Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector with a hollow cylindrical housing and with a contact sleeve arranged radially inside the housing in the form of a hollow cylinder with a jacket wall for producing mechanical and electrical contact with a mating connector, with at least one spring-elastic deflectable contact spring tongue with a on the jacket wall of the contact sleeve Free end is arranged and designed such that the free end projects radially inward in the direction of the jacket wall of the contact sleeve and forms a contact surface for electrical and mechanical contacting of the mating connector, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Connectors are used for the detachable connection of coaxial cables.
  • coaxial connectors are designed to be coaxial so that they have the advantages of coaxial cables, namely low electromagnetic interference and radiation as well as good electrical shielding and an impedance that corresponds to that of the connected coaxial cable to prevent reflections at the transition point between the coaxial connector and the coaxial cable avoid.
  • a coaxial cable, or coax cable for short is understood to mean a two-pole cable with a concentric structure, which has an inner conductor (also called a core) which is at a constant distance from is surrounded by a hollow cylindrical outer conductor. The outer conductor shields the inner conductor from electromagnetic interference.
  • An insulator or dielectric is arranged in the space between the inner conductor and the outer conductor.
  • Coaxial connectors are designed to have a predetermined characteristic impedance, e.g. of 50 ⁇ , to ensure a reflection-free transmission of RF signals.
  • the wave resistance of a coaxial connector depends, among other things. on 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 coaxial connectors adapted to the respective inside and outside diameters of the coaxial cable.
  • an electrical socket contact is known with a socket contact element, which forms a ring at each end, between which elastically deformable contact tongues are arranged.
  • the rings are designed such that they abut an inner wall of a sleeve that surrounds the socket contact element.
  • these rings cannot prevent a contact pin inserted into the socket contact element from deforming and thereby damaging the socket contact element in the region between the rings and in particular the contact tongues located there when subjected to lateral force.
  • a socket contact arrangement in which a spring clip is arranged in a cavity of a cylinder jacket.
  • the spring clip has spring tines radially inwardly for contacting a contact pin.
  • the spring clip has on its outer circumference at a rear end four recesses which rise radially outwards and at a front end a cylindrical part which presses against an inner wall in the cavity.
  • the cylindrical part and the four recesses abut an inner wall in the cavity and hold the spring clip in place in the cavity.
  • the cylindrical part and the four depressions cannot prevent a contact pin inserted into the spring clip from the side
  • the spring clip in the area between the cylindrical part and the four depressions, and in particular the contact prongs located there, is deformed and thereby damaged.
  • a hollow tubular contact with a plurality of V-shaped tongues that rise inwardly from the main body of the contact.
  • the tongues are arranged in a line along the circumference of the contact, the tips of the tongues forming an area with a reduced cross section in relation to the cross section of the main body of the contact.
  • a ring of right-angled tongues which are axially spaced from the V-shaped tongues and which rise radially outward.
  • the invention has for its object to improve an electrical connector in terms of resistance to damage due to external force.
  • an electrical connector of the above-mentioned type that at least three ribs are formed on the outer circumference of the jacket wall of the contact sleeve, which ribs extend in the axial direction with respect to the contact sleeve over a predetermined axial section of the contact sleeve, which extend in the circumferential direction with respect to the Contact sleeve evenly apart are spaced and which project beyond the outer wall in the direction radially outward.
  • a connector that is particularly easy to produce is achieved by designing each contact spring tongue by means of a U-shaped recess in the jacket wall of the contact sleeve.
  • a uniform and stable support of the contact sleeve on the inside of the housing is achieved in that the ribs are evenly spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction with respect to the jacket wall of the contact sleeve.
  • a particularly good hold of the contact sleeve in the housing by means of a restoring force due to an elastic deformation of the contact sleeve in the area of the ribs is achieved in that an outer diameter of the contact sleeve in the area of the ribs is larger than an inner diameter of the housing.
  • a simple manufacture is achieved by producing the contact sleeve as a stamped and bent part.
  • the illustrated preferred embodiment of an electrical connector according to the invention has a housing 10, which is hollow-cylindrical and has a contact sleeve 12 in its interior.
  • the contact sleeve 12 is also designed as a hollow cylinder and in Fig. 2 shown in more detail.
  • the electrical connector is designed for mating connection in the axial direction with a mating connector 100, so that an electrical and mechanical contact is established between the electrical connector and the mating connector.
  • This mating connector 100 has an outer surface 110 which, when plugged in, faces an inside of the contact sleeve 12.
  • the contact sleeve 12 has a jacket wall 14 and three spring-elastic 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 connected to the casing wall 14 in a form-fitting manner on one side.
  • each contact spring tongue 16 is part of the jacket wall 14, but is deformed relative to the latter.
  • each contact spring tongue 16 has a free end 20, which forms an electrical contact surface 22. This electrical contact surface 22 comes into electrical and mechanical contact with the outer surface 110 of the mating connector 100 when the mating connector 100 is inserted.
  • the entire contact sleeve 12 is preferably made of a resilient, electrically conductive material.
  • the contact spring tongues 16 are designed in such a way that in the relieved state they protrude with the respective free end 20 in the radially inward direction of the jacket wall 14 of the contact sleeve 12.
  • ribs 24 are formed on the outer wall 14 of the contact sleeve 12 radially on the outside and are produced, for example, by means of stamping. These ribs 24 protrude beyond the jacket wall 14 of the contact sleeve 12 in the radially outward direction and are thereby in contact with an inner wall 26 of the housing 10 ( Fig. 1 ). In the illustrated embodiment, three ribs 24 are provided, which extend in the axial direction with respect to the contact sleeve 12 over a predetermined axial section of the contact sleeve 12.
  • ribs 24 are evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction with respect to the contact sleeve 12, ie two ribs 24 adjacent in the circumferential direction with respect to the contact sleeve 12 are offset from one another by an angle of 120 ° in the circumferential direction. 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 supported equally on the housing in all directions.
  • an oblique tensile force 28 acts on the mating connector 100, the oblique tensile force 28 being directed essentially 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 can therefore not be damaged. Deflection of the mating connector 100 is prevented when the oblique pulling force 28 occurs and accordingly avoided that the contact spring tongues 16 are overstretched or damaged.
  • the uniform arrangement of the three ribs 24 ensures that the function of the support is ensured, regardless of the radial direction in which the oblique pulling force 28 acts. In other words, the coaxial arrangement of housing 10, contact sleeve 12 and mating connector 100 is essentially retained even when oblique pulling forces 28 occur.
  • the electrical and mechanical properties of the electrical connector according to the invention therefore remain unaffected even by external forces receive the connector in mated condition with mating connector 100.
