Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact carrier according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
  • contact carriers are needed in the connection and connection technology to accommodate contacts in, preferably connectors.
  • the contact carrier serves to receive contact elements, such as electrical, pneumatic or optical contacts.
  • the contact carrier has cavities in which the contact elements are received and secured.
  • the cavities are usually designed as holes that completely penetrate the contact carrier.
  • the connection side a conductor with the received in the cavity contact element can be conductively connected.
  • the contact element received in the cavity is provided for contacting with a second contact carrier.
  • the second contact carrier is preferably also received in a connector which is connectable to the connector of the first contact carrier.
  • contact carriers are designed as modular. Several of these modulars can be used together in one connector. This embodiment makes it possible not to produce a special contact carrier for a connector for each specific application, but to combine different modules with different contact elements together.
  • the proposed invention relates to a further embodiment of such modular connector.
  • individual contact carriers (modular) are inserted into and held together by a frame.
  • the so-called modular frame is accommodated with inserted modules in a connector housing and thus forms the modular connector.
  • a holding frame for mounting connector modules and for installation in connector housing or for screwing to wall surfaces is known.
  • holding means are provided on the connector modules, which cooperate with recesses provided in opposite wall parts of the holding frame.
  • the connector modules received in the holding frame are provided for contacting with corresponding connector modules in a mating connector.
  • the contact carriers are essentially of a square shape. This allows a close juxtaposition of several modules. Such contact carriers are also known from the non-modular field of connectors. In each case, a correspondingly larger contact carrier is inserted into a connector used and serves as an insulating body for receiving and Kontak- contact elements.
  • connectors are made by robots, together with machine parts or other machines. For example, if large machine modules are replaced in large industrial plants, the connectors must be aligned with very small tolerances when assembling the machine components.
  • mismatches occur when the tolerances of rectangular or square contact carriers in two space dimensi- to be maxed out.
  • the object of the invention is to present a contact carrier for connectors, which eliminates the disadvantages of known from the prior art contact carrier and connectors, or at least minimized.
  • the contact carrier with the contact carrier of a two-pin connector should be able to be easily merged.
  • the risk of mutual contact of the contact carrier to each other should be minimized even with inaccurate contact.
  • the contact carrier is a substantially rectangular or square base body.
  • the main body is divided into a holding area and a plug-in area.
  • One or more cavities are provided in the contact carrier so that they completely penetrate the contact carrier and are arranged in regions in the holding region and the plug-in region.
  • the cavities are provided for receiving contact elements, wherein the contact elements are fastened and held in the holding region of the contact carrier.
  • the contact elements may optionally be electrical, pneumatic or optical contact elements.
  • the contact elements are formed so that they can be connected to the part arranged in the holding portion with a conductor to be connected. The connected conductor can leave the cavity in the holding area of the contact carrier.
  • the holding region of the contact carrier has on its outside appropriate means which are suitable for mounting the contact carrier in a connector.
  • the means may be formed as a mounting flange to secure the contact carrier with screws or similar tools in a connector housing.
  • a further embodiment would be in the range of modular connectors, on the contact carrier Anform ments provide by means of which the contact carrier form-fitting manner in e.g. a holding frame can be added.
  • the mating side of the contact carrier has at least four side surfaces which extend away from the holding region and are terminated by a cover surface terminating the mating side.
  • a cover surface terminating the mating side.
  • openings of the cavities are provided, which extend through the contact carrier. The openings ensure access and contact of the contact elements in the cavities.
  • the edge is provided with a bevel serving as a chamfer.
  • the insertion bevel on the contact carrier has a dimensioning transverse to the insertion direction between 0.2 mm and 2.5 mm.
  • the insertion bevel is wide at least 0.5 mm across the direction of insertion.
  • the insertion bech between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm across the direction of insertion is wide.
  • the design of the insertion bevel at 45 ° has proven to be particularly useful. But also chamfers with angles between 20 ° and 70 ° are conceivable. Advantageous insertion bevels in the range between 35 ° and 55 °.
  • the contact carrier is formed in a further embodiment so that between each two abutting side surfaces no edge, but a radius is formed.
  • this embodiment of the Kunststofferäges the problem of mishaps when merging with another contact carrier is particularly large.
  • the chamfer forming the insertion bevel also forms a radius on the top surface.
  • the contact carrier according to the invention has in the region of the rounded edges between the side surfaces over a step-shaped recess in the top surface. Thus, a touchdown of the contact carrier is prevented on a corresponding contact carrier.
  • the step-shaped recess is expediently executed in the same dimension as the insertion bevel on the contact carrier. This ensures that even at the maximum offset of two contact carriers to one another seating in the rounded corner is prevented.
  • EN 175301 -801: 2006 connectors must be able to compensate for a 0.5 mm offset in the longitudinal and transverse directions. This is not possible as already described with an insertion bevel of 0.5 mm. In order not to make the insertion bevels unnecessarily large fulfills a connector according to the teachings of the present invention, the requirements of EN 175301 -801: 2006.

By inserting the plug-in region 2 into the plug-in region of the contact carrier 20, the contact elements received in the contact carriers 1, 20 are connected to one another and contacted.
  • the plug-in region of the contact carrier 20 is designed so that it surrounds the plug-in region 2 of the contact carrier 1 in the inserted state.
  • projecting contact elements can thus protrude into the cavities 4 of the contact carrier 1 and contact the contact elements received therein.
