Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insulating body for a plug connector, with at least one receptacle for a contact that is open in the circumferential direction and that surrounds a receptacle for the contact over an angular range that is more than 180 ° and less than 300 °.
  • Such a receptacle which is open on one side, offers the advantage that it is elastic, so that a contact can be pushed into it, which is then reliably held there.
  • it is disadvantageous that under certain circumstances a contact is pushed in at a slight angle when it is inserted, so that it is then not in the desired position concentrically in the receptacle, but rather sits at an angle.
  • an insulating body for a connector which has four receptacles open in the circumferential direction for a contact. Positioning webs protruding laterally over the receptacles are provided in one piece with the insulating body.
  • an insulating body for a connector which has a plurality of receptacles open in the circumferential direction. Slide-in guides in the form of projections are provided on the outside of each receptacle.
  • a connector which comprises an insulating body and at least one contact strip which is held individually and releasably in the insulating body.
  • the insulating body shown consists of at least two parts, one of the parts having elements for individual fixing and for holding the contacts.
  • the object of the invention is to develop an insulating body of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the assembly reliability for the contacts is increased with little effort.
  • an insulating body of the type mentioned at least one peripheral edge of the receptacle is provided with a guide web that is elastic in the radial direction of the receptacle, the wall thickness of which is greater at the free end than in the area of the connection to the receptacle, the inner surface facing the receptacle of the guide web is curved so that the inner surface rests against the inserted contact over a large area, i.e. without point contact.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that with a special configuration of the guide webs it is possible to make them comparatively filigree without having to use expensive special plastics in the manufacture of the insulating body.
  • a guide web thickened at its free end can be reliably molded in an injection molding process, even if the wall thickness of the guide web is in the order of magnitude of 0.4 to 0.8 mm.
  • Such a thin guide web can also be provided in confined spaces.
  • the guide bar ensures that the contact automatically enters the open receptacle correctly when it is inserted. This prevents incorrect assembly.
  • the guide web has a wall thickness at its free end which is between 20% and 70% greater than in the area of the connection to the receptacle. This increase in wall thickness ensures that there is enough material in the area of the free end of the guide bar so that it can be reliably injection molded.
  • two symmetrically opposite guide webs are provided. With two guide bars, a contact is optimally guided into the receptacle when it is inserted into the insulating body.
  • the free ends of the two guide webs are opposite one another at a distance which is in the order of magnitude of 10% to 40% of the diameter of the receptacle.
  • the guide web is curved. This leads to the guide bar resting evenly on the contact.
  • the outer surface of the guide web facing away from the receptacle runs concentrically to the central axis of the receptacle. This design of the outer surface results in a contour of the guide web that is advantageous in terms of injection molding.
  • Figure 1 shows an insulating body 5 for a plug connector, which is provided with a total of 15 receptacles 10 for contact (not shown here).
  • the insulating body is made of injection-molded plastic.
  • each receptacle 10 surrounds a receiving space 12 into which a contact with a circular cross section can be inserted.
  • the recording encloses the recording space for an angular range a which is noticeably larger than 180 ° but is less than 300 °.
  • the angle ⁇ is in the range from 210 ° to 240 °.
  • the inner surface 14 of the receptacle has an (at least almost) constant radius of curvature, the radius of curvature essentially corresponding to the radius of the contact to be made in the receptacle space 12.
  • the receiving space 12 actually has slightly smaller dimensions than the cross-section of the contact to be received, so that the contact slightly elastically expands the receptacle 10 when it is pushed into the receiving space 12.
  • a delimitation surface 18 each extends here.
  • a guide web 20 is provided in each case, which "extends" the inner surface 14.
  • the gap S between the opposite free ends of the two guide webs 20 is smaller than the distance between the two peripheral edges 16 of the receptacle 10.
  • the height of the guide webs 20, i.e. their extension along the axial direction of the receiving space 12, is less than the height of the receptacle 10.
  • the height of the guide webs 20 is slightly more than half the height of the receptacle 10.
  • the guide webs 20 are designed such that their wall thickness is greater at the free end than in the area of the connection to the receptacle 10.
  • the wall thickness W measured in the radial direction at the free end of the guide webs 20 is of the order of magnitude of 50% greater than the wall thickness in the area of the transition to the receptacle 10, i.e. in the area of the boundary plane B.
  • the guide webs 20 are aligned such that their inner surface 22 lies within the circular cylindrical contour K, which corresponds to the outer surface of a contact inserted into the receiving space 12.
  • the guide webs 20 in the initial state that is, when there is no contact in the receiving space 12 of the receptacle 10, protrude inwardly into the receiving space 12 with respect to a circular cylindrical contour.
  • the guide webs 20 are elastically displaced outwards from the contact (see the arrows P in Figure 4 Left).
  • the guide webs 20 exert a reaction force on the contact 30, which acts on it towards the side of the receiving space 12 facing away from the guide webs 20. This reliably ensures that the contact 30 finds its way into the receiving space 12, even if the receptacle 10 does not completely surround the contact over 360 °, but is open over a large part of its circumference.
  • the maximum wall thickness of the guide webs 20 is of the order of 0.4 to 0.8 mm. In the preferred embodiment, a wall thickness of 0.6 mm is used.
  • the special shape of the guide webs 20 with their thickened "head" at the free end makes it possible to use an injection molding process to produce the guide webs 20. This is likely to be due in particular to the fact that sufficient plastic flows through the narrowest cross section of the injection mold, i.e. in the area of the connection of the respective guide web to the receptacle 10, due to the thickened free end of the guide web 20, and the plastic does not solidify there prematurely .
