinsatz so konzipiert, dass die Steck-Module lediglich in Steckrichtung gedreht in die Rechteckausnehmungen einsetzbar sind.
Weiterhin ist von Vorteil, dass die Steck-Module auch von beiden Seiten in jeden der Halterahmen einfügbar sind - also von der eigentlichen Steckseite mit dem Gegenstecker wie auch von der Kabelanschlussseite.
Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Steckeinsatzes liegt darin, dass er auch Vorrichtungen aufweist, um einen PE-Anbindung werkzeuglos auf einfachste Art und Weise - also die Übergabe einer Schutzleitung - ordnungsgemäß sicherzustellen. Dabei ist eine Version vorgesehen, bei der ein elektrischer Leiter mit einem Crimpanschluss steckbar mit dem Steckeinsatz verbunden ist und eine weitere Version, bei der ein elektrischer Leiter, als Litzenleiter, direkt mittels einer bereits bekannten Vorrichtung steck- und kontaktierbar ist.Since the alignment of the plug-in modules within a plug-in connection in the plug-in insert and in the holding frame must be mirror-inverted, each plug-in insert is designed in such a way that the plug-in modules can only be inserted into the rectangular recesses when rotated in the plugging direction.
Another advantage is that the plug-in modules can also be inserted into each of the holding frames from both sides - that is, from the actual plug-in side with the mating connector as well as from the cable connection side.
Another advantage of the plug-in insert according to the invention is that it also has devices to properly establish a PE connection without tools in the simplest way - that is, the transfer of a protective line to ensure. A version is provided in which an electrical conductor with a crimp connection can be plugged into the plug-in insert and a further version in which an electrical conductor, as a stranded conductor, can be plugged in and contacted directly by means of an already known device.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Systemsteckverbinder in einer auseinander gezogenen, räumlichen Darstellung, mit einem Steckergehäuse 3, einem ersten Gehäuserahmen 10 und einem als Flanschrahmen ausgebildeten zweiten Gehäuserahmen 20.
Der Gehäuserahmen ist als freitragender erster Halterahmen 10 ausgebildet und umfasst u.a. eine darin integrierte Verrastungseinheit 4, deren Mechanismus mittels einer Druck- und Drehknopf -Technik gelöst ist.
Innerhalb einer Rechteckdurchführung 11 des Halterrahmens 10 sind mehrere Steck-Module 40 angeordnet, die mit Steck-Modulen 40' eines dazu passenden, zweiten Halterahmens 20 korrelieren.
Wobei der Flanschrahmen stationär in ein beliebiges Aggregat, wie zum Beispiel an ein Motor- oder Schrankgehäuse an bzw. eingebaut wird, und der mobile Systemsteckverbinder mit dem Gehäuserahmen (Halterahmen 10) mit dem stationären Flanschrahmen (zweiter Halterahmen 20) zu verbinden ist.
Jeder der Halterahmen 10, 20 ist zum Einsatz für die Steck-Module 40, 40' ausgebildet und mit entsprechenden Konturen für den Einbau in das halbrunde Steckergehäuse 3 oder für einen Ausschnitt in einem Gehäuse ausgestaltet.
Wobei der als zweiter Halterahmen 20 ausgebildete Flanschrahmen einen umlaufenden Flansch 22 mit einem Kragen aufweist in dem ein umlaufender Dichtring 23 angeordnet ist, zur sicheren Abdichtung der Steckverbindung gegen Umwelteinflüsse. Weiterhin ist die Steckseite 6 und die kabelseitige Anschlussseite 7 gekennzeichnet.The Fig. 1 shows a system connector in an exploded, spatial representation, with a connector housing 3, a first housing frame 10 and a second housing frame 20 designed as a flange frame.
The housing frame is designed as a self-supporting first holding frame 10 and includes, among other things, a latching unit 4 integrated therein, the mechanism of which is released by means of a push-and-turn button technology.
Several plug-in modules 40, which correlate with plug-in modules 40 ′ of a matching, second holding frame 20, are arranged within a rectangular duct 11 of the holding frame 10.
The flange frame is stationary in any unit, such as a motor or cabinet housing, and the mobile system connector with the housing frame (holding frame 10) is to be connected to the stationary flange frame (second holding frame 20).
Each of the holding frames 10, 20 is designed to be used for the plug-in modules 40, 40 'and designed with corresponding contours for installation in the semicircular connector housing 3 or for a cutout in a housing.
The flange frame designed as a second holding frame 20 has a circumferential flange 22 with a collar in which a circumferential sealing ring 23 is arranged, for the secure sealing of the plug connection against environmental influences. The plug-in side 6 and the cable-side connection side 7 are also identified.

In der Fig. 2 ist der Halterahmen 20 des Systemsteckverbinders gezeigt, mit seiner auffälligen Rechteckdurchführung 11, innerhalb des umlaufenden Flansches 22, in der ein Steckeinsatz 30 eingefügt ist.
Dabei ist der Steckeinsatz 30 als U-förmiges Bauteil mit rechtwinklig abgebogenen Seitenrahmen 31 in einer der schmalen Seitenbereiche im Halterahmen verrastet.In the Fig. 2 the holding frame 20 of the system connector is shown, with its conspicuous rectangular leadthrough 11, within the circumferential flange 22, in which a plug insert 30 is inserted.
The plug-in insert 30 is latched as a U-shaped component with a side frame 31 bent at right angles in one of the narrow side areas in the holding frame.

In der Fig. 3a ist ein Eckausschnitt des Halterahmens 20 mit Blick auf die Steckseite 6 gezeigt.
Der Ausschnitt zeigt mehrere Anformungen, die für den Einbau eines Steckeinsatzes 30 sowie für die Funktionalität des Systems verantwortlich sind. So ist ein teilweise freistehender Zapfen 26 mit einer Polarisierungsschiene 26' gezeigt, wie eine Ausnehmung 29 und eine quadratische Erhebung 13.In the Fig. 3a a corner section of the holding frame 20 with a view of the plug-in side 6 is shown.
The detail shows several projections that are responsible for the installation of a plug-in insert 30 and for the functionality of the system. A partially free-standing pin 26 with a polarization rail 26 ′ is shown, such as a recess 29 and a square elevation 13.

Die Fig. 3b zeigt den gleichen Ausschnitt innerhalb der Rechteckdurchführung mit dem als elektrisch leitendes Teil ausgebildeten Steckeinsatz 30 der mittels der Rastlaschen 33 und Zapfen 26 gehalten ist.
Der Steckeinsatz 30 wird hier von der Steckseite 6, von oben in die Rechteckdurchführung 21 eingefügt.
Dabei wird der Steckeinsatz 30 an seinen Eckbereichen hinter jeweils einen der angeformten Zapfen 26 geschoben und gleichzeitig mittels einer Rastlasche 33, die in Ausnehmungen 29 im Halterahmen 20 eingreift gehalten, so dass ein weiteres Verschieben des Steckeinsatzes 30 verhindert wird.The Figure 3b shows the same section within the rectangular bushing with the plug-in insert 30 which is designed as an electrically conductive part and which is held by means of the latching tabs 33 and pins 26.
The plug-in insert 30 is inserted into the rectangular feed-through 21 from the plug-in side 6 from above.
The plug-in insert 30 is pushed behind one of the molded-on pins 26 at its corner areas and at the same time held by means of a latching tab 33 which engages in recesses 29 in the holding frame 20, so that further displacement of the plug-in insert 30 is prevented.

Die Fig. 4a zeigt zwei Steckeinsätze 30, 30' in einer perspektivischen Ansicht, wie sie in einem gesteckten System in den Halterahmen 10, 20 angeordnet sind. Dabei zeigt der Steckeinsatz 30' lediglich die spiegelbildlichen Unterschiede.
In den Seitenrahmen 31 sind jeweils zwei vom oberen und unteren Rahmenrand 32 nach innen ausgerichtete Zungen 34 angeformt, wobei deren Zungenenden 35 voneinander beabstandet in den Innenraum der Rechteckdurchführung 11 weisen.
Die quadratisch mit Abrundungen ausgeformte Erhebung 13 an den Längsseiten des Halterahmens 20 - das gilt auch für den ersten Halterahmen 10 - die in das Zentrum der Zungen 34 des Seitenrahmens 31 hineinragend, stellt faktisch eine Begrenzung der vier Zungenenden 35 des Steckeinsatzes 30, 30' dar, und ist gleichzeitig der Drehpunkt nach dem Einfügen der Steck-Module 40 von der senkrechten zur waagerechter Verschiebung innerhalb des Halterahmens 10 oder 20.The Figure 4a shows two plug inserts 30, 30 'in a perspective view as they are arranged in a system inserted into the holding frame 10, 20. The plug insert 30 'only shows the mirror-inverted differences.
In each of the side frames 31, two tongues 34 oriented inwardly from the upper and lower frame edge 32 are formed, with their tongue ends 35 pointing into the interior of the rectangular duct 11 at a distance from one another.
The raised square shape with rounded elevations 13 on the long sides of the holding frame 20 - this also applies to the first holding frame 10 - which protrudes into the center of the tongues 34 of the side frame 31, actually represents a limitation of the four tongue ends 35 of the plug insert 30, 30 ' , and is at the same time the pivot point after the insertion of the plug-in modules 40 from the vertical to the horizontal displacement within the holding frame 10 or 20.

Weiterhin sind zumindest auf einer Seite eines Steckeinsatzes 30, 30' Kontaktlaschen 37 in einer wellenförmigen Ausführung vorgesehen, die beim Zusammenstecken der beiden Gehäuserahmen 10, 20 den jeweils anderen Steckeinsatz kontaktieren.Furthermore, at least on one side of a plug-in insert 30, 30 ', contact tabs 37 are provided in a wave-shaped design, which contact the other plug-in insert when the two housing frames 10, 20 are plugged together.

Wie aus der Fig. 4b ersichtlich ist, sind die Zungen 34 in den Seitenrahmen 31 des Steckeinsatzes 30, 30' für die beiden Halterahmen 10, 20 so angeordnet, dass der hier oben gezeigte Seitenrahmen 31 auf seiner Außenseite eine Polarisationslücke 39 zeigt (die allerdings genau so breit ist wie die mittlere Lücke 39'), während beim unteren Seitenrahmen 31 die Polarisationslücke 39 innenliegend nahe dem Winkel angeordnet ist.
In die beiden Lücken 39, 39' werden an Schmalseiten eines Steck-Moduls 40 angeformte Längsrippen 45 eingesetzt.As from the Figure 4b As can be seen, the tongues 34 in the side frame 31 of the plug-in insert 30, 30 'for the two holding frames 10, 20 are arranged so that the side frame 31 shown above shows a polarization gap 39 on its outside (which, however, is just as wide as the middle gap 39 '), while in the lower side frame 31 the polarization gap 39 is arranged on the inside close to the angle.
Longitudinal ribs 45 molded onto the narrow sides of a plug-in module 40 are inserted into the two gaps 39, 39 '.

Dazu ist in der Fig. 4c gezeigt, wie aus den Steck-Modulen 40 die Längsrippen 45 und die Querrippen 43 in die Seitenrahmen 31 der beiden Steckeinsätze 30, 30' eingreifen.
Jedes der Steck-Module 40 weist kurze Längsrippen 45 an den Kanten der Schmalseiten 41 sowie etwa mittig der Schmalseiten zwei durch eine Nut 44 beabstandete Querrippen 43 auf.
Zur Bestückung der beiden Halterahmen 10, 20 werden die Steck-Module 40 zunächst senkrecht zum jeweiligen Halterahmen im Bereich des Steckeinsatzes 30 mittels der Längsrippen 45 eingesetzt und geführt, um anschließend mittels der Querrippen 43 bzw. der dazwischen angeordneten Nut 44, an zwei innerhalb der Halterahmen 10,20 gegenüberliegend angeformten Gleitschienen 14, 14' und 24, 24' bis zum Anschlag in der Rechteckdurchführung 11, 21 verschoben zu werden.This is in the Figure 4c shows how the longitudinal ribs 45 and the transverse ribs 43 from the plug-in modules 40 engage in the side frames 31 of the two plug-in inserts 30, 30 '.
Each of the plug-in modules 40 has short longitudinal ribs 45 on the edges of the narrow sides 41 and two transverse ribs 43 spaced apart by a groove 44 approximately in the middle of the narrow sides.
To equip the two holding frames 10, 20, the plug-in modules 40 are first inserted and guided perpendicular to the respective holding frame in the area of the plug-in insert 30 by means of the longitudinal ribs 45, and then by means of the transverse ribs 43 or the groove 44 arranged in between, on two within the Holding frame 10, 20 oppositely molded slide rails 14, 14 'and 24, 24' to be moved to the stop in the rectangular duct 11, 21.

Durch das Eingreifen der Längsrippen 45 zwischen den Zungen 34 und den polarisierenden Lücken 39, 39' ist zunächst eine Möglichkeit für eine verwechslungsfreie Polarisation der einzufügenden Steckmodule 40 gesichert. Dabei sind die Längsrippen 45 an den Schmalseiten 41 der prinzipiell ähnlichen oder identischen Steck-Module 40, 40' asymmetrisch zur Breite der Modulgehäuse angeformt.
Darüber hinaus ist zum verwechslungssicheren Stecken, einer der Zapfen 16, 26 im Halterahmen 10, 20 mit einer zusätzlich angeformten Polarisationsschiene 16' 26' versehen, die ein Falschstecken verhindert, weil das Steck-Modul 40, 40' für diesen Bereich schmaler ausgeführt ist als auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, bei der der Zapfen 16, 26 keine zusätzlich angeformte Schiene aufweist. (Siehe dazu auch Fig. 3b)
Des Weiteren ist aus der Fig. 10 ersichtlich, dass z. B. die Gleitschienen 24, 24' eine unterschiedliche Länge aufweisen, so dass nur die schmalere Seite eines Steck-Moduls in die entsprechende Ausnehmung zwischen dem Zapfen 26 und der längeren Gleitschiene 24 eingefügt werden kann.
Damit ist sichergestellt, dass zwei jeweils in den gegenseitig gesteckten Halterahmen, gegenüberliegend angeordnete Steck-Module nicht vertauscht steckbar sind und zu einer Zerstörung von Bauteilen oder Anlagen führen.The engagement of the longitudinal ribs 45 between the tongues 34 and the polarizing gaps 39, 39 'initially ensures a possibility for polarization of the plug-in modules 40 to be inserted without confusion. The longitudinal ribs 45 on the narrow sides 41 are basically similar or identical plug-in modules 40, 40 'formed asymmetrically to the width of the module housing.
In addition, to prevent confusion, one of the pins 16, 26 in the holding frame 10, 20 is provided with an additionally molded polarization bar 16 '26', which prevents incorrect insertion because the plug-in module 40, 40 'is made narrower for this area than on the opposite side, on which the pin 16, 26 has no additional molded rail. (See also Figure 3b )
Furthermore, from the Fig. 10 it can be seen that z. B. the slide rails 24, 24 'have a different length, so that only the narrower side of a plug-in module can be inserted into the corresponding recess between the pin 26 and the longer slide rail 24.
This ensures that two plug-in modules arranged opposite one another cannot be interchanged and can lead to the destruction of components or systems.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht und in einem Teilschnitt der Halterahmen 10, 20, wie zwei Steck-Module 40, 40' die um 180° seitengedreht gegeneinander in den beiden Halterahmen eingesetzt sind. Dabei ist einer der Seitenrahmen des Steckeinsatzes nicht gezeigt.
Deutlich zu erkennen sind die jeweils versetzten Längsrippen 45 auf den Schmalseiten 41 der Steck-Module 40, 40' sind.
Auch ist ersichtlich, wie das Steckmodul 40 nach dem senkrechten Einsetzen mittels der Nut 44 und die sie trennenden Querrippen 43 waagerecht auf den Gleitschienen 14, 14' oder 24, 24' verschoben werden kann.The Fig. 5 shows, in a perspective view and in a partial section of the holding frame 10, 20, like two plug-in modules 40, 40 'which are inserted into the two holding frames rotated by 180 ° in relation to one another. One of the side frames of the socket is not shown.
The respective offset longitudinal ribs 45 on the narrow sides 41 of the plug-in modules 40, 40 'can be clearly seen.
It can also be seen how the plug-in module 40 can be displaced horizontally on the slide rails 14, 14 'or 24, 24' by means of the groove 44 and the transverse ribs 43 separating them after the vertical insertion.

Zur Übergabe, bzw. zur Weiterleitung der Schutzwirkung eines vorgeschriebenen PE-Schutzleiters innerhalb der Steckverbindung, ist jeweils eine spezielle Anbindung des Schutzleiters an dem Steckeinsatz 30 vorgesehen, wie dies in der Fig. 6 angedeutet ist.
Dabei besteht zum einen die Möglichkeit einen Crimpkontakt 56 mit einem entsprechenden elektrischen Leiter zu verbinden und diesen Crimpkontakt 56 in eine quadratische Ausnehmung 17 z. B. im Halterahmen 10 einzufügen, und den Steckeinsatz 30 mittels zwei daraus U-förmig abgebogener Kontaktzungen 38 zu kontaktieren.To transfer or forward the protective effect of a prescribed PE protective conductor within the plug-in connection, a special connection of the protective conductor to the plug-in insert 30 is provided, as shown in FIG Fig. 6 is indicated.
On the one hand there is the possibility of connecting a crimp contact 56 to a corresponding electrical conductor and inserting this crimp contact 56 into a square recess 17, for B. to be inserted in the holding frame 10, and to contact the plug insert 30 by means of two contact tongues 38 bent therefrom in a U-shape.

Und zum anderen ist eine weitere, rechteckige Ausnehmung 18 im Halterahmen 10 vorgesehen, in die ein bereits bekanntes und anderweitig genutztes Anschlusselement 58 einfügbar ist, das für eine Kontaktierung von elektrischen Leitern, die als Litzenleiter bekannt sind, vorgesehen ist.
Auch hierzu sind zwei U-förmig ausgebildete Kontaktzungen 38' an dem Steckeinsatz 30 vorgesehen, die zur Kontaktierung in das Anschlusselement 58 hineinreichen.
Beide Anbindungen zur PE-Kontaktierung erfolgen jeweils über die Kabelanschlussseite 7 des ersten 10 wie auch des hierzu nicht weiter gezeigten zweiten Halterahmens 20.And on the other hand, another, rectangular recess 18 is provided in the holding frame 10, into which an already known and otherwise used connection element 58 can be inserted, which is provided for contacting electrical conductors known as stranded conductors.
For this purpose, too, two U-shaped contact tongues 38 ′ are provided on the plug insert 30, which extend into the connection element 58 for contacting.
Both connections for PE contact are made via the cable connection side 7 of the first 10 as well as the second holding frame 20, which is not shown further in this regard.

In der Fig. 7 ist ein Beispiel von zwei Steck-Modulen 40, 40' gezeigt, wobei ein erstes Steck-Modul 40 Stiftkontakte 55 und ein zweites Steck-Modul 40' (nicht sichtbar) Buchsenkontakte enthält. Dabei ist das zweite Steck-Modul 40' mit den Buchsenkontakten mit einem Kragen 47 versehen der in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 48 des ersten Steck-Moduls 40 einfügbar ist, zur Kontaktierung mit denn Stiftkontakten 55.
Darüber hinaus kann eine Variante vorgesehen sein, bei der beide Steck-Module mit Stift- oder Buchsenkontakten ausgerüstet sind, und ein separat gefertigter Adapter ebenfalls kragenähnlich ausgeführt ist, der auf eines der Steck-Module 40 verrastend aufgesteckt wird. Dazu ist dieser Adapter dann mit jeweils konträren Kontakten zu den Kontakten in beiden Steck-Modulen bestückt.In the Fig. 7 an example of two plug-in modules 40, 40 'is shown, a first plug-in module 40 containing pin contacts 55 and a second plug-in module 40' (not visible) containing socket contacts. The second plug-in module 40 ′ with the socket contacts is provided with a collar 47 which can be inserted into a corresponding recess 48 of the first plug-in module 40 for making contact with the pin contacts 55.
In addition, a variant can be provided in which both plug-in modules are equipped with pin or socket contacts, and a separately manufactured adapter is also designed in a collar-like manner, which is plugged onto one of the plug-in modules 40 in a latching manner. For this purpose, this adapter is then equipped with contacts that are opposite to the contacts in both plug-in modules.

Zum Entfernen eines oder mehrerer Steck-Module 40 aus einem der Halterahmen 10, 20 ist ein bügelförmiges Demontagewerkzeug 50, wie in Fig. 8 dargestellt, erforderlich.
Dessen parallel zu den Schmalseiten 41 der Steck-Module 40, 40' abgewinkelte Seitenbügel 52 wird über die Schmalseiten des im Steckeinsatz 30 eingesetzten Steck-Moduls 40, 40' geschoben.To remove one or more plug-in modules 40 from one of the holding frames 10, 20, a bow-shaped dismantling tool 50, as in FIG Fig. 8 shown, required.
Its side bracket 52, angled parallel to the narrow sides 41 of the plug-in modules 40, 40 ', is pushed over the narrow sides of the plug-in module 40, 40' inserted in the plug-in insert 30.

Dabei werden die Zungen 34 am Steckeinsatz 30 nach außen gebogen, so dass deren Verrastung an den Querrippen 43 vom Steck-Modul 40, 40' aufgehoben wird und das Modul aus dem Steckeinsatz 30 und somit aus dem jeweiligen Halterahmen entfernbar ist.
Das nächstliegende Steck-Modul 40 muss zur Entnahme zunächst wiederum seitlich in den Bereich des Steckeinsatzes 30 verschoben werden, ehe mit dem Demontagewerkzeug 50 die Verrastung der Zungen 34 aufgehoben werden kann.
Wobei vorgesehen ist, die Steck-Module wahlweise beidseitig aus dem jeweiligen Rahmen herausziehbar sind.
Also, in Steckrichtung 6 oder entgegengesetzt in Richtung der Anschlussseite 7 des jeweiligen Halterahmens 10, 20.The tongues 34 on the plug-in insert 30 are bent outward so that their locking on the transverse ribs 43 of the plug-in module 40, 40 'is canceled and the module can be removed from the plug-in insert 30 and thus from the respective holding frame.
For removal, the closest plug-in module 40 must first be shifted laterally into the area of the plug-in insert 30 before the latching of the tongues 34 can be canceled with the dismantling tool 50.
It is provided that the plug-in modules can optionally be pulled out of the respective frame on both sides.
That is, in the plug-in direction 6 or in the opposite direction in the direction of the connection side 7 of the respective holding frame 10, 20.

Darüber hinaus ist in einer zweiten Ausführungsform ein Steck-Modul 40" wie in der Fig. 9 gezeigt, vorgesehen, dass für bestimmte Anwendungsfälle nicht seitlich innerhalb des Halterahmens 10, 20 verschiebbar sein soll, sondern nur im Bereich des Steckeinsatzes 30 in oder entgegen der Steckrichtung einzufügen ist.
Dazu sind die beiden Querrippen 43 an den Schmalseiten des Moduls zu einer Querrippe 43' zusammengezogen worden, so dass keine Nut zum Verschieben auf den Gleitschienen 14,14', 24, 24' zur Verfügung steht.In addition, in a second embodiment, a plug-in module 40 ″ as in FIG Fig. 9 It is provided that, for certain applications, it should not be able to be moved laterally within the holding frame 10, 20, but should only be inserted in the area of the plug-in insert 30 in or against the plug-in direction.
For this purpose, the two transverse ribs 43 on the narrow sides of the module have been drawn together to form a transverse rib 43 ', so that no groove is available for displacement on the slide rails 14, 14', 24, 24 '.

In beiden Halterahmen 10, 20 dieser Steckverbindung ist weiterhin eine mechanische Kodierung mit zwei Pentaprismen-Pfosten vorgesehen, um beim Zusammenstecken bei einer Anzahl gleichartigen Steckverbindergehäuse ein Unterscheidungsmerkmal für eine korrekte Steckung in Anspruch nehmen zu können.
Dazu ist in jedem Halterahmen 10, 20 steckseitig, wie in der Fig. 10 gezeigt, mindestens ein 5-kantiger Kodierpfosten 60 vorgesehen, der jeweils zur Hälfte, mittig längsgeteilt ist, und in einem bestimmten gegenseitig passenden (oder auch unpassenden) Winkel steckbar ist, so dass nur die passende Winkelstellung zueinander ein Stecken der beiden Gehäuseteile erlaubt. Dabei sind für die unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen Zahlensymbole vorgesehen, die bei dem vorgesehenen 2-teiligen Kodiersystem mit den Zahlen 0 - 4 für den ersten Pfosten und für den zweiten von 5 - 9 nummeriert sind. Damit sind bis zu 25 Kombinationen möglich.
Weiterhin ist in der Draufsicht des als Flanschrahmen ausgebildeten Halterahmens 20 ein Steckeinsatz 30 mit einem darin eingefügten Steck-Modul 40 dargestellt.In both holding frames 10, 20 of this connector, mechanical coding with two pentaprism posts is also provided in order to be able to make use of a distinguishing feature for correct insertion when plugging a number of connector housings of the same type.
This is in each holding frame 10, 20 on the plug side, as in the Fig. 10 shown, at least one 5-sided coding post 60 is provided, which is divided longitudinally in half, in the middle, and can be plugged in at a certain mutually matching (or also unsuitable) angle, so that only the matching angular position to each other allows plugging of the two housing parts. Number symbols are provided for the different angular positions, which are numbered from 0 to 4 for the first post and from 5 to 9 for the second post in the 2-part coding system provided. This means that up to 25 combinations are possible.
Furthermore, a plug-in insert 30 with a plug-in module 40 inserted therein is shown in the plan view of the holding frame 20 designed as a flange frame.
