Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector module for a modular connector.
  • Modular connectors are used in a wide variety of technical applications.
  • the modular connectors are based on the technical principle of forwarding several different signals or currents, e.g. electrical currents and/or fluid flows and/or light and/or data streams via several connector modules and mating connector modules, which in the connected state of a plug and a mating connector of the modular connector are connected to each other.
  • One connector module and one mating connector module each form a connector module pair, via which a specific desired signal, e.g. an electrical signal and/or a desired current or a desired fluid flow or a desired light or a desired luminous flux, which is e.g. a luminous flux for optoelectronic data transmission, and/or any data stream can be forwarded.
  • a typical application of a modular connector relates to the supply of a system with different signals, as well as at least one electrical power supply, in particular, different voltages and/or currents, and signals, for example, from a system controller remote from the system.
  • An example of a modular connector is from EP 1 353 412 A2 known.
  • Modular plug connectors or modular plug connector systems have also been disclosed, for example, in numerous other documents and publications, shown at trade fairs and are used in particular in the industrial environment.

  • the holding frame can have a base section and a deformation section, which are formed from different materials.
  • the base section is used to fix a recorded module in one plane.
  • the deformation section can assume an insertion state and a holding state, the insertion state allowing at least one module to be inserted in a direction transverse to the plane into the holding frame, with a received module being fixed in the holding state.
  • the pamphlet DE 10 2014 213 728 A1 discloses a terminal block system with overvoltage protection for a A plurality of essentially similar terminal blocks next to one another, which are arranged on a mounting rail (HUT).
  • the pamphlet U.S. 5,788,521 A discloses a modular surge protection system having interchangeable power supply and surge protection modules. These are connectable to a power distribution module that provides surge protection for the power supply modules while providing independent surge protection in the surge protection modules.

  • EP 1 538 717 A1 discloses a modular, filtered electrical connector particularly intended for protecting electronic devices from overvoltage. It has a metal housing with at least one cavity intended to receive an insert. This consists of an insulating body equipped with contacts and filter elements.

This suitability can relate, for example, to the response time and/or the threshold voltage at which the overvoltage protection trips.
  • the invention makes it possible to avoid subsequently installing a conventional, known overvoltage protection device in an electrical device to be protected, which would mean an intervention in the corresponding device with the associated difficulties such as lack of space, possibly renewed certifications, etc.

This facilitates the intuitive assignment during installation and secures the corresponding device against the use of a possibly less suitable overvoltage protection.
  • an overvoltage protection module according to the invention can also be integrated into the respective mating connector, which can be labeled and assigned accordingly for this purpose.

  • voltage peaks are diverted to the earth and/or ground of the respective electrical device by means of gas arresters and diodes provided for overvoltage protection circuits, i.e. electrically conductively connected to a ground and/or ground contact of the corresponding device. It makes sense for the components to be interconnected and dimensioned in such a way that the voltage peaks cannot damage any electrical hardware of the connected electrical device.
