Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector, comprising a connector and a mating connector mating therewith, wherein the connector has a contact carrier with at least one contact chamber and the mating connector has a contact carrier with at least one contact chamber, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Plug-in connections which consist of a plug connector and a mating connector which can be plugged together, are known in principle.
- both the connector and the mating connector are either designed geometrically in terms of their shape or have corresponding coding geometries, which allow the connector only in a single position, namely the positionally correct position with respect to the Mating connector can be inserted into this.
- such geometries of connector and mating connector or their respective encoding geometry are required to prevent misfitting errors.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a connector so that different connectors can be realized while preventing an increase in the variety of parts and the variety of parts is reduced.
- the plug connector has two coding geometries and the mating plug connector likewise has two coding geometries, one coding geometry of the plug connector cooperating with one coding geometry of the mating plug connector during mating and the other coding geometry of the plug connector cooperating with the coding geometry of the mating plug connector during mating.
- the connector by using two coding geometries on the connector and two coding geometries on the mating connector, it is advantageously possible for the connector to be inserted in the mating connector in the correct position when the one coding geometry of the connector with the associated coding geometry of the mating connector interacts.
- the two other encoding geometries namely one on the connector and the other on the mating connector, are designed so that they do not hinder the assembly operation. If the connector is inserted in a position other than previously assumed in the mating connector, the other two coding geometries on the connector and the mating connector come to fruition, the two first, previously described coding geometries on the connector and the mating connector does not interfere with this mating operation.
- the contact carrier of the connector and the contact carrier of the mating connector can be arranged in at least two different positions in their respective connector housing or mating connector housing.
- the connector can be inserted in the correct position in the mating connector, because this is the first coding geometry on the Connectors and the associated first coding geometry on the mating connector allow the mating process.
- the second encoding geometry on the connector and the second encoding geometry on the mating connector are designed so that they do not hinder the assembly operation.
- the contact carrier for example, the connector in a different position in the connector housing used (for example, depending on the geometry of connector housing or there usable contact carrier) by 90 degrees, 180 degrees or intermediate values thereof used, it allows the second coding geometry of the connector and the cooperating second coding geometry of the mating connector, that the mating operation can be performed, whereas in this case, then the first coding geometry of the connector and the cooperating first coding geometry of the connector does not hinder the mating operation.
- the mating connector can be used in the correct position and according to its coding in the connector due to the associated coding geometries, resulting in a clear assignment of the mating connector to the connector, a further embodiment of the invention will be described below, from which results not only a clear, but a one-to-one correspondence between connector and mating connector.
- the connector housing of the connector has a fifth coding geometry and the mating connector housing of the mating connector has a sixth coding geometry.
- This fifth and sixth coding geometry has the advantage that once the associated coding geometries of the first to fourth coding geometries match, the mating connector can be mated with the connector once when the contact carrier is in one position in the connector housing of the connector.
- the fifth and sixth coding geometries match in consideration of the other coding geometries, so that mating is possible. This is particularly important when the contact partners of connector and mating connector must be correctly assigned to each other. So z. B.
- the contact partner of the connector which is arranged at the end of a signal line, are mated with the corresponding contact partner of the mating connector, which is also arranged on a signal line est. If there is another contact partner in the connector, the z. B. is connected to a power supply line, it must be plugged together with the associated contact partner of the mating connector, which in turn is connected to the end of a power supply line and must not be mated with the contact partner, which is connected at the end of the signal line. For this purpose, the one-to-one assignment when mating the mating connector in the connector is absolutely necessary and beneficial.
- a connector 1 is shown in the two upper views, wherein the connector 1 a contact carrier 2 with at least one contact chamber 3 (here two contact chambers, wherein more than two contact chambers in a Row or more than one contact chamber in several rows one above the other are conceivable) is present.
- a contact carrier 2 with at least one contact chamber 3 (here two contact chambers, wherein more than two contact chambers in a Row or more than one contact chamber in several rows one above the other are conceivable) is present.
- an electrical contact partner for example, a contact pin, a contact socket or the like is used, but not shown.
- These contact partners are arranged at the end of a cable, also not shown, of a cable.
- the contact carrier 2 is used in a connector housing 4, wherein in particular contact carrier 2 and connector housing 4 are suitable and designed so that the contact carrier 2 can be used in at least two different positions in the connector housing 4.
- This arrangement of the contact carrier 2 in the connector housing 4, which is different by 180 degrees, is exemplary and particularly preferred, although other geometries of the contact carrier 2 and the connector housing 4 are also conceivable which allow other mutually different positions.
- the connector 1 that the connector 1, here preferably its contact carrier 2, has a first coding geometry 5 and a two coding geometry 6.
- the coding geometry 5 of the connector 1 and the coding geometry 6 of the connector 1 are designed differently.
- the coding geometry 5 is an approximately T-shaped geometry, while the coding geometry 6 is a recess of the contact carrier 2.
- the position of the two differently shaped coding geometries 5, 6 also changes by changing the arrangement of the contact carrier 2 in the connector housing 4.
- a mating connector 7 is shown, which is to be plugged together with the connector 1.
- the mating connector 7 has analogous to the connector 1 also has a contact carrier 8 with a corresponding number of contact chambers 9.
- the connector 1 also has the mating connector 7, preferably before its contact carrier 8, two Kodäticiansgeometrien 10, 11.
- the coding geometries 10, 11 of the mating connector 7 and its contact carrier 8 are designed differently from each other. However, it is important that the coding geometry 5 of the connector 1 corresponds to the coding geometry 10 of the mating connector 7, just as the coding geometry 6 of the connector 1 corresponds to the coding geometry 11 of the mating connector 7, that is to say in terms of its shapes.
- This fifth and sixth coding geometry 13, 14 on the respective outer housing of the connector 1 and mating connector 7 allows the correct position insertion of the mating connector 7 in the connector 1 in the event that the contact carrier 2 in a first position in the Connector housing 4 is inserted ( Figure 1: left upper view).
- the fifth and sixth coding geometries 13, 14 allow the mating connector 7 to be inserted into the connector 1 taking into account the other existing coding geometries.
- the contact carrier 2 is arranged in a different position in the connector housing 4 (FIG.
- the fifth coding geometry 13 on the connector 1 is formed as a bow 15 (also referred to as a bracket), which forms a space below, when the mating connector 7 with its mating connector housing 12 in the connector 1, more precisely its connector housing , has been inserted.
- Parts of the sixth coding geometry 14 can be introduced into these at least one space. These parts of the sixth coding geometry 14 are at least one web 17.
- the sheet 15 has on the connector housing 4 a latching tab 18 which points in the direction of the contact carrier 2 (not shown in FIG. 2).
- a latching tab 18 By this preferably centrally disposed on the sheet 15 locking tab 18 not only an underlying space for the sixth coding geometry 14 of the mating connector 7 is formed, but two parallel juxtaposed recesses 16. In these two mutually parallel recesses 16 in a corresponding manner to the Counter connector housing 12 arranged webs 7 are introduced. However, this is only possible if the fifth and sixth coding geometry 13, 14 match (by the webs 17 can be inserted into the recesses 16) and also the other coding geometries of the connector 1 and the mating connector 7 match.
- a locking tab 18 is present on the connector housing 4, more precisely on the sheet 15.
- This locking tab 18 is slightly projecting formed from the underside of the sheet 15 and may for example have a recess.
- a latching nose on the latching tab 19 engages in the corresponding recess of the latching tab 18. A separation of these two locking means, for example, only possible by means of a tool.
- FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the fifth and sixth coding geometries 13, 14 on the connector housing 4 and the mating connector housing 12, respectively. Although it is another embodiment of the coding geometries, the mode of operation and functionality are the same as with respect to the coding geometries 13, 14 to Figure 2 have been described.
