Definitions

  • the invention is based on a connector according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • Such connectors are used for connections for data transmission and / or telecommunications and / or network technology.
  • the known connectors have a lock in the form of a snap lock for contacting and decontacting.
  • This lock consists of a tab with which the connector is locked when it is contacted with a corresponding mating connector. The connector is decontacted again by pressing down the tab.
  • the snap lock makes the connector easy to connect and disconnect, but there is no protection against unauthorized contact and / or disconnection.
  • the US 7,695,303 B2 shows a connector for telecommunications and data transfer with a security means.
  • the securing means serves to protect against unauthorized contacting and decontacting of the connector.
  • the connector securing means can only be released using a special key.
  • the pamphlet DE 690 27 345 T2 discloses the preamble of claim 1. It shows a locking device for a connector system, consisting of a first and a second connector.
  • the locking device comprises at least one bendable locking arm molded as a unit with the first connector.
  • the locking device has a locking device connected to the second connector for engaging the locking arm and bending it when the connectors are coupled.
  • the stored energy developed by the initial deflection of the locking device is used by the locking device to push the connectors into their fully mated condition.
  • the locking device has a spring device connected to the locking arm and reinforcing it.
  • the object of the invention is to present a connector that has a fuse.
  • This fuse is intended to prevent unauthorized or accidental disconnection or loosening of the connector. Furthermore, deliberate decontacting should remain possible.
  • the present invention is a connector that has a housing.
  • the housing in turn has a plug-in side and a cable connection side.
  • the plug-in side and the cable connection side are arranged opposite one another. This means that the plug-in side is arranged at one end of the housing and the cable connection side is arranged at an end of the housing opposite the end of the plug-in side.
  • the plug-in side has one or more contacts arranged parallel to one another. This one contact or the plurality of contacts are used to produce one or more electrical connections. The connection is established by contacting the connector on the plug side with a mating connector.
  • An electrical cable can be connected to the cable connection side and inserted into the connector. Electrical conductors of the cable can be connected to the contacts on the plug-in side inside the connector.
  • At least one latching element is arranged on the housing of the connector.
  • the locking element is arranged laterally to the plug-in side.
  • the at least one latching element can be moved between a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position.
  • the first, locked position corresponds to a static position of the at least one latching element before contact is made and when contact is made with a mating connector.
  • the second, unlocked position corresponds to a dynamic position of the at least one latching element during a contacting process and during a decontacting process, the at least one latching element being automatically movable into the second, unlocked position during the contacting process.
  • Contacting refers to both the establishment of an electrical connection and the mechanical latching between the connector and the mating connector.
  • the at least one latching element can be moved between the two positions and is resiliently arranged on the housing.
  • the resilient arrangement is designed such that the at least one latching element is forced into the first, locked position.
  • the at least one locking element is integrally formed on the housing. Thanks to an advantageous spring effect of the material, the at least one locking element can be moved between the first, locked position and the second unlocked position.
  • the at least one locking element is formed from two spring arms. One end of the spring arm is connected to the housing. Another end of the spring arm is designed as a free, resilient end. The free ends of the at least one latching element are arranged closer to one another in the second, unlocked position than in the first, locked position.
  • the at least one latching element has two insertion bevels.
  • the at least one latching element can be moved into the second, unlocked position through these insertion bevels.
  • An insertion bevel is formed on a free end of the spring arms of the at least one locking element.
  • the insertion bevels are provided on the spring arms in such a way that when the plug connector is plugged into a mating connector, it acts on the insertion bevels in such a way that the spring arms move towards one another.
  • the at least one latching element has two openings - one on each spring arm.
  • the openings are preferably provided in the area of the end of the spring arm attached to the housing. By means of these two openings, the at least one latching element can be moved manually between the first, locked position and the second, unlocked position.
  • the at least one latching element is provided to be moved between the first, locked position and the second, unlocked position by means of a tool.
  • the tool is preferably a standardized, commercially available tool. Needle-nosed pliers or other tools with which the openings on the two spring arms are engaged can be used here can. By pressing the two openings together, the spring arms of the locking element are moved towards one another into the unlocked position.
  • the connector is an RJ45 connector.
  • the present invention solves the problem according to the invention by designing a connector with a latching element as a fuse.
  • the latching element provides protection against unauthorized loosening and disconnection of the connector.
  • the connector enables intentional decontacting without special tools.
  • the Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an RJ45 plug connector 1 according to the invention.
  • the plug connector 1 has a base body and a housing 2 with a plug side and a cable connection side.
  • the plug side and the cable connection side are opposite one another.
  • the base body is received in some areas in the housing 2 from the plug-in side.
  • a plurality of contacts 3 arranged parallel to one another are accommodated in the base body.
  • An electrical cable 4 is connected to the cable connection side and fed into the connector 1.
  • a latching element is formed on the housing 2 of the connector 1. It is arranged laterally to the base body and resiliently on the housing 2. The latching element is movable between a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position.
  • the at least one latching element is formed from two spring arms 5. One end of the spring arm 5 is connected to the housing 2. Another end of the spring arm 5 is designed as a free, resilient end.
  • Lead-in bevels 7 are formed on the free ends of the spring arms 5.
  • the insertion bevels 7 are provided on the spring arms 5 in such a way that when the connector 1 is plugged into a mating connector, the latter acts on the insertion bevels 7 in such a way that the spring arms 5 move towards one another.
  • the fixed ends of the spring arms 5 have two openings 6, one opening 6 for each spring arm 5. By means of these two openings 6, the at least one latching element can be moved manually between the first, locked position and the second, unlocked position.
  • the first, locked position thus describes the state of the at least one latching element when the connector 1 either, as shown in FIG. 1, has not yet come into contact with a mating connector or is completely locked with a mating connector.
  • the at least one latching element is in the second, unlocked position during the contacting or decontacting process with a mating connector.
  • an aid is used to move the free ends of the spring arms 5 from the first, locked position into the second, unlocked position. This aid is inserted into the openings 6.
  • This aid is, for example, a tool that opens when pressed together.
  • the aid can also be expanding pliers or circlip pliers. This enables the RJ45 connector 1 to be decontacted and released without the use of a specially manufactured or molded aid.
