Description

Elektrischer Steckverbinder  Electrical connector
Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder mit einem hohlzylindrischen Gehäuse und mit einer radial innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordneten Kontakthülse in Form eines Hohlzylinders mit einer Mantelwandung zum Herstellen eines mechanischen und elektrischen Kontaktes mit einem Gegensteckverbinder, wobei an der Mantelwandung der Kontakthülse mindestens eine federelastisch auslenkbare Kontaktfederzunge mit einem freien Ende derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass das freie Ende in Richtung radial nach innen die Mantelwandung der Kontakthülse überragt und eine Kontaktfläche zum elektrischen und mechanischen Kontaktieren des Gegensteckverbinders ausbildet, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. The invention relates to an electrical connector with a hollow cylindrical housing and with a radially arranged inside the housing contact sleeve in the form of a hollow cylinder with a jacket wall for producing a mechanical and electrical contact with a mating connector, wherein on the outer wall of the contact sleeve at least one resiliently deflectable contact spring tongue with a free end is arranged and formed such that the free end projects radially inwardly beyond the jacket wall of the contact sleeve and forms a contact surface for the electrical and mechanical contacting of the mating connector, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Steckverbinder, insbesondere Koaxial-Steckverbinder, dienen der lösbaren Verbindung von Koaxialkabeln. Koaxial-Steckverbinder sind wie Koaxialkabel koaxial ausgeführt, damit sie die Vorteile der Koaxialkabel aufweisen, nämlich geringe elektromagnetische Beeinflussung und Abstrahlung sowie gute elektrische Abschirmung sowie eine Impedanz, die derjenigen des angeschlossenen Koaxialkabels entspricht, um Reflexionen an der Übergangsstelle zwischen Koaxial- Steckverbinder und Koaxialkabel zu vermeiden. Unter einem Koaxialkabel, kurz auch Koaxkabel, wird dabei ein zweipoliges Kabel mit konzentrischem Aufbau verstanden, das einen Innenleiter (auch Seele genannt) aufweist, der in konstantem Abstand von einem hohlzylindrischen Außenleiter umgeben ist. Der Außenleiter schirmt den Innenleiter vor elektromagnetischer Störstrahlung ab. In dem Zwischenraum zwischen dem Innenleiter und dem Außenleiter ist ein Isolator oder Dielektrikum angeordnet. Connectors, in particular coaxial connectors, serve for the detachable connection of coaxial cables. Coaxial connectors, such as coaxial cables, are coaxial to have the advantages of coaxial cables, namely low electromagnetic interference and radiation, as well as good electrical shielding and impedance equal to that of the coaxial cable connected, to reflect reflections at the interface between coaxial connectors and coaxial cables avoid. Under a coaxial cable, in short, too Coax cable, is understood to mean a two-pole cable with a concentric structure, which has an inner conductor (also called the soul), which is surrounded at a constant distance by a hollow cylindrical outer conductor. The outer conductor shields the inner conductor from electromagnetic interference. In the space between the inner conductor and the outer conductor, an insulator or dielectric is arranged.
Koaxial-Steckverbinder sind dazu ausgebildet, einen vorbestimmten Wellenwiderstand, z.B. vom 50 Ω, bereitzustellen, um eine reflexionsfreie Übertragung von HF-Signalen zu gewährleisten. Der Wellenwiderstand eines Koaxial-Steckverbinders hängt u.a. von dem Verhältnis des Innendurchmessers des Außenleiters und dem Durchmesser des Innenleiters ab. Eine elektrische Anbindung eines Koaxialkabels an einen Koaxial-Steckverbinder erfordert daher an die jeweiligen Innendurchmesser und Außendurchmesser des Koaxialkabels angepasste Koaxial-Steckverbinder. Coaxial connectors are designed to provide a predetermined characteristic impedance, e.g. of 50 Ω, to ensure reflection-free transmission of RF signals. The characteristic impedance of a coaxial connector depends i.a. from the ratio of the inner diameter of the outer conductor and the diameter of the inner conductor. An electrical connection of a coaxial cable to a coaxial connector therefore requires the respective inner diameter and outer diameter of the coaxial cable adapted coaxial connector.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Steckverbinder hinsichtlich der Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Beschädigung aufgrund äußerer Krafteinwirkung zu verbessern. The invention has for its object to improve an electrical connector in terms of resistance to damage due to external force.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen elektrischen Steckverbinder der o.g. Art mit den in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen beschrieben. Dazu ist es bei einem elektrischen Steckverbinder der o.g. Art erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass am Außenumfang der Mantelwandung der Kontakthülse mindestens drei Rippen ausgebildet sind, die die Mantelwandung in Richtung radial nach außen überragen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei in den elektrischen Steckverbinder eingestecktem Gegensteckverbinder bei Schrägzug auf den Gegensteckverbinder sich die Kontakthülse mit den Rippen innen am Gehäuse abstützt und dadurch eine Beschädigung der Kontakthülse bzw. der federelastischen Kontaktfederzungen wirksam vermieden ist. Einen besonders einfach herzustellenden Steckverbinder erzielt man dadurch, dass jede Kontaktfederzunge mittels einer U-förmigen Ausnehmung in der Mantelwandung der Kontakthülse ausgebildet ist. This object is achieved by an electrical connector of the type mentioned above with the features characterized in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the further claims. For this purpose, it is provided according to the invention in an electrical connector of the aforementioned type, that at least three ribs are formed on the outer circumference of the jacket wall of the contact sleeve, which project beyond the jacket wall in the direction radially outward. This has the advantage that when plugged into the electrical connector mating connector at diagonal pull on the mating connector, the contact sleeve with the ribs inside the housing is supported and thereby damage to the contact sleeve and the resilient contact spring tongues is effectively avoided. A particularly simple to produce connector is achieved in that each contact spring tongue is formed by means of a U-shaped recess in the jacket wall of the contact sleeve.
Eine gleichmäßige und stabile Abstützung der Kontakthülse an der Innenseite des Gehäuses erzielt man dadurch, dass die Rippen in Umfangsrichtung bezüglich der Mantelwandung der Kontakthülse gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet sind. Ein besonders guter Halt der Kontakthülse in dem Gehäuse mittels einer Rückstellkraft aufgrund einer elastischen Verformung der Kontakthülse im Bereich der Rippen erzielt man dadurch, dass ein Außendurchmesser der Kontakthülse im Bereich der Rippen größer ist als ein Innendurchmesser des Gehäuses. Eine einfache Herstellung erzielt man dadurch, dass die Kontakthülse als ein Stanz- Biegeteil hergestellt ist. A uniform and stable support of the contact sleeve on the inside of the housing is achieved in that the ribs in the circumferential direction with respect to the jacket wall of the contact sleeve are evenly spaced from each other. A particularly good hold of the contact sleeve in the housing by means of a restoring force due to elastic deformation of the contact sleeve in the region of the ribs is achieved in that an outer diameter of the contact sleeve in the region of the ribs is greater than an inner diameter of the housing. A simple production is achieved in that the contact sleeve is made as a stamped and bent part.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. This shows in
Fig. 1 eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an electrical according to the invention
Steckverbinders in gestecktem Zustand mit einem Gegensteckverbinder in Schnittansicht und eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform einer Kontakthülse für einen erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinder in perspektivischer Ansicht.  Connector in the inserted state with a mating connector in a sectional view and a preferred embodiment of a contact sleeve for an electrical connector according to the invention in a perspective view.
Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte, bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinders weist ein Gehäuse 10 auf, welches hohlzylinderförmig ausgebildet ist und in seinem Innenraum eine Kontakthülse 12 aufnimmt. Die Kontakthülse 12 ist ebenfalls hohlzylinderförmig ausgebildet und in Fig. 2 näher dargestellt. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, ist der elektrische Steckverbinder zum steckenden Verbinden in axialer Richtung mit einem Gegensteckverbinder 100 ausgebildet, so dass ein elektrischer und mechanischer Kontakt zwischen dem elektrischen Steckverbinder und dem Gegensteckverbinder hergestellt wird. Dieser Gegensteckverbinder 100 weist eine Außenfläche 110 auf, die in gestecktem Zustand einer Innenseite der Kontakthülse 12 zugewandt ist. The illustrated in Fig. 1, preferred embodiment of an electrical connector according to the invention comprises a housing 10 which is formed in a hollow cylinder and receives a contact sleeve 12 in its interior. The contact sleeve 12 is also hollow cylindrical and shown in Fig. 2 in more detail. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the electrical connector for plug-in connection in the axial direction with a mating connector 100 formed so that an electrical and mechanical contact between the electrical connector and the mating connector is made. This mating connector 100 has an outer surface 110, which faces an inner side of the contact sleeve 12 in the plugged state.
Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, weist die Kontakthülse 12 eine Mantelwandung 14 und drei an der Mantelwandung 14 ausgebildete federelastisch auslenkbare Kontaktfederzungen 16 auf. Jede Kontaktfederzunge 16 ist durch eine U-förmige Ausnehmung 18 in der Mantelwandung 14 ausgebildet und somit einseitig formschlüssig mit der Mantelwandung 14 verbunden. Mit anderen Worten ist jede Kontaktfederzunge 16 ein Teil der Mantelwandung 14, jedoch relativ zu dieser verformt. Weiterhin weist jede Kontaktfederzunge 16 ein freies Ende 20 auf, welches eine elektrische Kontaktfläche 22 ausbildet. Diese elektrische Kontaktfläche 22 kommt beim Einstecken des Gegensteckverbinders 100 in elektrischen und mechanischen Kontakt mit der Außenfläche 1 0 des Gegensteckverbinder 100. Die gesamte Kontakthülse 12 ist bevorzugt aus einem federelastischen, elektrisch leitfähigen Werkstoff hergestellt. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the contact sleeve 12 has a jacket wall 14 and three spring-elastically deflectable contact spring tongues 16 formed on the jacket wall 14. Each contact spring tongue 16 is formed by a U-shaped recess 18 in the casing wall 14 and thus one-sided positively connected to the casing wall 14. In other words, each contact spring tongue 16 is a part of the jacket wall 14, but deformed relative thereto. Furthermore, each contact spring tongue 16 has a free end 20, which forms an electrical contact surface 22. This electrical contact surface 22 comes upon insertion of the mating connector 100 in electrical and mechanical contact with the outer surface 1 0 of the mating connector 100. The entire contact sleeve 12 is preferably made of a resilient, electrically conductive material.
Die Kontaktfederzungen 16 sind derart ausgebildet, dass diese in entlastetem Zustand mit dem jeweiligen freien Ende 20 in Richtung radial nach innen die Mantelwandung 14 der Kontakthülse 12 überragen. Durch das Einschieben des Gegensteckverbinders 100 werden die Kontaktfederzungen 16 durch den mechanischen Kontakt mit der Außenfläche 110 des Gegensteckverbinders 100 federelastisch radial bzgl. der Kontakthülse 12 nach außen ausgelenkt, so dass sich eine federelastisch Rückstellkraft ergibt, die als Kontaktkraft zusammen mit der elektrischen Kontaktfläche 22 einen elektrischen Kontakt mit der Außenfläche 110 des Gegensteckverbinders 100 herstellt. The contact spring tongues 16 are formed such that they protrude in the unloaded state with the respective free end 20 in the direction radially inwardly the jacket wall 14 of the contact sleeve 12. By the insertion of the mating connector 100, the contact spring tongues 16 are elastically deflected by the mechanical contact with the outer surface 110 of the mating connector 100 resiliently radially. The contact sleeve 12 to the outside, so that there is a resilient restoring force, the contact force together with the electrical contact surface 22 a makes electrical contact with the outer surface 110 of the mating connector 100.
Erfindungsgemäß sind an der Mantelwandung 14 der Kontakthülse 12 radial außen Rippen 24 ausgebildet, die beispielsweise mittels Stanzen hergestellt werden. Diese Rippen 24 überragen die Mantelwandung 14 der Kontakthülse 12 in Richtung radial nach außen und liegen dadurch an einer Innenwandung 26 des Gehäuses 10 an (Fig. 1). In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind drei Rippen 24 vorgesehen, welche sich in axialer Richtung bzgl. der Kontakthülse 12 über einen vorbestimmten axialen Abschnitt der Kontakthülse 12 erstrecken. Diese Rippen 24 sind in Umfangsrichtung bzgl. der Kontakthülse 12 gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet, d.h. zwei in Umfangsrichtung bzgl. der Kontakthülse 12 benachbarte Rippen 24 sind um einen Winkel von 120° in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt. Durch diese gleichmäßige Verteilung von drei Rippen 24 ergibt sich eine definierte Position der Kontakthülse 12 innerhalb des Gehäuses 10 und die Kontakthülse 12 kann sich in alle Richtung gleichermaßen am Gehäuse abstützen. According to the invention, ribs 24 are formed on the outer wall 14 of the contact sleeve 12 radially on the outside, which are produced, for example, by means of stamping. These ribs 24 project beyond the jacket wall 14 of the contact sleeve 12 in a radially outward direction and thereby abut against an inner wall 26 of the housing 10 (FIG. 1). In the illustrated embodiment, three ribs 24 are provided which are in the axial direction with respect to. The contact sleeve 12 via a predetermined axial portion of the contact sleeve 12 extend. These ribs 24 are in the circumferential direction with respect to. The contact sleeve 12 evenly spaced from each other, ie. In the circumferential direction. The contact sleeve 12 adjacent ribs 24 are offset by an angle of 120 ° in the circumferential direction to each other. This uniform distribution of three ribs 24 results in a defined position of the contact sleeve 12 within the housing 10 and the contact sleeve 12 can be equally supported in all directions on the housing.
Wenn, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, eine Schrägzugkraft 28 auf den Gegensteckverbinder 100 wirkt, wobei die Schrägzugkraft 28 im wesentlichen senkrecht zu einer Längsachse 30 der Kontakthülse 12 gerichtet ist, stützt sich die Kontakthülse mittels der Rippen 24 im Gehäuse 10 ab und kann somit nicht beschädigt werden. Es ist ein Auslenken des Gegensteckverbinders 100 bei Auftreten der Schrägzugkraft 28 verhindert und dementsprechend vermieden, dass die Kontaktfederzungen 16 überdehnt oder beschädigt werden. Hierbei ist durch die gleichmäßige Anordnung der drei Rippen 24 gewährleitet, das die Funktion des Abstützens gewährleitet ist, unabhängig davon, in welche radiale Richtung die Schrägzugkraft 28 wirkt. Mit anderen Worten bleibt die koaxiale Anordnung von Gehäuse 10, Kontakthülse 12 und Gegensteckverbinder 100 auch bei auftreten von Schrägzugkräften 28 im Wesentlichen erhalten. If, as shown in Fig. 1, a biasing force 28 acts on the mating connector 100, wherein the oblique pulling force 28 is directed substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 30 of the contact sleeve 12, the contact sleeve is supported by means of the ribs 24 in the housing 10 and thus can not be damaged. It is a deflection of the mating connector 100 prevents occurrence of the biasing force 28 and, accordingly, prevents the contact spring tongues 16 are overstretched or damaged. This is ensured by the uniform arrangement of the three ribs 24, which ensures the function of supporting, regardless of the radial direction in which the oblique tensile force 28 acts. In other words, the coaxial arrangement of the housing 10, the contact sleeve 12 and mating connector 100 is substantially retained even when skew forces 28 occur.
Die elektrischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften des erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinders bleiben daher auch bei von außen auftreten Kräften auf den Steckverbinder in gestecktem Zustand mit dem Gegensteckverbinder 100 erhalten. The electrical and mechanical properties of the electrical connector according to the invention therefore remain even when externally occurring forces on the connector in the plugged state with the mating connector 100 is obtained.
