Definitions

  • the invention relates to a seal for a housing of a plug-type connector with an annular seal body, wherein the seal comprises at least one mounting projection for mounting the seal to the housing.
  • the invention further relates to a housing for a plug-type connector, the housing comprising an annular sealing section for receiving a seal, the annular sealing section being arranged circumferentially along a receptacle for a mating connector, wherein the housing comprises at least one mounting compartment for receiving at least one mounting projection of the seal.
  • the invention also relates to a housing for a plug-type connector, the housing comprising an annular sealing section with an annular seal, the annular seal being arranged circumferentially around the housing, wherein the housing comprises at least one mounting compartment and wherein the seal comprises at least one mounting projection for mounting the seal to the housing.
  • Seals and housings for plug-type connectors are well-known in the technical field of connectors. In order to achieve reliable sealing and connecting properties, it is intended to keep the seal at a defined position with respect to the housing.
  • Several solutions are known in the prior art for mounting a seal to a housing. In general, a third element is used, which is fixated to the housing after the seal is placed in a defined position, so that the seal is arranged between a part of the housing and the additional element by a positive fit.
  • Another solution is to provide the housing with projections which project in a radial direction and wherein the seal comprises a circumferential notch on its inner side.
  • the seal For mounting the seal to the housing, the seal is slid over the housing until the projections enter the notch and the seal is kept in place in the desired position. It is also known to provide the seal with circumferentially extending flaps which can be clamped between the housing and an additional element. These technical solutions are known to be sufficient to keep a seal in place. However, there are known drawbacks of the mentioned solutions. The need for additional elements results in a complex production and complicated assembly of a housing or a seal. Projections which enter into notches on inner sides of the seal bear the risk of damaging the seal during assembly. Further, said flaps may require large and bulky housings.
  • this object is reached in that at least one mounting projection projects from the body of the seal in an axial direction.
  • the seal can be mounted by the at least one mounting projection to the housing.
  • One advantage of this solution is that there is no need for additional fixation elements. Also, the risk of damaging the seal during assembly can be reduced. Further, the at least one mounting projection which projects in an axial direction of the seal may allow the production of a space-saving housing.
  • the object of the invention is reached in that the at least one mounting compartment extends further along an axial direction of the housing than the remaining annular sealing section.
  • This arrangement allows the housing to be used with seals which comprise mounting projections that extend in the axial direction.
  • the mounting projections from the seal may be received in the mounting compartment which is at least partially displaced from the annular sealing section in the axial direction.
  • the risk of damaging a seal body during assembly can be reduced.
  • the arrangement of the mounting compartment displaced from the annular sealing section may allow the production of space-saving housings.
  • the object is reached in that the at least one mounting compartment extends further along an axial direction of the housing than the remaining annular sealing section, in that the at least one mounting projection from the seal is received in the at least one mounting compartment, and in that the mounting compartment and the mounting projection are engaged in a positive fit with respect to the axial direction.
  • This solution may provide a space-saving housing with a securely fixated seal and may decrease the risk of damages to the seal.
  • further improvements of the invention are described. The additional improvements may be combined independently of each other, depending on whether a particular advantage of a particular improvement is needed in a specific application.
  • the seal may have an overall elongated shaped along the axial direction.
  • the seal body may have an overall shape of a section of a tube or a sleeve. This can be advantageous for an effective sealing.
  • a secure fixation of the seal to a housing can be achieved when the at least one mounting projection is adapted for being engaged with a part of the housing.
  • the annular seal body may have an end face facing into the axial direction, and the at least one mounting projection may project from said end face.
  • the end face may be used for abutting the seal body to a part of the housing for an effective sealing.
