- 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.
- these are designed as modules. Several of these modules can be combined into 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.
- modules are used in a frame and held together by this.
- the so-called modular frame is accommodated with inserted modules in a connector housing and thus forms the modular connector.
- a holding frame for holding connector modules and for installation in connector housing or for screwing to wall surfaces 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 essentially consist 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.
- the copy DE 20 2013 103 611 U1 describes a holding frame for a connector, wherein the holding frame is formed from two sheet metal parts screwed together. As a result, it has mechanically particularly good creep properties, and is therefore particularly well used with pneumatic modules.
- the pneumatic modules of the plug with those of the mating connector for transmission for example, an air pressure, are pressed against each other.
- a substantially cuboid pneumatic module is shown, which is beveled at the edges of its mating surface.
- latching arms with latching hooks For its stabilization in the holding frame it has latching arms with latching hooks. These latching arms are arranged in each case in a recess at the edges of the module extending at right angles to the plug-in surface, wherein the recess is guided into the plug-in surface for production-related reasons.
- 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.
- the object of the invention is to present a system comprising a contact carrier and a corresponding contact carrier, in which the contact carrier eliminates or at least minimizes the disadvantages of the contact carriers and connectors known from the prior art.

- 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 to provide projections in the area of the modular plug connectors on the contact carrier by means of which the contact carrier can be positively locked 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 contacting of the contact elements in the cavities.
- the edge is provided with a bevel serving as a chamfer.
- 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 lead-in bevel is 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 according to the invention is designed so that no edge, but a radius is formed between each two abutting side surfaces.
- 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 with the corresponding contact carrier is not pluggable.
- 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 the 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.
- connectors in accordance with EN 175301-801: 2006 must be able to compensate for an offset of 0.5 mm in the longitudinal and transverse directions. This is not possible as already described with an insertion bevel of 0.5 mm.
- a connector according to the teachings of the present invention fulfills the requirements of EN 175301-801: 2006.
- the FIG. 1 shows a contact carrier 1 from a perspective view.
- the contact carrier 1 has two areas, wherein the area shown below forms a holding area 3 and the area shown here above forms a plug-in area 2.
- the cavities 4 extend from a cover area 6, which terminates the plug-in area 2, through the entire plug-in area 2, as well as the entire holding area 3. On the non-visible, concluding surface of the holding area 3, the cavities 4 emerge - as does the plug-in area 2 the holding area 3 of the contact carrier 1 from.
- the cavities 4 are provided for receiving contact elements.
- Contact elements are held in the holding region 3 in the cavities 4 and protrude with a plug end into the plug-in region 2. Through the openings of the cavities 4 in the holding region 3, the contact elements can be connected to a cable to be connected.
- the means 5 can assume various configurations known from the prior art.
- cuboidal projections are provided as a means 5 on the contact carrier.
- the cuboidal means 5 can be inserted in a modular frame in corresponding recesses. As a result, the contact carrier 1 is held in the modular frame.
- the plug-in region 2 of the contact carrier 1 is provided for joining with the plug-in region of a corresponding contact carrier 20.
- the plug-in region 2 By inserting the plug-in region 2 into the plug-in region of the corresponding 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 corresponding 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.
- the plug-in region 2 of the contact carrier 1 has in the illustrated embodiment four side surfaces 7, and a final cover surface 6.
- the side surfaces 7 are each connected by a radius 10.
- a circumferential chamfer is provided on the contact carrier 1.
- the circumferential chamfer serves as an insertion bevel 8.
- the insertion of the plug-in region 2 of the contact carrier 1 into a plug-in region of a corresponding contact carrier 20 is thus simplified.
- the contact carrier 1, 20 are interconnected with a larger tolerance.
- recesses 9 are introduced into the contact carrier 1 in the corner regions of the plug-in region 2.
- the recesses 9 are dimensioned so that they omit the rounded by the radius 10 corner region of the insertion 8.
- the problem according to the invention is prevented in that an exploitation of the insertion bevel 8 in two directions (x, y) prevents the contact carriers 1, 20 from being joined together.
- the problem of the invention is in the FIG. 2 again illustrated in more detail.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of a contact carrier 1 and a arranged above corresponding contact carrier 20.
- the corresponding contact carrier 20 is shown in partial section to allow a view of the interior of the contacting of the contact carrier 1, 20.
- corresponding contact carrier 20 From the corresponding contact carrier 20 only part of the plug-in area is shown. The remaining part of the corresponding contact carrier 20 has not been shown above the plug-in area for the sake of clarity. In the front region, a side surface 21 of the corresponding contact carrier 20 is cut open. As a result, a view of the insertion bevel 8 of the contact carrier 1 shown below is possible. Also, the contact carrier 1 is shown only in the neck.
- the radius 10 between the side surfaces 7 of the contact carrier 1 can be seen, which also forms a chamfer at the top, the corresponding contact carrier 20 end facing by the insertion bevel 8. Due to the insertion bevel 8, the radius 10 at the edge 11 to the top surface 6 is lower.
- the plug-in areas of the contact carriers 1, 20 are expediently dimensioned so that the plug-in area 2 of the contact carrier 1 can be inserted in a form-fitting manner into the plug-in area of the corresponding contact carrier 20.
- the FIG. 2 represents a state in which the merge of the contact carrier 1, 20, the insertion 8 is fully utilized both in the X direction and in the Y direction. Due to the offset of the contact carrier 1 to the korespon Schlen contact carrier 20 by the width of the insertion 8 in the X and Y directions, resulting in a diagonal, directed to the radius 22 offset of 2 * width the e i n f ü H r s c H r ä ge 2 , However, this offset is greater than the width of the insertion bevel 8 in the area F of the radius 22. Therefore, the corresponding contact carrier 20 sets at maximum X and Y offset in the area F on the contact carrier 1.
- FIG. 3 shows a section of a Köntakt deviss 1 and arranged above a corresponding contact carrier 20, from the same perspective as the FIG. 2 ,
- the contact carrier 1 is shown in a further embodiment, in which a recess. 9 is introduced in the corner of the contact carrier 1 in the insertion 8.
- FIG. 4 shows a section of a contact carrier 1 and a corresponding arranged over the contact carrier 20 as in FIG. 2 , from an identical point of view.
- the contact carrier 1 is not provided with a recess 9 in the corner region of the contact carrier 1.
- the function of the recess 9 is realized in this embodiment by increasing the radius 11. Due to a larger radius between the insertion bevel 8 and the top surface 6 in the region of the radii 10, the edge with the radius 11 adapts to the radius 22 of the corresponding contact carrier 20.
- the radius enlargement of the effect itself is achieved as by the introduction of a recess 9.
- the corresponding contact carrier 20 is also in complete spreading of the insertion 8 in the X direction and in the Y direction no longer on the contact carrier 1.

Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem System aus einem Kontaktträger und einem korrespondierenden Kontaktträger.The invention is based on a system comprising a contact carrier and a corresponding contact carrier.
Derartige Systeme aus einem Kontaktträger und einem korrespondierenden Kontaktträger werden in der Anschluss- und Verbindungstechnik benötigt, um Kontakte in, vorzugsweise Steckverbindern aufzunehmen. Dabei dient der Kontaktträger zur Aufnahme von Kontaktelementen, wie elektrischen, pneumatischen oder optischen Kontakten.Such systems of a contact carrier and a corresponding contact carrier are required 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.
Der Kontaktträger verfügt über Kavitäten, in welchen die Kontaktelemente aufgenommen und befestigt werden. Die Kavitäten sind dabei meist als Bohrungen ausgelegt, die den Kontaktträger vollständig durchdringen. So kann an einer Seite des Kontaktträgers, der Anschlussseite ein Leiter mit dem in der Kavität aufgenommenen Kontaktelement leitend verbunden werden.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. Thus, on one side of the contact carrier, the connection side, a conductor with the received in the cavity contact element can be conductively connected.
Auf der, der Anschlussseite gegenüberliegenden, als Steckseite ausgebildeten Seite ist das in der Kavität aufgenommene Kontaktelement zur Kontaktierung mit einem zweiten Kontaktträger vorgesehen. Der zweite Kontaktträger ist dabei vorzugsweise ebenfalls in einem Steckverbinder aufgenommen, welcher mit dem Steckverbinder des ersten Kontaktträgers verbindbar ist.On the side opposite the connection side, designed as a plug side, 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.
Je nach Ausführung des Steckverbinders und des Kontaktträgers ist es denkbar auch verschiedenartige Kontaktelemente in einem Kontaktträger anzuordnen. So kann die Kontaktierung und Übertragung von beispielsweise Leistungs- und Signalleitungen gleichzeitig realisiert werden.Depending on the design of the connector and the contact carrier, it is also conceivable to arrange various contact elements in a contact carrier. Thus, the contacting and transmission of, for example, power and signal lines can be realized simultaneously.
In einer besonderen Ausführung der Kontaktträger werden diese als Module ausgebildet. Mehrere dieser Module können zusammengefasst in einen Steckverbinder eingesetzt werden. Diese Ausführung ermöglicht es, nicht für jede spezielle Anwendung einen speziellen Kontaktträger für einen Steckverbinder herzustellen, sondern verschiedene Module mit verschiedenen Kontaktelementen miteinander zu kombinieren.In a particular embodiment of the contact carrier, these are designed as modules. Several of these modules can be combined into 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.
In einer weiteren Ausführung der modularen Steckverbinder werden einzelne Kontaktträger (Module) in einem Rahmen eingesetzt und von diesem zusammen gehalten. Der sogenannte Modularrahmen wird mit eingesetzten Modulen in einem Steckverbindergehäuse aufgenommen und bildet so den modularen Steckverbinder.In a further embodiment of the modular connector individual contact carrier (modules) are used in a frame and held together by this. The so-called modular frame is accommodated with inserted modules in a connector housing and thus forms the modular connector.

Die Durchschrift
Nachteilig wirkt sich bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten, modularen und nicht-modularen Isolierkörpern für Steckverbinder aus, das beim Kontaktieren des Steckverbinders mit einem Gegensteckverbinder ein Mindestmaß an Genauigkeit erforderlich ist. Eine fehlerfreie Kontaktierung ist nur möglich, wenn die Ausrichtung von Steckverbinder und Gegensteckerbinder nicht zu groß aufweicht.A disadvantage of these known from the prior art, modular and non-modular insulators for connectors, which is required when contacting the connector with a mating connector a minimum of accuracy. An error-free contact is only possible if the orientation of the connector and mating connector binder does not soften too much.
Dies ist jedoch gerade dann nicht immer gewährleistet, wenn die Kontaktierung von Steckverbindern nicht manuell, d.h. per Hand durch einen Anwender, sondern automatisch vorgenommen wird. Sehr oft werden Steckverbindungen von Robotern, zusammen mit Maschinenteilen oder anderen Maschinen hergestellt. Wenn beispielsweise bei großen Industrieanlagen ganze Maschinenmodule gewechselt werden, müssen beim Zusammenfügen der Maschinenbauteile die Steckverbinder mit sehr kleinen Toleranzen zueinander ausgerichtet sein.However, this is not always guaranteed even if the contacting of connectors is not manual, i. done manually by a user, but automatically. Very often, 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.
Ist dies nicht der Fall kommt es im schlimmsten Fall zur Zerstörung des Steckverbinders, wenn die Isolierkörper nicht richtig ineinander gleiten und stattdessen aufeinander aufsetzen. Ein solcher Fehler kann in einer großen Anlage nur schwer abgefangen werden.If this is not the case, it comes in the worst case, the destruction of the connector, if the insulator does not slide properly into each other and instead put on each other. Such an error is difficult to intercept in a large plant.
Umso relevanter wird dieses Problem dann, wenn es sich um modulare Steckverbindersysteme handelt. Da jedes einzelne Steckverbindermodul eine gewisse Toleranz und Spiel aufweist, addieren sich diese Toleranzen. Im schlimmsten Fall ist eine Kontaktierung mehrerer modularer Steckverbinder gar nicht ohne menschliches Eingreifen möglich.This problem becomes all the more relevant when it comes to modular connector systems. Since each individual connector module has a certain tolerance and clearance, these tolerances add up. In the worst case, contacting multiple modular connectors is not possible without human intervention.
Speziell treten derartige Fehlsteckungen auf, wenn die Toleranzen von rechteckigen oder quadratischen Kontaktträgern in zwei Raumdimensionen ausgereizt werden. Bei einem System zweier kontaktierbarer Kontaktträger welche in zwei Richtungen über eine Toleranz von jeweils 0,5 mm verfügen dürfen, ist bei maximaler Ausnutzung dieser Toleranz in beide Richtungen einen effektiven Versatz in diagonaler Richtung zwischen den beiden Richtungen von 0,71 mm
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein System aus einem Kontaktträger und einem korrespondierenden Kontaktträger vorzustellen, bei dem der Kontaktträger die Nachteile der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kontaktträger und Steckverbinder eliminiert oder zumindest minimiert. Dabei soll der Kontaktträger mit dem korrespondierenden Kontaktträger eines zweiten Steckverbinders einfach ineinander zusammengeführt werden können. Das Risiko des gegenseitigen Aufsetzens der Kontaktträger aufeinander soll auch bei ungenauer Kontaktierung minimiert werden.The object of the invention is to present a system comprising a contact carrier and a corresponding contact carrier, in which the contact carrier eliminates or at least minimizes the disadvantages of the contact carriers and connectors known from the prior art. In this case, the contact carrier with the corresponding contact carrier of a second connector should be able to be simply merged into each other. The risk of mutual contact of the contact carrier to each other should be minimized even with inaccurate contact.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is solved by the characterizing features of independent claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Bei dem Kontaktträger handelt es sich um einen im Wesentlichen rechteckigen oder quadratischen Grundkörper. Der Grundkörper ist in einen Haltebereich und einen Steckbereich unterteilt. Eine oder mehrere Kavitäten sich im Kontaktträger so vorgesehen, dass sie den Kontaktträger vollständig durchdringen und bereichsweise im Haltebereich sowie dem Steckbereich angeordnet sind.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 area and the plug-in area.
Die Kavitäten sind zur Aufnahme von Kontaktelementen vorgesehen, wobei die Kontaktelemente im Haltebereich des Kontaktträgers befestigt und gehalten sind. Bei den Kontaktelementen kann es sich wahlweise um elektrische, pneumatische oder optische Kontaktelemente handeln. Vorzugsweise sind die Kontaktelemente so ausgebildet, dass sie mit dem im Haltebereich angeordneten Teil mit einem anzuschließenden Leiter verbindbar sind. Der angeschlossene Leiter kann im Haltebereich des Kontaktträgers die Kavität verlassen.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. Preferably, 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.
Bei der Verwendung von elektrischen Kontaktelementen ist zweckmäßig den Kontaktträger aus einem isolierenden Material herzustellen um eine elektrische Isolierung der Kontaktelemente zueinander sicherzustellen.When using electrical contact elements is expedient to produce the contact carrier of an insulating material to ensure electrical insulation of the contact elements to each other.
Der Haltebereich des Kontaktträgers verfügt an seiner Außenseite zweckmäßig über Mittel welche zur Befestigung des Kontaktträgers in einem Steckverbinder geeignet sind. Die Mittel können als Befestigungsflansch ausgebildet sein, um den Kontaktträger mit Schrauben oder ähnlichen Hilfsmitteln in einem Steckverbindergehäuse zu befestigen.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.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform wäre, im Bereich der modularen Steckverbinder am Kontaktträger Anformungen vorzusehen mittels welcher der Kontaktträger formschlüssig in z.B. einem Halterahmen aufgenommen werden kann.A further embodiment would be to provide projections in the area of the modular plug connectors on the contact carrier by means of which the contact carrier can be positively locked in e.g. a holding frame can be added.
Die Steckseite des Kontaktträgers weist zumindest vier Seitenflächen auf, welche sich vom Haltebereich weg erstrecken und von einer, die Steckseite abschließende Deckfläche abgeschlossen werden. In der Deckfläche sind Öffnungen der Kavitäten vorgesehen, welche sich durch den Kontaktträger erstrecken. Durch die Öffnungen sind der Zugang und die Kontaktierung der Kontaktelemente in den Kavitäten gewährleistet.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. In the top surface openings of the cavities are provided, which extend through the contact carrier. The openings ensure access and contacting of the contact elements in the cavities.
Zwischen den Seitenflächen und der Deckfläche bildet der Kontaktträger eine umlaufende Kante. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Kante mit einer als Einführschräge dienenden Fase versehen. Durch die Einführschräge wird die Aufgabe der Erfindung gelöst, die Stecksicherheit zu erhöhen und Fehlsteckungen durch aufeinander aufsetzende Kontaktträger zu verhindern.Between the side surfaces and the top surface of the contact carrier forms a circumferential edge. According to the invention, the edge is provided with a bevel serving as a chamfer. Through the insertion bevel, the object of the invention is achieved to increase the plug security and to prevent mishaps by successive contact pad.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform weist die Einführschräge am Kontaktträger eine Dimensionierung quer zur Steckrichtung zwischen 0,2 mm und 2,5 mm auf. In einer an die Norm EN 175301-801:2006 angepassten Ausführungsform ist die Einführschräge zumindest 0,5 mm quer zur Steckrichtung breit. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist die Einführschräge zwischen 0,3 mm und 0,8 mm quer zur Steckrichtung breit.In an expedient embodiment, the insertion bevel on the contact carrier has a dimensioning transverse to the insertion direction between 0.2 mm and 2.5 mm. In an embodiment adapted to the EN 175301-801: 2006 standard, the lead-in bevel is at least 0.5 mm across the direction of insertion. In a preferred embodiment, the insertion bech between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm across the direction of insertion is wide.
Die Auslegung der Einführschräge im 45° Winkel hat sich als besonders zweckmäßig erwiesen. Aber auch sind Einführschrägen mit Winkeln zwischen 20° und 70° denkbar. Vorteilhaft sind Einführschrägen im Bereich zwischen 35° und 55°.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 °.
Der Kontaktträger ist erfindungsgemäß so ausgebildet, dass zwischen jeweils zwei aneinanderstoßenden Seitenflächen keine Kante, sondern ein Radius gebildet wird. In dieser Ausführung des Kontaktträges ist das Problem von Fehlsteckungen beim Zusammenführen mit einem weiteren Kontaktträger besonders groß.The contact carrier according to the invention is designed so that no edge, but a radius is formed between each two abutting side surfaces. In this embodiment of the Kontaktträges the problem of mishaps when merging with another contact carrier is particularly large.
Durch die abgerundeten Kanten zwischen den Seitenflächen bildet die die Einführschräge ausbildende Fase an der Deckfläche ebenfalls einen Radius. Bei einer einheitlich umlaufenden Fase von beispielsweise 0,5 mm ergibt sich bei maximalem Versatz vom Kontaktträger zu einem korrespondierenden Kontaktträger in x- und in y-Richtung um jeweils 0,5 mm ein effektiver Versatz in diagonaler Richtung (in Richtung der abgerundeten Kante zwischen den Seitenflächen) von 0,71 mm (Versatz =
Da die umlaufende Einführschräge jedoch nur 0,5 mm Versatz an jedem Punkt erlaubt, ist der Kontaktträger mit dem korrespondierenden Kontaktträger nicht steckbar. Um diesen Fehler zu eliminieren, verfügt der Kontaktträger erfindungsgemäß im Bereich der abgerundeten Kanten zwischen den Seitenflächen über eine stufenförmige Ausnehmung in der Deckfläche. So wird ein Aufsetzten des Kontaktträgers auf den korrespondierenden Kontaktträger verhindert.However, since the circumferential insertion be allowed only 0.5 mm offset at each point, the contact carrier with the corresponding contact carrier is not pluggable. To eliminate this error, 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 the corresponding contact carrier.
Die stufenförmige Ausnehmung ist zweckmäßig in selber Dimension wie die Einführschräge am Kontaktträger ausgeführt. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass auch bei maximalem Versatz zweier Kontaktträger zueinander ein Aufsetzten im abgerundeten Eckbereich verhindert wird.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.
Derartiger Versatz von Steckverbindern ist auch in der Normung gefordert. Somit müssen Steckverbinder nach der EN 175301-801:2006 einen Versatz von 0,5 mm in Längs- und Querrichtung ausgleichen können. Dies ist wie bereits beschrieben mit einer Einführschräge von 0,5 mm nicht möglich. Um die Einführschrägen nicht unnötig groß gestalten zu müssen erfüllt ein Steckverbinder nach der Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung die Anforderungen der EN 175301-801:2006.Such misalignment of connectors is also required in standardization. Thus, connectors in accordance with EN 175301-801: 2006 must be able to compensate for an offset of 0.5 mm 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, a connector according to the teachings of the present invention fulfills the requirements of EN 175301-801: 2006.
