Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector part for plug-in connection with an associated mating connector part according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a connector part comprises a holding frame and a plurality of inserted in the holding frame modular contact inserts, each having a connectable in a direction of insertion with the mating connector part plug portion having a contact element arranged thereon for contacting with the mating connector part.
  • Such support frames are used for modular recording of contact inserts, for example on connectors.
  • one or more contact inserts can be arranged to be used together with the holding frame in a housing of a connector part and connected to the housing. In this way, contact inserts can be combined with each other in a modular manner and arranged over the holding frame in or on a connector part.
  • Such contact inserts may, for example, have one or more electrical contacts.
  • the contact inserts are connected in this case, on the one hand with electrical lines which are fed to a connector, and on the other hand form plug contacts, via which the plug connector can be brought into electrical contact with a mating connector part.
  • Such modular contact inserts offer the advantage of flexible combinability and thus variable usability of connectors.
  • Connector parts with a modular contact inserts receiving support frame are known for example from DE 10 2012 1 10 907 A1 or DE 20 2012 103 360 U1.
  • a connector part using such a holding frame for receiving modular contact inserts can be used, for example, on a control cabinet.
  • a control cabinet may, for example, have a slot into which an electrical device can be inserted to the Push in automatically to contact the control cabinet.
  • a connector part can be arranged on the electrical device, which comes into insertion with the insertion of the cabinet with an associated mating connector part into engagement and in this way produces an electrical contact.
  • different contact inserts may be advantageous for different contact inserts to contact in different positions in order to distribute the contact of contact elements of the connector part with associated mating contact elements of the mating connector part in terms of time, thus contacting some contact elements in front of other contact elements.
  • different contact elements have a different length, as is the case, for example, in a known from DE 198 38 492 A1 connector.
  • a connector part is known in which contact inserts are added to a support frame.
  • On the support frame guide pins are arranged, which are formed longer than the recorded on the support frame contact inserts, so that the guide pins engage in insertion of the connector part in an associated mating connector part with guide mounts before the contact inserts engage with associated mating contact inserts on the side of the mating connector part.
  • the connector part and the mating connector part are guided against each other before an electrically contacting engagement is made.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a connector part available that can be produced economically, while being flexible and allows a leading contact at least one contact insert.
  • At least one of the contact inserts has a module housing inserted into the holding frame and a contact carrier arranged on the module housing and movable along the plugging direction relative to the module housing, forming the plug-in section of the contact insert.
  • the present invention contemplates forming a connector part by using modular contact inserts.
  • the modular contact inserts can be inserted into a holding frame and are held in the mounted position in the holding frame. Characterized in that the holding frame can be equipped with different contact inserts, different, customized connector parts can be provided in this way, in which a desired combination of contact inserts is inserted into the holding frame, so that a mating face with electrical contacts, optical contacts and / or pneumatic Contacts is created.
  • At least one of the contact inserts is changeable in its position.
  • an anticipatory contacting of one or more contact inserts is made possible, so that when plugging in the connector part with an associated mating connector part, first one or more leading contact inserts of the connector part engage with the mating connector part before the remaining, lagging contact inserts are contacted.
  • the contacting process is staggered via the insertion process, which facilitates finding the connector part with the mating connector part and simplifies the contacting process.
  • At least one of the contact inserts has a module housing inserted in the holding frame and a contact carrier arranged on the module housing and movable relative to the module housing.
  • the contact insert is thus functionally divided into two parts: The connection to the holding frame is produced via the module housing, while the contact carrier, which forms the plug-in section, is movable toward the module housing and thus makes it possible to adapt the position of the contact insert.
  • the module housing is firmly received on the support frame.
  • the contact carrier can be moved on the module housing in order in this way to adapt the position of the plug-in section on the contact carrier relative to the holding frame.
  • the contact carrier is spring-biased to the module housing along the insertion direction. In an initial position, the contact carrier is thus in a first position on the module housing from which the contact carrier can be adjusted against the spring preload, for example, to adapt the position of the plug-in section when plugging in the connector part with the mating connector part.
  • the contact carrier with the plug-in portion formed thereon is preferably guided displaceably in a housing opening of the module housing.
  • the contact carrier is inserted into the module housing and guided along the insertion direction on the module housing. The position of the contact carrier can thus be adjusted along the plugging direction relative to the module housing.
  • the contact carrier has, for example, a carrier body inserted in the housing opening, which is guided along a predetermined path on the module housing by engagement of a guide element arranged on the carrier body or module housing in a guide opening arranged on the module housing or carrier body.
  • a guide element in the form of a projection may be arranged on the carrier body and engage in a guide opening on the module housing.
  • the guide opening has, for example, the shape of a slot extending along the plug-in direction, so that the guide element can be moved along the plugging direction in the guide opening and the movement path of the contact carrier relative to the module housing is predefined via the engagement of the guide element in the guide opening.
  • the contact carrier is movable to the module housing along the insertion direction, a positional adjustment of the formed on the contact carrier plug-in portion is possible. This can be helpful in particular when inserting the connector part into an associated mating connector part, for example, in order to allow individual mating sections to advance into engagement with mating plug sections on the mating connector part.
  • the plug portion of the contact carrier of the at least one of the contact inserts in a first position of the contact carrier with respect to a plug portion of at least one other of the contact inserts projecting in the plugging direction.
  • the plug-in section formed on the movable contact carrier is thus in an initial position relative to other plug-in sections on others Contact inserts in the direction of insertion before. If the connector part is attached in the plugging direction to an associated mating connector part, then the protruding mating portion on the movable contact carrier of the at least one of the contact inserts engages with the mating connector part before other mating portions of other contact inserts come into engagement with the mating connector part.
  • the contact carrier with the plug portion of the at least one of the contact inserts arranged thereon is movable relative to the module housing and thus can be adjusted in its position
  • the plug portions of other contact inserts are arranged, for example, stationary relative to the holding frame. The mating portions of these other contact inserts can thus not be adjusted in their position relative to the support frame, but are held firmly on the support frame.
  • the spring element biases the contact carrier relative to the module housing. If the contact carrier is moved out of its first position out to the module housing, this takes place counter to the spring force of the spring element, so that a restoring force acts in the direction of the first position.
  • the spring element is supported, for example, on the contact carrier and is loaded when moving the contact carrier against the direction of insertion relative to the module housing to pressure. If the contact carrier is moved out of its first position, thus the spring element is compressed and thereby causes a spring force on the contact carrier in the direction of the first position.
  • the contact carrier of the at least one of the contact inserts preferably in the first position. In this first position, the plug portion of the contact carrier of the at least one of the contact inserts projects, for example, with respect to other plug portions of other contact inserts in the plugging direction.
  • the protruding mating portion of the contact carrier of the contact carrier of the at least one of the contact inserts initially engages with the mating connector part before the mating portions of other contact inserts engage the mating connector part.
  • This can facilitate the attachment of the connector part to the mating connector part, because First, the plug portion of the movable contact carrier with the mating connector part is found before the other mating sections engage with the mating connector part in engagement.
  • the contacting with the mating connector part thus takes place in an offset, staggered manner, which can also reduce the force required for the insertion of the connector part in the mating connector part.
  • the force acting between the contact carrier and the module housing of the at least one of the contact inserts spring force is dimensioned so that when attaching the connector part to the mating connector part of the plug portion of the movable contact carrier can be pressed into engagement with the mating connector part.
  • the spring force of the prestressing spring element is thus so great that the force required for inserting the plug-in section into the mating connector part can be overcome.
  • the contact carrier is adjusted relative to the module housing with further attachment of the connector part to the mating connector part, and acting between the contact carrier and the module housing spring element is stretched until completely in the Mating connector part inserted connector part all contact inserts of the connector part are in engagement with the mating connector part.
  • the plug-in section of the movable contact carrier is moved out of the first position against the plug-in direction when the plug-in part is fully inserted and is in a second position, in which the plug-in section is approximately level with the plug-in sections of the other contact inserts, for example.
  • the plug-in portions of the other, non-variable position contact inserts are pulled from the mating connector part before - now lagging - and the plug portion of the movable contact carrier is disengaged from the mating connector part.
  • the plug portion of the movable to the module housing contact carrier is thus lagging from the mating connector part pulled, so that the contact of the connector part with the mating connector part is canceled in staggered manner.
  • one or more contact inserts can be formed, each with a module housing and a contact carrier which can be moved relative to the module housing. It is also conceivable to form all contact inserts with such a module housing and a movable to the module housing contact carrier. However, it can be advantageous to design some contact inserts with a contact carrier which can be adapted in the position, whereas other contact inserts can be formed with fixed plug-in sections.
