Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector with a locking system for receiving in and locking with a further connector.
  • connectors are known in which the latching tab is arranged in one piece on the housing.
  • the problem with such connectors is that the locking tab can deform during the injection molding process for the production of the connector, so that the locking tab cannot exert the corresponding locking force that is required for locking with the base strip.
  • the US 4,961,711 discloses an electrical connector that can be plugged onto a circuit board connector.
  • the connector comprises an upper shielding part, a lower shielding part, two locking parts which can be fastened to the upper and the lower shielding part, and a housing part, the upper and the lower shielding part and the locking parts in the Housing part can be arranged.
  • the locking parts each have a hook element, the hook elements latching into the snap-in elements arranged on the circuit board connector when the connector is plugged onto the circuit board connector.
  • a connector according to claim 1 is thus provided with a latching system for receiving in and latching with a further connector, the connector being formed in one piece with the latching system and the latching system being arranged on the connector housing and comprising at least one latching tab with a latching nose and the latching tab has a pressure tab which can be applied to the plug housing in order to exert a spring force.
  • the pressure tab of the latching tab is not directly connected to the connector housing during the manufacturing process of the connector. Only when the pressure plate is placed on the connector housing does the pressure plate exert the spring force. In this way, the pressure plate is not subject to any pre-tension relevant for the later spring force of the locking plate during the manufacturing process of the connector. In addition, the The pressure plate can be adjusted as part of the manufacturing process, depending on the planned locking force of the locking plate.
  • the locking tab is V-shaped and comprises an outer leg and an inner leg shortened compared to the outer leg.
  • the inner leg is connected to the connector housing at its first end via a connecting web and is connected to the second end of the outer leg via a film hinge at its second end.
  • the pressure tab is arranged at the first end of the outer leg on the side facing the connector housing.
  • the latching lug of the latching tab is arranged at the second end of the inner leg on the side facing the plug housing.
  • a further preferred development of the invention provides that the inner leg has a latching area at its first end and the outer leg on its side facing the inner leg has a latching hook for latching with the latching area of the inner leg, the latching hook latching the latching area into the latching area Pressure tab can be placed on the connector housing. In this way, only by locking the latching hook with the Rest area exerted the spring force of the pressure plate.
  • a connector with locking system is specified, in which the locking force of the locking system can only be activated afterwards. This is particularly relevant for the manufacturing process of the connector with the locking system, so that, among other things, temperature-related process steps have no significant influence on the pretensioning of the latching tab that can be achieved by the spring force.
  • a further preferred development of the invention is that when the latching hook is latched to the latching area, the inside of the outer leg bears against the inner leg. In this way, a power transmission between the outer leg and the inner leg is possible.
  • a further preferred development of the invention provides that the spring force of the pressure tab in the area of the latching lug exerts a force in the direction of the connector housing. In this way, the locking lug is pressed against the connector housing, which increases the locking effect of the locking system.
  • the pressure plate is inclined in the direction of the inner leg and has an angle between approximately 30 ° and approximately 60 °, based on the axis of the outer leg. In this way, a possibility is created to adjust the spring force of the pressure plate in the tool by changing the angle of inclination of the pressure plate. In addition to changing the angle of inclination to adjust the spring force of the pressure plate Spring force of the pressure plate can also be adjusted by changing the length of the pressure plate.
  • a further preferred development of the invention provides that the locking tab in the region of the locking lug can be guided away from the plug housing by a force counteracting the spring force of the pressure tab. In this way, the latching of the plug connector inserted into the further plug connector and latched with the further plug connector is released, so that the plug connector can be removed from the further plug connector.
  • the connector is formed in one piece with the locking system. In this way, a connector with a latching system is specified, the latching force of the latching system not being impaired by the manufacturing process of the connector and, in addition to inserting the connector into the further connector, no further work step for latching is required.
  • the locking system comprises a plurality of locking tabs. In this way, a particularly secure locking of the connector with the other connector is specified.
  • FIG. 1 A connector 1 with a latching system can be seen, the latching system comprising a first latching tab 2 and a second latching tab 2 which is identical in comparison to the first latching tab 2. Due to the identical structure of the first locking tab 2 and the second locking tab 2 and the symmetrical arrangement of the first locking tab 2 and the second locking tab 2 on the connector housing 3 of the connector 1, the configuration of the locking system on a locking tab 2 is described.
  • the latching tab 2 is V-shaped and has an outer leg 4 and an inner leg 5 that is shorter than the outer leg 4.
  • the inner leg 5 is connected at its first end to the plug housing 3 via a connecting web 6 and at its second end via a film hinge 7 to the second end of the outer leg 4.
  • the outer leg 4 has on its side facing the plug housing 3 a pressure tab 8 inclined in the direction of the inner leg 5. Relative to the axis of the outer leg 4, the angle of inclination of the pressure plate is approximately 30 °.
  • a locking lug 9 for locking with a Fig. 1 further connector 12, not shown, is arranged at the second end of the inner leg 5 on the side facing the plug housing 3. Furthermore, the inner leg 5 has at its first end a latching area 10 and the outer leg 4 on its side facing the inner leg has a latching hook 11 for latching with the latching area 10 of the inner leg 5.
  • the locking of the locking hook 11 with the locking area 10 causes the inside of the outer leg 4 to rest on the inner leg 5.
  • the spring force generated by the application of the pressure plate 8 to the connector housing 3 of the pressure plate 8 is transmitted via the outer leg 4, the latching hook 11, which is latched to the latching region 10, to the inner leg 5 up to the latching nose 9.
  • the connecting web 6 for connecting the inner leg 4 to the plug housing 3 acts as a fulcrum, so that the spring force exerted by the pressure plate 8 in the region of the Latch 9 exerts a force in the direction of the connector housing 3.
  • FIG. 3 The connector 1 is shown with the locking system for receiving in and locking with a further connector 12.
  • the pressure tab 8 of the respective latching tab 2 rests on the connector housing 3.
  • the spring force exerted by the pressure tab 8 causes a force in the region of the latching lug 9 in the direction of the connector housing 3.
  • the connector 1 is plugged into the further connector 12 Fig. 2 Locking lug 9 shown in a corresponding recess 13 on the further connector 12.
