Definitions

  • the invention is based on a catch for plug contacts according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
  • Such catches are required to lock plug contacts in insulators of connectors and secure there. By a latching of the contacts further attachment of the plug contacts in the insulating body is no longer necessary. Such, automatic locking saves time and effort in the assembly, which can be made without the aid of tools.
  • the DE 10 2006 004 782 B4 discloses such an insulating body for receiving plug contacts.
  • locking arms with locking shoulders is produced by means of two, interlocking mandrels.
  • the latching shoulders of the latching arms protrude into the insulating body such that an inserted plug-in contact latches behind it.
  • the DE 10 2009 053 778 A1 represents an electrical connector, which is designed for mating with a complementary connector and has corresponding locking members.
  • an electrical connector which has a contact fuse.
  • the contact fuse has at least one elastic contact lance, which latches in the interior of the connector.
  • the EP 1 339 138 A1 describes a complete connector with a connector position assurance, which consists of a holding element and a locking element.
  • a deflection of the latching arm can be done not only by a tool, but also increased force influence on the plug itself. When this acts simultaneously on the locking shoulder and is rotated, the resultant force generates a deflection of the locking arm and thus releases the plug contact unintentionally.
  • the object of the invention is thus to design the locking for plug contacts so that the known from the prior art disadvantages are eliminated. Plug contacts should remain securely locked even when forces and moments occur.
  • a latch for plug contacts of connectors In the invention is a latch for plug contacts of connectors.
  • the latching is accommodated in an insulating housing, in which the plug contacts are used.
  • the housing has at least one contact opening, which serves to receive a plug contact.
  • the insulating housing directly forms the connector housing is in turn received in a connector housing.
  • the latching is formed from at least one latching arm which projects into the at least one contact opening of the housing.
  • the latching arm is made in one piece with the insulating body.
  • the latching arm has a fixed end, with which it is fastened in the contact opening is.
  • the second end of the latching arm forms a free end which is movable against the spring stiffness of the latching arm.
  • a latching shoulder is provided at the free end of the latching arm.
  • the latching shoulder is aligned approximately at right angles to the latching arm and projects into the contact opening such that an inserted plug-in contact can be latched behind it.
  • the plug contact preferably engages with a cable connection side behind the latching shoulder.
  • the plug contact during insertion into the contact opening is passed completely past the latching shoulder.
  • By an insertion bevel on the locking shoulder this is pushed away laterally by the plug contact against the spring force of the locking arm. Behind the plug contact the latching shoulder snaps back by the spring force of the latching arm behind the plug contact and secures it from pulling out.
  • an additional locking lug is formed on the locking shoulder. This is aligned in the direction of the fixed end of the locking arm.
  • the locking lug is designed so that it engages in a cable receiving opening of the plug contact.
  • the plug contact is located in a pocket, which is formed by locking arm, locking shoulder and locking lug. Only by brief, further insertion of the plug contact in the contact opening, the plug contact releases the latch and an opening of the latch is possible.
  • the present invention solves the problem initially formed in that by a latching arm, which only then deflected and can release a plug contact when no force through the plug contact is exercised on the latching shoulder. Much more is the deflection of the locking arm with increasing force on the locking shoulder more difficult.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section of a sectional view through a connector, with a latch for a plug contact 5 as known from the prior art.
  • the insulating housing 10 of the connector forms a contact opening (upper portion of the figure) in which the plug contact 5 is inserted.
  • a resilient latching arm 1 is integrally formed on the insulating housing 10.
  • the latching arm 1 is designed to be resilient, so that a free end of the latching arm 1 is movable, relative to a fixed end.
  • the free end of the latching arm 1 is provided with a latching shoulder 2.
  • the Locking shoulder 2 projects, linearly aligned with the deflection direction of the free end of the contact arm 1, in the contact opening.
  • the recorded plug contact 5 locked with a cable receiving side 6 behind the locking shoulder 2. Pulling out of the plug contact in the direction of the locking shoulder is only possible by deflecting the entire latching arm 1.
  • FIG. 2 is a catch for a plug contact 5 according to the present invention in itself view as FIG. 1 shown. The execution is largely consistent with the FIG. 1 match.
  • a locking lug 3 is provided according to the invention. The locking lug 3 is aligned along the latching arm 1 in the direction of its fixed end.
  • the locking lug 3 prevents deflection by the intervention in the cable receiving side 6 of the plug contact. In order to enable a deflection and thus release of the plug-in contact 5, it must first be further inserted into the contact opening of the insulating housing 10 until the locking lug 3 is released.
  • FIG. 3 The locking known from the prior art FIG. 1 is in the FIG. 3 shown in a detailed spatial view. The disadvantages of this solution are illustrated here. By introducing two forces on the plug contact 5, this can be released from the catch.
