Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector for a multi-core electrical cable according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such an electrical connector comprises at least two electrical contact elements on the input or cable side, for example in the form of contact plates, to which one wire of the associated electrical cable is connected (via a suitable connection point), and also at least two electrical contact elements on the output side, for example in the form of contact plates, from each of which an electrical connector element, for example in the form of an electrically conductive pin, goes off in order to be able to produce an electrical connection with a mating connector.
- the electrical contact elements on the output side are arranged at a distance from the electrical contact elements on the cable side.
- a carrier body is arranged between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements, which forms a carrier area which extends from a first connection section to a second connection section and with which both the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are connected, from the carrier area at each A support section of the support body extends from each of the two connecting sections in such a way that the support area and the two support sections form a ring-shaped circumferential structure.
- the invention is based on the problem of improving an electrical connector of the type mentioned with regard to the requirements described above.
- a support crimp is applied to the plug-side end of the cable, the electrical cable being provided with the support crimp at its free end, at which it is to be connected to the associated electrical connector.
- the solution according to the invention allows the arrangement of a carrier body between the input side and the output side of a connector, which can be specifically designed to reliably absorb forces, such as torsional forces, and which can also (optionally) also be used as a stop and locking means for other components, such as for an outer conductor of the connector, and to hold at least one electrical component that is to be placed on the connector.
- the cable-side and the output-side contact elements can be connected to the carrier area directly or indirectly (e.g. via an electrical component arranged on the carrier area).
- the output-side contact elements can be spaced apart from the cable-side contact elements along a longitudinal direction (e.g. the longitudinal direction of the connector, along which the connector is intended to be plugged onto a mating connector); and the two support sections can extend from the respectively associated connection section of the carrier body in directions opposite to one another transversely to the longitudinal direction.
- the two support sections can, in particular, each run in an arc.
- the support sections can each have a free end, the free ends of the support sections facing each other. Those free ends can on the one hand be spaced apart from one another or on the other hand be connected to one another (materially). In the case of a one-piece molded carrier body, the support sections can be configured by bending to form an annular contour.
- the plug connector is surrounded by an outer conductor in a ring shape in cross section.
- the carrier body and the cable-side and output-side contact elements are arranged at least in sections in the interior space defined thereby.
- the outer conductor can be fixed to the carrier body, e.g. positively and/or materially. Furthermore, it can be provided that the support sections of the carrier body enclose the outer conductor on the outside.
- the outer conductor has two first slots through which the carrier body (each with a support section) is guided out of the outer conductor.
- the outer conductor can be fixed to the first slots on the carrier body.
- a respective first slot can extend along that longitudinal direction along which the output-side contact elements are spaced apart from the cable-side contact elements.
- the outer conductor can be slid onto the carrier body at the open end of the first slots. And by the respective first slot is closed at one (other) end, the outer conductor can be supported on the carrier body via the closed ends of the first slots.
- Extensions that extend along the first slots of the outer conductor and cover the first slots can be formed on the carrier body.
- the interior space enclosed by the outer conductor can be filled with a casting compound.
- the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements and the carrier body are designed as separate components spaced apart from one another, and an electrical component can also be arranged on the carrier body, with which the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are each electrically connected.
- the electrical component can be electrically connected in particular via wires to the cable-side and the output-side contact elements.
- the electrical component can be arranged on the carrier area of the carrier body.
- the cable-side and the output-side contact elements can be connected to one another in pairs via the electrical component. That is, each cable-side contact element is electrically connected to an output-side contact element and the individual (resulting) electrical connections are connected in parallel to one another.
- the carrier body is designed to be electrically conductive, with the component being held by the carrier body without one of the cable-side or output-side contact elements being in electrical contact with the carrier body.
- the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements are connected to one another directly via the carrier body itself.
- an electrically conductive carrier body can be provided, with which both the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are in electrical contact.
- the cable-side and the output-side electrical contact elements and the carrier body can be produced in a simple manner as components of a single, integrally formed component, in particular in the form of a stamped grid.
- FIG. 1A and 1B show an electrical connector, on the input side a - in Figure 2A shown in cross-section - multi-core electrical cable 1 is connected and the output side has electrical connector elements 73, 74 for establishing an electrical connection with a mating connector.
- the electrical cable 1 is designed as a two-wire electrical cable.
- the two cores 11, 12 of the cable 1 run alongside one another along the longitudinal direction L of the cable; they form parallel veins. These are each formed by an electrical line 11a, 12a, for example made of copper, and an insulating sheath 11b, 12b surrounding the respective line.
- the cores 11, 12 of the cable 1 are arranged together in a cable interior which is defined by a cable jacket 15 running in the longitudinal direction L of the cable and is surrounded by this in a ring-shaped cross-section.
- the cable jacket 15 consists of an electrically insulating material.
- the cable shield 14 can be formed, for example, by a braided shield or by a foil, or by a braided shield in combination with a foil.
- the cable shield 14 serves to shield the inside of the cable and for this purpose consists of a metallic material such as aluminum.
- a cable shield 14 in the form of a foil can thus be an aluminum foil.
- a plastic film can be used for this purpose, which is coated with an electrically conductive material, such as aluminum, in particular on the inside facing the inside of the cable.
- Shielding braids are used in particular for shielding at comparatively low frequencies and cable shields in the form of foils for shielding at comparatively high frequencies (1 MHz to 10 GHz).
- Figure 2B 1 shows a schematic of a possible specific embodiment of a cable shield 14.
- the cable shield 14 is then placed in the form of a film around the interior of the cable in such a way that the two connecting sections 141, 142 of the film overlap in the circumferential direction.
- the cable shield 14 can be opened in a targeted manner if—for example when assembling the cable—the interior of the cable is to be accessed.
- the cable shield 14 can be combined with the cable sheath 15 to form a structural unit, e.g. by the cable shield 14 being connected to the cable sheath 15 on its outer surface facing away from the cable interior, for example by means of an adhesive.
- drain wires 21, 22 are arranged inside the cable, each of which extends along the longitudinal direction L of the cable together with the cores 11, 12.
- the drain wires 21, 22 are electrically conductive, while not insulated, and are in electrical contact with the cable shield 14.
- Such drain wires 21, 22 are used to place the cable shield 14 at ground potential in a defined manner, specifically advantageously even when the cable shield 14 is damaged locally, for example in the case of a film torn in sections.
- the stranded drain wires 21, 22 can also contribute to shielding the interior of the cable.
- a respective drain wire 21, 22 can contain a magnetic, in particular a ferromagnetic material. This can be an alloy (based on iron, nickel, cobalt), in particular steel.
- a respective drain wire 21, 22 consists entirely of an electrically conductive ferromagnetic material.
- each drain wire 21, 22 has at least one core made of a ferromagnetic material, which is surrounded by an electrically conductive material. This embodiment enables optimization of the core of each stranded drain wire 21, 22 with regard to the magnetic properties and optimization of the outer conductive area of each stranded drain wire 21, 22 with regard to the electrical properties (also with regard to the skin effect at high frequencies).
- One can respective drain wire 21, 22 may be formed by a core made of steel, which is coated with copper. The coating can be done, for example, by electroplating.
- Both a respective core 11, 12 and a respective drain wire 21, 22 of the electrical cable 1 from the Figures 1A , 1B and 2A usually consists of a plurality of individual wires.
- a (connector-side) connecting portion of the cable 1 is freed from the cable sheath 15.
- the separation of the drain wires 21, 22 from the cores 11, 12 of the cable, such as those cable components 11, 12; 21, 22 separated from the associated connection points on the connector Figure 1A to be able to perform, takes place in the embodiment through the use of magnetic forces.
- a magnet M is brought closer to a respective drain wire 21, 22 at the corresponding cable end.
- drain wires 21, 22 can be separated from wires 11, 12 of the cable in a simple manner, without tools having to be used on wires 11, 12 and/or drain wires 21, 22.
- each drain wire 21, 22 contains a material with such magnetic properties that the drain wire 21, 22 can be separated from the cores 11, 12 of the cable 1 under the influence of magnetic forces. That is, the magnetic properties of the drain wire 21, 22 must differ from those of a respective wire 11, 12.
- a support crimp 16 is applied to the plug-side end of the cable 1, which is (optionally) surrounded by a casting 18, for example in the form of a ferrite core filter encapsulation can be.
- a cable-side (ferrite core) filter functions here as a sheath wave filter, in particular for suppressing sheath waves in the form of high-frequency common-mode interference, which are caused, for example, by electrical devices and which propagate along the cable 1 . That filter is therefore used to eliminate or reduce common-mode interference that occurs in phase on the two parallel wires 11, 12 or the electrical lines 11a, 12a and that in the present example are caused in particular by standing waves.
- the plug connector connected to the plug-side end of the cable 1 comprises an outer conductor 8, in the embodiment in the form of an outer tube, which consists of an electrically conductive material and which surrounds the plug in a ring-shaped cross-section or in the embodiment specifically in a circular ring-shape.
- the outer conductor 8 extends along a longitudinal direction (cable longitudinal direction L), i.e. axially, from a first, cable-side end 8a to a second, output-side end 8b. It can be connected to the support crimp 16, e.g., materially (by welding).
- the outer conductor 8 has a pair of first slots 81 and a pair of second slots 82 .
- the slots 81 and 82 of a respective pair of slots are arranged opposite one another on the outer conductor 8 .
- the slots 81 of the first pair of slots are offset by 90° relative to the slots 82 of the second pair of slots in the exemplary embodiment along the circumferential direction of the outer conductor 8 .
- the slots 81 and 82 extend in the axial direction a of the plug connector (and thus also along the cable longitudinal direction L) to the cable-side axial end of the outer conductor 8 (where they form an open end of the respective slot).
- the components of the connector arranged within the interior of the connector enclosed by the outer conductor 8 comprise, on the input side (ie, cable side), first, cable-side electrical contact elements 31, 32, present in the form of small contact plates.

It is also shown how torsional forces T2 acting on the drain wires 21, 22 are introduced into the outer conductor 8 (from which they can in turn be released into the carrier body 4). This makes it possible to relieve the pressure and strain on the drain wires 21, 22 under the effect of torsional forces, which in particular prevents the drain wires from shearing off.
- the carrier body 4 represented here in particular by the axially extending lateral extensions 46, (in two spatial planes) can serve as a guide when pushing on and positioning the outer conductor 8.
- an EMC labyrinth is formed by the covering of the first slots 81 of the outer conductor 8 by means of the extensions 46 of the carrier body 4, in particular because of the crimped design of the extensions 46 (mushroom-shaped in cross section), in order to prevent the penetration of electromagnetic waves into to prevent the space surrounded by the outer conductor 8.
- Figure 5A also shows those locations of the second slots 82, namely end sections 82a in the form of beveled areas in the exemplary embodiment, in the vicinity of which a respective drain wire 21, 22 (with its respective free end section 21a, 22a) is fixed to the outer conductor 8, for example with a material bond by welding, soldering, gluing, etc., namely on a support (plateau 82b) formed by the respective end section 82a.
- This further ensures that the ground connection of the cable shield via the drain wires 21, 22 to the outer conductor 8 remains stable over the long term and, in particular, the contact resistance is constant over time.
- the beveled end sections 82a and the supports 82b formed thereby also serve to transmit torsional forces.
- the beveled end sections 82a and the supports 82b form additional guiding aids when the outer conductor 8 is pushed onto the encapsulation 85.
- Figure 6A shows an exploded view of the electrical connector from the Figures 1A and 1B together with the components directly adjoining it on the cable side, specifically before the bending over of the supporting sections 43, 44 of the carrier body 4.

It forms an inner core of the electrical connector, on which the electrical component 5 (with its housing 50) is arranged, it being connected to the input and output-side electrical contact elements 31, 32; 71,72 via wires 61,62,63,64.
- the plug connector is surrounded by the outer conductor 8 with the first and second slots 81 and 82, respectively, the space between the carrier body 4—with the exception of the support sections 43, 44 leading to the outside—and the outer conductor 8 being filled with a potting 85.
- the assembly of the connector including the connection of the electric cable 1, can be described as follows: First, the electrical cable 1 is provided and provided with the support crimp 16 at its free end, to which it is to be connected to the associated electrical connector.

Dabei sind die ausgangsseitigen elektrischen Kontaktelemente von den kabelseitigen elektrischen Kontaktelementen beabstandet angeordnet.Such an electrical connector comprises at least two electrical contact elements on the input or cable side, for example in the form of contact plates, to which one wire of the associated electrical cable is connected (via a suitable connection point), and also at least two electrical contact elements on the output side, for example in the form of contact plates, from each of which an electrical connector element, for example in the form of an electrically conductive pin, goes off in order to be able to produce an electrical connection with a mating connector. The electrical contact elements on the output side are arranged at a distance from the electrical contact elements on the cable side.
Hierbei handelt es sich um einen klassischen Aufbau eines elektrischen Steckverbinders für mehradrige elektrische Kabel, an den eingangsseitig ein elektrisches Kabel angeschlossen ist und der ausgangsseitig mit elektrischen Steckerelementen versehen ist, um das elektrische Kabel über den Steckverbinder und insbesondere dessen Steckerelemente mit einem Gegenstecker in elektrische Verbindung bringen zu können.This is a classic design of an electrical connector for multi-core electrical cables, to which an electrical cable is connected on the input side and which is provided with electrical connector elements on the output side, in order to electrically connect the electrical cable via the connector and in particular its connector elements with a mating connector to be able to bring.

Zum technischen Hintergrund der Erfindung sei beispielhaft auf die
Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen elektrischen Steckverbinder der eingangs genannten Art im Hinblick auf die vorbeschriebenen Anforderungen zu verbessern.The invention is based on the problem of improving an electrical connector of the type mentioned with regard to the requirements described above.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Schaffung eines elektrischen Steckverbinders mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This problem is solved according to the invention by creating an electrical connector with the features of
Danach ist bei einem gattungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinder am steckerseitigen Ende des Kabels hierauf ein Stützcrimp aufgebracht, wobei das elektrische Kabel an seinem freien Ende, an welchem es an den zugeordneten elektrischen Steckverbinder angeschlossen werden soll, mit dem Stützcrimp versehen ist.Then, in a generic electrical connector, a support crimp is applied to the plug-side end of the cable, the electrical cable being provided with the support crimp at its free end, at which it is to be connected to the associated electrical connector.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung erlaubt die Anordnung eines Trägerkörpers zwischen der Eingangsseite und der Ausgangsseite eines Steckverbinders, der gezielt zur zuverlässigen Aufnahme von Kräften, wie zum Beispiel Torsionskräften, ausgestaltet werden kann und der darüber hinaus (optional) auch als Anschlags- und Arretierungsmittel für weitere Komponenten, wie zum Beispiel für einen Außenleiter des Steckverbinders, dienen kann sowie zur Halterung mindestens eines elektrischen Bauelementes, das am Stecker platziert werden soll.The solution according to the invention allows the arrangement of a carrier body between the input side and the output side of a connector, which can be specifically designed to reliably absorb forces, such as torsional forces, and which can also (optionally) also be used as a stop and locking means for other components, such as for an outer conductor of the connector, and to hold at least one electrical component that is to be placed on the connector.
Hierbei können die kabelseitigen und die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente mit dem Trägerbereich direkt oder indirekt (z.B. über ein an dem Trägerbereich angeordnetes elektrisches Bauelement) in Verbindung stehen.In this case, the cable-side and the output-side contact elements can be connected to the carrier area directly or indirectly (e.g. via an electrical component arranged on the carrier area).
Konkret können die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente von den kabelseitigen Kontaktelementen entlang einer Längsrichtung (z.B. der Steckerlängsrichtung, entlang welcher der Stecker bestimmungsgemäß auf einen Gegenstecker steckbar ist) beabstandet sein; und dabei können die beiden Stützabschnitte von dem jeweils zugehörigen Verbindungsabschnitt des Trägerkörpers in zueinander entgegengesetzten Richtungen quer zu der Längsrichtung abgehen. Die beiden Stützabschnitte können insbesondere jeweils bogenförmig verlaufen.In concrete terms, the output-side contact elements can be spaced apart from the cable-side contact elements along a longitudinal direction (e.g. the longitudinal direction of the connector, along which the connector is intended to be plugged onto a mating connector); and the two support sections can extend from the respectively associated connection section of the carrier body in directions opposite to one another transversely to the longitudinal direction. The two support sections can, in particular, each run in an arc.
Die Stützabschnitte können jeweils ein freies Ende aufweisen, wobei die freien Enden der Stützabschnitte einander zugewandt sind. Jene freien Enden können einerseits voneinander beabstandet sein oder andererseits (stoffschlüssig) miteinander verbunden sein. Bei einem einstückig geformten Trägerkörper können die Stützabschnitte durch Biegen zur Bildung einer ringförmigen Kontur konfiguriert sein.The support sections can each have a free end, the free ends of the support sections facing each other. Those free ends can on the one hand be spaced apart from one another or on the other hand be connected to one another (materially). In the case of a one-piece molded carrier body, the support sections can be configured by bending to form an annular contour.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform ist der Steckverbinder im Querschnitt ringförmig von einem Außenleiter umschlossen. In dem hierdurch definierten Innenraum sind der Trägerkörper sowie die kabelseitigen und ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente zumindest abschnittsweise angeordnet. Dabei kann der Außenleiter an dem Trägerkörper festgelegt sein, z.B. form-und/oder stoffschlüssig. Weiter kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Stützabschnitte des Trägerkörpers den Außenleiter außenseitig umschließen.According to one embodiment, the plug connector is surrounded by an outer conductor in a ring shape in cross section. The carrier body and the cable-side and output-side contact elements are arranged at least in sections in the interior space defined thereby. The outer conductor can be fixed to the carrier body, e.g. positively and/or materially. Furthermore, it can be provided that the support sections of the carrier body enclose the outer conductor on the outside.
Nach einer Weiterbildung weist der Außenleiter zwei erste Schlitze auf, durch welche der Trägerköper (mit je einem Stützabschnitt) aus dem Außenleiter herausgeführt ist. Hierbei kann der Außenleiter an den ersten Schlitzen am Trägerkörper festgelegt sein.According to a further development, the outer conductor has two first slots through which the carrier body (each with a support section) is guided out of the outer conductor. In this case, the outer conductor can be fixed to the first slots on the carrier body.
Ein jeweiliger erster Schlitz kann sich entlang derjenigen Längsrichtung erstrecken, entlang welcher die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente von den kabelseitigen Kontaktelementen beabstandet sind.A respective first slot can extend along that longitudinal direction along which the output-side contact elements are spaced apart from the cable-side contact elements.
Indem der jeweilige erste Schlitz an einem Ende offen ist, kann der Außenleiter am offenen Ende der ersten Schlitze auf den Trägerkörper schiebbar sein. Und indem der jeweilige erste Schlitz an einem (anderen) Ende geschlossen ist, kann sich der Außenleiter über die geschlossenen Enden der ersten Schlitze an dem Trägerkörper abstützen.Since the respective first slot is open at one end, the outer conductor can be slid onto the carrier body at the open end of the first slots. And by the respective first slot is closed at one (other) end, the outer conductor can be supported on the carrier body via the closed ends of the first slots.
An dem Trägerkörper können entlang der ersten Schlitze des Außenleiters erstreckte Fortsätze ausgebildet sein, welche die ersten Schlitze überdecken.Extensions that extend along the first slots of the outer conductor and cover the first slots can be formed on the carrier body.
Zur Stabilisierung der Anordnung kann der vom Außenleiter umschlossene Innenraum mit einer Vergussmasse befüllt sein.To stabilize the arrangement, the interior space enclosed by the outer conductor can be filled with a casting compound.
In einer Ausgestaltung sind die kabelseitigen Kontaktelemente und die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente sowie der Trägerkörper als separate, voneinander beabstandete Komponenten ausgeführt, wobei zudem auf dem Trägerkörper ein elektrisches Bauelement angeordnet sein kann, mit dem die kabelseitigen und die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente jeweils elektrisch verbunden sind. Das elektrische Bauelement kann insbesondere über Drähte mit den kabelseitigen und den ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelementen elektrisch verbunden sein. Konkret kann das elektrische Bauelement auf dem Trägerbereich des Trägerkörpers angeordnet sein.In one configuration, the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements and the carrier body are designed as separate components spaced apart from one another, and an electrical component can also be arranged on the carrier body, with which the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are each electrically connected. The electrical component can be electrically connected in particular via wires to the cable-side and the output-side contact elements. Specifically, the electrical component can be arranged on the carrier area of the carrier body.
Dabei können über das elektrische Bauelement die kabelseitigen und die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente jeweils paarweise miteinander verbunden sein. D.h., jedes kabelseitige Kontaktelement ist mit einem ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelement elektrisch verbunden und die einzelnen (hieraus resultierenden) elektrischen Verbindungen sind parallel zueinander geschaltet.In this case, the cable-side and the output-side contact elements can be connected to one another in pairs via the electrical component. That is, each cable-side contact element is electrically connected to an output-side contact element and the individual (resulting) electrical connections are connected in parallel to one another.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung ist der Trägerkörper elektrisch leitfähig ausgeführt, wobei das Bauelement von dem Trägerkörper gehalten wird, ohne dass hierüber eines der kabelseitigen oder ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente mit dem Trägerkörper in elektrischem Kontakt steht.According to one development, the carrier body is designed to be electrically conductive, with the component being held by the carrier body without one of the cable-side or output-side contact elements being in electrical contact with the carrier body.
Nach einer weiteren Variante ist vorgesehen, dass die kabelseitigen Kontaktelemente und die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente unmittelbar über den Trägerkörper selbst miteinander verbunden sind. Hierfür kann ein elektrisch leitfähiger Trägerkörper vorgesehen sein, mit dem sowohl die kabelseitigen als auch die ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente in elektrischem Kontakt stehen.According to a further variant, it is provided that the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements are connected to one another directly via the carrier body itself. For this purpose, an electrically conductive carrier body can be provided, with which both the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are in electrical contact.
In einfacher Weise können die kabelseitigen und die ausgangsseitigen elektrischen Kontaktelemente sowie der Trägerkörper als Bestandteile eines einzelnen, einstückig geformten Bauteiles, insbesondere in Form eines Stanzgitters, hergestellt sein.The cable-side and the output-side electrical contact elements and the carrier body can be produced in a simple manner as components of a single, integrally formed component, in particular in the form of a stamped grid.

Die Adern 11, 12 des Kabels 1 sind gemeinsam in einem durch einen in Kabellängsrichtung L verlaufenden Kabelmantel 15 definierten und von diesem im Querschnitt ringförmig umschlossenen Kabelinnenraum angeordnet. Der Kabelmantel 15 besteht dabei aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material.The
Zwischen dem zur Aufnahme der Adern 11, 12 dienenden Kabelinneren und dem Kabelmantel 15 ist weiterhin ein (in den
Schirmgeflechte werden insbesondere zur Abschirmung bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Frequenzen und Kabelschirme in Form von Folien zur Abschirmung bei vergleichsweise hohen Frequenzen (1 MHz bis 10 GHz) verwendet.Shielding braids are used in particular for shielding at comparatively low frequencies and cable shields in the form of foils for shielding at comparatively high frequencies (1 MHz to 10 GHz).
Der Kabelschirm 14 kann mit dem Kabelmantel 15 zu einer Baueinheit zusammengefasst sein, z.B. indem der Kabelschirm 14 an seiner dem Kabelinneren abgewandten äußeren Oberfläche mit dem Kabelmantel 15 verbunden ist, etwa über ein Klebemittel.The
Zusätzlich zu den Adern 11, 12 sind im Kabelinneren vorliegend Beilauflitzen 21, 22 angeordnet, die sich jeweils gemeinsam mit den Adern 11, 12 entlang der Kabellängsrichtung L erstrecken. Die Beilauflitzen 21, 22 sind elektrisch leitfähig und dabei nicht isoliert, und sie stehen mit dem Kabelschirm 14 in elektrischem Kontakt. Derartige Beilauflitzen 21, 22 dienen dazu, den Kabelschirm 14 definiert auf Massepotenzial zu legen, und zwar vorteilhaft auch dann, wenn der Kabelschirm 14 lokal beschädigt ist, etwa im Fall einer Folie abschnittweise eingerissen ist. Weiterhin können die Beilauflitzen 21, 22 zusätzlich zur Abschirmung des Kabelinneren beitragen.In addition to the

Gemäß einer Variante besteht dabei eine jeweilige Beilauflitze 21, 22 vollständig aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen ferromagnetischen Material. Gemäß einer anderen Variante weist eine jeweilige Beilauflitze 21, 22 mindestens einen aus einem ferromagnetischen Material bestehenden Kern auf, der von einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material umgeben ist. Diese Ausführungsform ermöglicht eine Optimierung einerseits des Kerns einer jeweiligen Beilauflitze 21, 22 mit Blick auf die magnetischen Eigenschaften und die Optimierung des äußeren leitenden Bereiches einer jeweiligen Beilauflitze 21, 22 mit Blick auf die elektrischen Eigenschaften (auch mit Blick auf den Skin-Effekt bei hohen Frequenzen). So kann eine jeweilige Beilauflitze 21, 22 etwa durch einen Kern aus Stahl gebildet sein, der mit Kupfer beschichtet ist. Das Beschichten kann beispielsweise durch Galvanisieren erfolgen.According to one variant, a

Maßgeblich für das beschriebene Verfahren ist, dass eine jeweilige Beilauflitze 21, 22 ein Material mit derartigen magnetischen Eigenschaften enthält, dass sich die Beilauflitze 21, 22 unter dem Einfluss magnetischer Kräfte von den Adern 11, 12 des Kabels 1 separieren lässt. D.h., die magnetischen Eigenschaften der Beilauflitze 21, 22 müssen sich von denjenigen einer jeweiligen Ader 11, 12 unterscheiden.The decisive factor for the method described is that each

Am steckerseitigen Ende des Kabels 1 ist hierauf ein Stützcrimp 16 aufgebracht, der (optional) von einem Verguss 18, zum Beispiel in Form einer Ferrit-Kern-Filter-Umspritzung, umgeben sein kann. Ein solcher kabelseitiger (Ferrit-Kern-)Filter fungiert hier als Mantelwellenfilter, insbesondere zur Unterdrückung von Mantelwellen in Form hochfrequenter Gleichtaktstörungen, die z.B. durch elektrische Geräte verursacht werden und die sich entlang des Kabels 1 ausbreiten. Jener Filter dient somit zur Eliminierung bzw. Reduzierung von Gleichtaktstörungen, die an den beiden parallelen Adern 11, 12 bzw. den elektrischen Leitungen 11a, 12a gleichphasig auftreten und die im vorliegenden Beispiel insbesondere durch Mantelwellen hervorgerufen werden.A
Der sich an das steckerseitige Ende des Kabels 1 anschließende Steckverbinder umfasst einen Außenleiter 8, im Ausführungsbeispiel in Form eines Außenrohres, der aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material besteht und der den Stecker im Querschnitt ringförmig bzw. im Ausführungsbeispiel konkret kreisringförmig umgibt. Der Außenleiter 8 erstreckt sich entlang einer Längsrichtung (Kabellängsrichtung L), d.h., axial, von einem ersten, kabelseitigen Ende 8a zu einem zweiten, ausgangsseitigen Ende 8b. Er kann mit dem Stützcrimp 16 verbunden sein, z.B. stoffschlüssig (durch Schweißen).The plug connector connected to the plug-side end of the
Der Außenleiter 8 weist ein Paar erster Schlitze 81 sowie ein Paar zweiter Schlitze 82 auf. Die Schlitze 81 bzw. 82 eines jeweiligen Schlitzpaares sind vorliegend jeweils einander gegenüberliegend am Außenleiter 8 angeordnet. Außerdem sind die Schlitze 81 des ersten Schlitzpaares relativ zu Schlitzen 82 des zweiten Schlitzpaares im Ausführungsbeispiel entlang der Umfangsrichtung des Außenleiters 8 jeweils um 90° versetzt angeordnet.The
Die Schlitze 81 und 82 erstrecken sich dabei in axialer Richtung a des Steckverbinders (und damit auch entlang der Kabellängsrichtung L) jeweils bis zu dem kabelseitigen axialen Ende des Außenleiters 8 (und bilden dort ein offenes Ende des jeweiligen Schlitzes).The
Die innerhalb des von dem Außenleiter 8 umschlossenen Innenraumes des Steckverbinders angeordneten Komponenten des Steckverbinders umfassen eingangsseitig (d.h., kabelseitig) erste, kabelseitige elektrische Kontaktelemente 31, 32, vorliegend in Form von Kontaktplättchen. An diese ist jeweils einstückig eine Anschlussstelle in Form einer Aufnahme 33, 34 für eine (abisolierte) elektrische Leitung 11a bzw. 12a der Adern 11, 12 des elektrischen Kabels 1 angeformt. Indem die elektrische Leitung 11a, 12a (Seele) einer jeweiligen Ader 11, 12 des Kabels 1 in der jeweils zugeordneten Aufnahme 33, 34 festgelegt wird, besteht über jene (elektrisch leitfähige) Aufnahme 33 bzw. 34 ein elektrischer Kontakt zu einem jeweils zugeordneten kabelseitigen elektrischen Kontaktelement 31, 32.The components of the connector arranged within the interior of the connector enclosed by the
Ausgangsseitig (und von den kabelseitigen Kontaktelementen 31, 32 in axialer Richtung a beabstandet) weist der Steckverbinder (in dem von dem Außenleiter 8 umschlossenen Innenraum) zweite, ausgangsseitige Kontaktelemente 71, 72 auf, an denen jeweils ein Steckerelement 73 bzw. 74, vorliegend in Form eines Steckerstiftes, angeformt ist, über welches der Steckverbinder mit einem Gegenstecker elektrisch verbindbar ist. Die Steckerelemente 73, 74 stehen dabei im Ausführungsbeispiel in axialer Richtung a von dem zugehörigen ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelement 71 bzw. 72 ab.On the output side (and at a distance from the cable-
Zwischen den kabelseitigen Kontaktelementen 31, 32 und den ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelementen 71, 72 (und von diesen jeweils berührungslos beabstandet) ist ein Trägerkörper 4 angeordnet. Der Trägerkörper 4 trägt ein elektrisches Bauelement 5, zum Beispiel in Form eines elektrischen Filterelementes. Der Begriff "elektrisches Bauelement" soll dabei ausdrücklich auch elektronische Bauelemente und insbesondere halbleitende Bauelemente umfassen; weiterhin aktive elektrische Bauelemente ebenso wie passive elektrische Bauelemente. Insbesondere kann es sich bei dem elektrischen Bauelement um einen passiven elektrischen Filter, wie z.B. einen Gleichtaktfilter ("common mode choke"/CMC-Filter), handeln.A
Der Trägerkörper 4 dient dabei zur Halterung und Positionierung des elektrischen Bauelementes 5 innerhalb des Steckverbinders. Der Trägerkörper 4 dient demgegenüber nicht der elektrischen Anbindung des Bauelementes 5. D.h., es besteht kein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen dem elektrischen Bauelement 5 und dem Trägerkörper 4. Auch weist der Trägerkörper 4 keine Leiterbahnen oder sonstige Elemente auf, über welche dem elektrischen Bauelement 5 elektrische Signale zugeführt oder abgenommen werden. Nichtsdestotrotz kann der Trägerkörper 4 auch aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material bestehen, insbesondere, wenn das elektrische Bauelement 5 in einem isolierenden Gehäuse aufgenommen ist. Dabei kann das elektrische Bauelement 5 über sein Gehäuse stoffschlüssig, z.B. durch Löten, Schweißen oder Kleben, mit dem Trägerkörper 4 verbunden sein.The
Das elektrische Bauelement 5 ist über Bond-Drähte 61, 62, 63, 64 einerseits mit den kabelseitigen Kontaktelementen 31, 32 und andererseits mit den ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelementen 71, 72 elektrisch verbunden. Dies bedeutet, dass die Adern 11, 12 des elektrischen Kabels 1 jeweils über das elektrische Bauelement 5 mit den Steckerelementen 73, 74 des Steckverbinders elektrisch verbunden sind. Elektrische Signale, die dem Steckverbinder über die Adern 11, 12 des Kabels 1 zugeführt werden, passieren somit das elektrische Bauelement 5, bevor sie über die Steckerelemente 73, 74 an einen Gegenstecker und damit an eine dem Gegenstecker zugeordnete elektrische Baugruppe ausgegeben werden.The
Insbesondere können über das elektrische Bauelement 5 die kabelseitigen (eingangsseitigen) Kontaktelemente 31, 32 einerseits mit den ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelementen 71, 72 andererseits jeweils paarweise elektrisch verbunden sein. D.h., jedes der kabelseitigen Kontaktelemente 31, 32 ist über das elektrische Bauelement 5 mit jeweils genau einem der ausgangsseitigen Kontaktelemente 71, 72 verbunden, wie nachfolgend anhand der
Der Trägerkörper 4 ist vorliegend als ein Trägerbügel ausgeführt. Zur Aufnahme des elektrischen Bauelementes des 5 weist der Trägerkörper 4 einen (ebene) Trägerbereich 40 auf, der sich (geradlinig) zwischen einem ersten Verbindungsabschnitt 41 und einem zweiten Verbindungsabschnitt 42 erstreckt. Die Ausrichtung des Trägerbereiches 40 ist dabei im Ausführungsbeispiel quer zu der axialen Richtung a des Steckverbinders. Auf den Trägerbereich 40 des Trägerkörpers 4 ist das elektrische Bauelement 5 aufgesetzt.In the present case, the
Von den Verbindungsabschnitten 41, 42 an dem Trägerbereich 40 des Trägerkörpers 4 geht jeweils ein Stützabschnitt 43 bzw. 44 des Trägerkörpers 4 ab. Dieser verläuft gekrümmt (bogenförmig) in Umfangsrichtung entlang des Außenleiters 8. Die beiden Stützabschnitte 43, 44 des Trägerkörpers 4 bilden zusammen mit dem Trägerbereich 40 eine ringförmige Kontur. Der Trägerbereich 40 des Trägerkörpers 4 verläuft dabei im Ausführungsbeispiel (nach Art einer Sekante) geradlinig und quer zu der axialen Richtung a zwischen gegenüberliegenden Stellen des Außenleiters 8.A
Im Bereich des ersten und zweiten Verbindungsabschnittes 41, 42 des Trägerbereiches 40 durchdringt der Trägerkörper 4 jeweils einen der ersten Schlitze 81 des Außenleiters 8 in radialer Richtung. D.h., des Trägerbereiches 40 des Trägerkörpers 4 liegt im Wesentlichen im Inneren des von dem Außenleiter 8 umgebenen Raumes, so dass insbesondere das auf den Trägerkörper 4 aufgesetzte elektrische Bauelement 5 ebenfalls in jenem Innenraum angeordnet ist. Im Bereich seiner Verbindungsabschnitte 41, 42 ist der Trägerkörper 4 jedoch radial (jeweils durch einen der ersten Schlitze 81 hindurch) aus dem Innenraum des Außenleiters 8 hinausgeführt.In the area of the first and second connecting
Die von den Verbindungsabschnitten 41, 42 abgehenden Stützabschnitte 43, 44 des Trägerkörpers 4 erstrecken sich dementsprechend außerhalb des von dem Außenleiter 8 umschlossenen Raumes. Die Stützabschnitte 43, 44 verlaufen dabei im Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils bogenförmig in Umfangsrichtung entlang der Außenwand des Außenleiters 8. Gemeinsam umgreifen die beiden Stützabschnitte 43, 44 den Außenleiter 8 dabei in Umfangsrichtung über einen Winkel von etwa 180°.The supporting
Die Stützabschnitte 43, 44 des Trägerkörpers 4 weisen jeweils ein freies Ende 43a, 44a auf, welches dem Verbindungsabschnitt 41 bzw. 42 abgewandt ist, an welchem der jeweilige Stützabschnitt 43 bzw. 44 von dem Trägerbereich 40 des Trägerkörpers 4 abgeht. Die freien Enden 43a, 44a der Stützabschnitte 43, 44 sind einander zugewandt und liegen einander gegenüber, um gemeinsam mit dem Trägerbereich 40 die beschriebene ringförmige Kontur zu bilden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind die freien Enden 43a, 44a (geringfügig) voneinander beabstandet. In einer anderen Ausführungsform können diese auch aneinander anliegen.The
In den zweiten Schlitzen 82 des Außenleiters 8 sind die von dem elektrischen Kabel 1 abgehenden Beilauflitzen 21, 22 mit ihrem jeweiligen freien Endabschnitt 21a bzw. 22a angeordnet, sodass die zweiten Schlitze 82 durch die Beilauflitzen 21, 22 teilweise verschlossen sind. Die Beilauflitzen 21, 22 können dabei innerhalb des jeweiligen zweiten Schlitzes 82 stoffschlüssig, zum Beispiel durch Löten oder Schweißen, festgelegt sein. Näheres hierzu wird weiter unten anhand der
Der Raum zwischen dem Außenleiter 8 und den darin angeordneten Komponenten 31-34, 4, 40, 5, 61-64 und 71-74 des Steckverbinders ist teilweise durch einen Verguss 85 (Vergussmasse), z.B. in Form eines Spritzgussteiles, befüllt. Dieser liegt vorliegend auf der dem Steckerinneren zugewandten Innenseite des Außenleiters 8 und umschließt gemeinsam mit dem Außenleiter 8 die besagten Komponenten 31-34, 4, 40, 5, 61-64 und 71-74 des Steckverbinders. Der Verguss 85 weist Kanäle 86 auf, in welchen die freien Endabschnitte 21a, 22a der Beilauflitzen 21, 22 aufgenommen und geführt sind.The space between the
Neben der bereits beschriebenen Funktionen als Halter für das elektrische Bauelement 5 kann dem Trägerkörper 4 - als (Multi-)Funktionsbügel - an dem Steckverbinder noch eine Mehrzahl weiterer Funktionen zukommen.In addition to the functions already described as a holder for the
So dient der Trägerkörper 4 vorliegend als ein Positioniermittel zur Positionierung des Außenleiters 8 am Steckverbinder. Die Positionierung des Außenleiters 8 relativ zu dem Trägerkörper 4 erfolgt dabei konkret in der Weise, dass der Außenleiter 8 mit seinen kabelseitig (also am jeweiligen dem elektrischen Kabel 1 zugewandten Ende 81a) offenen ersten Schlitzen 81 über den Trägerkörper 4 geschoben wird, genauer über die Verbindungsabschnitte 41, 42 des Trägerkörpers 4, bis das dem offenen kabelseitigen Ende 81a gegenüberliegende geschlossene Ende 81b des jeweiligen Schlitzes 81 mit dem Trägerkörper 4 in Eingriff tritt, wie in
Zugleich ist der Außenleiter 8 (über die ersten Schlitze 81) im Ergebnis formschlüssig am Trägerkörper 4 angeordnet. Der Außenleiter 8 kann zudem auch stoffschlüssig, z.B. durch Schweißen, mit dem Trägerkörper 4 verbunden sein.At the same time, the outer conductor 8 (via the first slots 81) is arranged in a form-fitting manner on the
An seinem offenen, kabelseitigen Ende 81a kann ein jeweiliger erster Schlitz 81 des Außenleiters 8 mit einer Einführphase versehen sein, um eine Beschädigung des Außenleiters 8 beim Aufschieben auf den Trägerkörper 4 zu vermeiden.A respective
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann der Trägerkörper 4 jeweils axial erstreckte Fortsätze 46 aufweisen, welche die ersten Schlitze 81 (abschnittsweise) überdecken, vgl.
Weitere Funktionen des Trägerkörpers 4 liegen im Ausführungsbeispiel in der Zug- und Druckentlastung der im Innenraum des Außenleiters 8 angeordneten Komponenten 31-34, 4, 40, 5, 71-74 des Steckverbinders bei der Wirkung von Kräften/Drehmomenten am Außenleiter 8 sowie in der Zug -und Druckentlastung der Beilauflitzen 21, 22, insbesondere unter der Wirkung von Torsionskräften (entlang der Umfangsrichtung des Außenleiters 8). Hierdurch lässt sich ein Abscheren der Beilauflitzen 21, 22 verhindern.Other functions of the
An dem Trägerkörper 4 kann zudem ein Kodier-Gehäuse positioniert und eingerastet werden. Weiterhin kann zur AC-Entkopplung (mittels Kondensator) zwischen dem Trägerkörper 4 und den Kontaktelementen 31, 32; 71, 72 ein Kondensator angeordnet werden.In addition, a coding housing can be positioned and snapped into place on the

Zum Einbau der in das Stanzgitter integrierten Komponenten 31-34, 4 und 71-74 in den Steckverbinder kann dessen Außenleiter 8 über die seitlich abstehende Flügel des Trägerkörpers 4 (also die späteren Verbindungs- und Stützabschnitte 41, 43; 42, 44) geschoben werden, vergleiche
Wenn der Trägerkörper 4 und der Außenleiter 8 bestimmungsgemäß zueinander positioniert sind, indem der Außenleiter 8 mit den als Anschlag wirkenden geschlossenen Enden 81b seiner ersten Schlitze 81 am Trägerkörper 4 anliegt, wie in
Weiterhin werden die Komponenten des Stanzgitters (zum Beispiel durch am Außenleiter 8 vorgesehene Montagefenster hindurch) vereinzelt, sodass insgesamt fünf separate Elemente vorliegen, nämlich zwei voneinander getrennte und voneinander beabstandete kabelseitige Anschlusselemente 31, 32 mit jeweils einer einstückig hieran angeformten Aufnahme 33 bzw. 34 sowie zwei voneinander getrennte und voneinander beabstandete ausgangsseitige elektrische Anschlusselemente 71, 72 mit jeweils einem einstückig hieran angeformten Steckerelement 73 bzw. 74, wobei die letztgenannten Anschlusselemente 71, 72 außerdem von den erstgenannten Anschlusselementen 31, 32 separiert und (axial) beabstandet angeordnet sind. Als fünftes Element, welches im Ausführungsbeispiel von sämtlichen elektrischen Anschlusselementen 31, 32, 41, 42 separiert und beabstandet ist, liegt dann noch der Trägerkörper 4 vor.Furthermore, the components of the stamped grid are separated (e.g. through the assembly window provided on the outer conductor 8), so that there are a total of five separate elements, namely two separate and spaced cable-
Das Vereinzeln der besagten Komponenten 30-34, 4, 71-74 kann zum Beispiel mittels Durchtrennen jene Komponenten am Stanzgitter zunächst noch verbindender Stege erfolgen.Said components 30-34, 4, 71-74 can be separated, for example, by severing those components on the stamped grid initially still connecting webs.

Weiterhin wird der bereits weiter oben beschriebenen Gesichtspunkt nochmals verdeutlicht, wonach der Trägerkörper 4, hier insbesondere repräsentiert durch die axial erstreckten seitlichen Fortsätze 46, (in zwei Raumebenen) als Führungshilfe beim Aufschieben und Positionieren des Außenleiters 8 dienen kann.Furthermore, the aspect already described above is clarified again, according to which the
Gleichsam wird deutlich, wie durch die Abdeckung der ersten Schlitze 81 des Außenleiters 8 mittels der Fortsätze 46 des Trägerkörpers 4, insbesondere wegen der gebördelten Ausgestaltung der (im Querschnitt pilzförmigen) Fortsätze 46, ein EMV-Labyrinth gebildet wird, um das Eindringen elektromagnetischer Wellen in den vom Außenleiter 8 umgebenen Raum zu verhindern.At the same time, it becomes clear how an EMC labyrinth is formed by the covering of the
