Definitions
- the invention relates to a shielded electrical connector for connecting or distributing shielded electrical lines or connectors to one another and to methods for producing the shielded electrical connector.
- Such a shielded electrical connector may take the form of the connection between two coaxial cables, or of several shielded cables with one another as a distributor, or the connection may exist between a shielded cable and a connector, or may take the form of a shielded multiple distributor, which has several shielded connectors or shielded cables.
- thermoplastic material contains strands made of thin metal wire, which are pressed against the sleeve-shaped metal housing during the injection molding process in order to produce good electrical continuity between the cable and connector or to the sleeve-like housing of connectors.
- the contact resistance between the shielding parts can deteriorate with temperature changes and with aging.
- a connector with a shielded cable connected to it is known in which an injection-molded shield sleeve made of electrically conductive material, in particular an electrically conductive plastic, electrically connects the cable shield to the coupling nut of the connector.
- Electrically conductive plastic is generally understood to mean a plastic filled with metal fibers.
- Such electrically conductive material can be injection molded (see DIN 24450).
- the electrical conductor ends of the cable are in the connector housing connected, on which a metal sleeve is arranged. Subsequently, an insulating carrier is injection molded, which extends from the conductor shield into the housing.
- An electrically conductive sleeve part is injection molded around the insulating carrier, which connects the conductor shield to the metal sleeve and thus to the housing shield of the electrical connector.
- electrically conductive plastic only makes weak contacts to metallic surfaces of the connector or the cable, so that the contact resistance at the transition surfaces between the electrically conductive plastic material and the metallic surfaces on the connector or on the cable shield has increased values, which can also deteriorate if there are gaps or cracks in the transition surfaces as a result of the shrinking or melting of the plastic.
- conductive plastics disadvantageously have a lower shielding attenuation than metal.
- the invention has for its object to provide a shielded electrical connector with a good shield connection between shielded electrical lines and / or shielded connectors.
- Another aspect of the task is to provide a long-lasting shielded electrical connector in which the contact resistances between the components of the shield involved remain low during the life of the connector.
- Another aspect of the task is to create a shielded electrical connector which is simple and largely machine-made and has as few individual parts as possible.
- the shielded electrical connector contains one or more line elements which belong to at least one line or at least one plug connector. In the case of several lines, these can be at least partially connected to one another to form a distributor.
- the line elements can be designed, for example, as line wires of an electrical cable or as continuations of plug contact elements of a plug connector.
- the connector further comprises one or more shielding sleeves and / or one or more shielding housings which belong to at least one line as cable shielding or at least one plug connector as housing shielding elements.
- the invention further comprises a shield housing which either connects a plurality of shielding sleeves to one another, or at least one shielding sleeve to at least one shielding housing, or connects a plurality of shielding housings to one another, or forms part of the shielding housing.
- the shield housing consists of a cast metal body which has been cast in situ on ring areas of both the one shielding sheath or the plurality of shielding shells and on ring areas of the one shielding sheath or the plurality of shielding shells and there results in an anchoring with low electrical contact resistance and one complete, especially complete shielding of the connector.
- the shield housing can also extend between two shielded cables or cable groups to be connected to one another.
- the shield housing preferably does not consist of prefabricated shell or sleeve parts, but is cast directly on the connector, in particular on plastic components of the connector and around it, during assembly or in the assembly process of the connector. Accordingly, liquid metal or a liquid metal alloy is poured directly onto plastic components of the connector and around it. Accordingly, the shield housing is cast from liquid metal in situ onto the already partially manufactured connector or cast around components of the partially manufactured connector in situ.
- the shielding comprises two crimped sleeves.
- the contact resistance between the shielding sheaths of cables and / or the shielding housings of connectors to the shielding housing cast in situ from liquid metal and connecting the shielding sheaths and / or the shielding housings to one another is low.
- the electrical connections made from the shield housing cast in situ are also long-lasting and are subject to aging processes only to a small extent. Since the invention does not work with prefabricated shield sleeves to be assembled, the manufacture of the connector is simplified. A Particularly great simplification and quality improvement can be seen with angle connectors.
- the shield housing When the shield housing is produced by casting metal directly onto the shielding sleeves and / or shielding housing, there is good anchoring and intimate connection between the adjacent parts of the shield, which leads to a low contact resistance between the parts of the shield. If the materials of the parts to be joined are chosen appropriately, a metallurgical connection can even occur. Such a connection is particularly permanent and of constant quality.
- the shield housing is at least partially cast on and around an intermediate insulating body made of temperature-resistant, electrically insulating material, which protects the line elements during the casting process of the shield housing.
- an intermediate insulating body made of temperature-resistant, electrically insulating material, which protects the line elements during the casting process of the shield housing.
- the ends of the line elements for example the line wires of a cable, are cleared of the shielding sheath, which typically consists of a metal braid. Even if the line elements should be surrounded by line insulation, it can be advantageous to better protect the line elements with an additional intermediate insulating body against the hot molten metal flow when casting the shield housing.
- the intermediate insulating body can consist of heat-resistant, electrically insulating material and can be made sufficiently thick to meet the requirements when casting the shield housing.
- the rear extensions of the contact elements of the connector are used as the line elements.
- the contact elements or line elements are expediently housed by an electrically insulating connector housing.
- a coupling half of the connector which is to work together with the other coupling half of the mating connector, is built, which acts as an electrical shield connection to the mating connector. This represents a simple and safe construction of a shielded connector.
- the shielding housing of the connector can comprise a metallic connecting part and metallic half-shells which are fastened on the insulating connector housing by means of a coupling ring and form part of the coupling half of the connector.
- a rear edge part of the metallic connecting part is encapsulated by the shield housing, so that there is a good electrical connection to the shield housing of the connector, which defines the shielding quality of the connector.
- the connector is designed for a data line and preferably has a plurality of line elements, these are protected by an intermediate insulating body made of electrically insulating and thermally poorly conductive material.
- the thermal conductivity of the material of the intermediate insulating body is preferably between 0.01 and 10 W / mK.
- PET Polyethylene terephthalate
- PUR compact polyurethane
- PEI polytherimide
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- polyamide e.g. Nylon® or Perlon®
- PP polypropylene
- polycarbonate e.g.
- the intermediate insulating body consists of a foamed plastic, with which a thermal conductivity between 0.01 and 0.1 W / mK, preferably around 0.02 W / mK, can be achieved. This provides good protection for sensitive wire insulation when casting the shield housing.
- the shielding housing is preferably cast directly onto the protective earth with a cast branch. This represents a simple and secure connection between the outer shield and the inner protective earth (PE conductor), which overall simplifies the construction of the connector.
- the intermediate insulating body is made from an electrically insulating and thermally highly conductive material.
- the shield housing is preferably provided with cooling fins and, in particular including the cooling fins, is cast in situ on the thermally highly conductive intermediate insulating body from metal.
- the thermal conductivity of the material of the intermediate insulating body is preferably between 0.2 and 10 W / mK.
- LATICONTHER® or a prefabricated intermediate insulating body made of ceramic can be considered. With heavy loads and great heat development in the power connector, good heat dissipation can nevertheless take place with a simple construction of the power connector.
- the intermediate insulating body can be used for both the data connector and the power connector either as a prefabricated intermediate insulating body or, if a thermoplastic plastic is used, injection molded in situ before the shield housing is molded, which allows an efficient manufacturing process.
- the connector according to the invention can also be designed as a multiple distributor for one or more shielded lines and / or one or more shielded plug connectors.
- a distribution body is provided with a plurality of connection points for line elements which either belong to one or more lines or one or more plug connectors. This distribution body and adjacent line elements are protected during the manufacture of the shield housing and also later during the operation of the multiple distributor.
- the shield housing immediately surrounds the intermediate insulating body and, depending on the connection and distribution partner, is cast in situ either on ring areas of shielding sheaths of the shielded cables and / or on end areas of shielding housings of the plug connectors, and is thus intimately connected.
- the design of the distributor thus enables a large number of different multiple distributors, in which one or more connector connections or one or more direct line connections can also be used in a mixed manner.
- the shield housing is preferably surrounded by an insulating protective jacket made of plastic.
- the shield housing made of cast metal can e.g. consist of a low-melting metal alloy.
- the solidus temperature is e.g. between 120 ° and 420 ° C.
- the metal alloy can be a metal solder, e.g. be a tin solder.
- tin solder melting temperature about 230 ° C
- the shield housing can cast components, e.g. melt a tinning of the shielding sheaths or shielding housings and fuse with them, which enables a particularly low-resistance shield connection.
- the invention also relates to methods for producing the shielded electrical connector in its various embodiments.
- the optional intermediate insulating body can be applied in situ by injection molding the intermediate insulating body, or the intermediate insulating body can be used as a prefabricated part.
- the shielded electrical connector is to connect two shielded lines to one another, the shielding sleeves and the line elements at the end of the two lines are cleared, the free ends of the line elements are connected to one another and the intermediate insulating body is applied to the free ends of the line elements connected to one another. Subsequently, the intermediate insulating body and the exposed shielding sleeves are cast around with liquid metal to form the shield housing. In this way, a connector with a low electrical contact resistance is produced between the shielding sheaths of the lines to be connected to one another and the shield housing of the connector. This low electrical contact resistance promises to remain low permanently, even when handling the connector robustly.
- the contact elements of the connector are attached to the end of the line elements of the shielded line and the contact elements are insulated from one another by inserting them into the insulating connector housing.
- the intermediate insulating body is applied between the insulating connector housing and the point at which the line elements have been freed from the common insulating jacket, that is to say on freely remaining or individually insulated line elements, for example by extrusion coating with temperature-resistant plastic.
- a plastic is preferably used which has a temperature resistance in the range from approximately 180 ° C. to 230 ° C.
- a connector can be produced with a simple, robust construction, in which the electrical contact resistance between the shielding sleeve of the feed line and the shielding housing of the connector is low and promises to remain low during the service life of the connector.
- the connector When the connector is designed as a multiple distributor, depending on whether the multiple distributor is to be connected directly to one or more lines or whether the multiple distributor is to be provided with one or more individual plug connectors, the shielding sleeve and the line elements at the end of the line or lines to be connected made free and / or connectors with respective shielding housing and respective line elements are provided. Then the line elements with connected to a distribution body. The intermediate insulating body is then applied to the exposed line elements and around the distribution body, for example by injection molding with plastic. Subsequently, the intermediate insulating body and each exposed shielding sheath is cast and / or the edge zone of the shielding housing in the case of a connector is cast around with liquid metal to form the shielding housing. The invention thus enables great variability in the construction of electrically shielded multiple distributors.
- solder connections between the shield housing and the shielding sleeve can be created by partially melting on the shielding sleeve concerned. Such soldered connections occur during the metal casting of the shield housing if appropriate preparations are made on the respective shield shell, for example if tinned wire mesh is used as the shield shell.
- the 1-6 show the creation of a coaxial cable connector.
- the coaxial cables form a first shielded line 1 and a second shielded line 2.
- Each line comprises a line element 11 or 21, line insulation 12 or 22, a shielding sleeve 10 or 20 and an insulating jacket 13 or 23.
- a metallic coupling sleeve 31 is used, which electrically connects the two bare ends of the line elements 11 and 21 connects with each other.
- An intermediate insulating body 32 made of temperature-resistant insulating plastic is injection molded into the space between the line insulations 12 and 22, so that the line insulations of the two coaxial cables meet at approximately the same diameter.
- the gap between the two exposed insulating sleeves 13 and 23 is closed by a shield housing 30 which electrically connects the shielding sleeves 10 and 20 to one another.
- the shielding sleeves 10, 20 consist, for example, of a metal wire mesh, so that there is good anchoring and good electrical contact with the shield housing 30 during the casting. This leads to a low electrical contact resistance between the shielding sleeves 10, 20 on the one hand and the shield housing 30 on the other.
- the shield housing 30 thus consists of a metal body cast in situ, which is produced by means of a metal casting tool. A corresponding metal casting tool is in Fig. 17 shown. Possibly. the in-situ cast shield housing 30 is produced without sprues using hot runner technology, such as in FIG DE 10 2012 009 790 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the Fig. 7-13 show the emergence of a connector that a shielded line 1 Contact elements 34 of the connector connects.
- the shielded line 1 as a cable comprises one or more line elements 11, line insulation 12, a shielding sleeve 10 and an insulating jacket 13 all around. How from Fig. 7 As can be seen, the front end of the line 1 is stripped so that the bare ends of the line elements 11, onto which the contact elements 34 are crimped, protrude from the line insulation 12 and the shielding sleeve 10 and the insulating jacket 13 are also at the front end of the line 1 a cut at 14 has been shortened.
- the insulating jacket 13 was cut by a cut at 15 until the shielding sleeve 10 was reached, and an insulating jacket edge part 16 was pushed forward in the direction of the line end in order to expose a shielding ring region 101 which is axially delimited on both sides. Furthermore, a union nut 351 is pushed as part of a coupling half 35 onto the end of line 1 until the intact insulation jacket 13 is reached.
- a shield housing 30 is produced by casting the intermediate insulating body 32 and the shielding sleeve 10 in the ring region 101 from liquid metal.
- the shield housing 30 cast in situ thus also extends partially around the insulating connector housing 36 and forms an annular flange 301 there.
- the captive union nut 351 can now be pushed forward over the shield housing 30 to rest against the annular flange 301, as in FIG Fig. 11 shown. This represents the usable condition of the connector.
- a protective jacket 33 is injection molded over the shield housing 30, the connector according to the appearance Fig. 12 and 13 assumes.
- the head of the connector 4 has a union nut 451, which is part of the coupling half, which works together with a mating connector (not shown) in order to couple the connector 4 to the mating connector. Covered by the union nut 451, the front end of an electrically insulating connector housing 46 can be seen, in which the contact elements are arranged, which are connected to the bare ends of the line elements 11.
- the head of the connector 4 also comprises a metallic one Connecting part 41, which protrudes at the rear end of the connector head and extends forwards and around the electrically insulating connector housing 46, in order to ensure the shielding thereof when coupled with a mating connector.
- FIG. 15 An open injection molding tool 5 is shown, which has a cavity for receiving the composite from the head of the connector 4 and the line 1.
- the metallic connecting part 41 has a first sealing ring area 411 which, together with the insulating jacket edge part 16, delimits a casting cavity 50.
- An injection molding channel 51 leads to this casting cavity 50, via which an electrically insulating plastic is injected, which envelops the line elements 11.
- an intermediate insulating body 32 forms, as in FIG Fig. 16 shown.
- the raw connector after Fig. 16 is inserted into the cavity of a metal casting tool 6 ( Fig. 17 ), a pouring cavity 60 being delimited between the insulating jacket 13 of the line 1 and a second sealing ring area 412.
- Pouring channels 61 and 62 lead into this casting cavity 60, through which liquid metal of a metal alloy, for example tin solder, is poured.
- the shielded housing 30 forms from the solidified metal alloy, which encloses the intermediate insulating body 32, the insulating jacket edge part 16 and the shielding sleeve 10 in the shielding ring region 101.
- any sprue nozzles that may have formed are removed, after which a connector that is usable per se is obtained, as described in Fig. 18 is shown.
- Commercially available, shielded connectors have however, a protective jacket 33 around the screen housing 30, as shown in FIG Fig. 19 and 20th is shown.
- the connector which is usable per se, is inserted into a casting cavity of a further injection mold, not shown, in such a way that the injection mold seals on the sealing ring area 412 on the one hand and on an unaffected area of the insulating jacket 13 on the other side of the shield housing 30 on the other. Then the connector of the Fig. 18 extrusion-coated with insulating plastic between the sealing ring area 412 and the unaffected area of the insulating jacket 13, thereby creating the protective jacket 33 surrounding the shield housing 30 and a commercially available connector according to Fig. 19 is obtained.
- the work described can be carried out fully automatically.
- the division into individual steps and implementation of these steps along a production line, which can also be designed as a rotary table, enables rapid production.
- the total cycle time can be shorter than if the connector were manufactured with a single, but then thick-walled overmolding. If the encapsulation with insulating plastic and the encapsulation with liquid metal are carried out simultaneously for three successive connectors, the throughput time per connector is determined by the longest cycle time in the manufacturing process. It should be noted that the encapsulation with metal has a very short cycle time.
- the Fig. 20 , 21 show a longitudinal section through a power connector with protective earth connection (PE connection) of the shield housing 30.

- Extending around the connector housing 46 is a tubular metallic connecting part 41 which is provided with engagement projections 413 in order to hold metallic half-shells 42 which, with screw connections 420, form part of the coupling half 45 of the connector 4.
- the half-shells 42 of which there are two, for example, are held by a collar 43 on the metallic connecting part 41 and the insulating connector housing 46 by pressing force.
- the metallic connecting part 41 and the half-shells 42 form a shielding housing 40 around the connector 4 in question, which has a rear ring region 401, on which it is intimately connected to the shielding housing 30 due to the in situ metal casting of the shielding housing 30.
- the power connector according to Fig. 20 and 21 is manufactured in a similar way as with Figures 14-19 has been described.
- the end of the line 1 is provided with a shielding ring area 101 to expose the shielding sleeve 10 and at the head of the connector 4 there is the metallic connecting part 41, which together with the half-shells 42 represents the shielding on the entire connector head.
- the shielding on the connector 4 is brought about by the shield housing 30, which by in situ Metal casting in the with Figures 14-19 described manner is generated.
- a contact element 440 leads protective earth (PE) and is connected to the in-situ cast shield housing 30 via a branch 303 which is also molded directly.
- the intermediate insulating body 32 consists of electrically insulating and thermally poorly conductive material in order to protect the line elements 11 during the manufacture of the shield housing 30 by the metal casting against the heat acting from the molten metal.

- This distribution body 8 contains two printed circuit boards 81 and 82 with distribution lines between connection points 83, 84 and 85.
- the connection points 85 are connected to one another via cross-connection lines 86.
- the plug connectors 7 comprise a metallic connecting part which has an outer shielding housing 70 ( Fig. 28 ) forms and serves the coupling to a complementary mating connector.
- An electrically insulating connector housing 76 is accommodated in the interior of the shield housing 70 in order to hold the contact elements 74.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen geschirmten elektrischen Verbinder zur Verbindung oder Verteilung von geschirmten elektrischen Leitungen oder Steckverbindern untereinander sowie auf Verfahren zur Herstellung des geschirmten elektrischen Verbinders.The invention relates to a shielded electrical connector for connecting or distributing shielded electrical lines or connectors to one another and to methods for producing the shielded electrical connector.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen geschirmten elektrischen Verbinder mit guter Schirmverbindung zwischen geschirmten elektrischen Leitungen und/oder geschirmten Steckverbindern zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a shielded electrical connector with a good shield connection between shielded electrical lines and / or shielded connectors.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Aufgabe ist es, einen langlebigen geschirmten elektrischen Verbinder zu schaffen, bei welchem die Übergangswiderstände zwischen den beteiligten Komponenten der Schirmung während der Lebensdauer des Verbinders gering bleiben.Another aspect of the task is to provide a long-lasting shielded electrical connector in which the contact resistances between the components of the shield involved remain low during the life of the connector.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Aufgabe ist es, einen geschirmten elektrischen Verbinder zu schaffen, welcher einfach und weitestgehend maschinell herstellbar ist und möglichst wenige Einzelteile aufweist.Another aspect of the task is to create a shielded electrical connector which is simple and largely machine-made and has as few individual parts as possible.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch den Gegenstand der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen definiert.The object of the invention is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims. Advantageous developments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.
Im Einzelnen enthält der geschirmte elektrische Verbinder ein oder mehrere Leitungselemente, die wenigstens einer Leitung oder wenigstens einem Steckverbinder angehören. Im Falle von mehreren Leitungen können diese wenigstens teilweise miteinander verbunden sein, um einen Verteiler zu bilden. Die Leitungselemente können beispielsweise als Leitungsadern eines elektrischen Kabels oder als Fortsetzungen von Steckerkontaktelementen eines Steckverbinders ausgebildet sein. Der Verbinder umfasst ferner eine oder mehrere Abschirmhüllen und/oder ein oder mehrere Abschirmgehäuse, die als Kabelabschirmung wenigstens einer Leitung bzw. als Gehäuseabschirmelemente wenigstens einem Steckverbinder angehören. Die Erfindung umfasst ferner ein Schirmgehäuse, das entweder mehrere Abschirmhüllen untereinander, oder wenigstens eine Abschirmhülle mit wenigstens einem Abschirmgehäuse, oder mehrere Abschirmgehäuse untereinander verbindet, oder einen Teil des Abschirmgehäuses bildet. Das Schirmgehäuse besteht aus einem gegossenen Metallkörper, der in situ auf Ringbereiche sowohl der einen Abschirmhülle oder der mehreren Abschirmhüllen, als auch auf Ringbereiche des einen Abschirmgehäuses oder der mehreren Abschirmgehäuse gegossen worden ist und dort eine Verankerung mit geringem elektrischem Übergangswiderstand ergibt und eine vollständige, insbesondere lückenlose Schirmung des Verbinders bewirkt. Das Schirmgehäuse kann sich auch zwischen zwei miteinander zu verbindenden, geschirmten Kabeln oder Kabelgruppen erstrecken.In detail, the shielded electrical connector contains one or more line elements which belong to at least one line or at least one plug connector. In the case of several lines, these can be at least partially connected to one another to form a distributor. The line elements can be designed, for example, as line wires of an electrical cable or as continuations of plug contact elements of a plug connector. The connector further comprises one or more shielding sleeves and / or one or more shielding housings which belong to at least one line as cable shielding or at least one plug connector as housing shielding elements. The invention further comprises a shield housing which either connects a plurality of shielding sleeves to one another, or at least one shielding sleeve to at least one shielding housing, or connects a plurality of shielding housings to one another, or forms part of the shielding housing. The shield housing consists of a cast metal body which has been cast in situ on ring areas of both the one shielding sheath or the plurality of shielding shells and on ring areas of the one shielding sheath or the plurality of shielding shells and there results in an anchoring with low electrical contact resistance and one complete, especially complete shielding of the connector. The shield housing can also extend between two shielded cables or cable groups to be connected to one another.
Mit anderen Worten besteht das Schirmgehäuse vorzugsweise nicht aus vorgefertigten Schalen- oder Hülsenteilen, sondern es wird beim Zusammenbau bzw. im Konfektionsprozess des Verbinders unmittelbar an den Verbinder, insbesondere an aus Kunststoff bestehende Bestandteile des Verbinders und darum herum angegossen. Es wird demnach flüssiges Metall bzw. eine flüssige Metalllegierung direkt an aus Kunststoff bestehende Bestandteile des Verbinders und darum herum gegossen. Das Schirmgehäuse wird demnach aus flüssigem Metall in situ an den bereits teilgefertigten Verbinder angegossen bzw. um Bestandteile des teilgefertigten Verbinders in situ herum gegossen.In other words, the shield housing preferably does not consist of prefabricated shell or sleeve parts, but is cast directly on the connector, in particular on plastic components of the connector and around it, during assembly or in the assembly process of the connector. Accordingly, liquid metal or a liquid metal alloy is poured directly onto plastic components of the connector and around it. Accordingly, the shield housing is cast from liquid metal in situ onto the already partially manufactured connector or cast around components of the partially manufactured connector in situ.
Damit kann Lückenbildung vermieden werden, welche z.B. auftreten kann, wenn eine Hülse auf die Abschirmhülle eines Kabels gecrimpt wird, oder die Abschirmung zwei gecrimpte Hülsen umfasst. Ferner ist der Übergangswiderstand zwischen den Abschirmhüllen von Kabeln und/oder den Abschirmgehäusen von Steckverbindern zu dem in situ aus flüssigem Metall angegossenen und die Abschirmhüllen und/oder die Abschirmgehäuse miteinander verbindenden Schirmgehäuse gering. Die von dem in situ angegossenen Schirmgehäuse hergestellten elektrischen Verbindungen sind ferner langlebig und unterliegen nur in geringem Maße Alterungsprozessen. Da bei der Erfindung nicht mit vorgefertigten aufzumontierenden Schirmhülsen gearbeitet wird, ist die Herstellung des Verbinders vereinfacht. Eine besonders große Vereinfachung und Qualitätsverbesserung ergibt sich ersichtlich bei Winkelverbindern.In this way, gap formation can be avoided, which can occur, for example, when a sleeve is crimped onto the shielding sleeve of a cable, or the shielding comprises two crimped sleeves. Furthermore, the contact resistance between the shielding sheaths of cables and / or the shielding housings of connectors to the shielding housing cast in situ from liquid metal and connecting the shielding sheaths and / or the shielding housings to one another is low. The electrical connections made from the shield housing cast in situ are also long-lasting and are subject to aging processes only to a small extent. Since the invention does not work with prefabricated shield sleeves to be assembled, the manufacture of the connector is simplified. A Particularly great simplification and quality improvement can be seen with angle connectors.
Bei der Herstellung des Schirmgehäuses durch Metallguss direkt an die Abschirmhüllen und/oder Abschirmgehäuse ergibt sich eine gute Verankerung und innige Verbindung zwischen den angrenzenden Teilen der Schirmung, was zu einem geringen Übergangswiderstand zwischen den Teilen der Abschirmung führt. Bei entsprechender Wahl der Materialien der miteinander zu verbindenden Teile kann es sogar zu einer metallurgischen Verbindung kommen. Eine solche Verbindung ist besonders dauerhaft und von gleichbleibender Qualität.When the shield housing is produced by casting metal directly onto the shielding sleeves and / or shielding housing, there is good anchoring and intimate connection between the adjacent parts of the shield, which leads to a low contact resistance between the parts of the shield. If the materials of the parts to be joined are chosen appropriately, a metallurgical connection can even occur. Such a connection is particularly permanent and of constant quality.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Schirmgehäuse wenigstens teilweise auf und um einen Zwischenisolierkörper aus temperaturfestem elektrisch isolierendem Material gegossen, der die Leitungselemente beim Gießvorgang des Schirmgehäuses schützt. Zur Handhabung der Leitungselemente beim Zusammenbau des Verbinders werden die Enden der Leitungselemente, beispielsweise die Leitungsadern eines Kabels, von der Abschirmhülle frei gemacht, die typischerweise aus einem Metallgeflecht besteht. Auch wenn die Leitungselemente von einer Leitungsisolierung umgeben sein sollten, kann es vorteilhaft sein, die Leitungselemente mit einem zusätzlichen Zwischenisolierkörper besser gegen den heißen Metallschmelzfluss beim Gießen des Schirmgehäuses zu schützen. Der Zwischenisolierkörper kann aus wärmeresistentem elektrisch isolierendem Material bestehen und genügend dick gemacht werden, um den Anforderungen beim Gießen des Schirmgehäuses zu genügen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the shield housing is at least partially cast on and around an intermediate insulating body made of temperature-resistant, electrically insulating material, which protects the line elements during the casting process of the shield housing. To handle the line elements when assembling the connector, the ends of the line elements, for example the line wires of a cable, are cleared of the shielding sheath, which typically consists of a metal braid. Even if the line elements should be surrounded by line insulation, it can be advantageous to better protect the line elements with an additional intermediate insulating body against the hot molten metal flow when casting the shield housing. The intermediate insulating body can consist of heat-resistant, electrically insulating material and can be made sufficiently thick to meet the requirements when casting the shield housing.
Im Falle eines Steckverbinders zum paarenden Verbinden mit einem Gegensteckverbinder werden die rückwärtigen Fortsetzungen der Kontaktelemente des Steckverbinders als die Leitungselemente genutzt. Die Kontaktelemente oder Leitungselemente werden zweckmäßig von einem elektrisch isolierenden Verbindergehäuse beherbergt. Um dieses Verbindergehäuse, welches die Kontaktelemente oder Leitungselemente hält, ist eine Kupplungshälfte des Steckverbinders, die mit der anderen Kupplungshälfte des Gegensteckverbinders zusammen arbeiten soll, herum gebaut, die als eine elektrische Abschirmverbindung zu dem Gegensteckverbinder wirksam ist. Dies stellt einen einfachen und sicheren Aufbau eines geschirmten Steckverbinders dar.In the case of a connector for mating connection with a mating connector, the rear extensions of the contact elements of the connector are used as the line elements. The contact elements or line elements are expediently housed by an electrically insulating connector housing. Around this connector housing, which holds the contact elements or line elements, a coupling half of the connector, which is to work together with the other coupling half of the mating connector, is built, which acts as an electrical shield connection to the mating connector. This represents a simple and safe construction of a shielded connector.
Das Abschirmgehäuse des Steckverbinders kann ein metallisches Verbindungsteil und metallische Halbschalen umfassen, die auf dem isolierenden Verbindergehäuse mithilfe eines Überwurfrings befestigt sind und Teil der Kupplungshälfte des Steckverbinders bilden. Ein rückwärtiges Randteil des metallischen Verbindungsteils ist von dem Schirmgehäuse umgossen, so dass eine gute elektrische Verbindung zu dem Abschirmgehäuse des Steckverbinders gegeben ist, was die Abschirmgüte des Steckverbinders ausmacht.The shielding housing of the connector can comprise a metallic connecting part and metallic half-shells which are fastened on the insulating connector housing by means of a coupling ring and form part of the coupling half of the connector. A rear edge part of the metallic connecting part is encapsulated by the shield housing, so that there is a good electrical connection to the shield housing of the connector, which defines the shielding quality of the connector.
Wenn der Steckverbinder für eine Datenleitung ausgebildet und vorzugsweise mehrere Leitungselemente aufweist, werden diese von einem Zwischenisolierkörper aus elektrisch isolierendem und thermisch schlecht leitendem Material geschützt. Die thermische Leitfähigkeit des Materials des Zwischenisolierkörpers liegt in diesem Fall vorzugsweise zwischen 0,01 und 10 W/m-K. In Betracht kommen z.B. Polyethylenterephtalat (PET), Polyurethan kompakt (PUR), Polyimid (z.B. Kapton®), Polytherimid (PEI), Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE), Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), Polyamid (z.B. Nylon® oder Perlon®), Polypropylen (PP), Polycarbonat (z.B. Makrolon®), Epoxydharz, Polymethylmetacrylat (PMMA), Polyethylen (PE), Polystyrol (PS), Polysiloxan (Silikon) und Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT). Ggf. besteht der Zwischenisolierkörper aus einem geschäumten Kunststoff, mit welchem eine thermische Leitfähigkeit zwischen 0,01 und 0,1 W/m-K, vorzugsweise um 0,02 W/m-K, erreicht werden kann. Hierdurch wird ein guter Schutz empfindlicher Drahtisolierungen beim Gießen des Schirmgehäuses erzielt.If the connector is designed for a data line and preferably has a plurality of line elements, these are protected by an intermediate insulating body made of electrically insulating and thermally poorly conductive material. In this case, the thermal conductivity of the material of the intermediate insulating body is preferably between 0.01 and 10 W / mK. Consider, for example Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), compact polyurethane (PUR), polyimide (e.g. Kapton®), polytherimide (PEI), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (e.g. Nylon® or Perlon®), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate ( e.g. Makrolon®), epoxy resin, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polysiloxane (silicone) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Possibly. The intermediate insulating body consists of a foamed plastic, with which a thermal conductivity between 0.01 and 0.1 W / mK, preferably around 0.02 W / mK, can be achieved. This provides good protection for sensitive wire insulation when casting the shield housing.
Wenn eines der Leitungselemente des Steckverbinders die Schutzerde führt (PE-Leiter), wird das Abschirmgehäuse vorzugsweise mit einer gegossenen Abzweigung unmittelbar an die Schutzerde angegossen. Dies stellt eine einfache und sichere Verbindung zwischen der äußeren Abschirmung und der innen verlaufenden Schutzerde (PE-Leiter) dar, welche insgesamt die Konstruktion des Steckverbinders vereinfacht.If one of the line elements of the connector carries the protective earth (PE conductor), the shielding housing is preferably cast directly onto the protective earth with a cast branch. This represents a simple and secure connection between the outer shield and the inner protective earth (PE conductor), which overall simplifies the construction of the connector.
Im Falle eines Leistungssteckverbinders wird der Zwischenisolierkörper aus einem elektrisch isolierenden und thermisch gut leitenden Material hergestellt. Vorzugsweise ist das Schirmgehäuse mit Kühlrippen versehen und wird insbesondere einschließlich der Kühlrippen auf den thermisch gut leitenden Zwischenisolierkörper in situ aus Metall gegossen. Die thermische Leitfähigkeit des Materials des Zwischenisolierkörpers liegt in diesem Fall vorzugsweise zwischen 0,2 und 10 W/m-K. In Betracht kommen z.B. LATICONTHER® oder ein vorgefertigter Zwischenisolierkörpers aus Keramik. Bei starker Belastung und großer Wärmeentwicklung beim Leistungssteckverbinder kann somit bei einem einfachen Aufbau des Leistungssteckverbinders trotzdem eine gute Wärmeabfuhr erfolgen.In the case of a power connector, the intermediate insulating body is made from an electrically insulating and thermally highly conductive material. The shield housing is preferably provided with cooling fins and, in particular including the cooling fins, is cast in situ on the thermally highly conductive intermediate insulating body from metal. In this case, the thermal conductivity of the material of the intermediate insulating body is preferably between 0.2 and 10 W / mK. For example, LATICONTHER® or a prefabricated intermediate insulating body made of ceramic can be considered. With heavy loads and great heat development in the power connector, good heat dissipation can nevertheless take place with a simple construction of the power connector.
Der Zwischenisolierkörper kann sowohl beim Datenverbinder als auch beim Leistungsverbinder entweder als vorgefertigter Zwischenisolierkörper eingesetzt werden oder, wenn ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff verwendet wird, in situ spritzgegossen werden, bevor das Schirmgehäuse gegossen wird, was einen effizienten Herstellungsprozess erlaubt.The intermediate insulating body can be used for both the data connector and the power connector either as a prefabricated intermediate insulating body or, if a thermoplastic plastic is used, injection molded in situ before the shield housing is molded, which allows an efficient manufacturing process.
Der erfindungsgemäße Verbinder kann auch als Mehrfachverteiler für eine oder mehrere geschirmte Leitungen und/oder einen oder mehrere geschirmte Steckverbinder ausgestaltet sein. Es wird ein Verteilkörper mit mehreren Anschlussstellen für Leitungselemente vorgesehen, die entweder einer oder mehreren Leitungen, oder einem oder mehreren Steckverbindern angehören. Dieser Verteilkörper und angrenzende Leitungselemente werden bei der Herstellung des Schirmgehäuses und auch später während des Betriebs des Mehrfachverteilers geschützt. Das Schirmgehäuse umgibt den Zwischenisolierkörper unmittelbar und ist je nach Verbindungs- und Verteilpartner entweder an Ringbereiche von Abschirmhüllen der geschirmten Leitungen und/oder an Endbereiche von Abschirmgehäusen der Steckverbinder in situ gegossen und somit innig angeschlossen. Die Konstruktion des Verteilers ermöglicht somit eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Mehrfachverteilern, bei denen ein oder mehrere Steckverbinderanschlüsse oder ein oder mehrere unmittelbare Leitungsanschlüsse auch gemischt angewendet werden können. Um der erfindungsgemäßen Erfindung ein gefälliges Aussehen zu geben und das Schirmgehäuse elektrisch zu isolieren, wie es handelsüblich ist, wird das Schirmgehäuse vorzugsweise von einem isolierenden Schutzmantel aus Kunststoff umgeben.The connector according to the invention can also be designed as a multiple distributor for one or more shielded lines and / or one or more shielded plug connectors. A distribution body is provided with a plurality of connection points for line elements which either belong to one or more lines or one or more plug connectors. This distribution body and adjacent line elements are protected during the manufacture of the shield housing and also later during the operation of the multiple distributor. The shield housing immediately surrounds the intermediate insulating body and, depending on the connection and distribution partner, is cast in situ either on ring areas of shielding sheaths of the shielded cables and / or on end areas of shielding housings of the plug connectors, and is thus intimately connected. The design of the distributor thus enables a large number of different multiple distributors, in which one or more connector connections or one or more direct line connections can also be used in a mixed manner. In order to give the invention a pleasing appearance and to electrically isolate the shield housing, as is customary in the trade, the shield housing is preferably surrounded by an insulating protective jacket made of plastic.
Das aus Metallguss bestehende Schirmgehäuse kann z.B. aus einer niedrig schmelzenden Metalllegierung bestehen. Die Solidustemperatur liegt dabei z.B. zwischen 120° und 420°C. Insbesondere kann die Metalllegierung ein Metalllot, z.B. ein Zinn-Lot sein. Z.B. haben sich bei Verwendung von Zinn-Lot (Schmelztemperatur etwa 230°C) keine Schädigungen der umgossenen Kunststoffteile, wie Leitungsisolierungen und Zwischenisolierkörper gezeigt. Insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Metalllot kann das Schirmgehäuse beim in situ Gießen Bestandteile, z.B. eine Verzinnung der Abschirmhüllen oder Abschirmgehäuse anschmelzen und mit dieser verschmelzen, was eine besonders niederohmige Schirm-Verbindung ermöglicht.The shield housing made of cast metal can e.g. consist of a low-melting metal alloy. The solidus temperature is e.g. between 120 ° and 420 ° C. In particular, the metal alloy can be a metal solder, e.g. be a tin solder. E.g. When using tin solder (melting temperature about 230 ° C), no damage to the cast plastic parts, such as cable insulation and intermediate insulating body, has been shown. In particular when using metal solder, the shield housing can cast components, e.g. melt a tinning of the shielding sheaths or shielding housings and fuse with them, which enables a particularly low-resistance shield connection.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch Verfahren zur Herstellung des geschirmten elektrischen Verbinders in seinen verschiedenen Ausführungsformen.The invention also relates to methods for producing the shielded electrical connector in its various embodiments.
Das Verfahren zur Herstellung des geschirmten elektrischen Verbinders wird demnach in seiner allgemeinen Form wie folgt durchgeführt:
- a) Verbinden der freien Enden der Leitungselemente miteinander;
- b) Optional Aufbringen des Zwischenisolierkörpers auf den freien Enden der miteinander verbundenen Leitungselemente;
- c) Umgießen der einen oder mehreren freigemachten Abschirmhüllen und/oder der einen oder mehreren Abschirmgehäuse und gegebenenfalls des Zwischenisolierkörpers mit flüssigem Metall zur Bildung des Schirmgehäuses.
- a) connecting the free ends of the line elements to each other;
- b) optionally applying the intermediate insulating body to the free ends of the interconnected line elements;
- c) Pouring the one or more exposed shielding sleeves and / or the one or more shielding housings and optionally the intermediate insulating body with liquid metal to form the shielding housing.
Das Aufbringen des optionalen Zwischenisolierkörper kann dabei materialabhängig durch Spritzgießen des Zwischenisolierkörpers in situ erfolgen oder der Zwischenisolierkörper kann als vorgefertigtes Teil eingesetzt werden.Depending on the material, the optional intermediate insulating body can be applied in situ by injection molding the intermediate insulating body, or the intermediate insulating body can be used as a prefabricated part.
Wenn der geschirmte elektrische Verbinder zwei geschirmte Leitungen miteinander verbinden soll, werden die Abschirmhüllen und die Leitungselemente am Ende der beiden Leitungen frei gemacht, die freien Enden der Leitungselemente werden miteinander verbunden und der Zwischenisolierkörper wird auf den freien Enden der miteinander verbundenen Leitungselemente aufgebracht. Anschließend wird der Zwischenisolierkörper und die freigemachten Abschirmhüllen mit flüssigem Metall zur Bildung des Schirmgehäuses umgossen. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein Verbinder mit niedrigem elektrischem Übergangswiderstand zwischen den Abschirmhüllen der miteinander zu verbindenden Leitungen und dem Schirmgehäuse des Verbinders. Dieser niedrige elektrische Übergangswiderstand verspricht dauerhaft niedrig zu bleiben, auch bei robustem Umgang mit dem Verbinder.If the shielded electrical connector is to connect two shielded lines to one another, the shielding sleeves and the line elements at the end of the two lines are cleared, the free ends of the line elements are connected to one another and the intermediate insulating body is applied to the free ends of the line elements connected to one another. Subsequently, the intermediate insulating body and the exposed shielding sleeves are cast around with liquid metal to form the shield housing. In this way, a connector with a low electrical contact resistance is produced between the shielding sheaths of the lines to be connected to one another and the shield housing of the connector. This low electrical contact resistance promises to remain low permanently, even when handling the connector robustly.
Bei der Herstellung eines elektrisch geschirmten Steckverbinders, bei dem Leitungselemente einer geschirmten Leitung an Kontaktelemente des Verbinders angeschlossen werden, werden die Abschirmhülle und die Leitungselemente am Ende der geschirmten Leitung frei gemacht, die Kontaktelemente des Steckverbinders werden am Ende der Leitungselemente der geschirmten Leitung angebracht und durch Einfügen in das isolierende Verbindergehäuse werden die Kontaktelemente voneinander isoliert. Zwischen dem isolierenden Verbindergehäuse und der Stelle, an der die Leitungselemente von dem gemeinsamen Isoliermantel befreit worden sind, also auf frei verbleibenden oder einzeln isolierten Leitungselementen, wird der Zwischenisolierkörper, z.B. durch Umspritzen mit temperaturfestem Kunststoff, aufgebracht. Vorzugsweise wird ein Kunststoff verwendet, welcher eine Temperaturfestigkeit bis in den Bereich von etwa 180°C bis 230°C aufweist. Anschließend werden der Zwischenisolierkörper und die frei gemachte Abschirmhülle der Leitung mit flüssigem Metall zur Bildung des Schirmgehäuses umgossen. Auf diese Weise kann ein Steckverbinder mit einfachem, robustem Aufbau hergestellt werden, bei dem der elektrische Übergangswiderstand zwischen Abschirmhülle der Zuführungsleitung und dem Abschirmgehäuse des Steckverbinders niedrig ist und während der Lebensdauer des Steckverbinders niedrig zu bleiben verspricht.In the manufacture of an electrically shielded connector, in which line elements of a shielded line are connected to contact elements of the connector, the shielding sleeve and the line elements at the end of the shielded line, the contact elements of the connector are attached to the end of the line elements of the shielded line and the contact elements are insulated from one another by inserting them into the insulating connector housing. The intermediate insulating body is applied between the insulating connector housing and the point at which the line elements have been freed from the common insulating jacket, that is to say on freely remaining or individually insulated line elements, for example by extrusion coating with temperature-resistant plastic. A plastic is preferably used which has a temperature resistance in the range from approximately 180 ° C. to 230 ° C. Subsequently, the intermediate insulating body and the exposed shielding sheath of the line are cast around with liquid metal to form the shield housing. In this way, a connector can be produced with a simple, robust construction, in which the electrical contact resistance between the shielding sleeve of the feed line and the shielding housing of the connector is low and promises to remain low during the service life of the connector.
Bei einer Ausgestaltung des Verbinders als Mehrfachverteiler werden je nachdem, ob der Mehrfachverteiler mit einer oder mehreren Leitungen unmittelbar zu verbinden ist, oder ob der Mehrfachverteiler mit einem oder mehreren einzelnen Steckverbindern zu versehen ist, die Abschirmhülle und die Leitungselemente am Ende der anzuschließenden Leitung oder Leitungen frei gemacht und/oder es werden Steckverbinder mit jeweiligem Abschirmgehäuse und jeweiligen Leitungselementen bereit gestellt. Anschließend werden die Leitungselemente mit einem Verteilkörper verbunden. Daraufhin wird der Zwischenisolierkörper auf den frei gemachten Leitungselementen und um den Verteilkörper herum aufgebracht, z.B. durch Umspritzen mit Kunststoff hergestellt. Anschließend wird der Zwischenisolierkörper und jede frei gemachte Abschirmhülle umgossen und/oder die Randzone des Abschirmgehäuses im Falle eines Steckverbinders wird mit flüssigem Metall zur Bildung des Schirmgehäuses umgossen. Die Erfindung ermöglicht somit eine große Variabilität im Aufbau von elektrisch geschirmten Mehrfachverteilern.When the connector is designed as a multiple distributor, depending on whether the multiple distributor is to be connected directly to one or more lines or whether the multiple distributor is to be provided with one or more individual plug connectors, the shielding sleeve and the line elements at the end of the line or lines to be connected made free and / or connectors with respective shielding housing and respective line elements are provided. Then the line elements with connected to a distribution body. The intermediate insulating body is then applied to the exposed line elements and around the distribution body, for example by injection molding with plastic. Subsequently, the intermediate insulating body and each exposed shielding sheath is cast and / or the edge zone of the shielding housing in the case of a connector is cast around with liquid metal to form the shielding housing. The invention thus enables great variability in the construction of electrically shielded multiple distributors.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren können Lötverbindungen zwischen Schirmgehäuse und Abschirmhülle durch teilweises Aufschmelzen an der betroffenen Abschirmhülle geschaffen werden. Solche Lötverbindungen entstehen bei dem Metallgießen des Schirmgehäuses, wenn entsprechende Vorbereitungen an der jeweiligen Abschirmhülle getroffen werden, beispielsweise wenn verzinnte Drahtgeflechte als Abschirmhülle eingesetzt werden.In the method according to the invention, solder connections between the shield housing and the shielding sleeve can be created by partially melting on the shielding sleeve concerned. Such soldered connections occur during the metal casting of the shield housing if appropriate preparations are made on the respective shield shell, for example if tinned wire mesh is used as the shield shell.

Danach wird der Steckverbinder der
Die beschriebenen Arbeiten können vollautomatisiert durchgeführt werden. Durch die Aufteilung in einzelne Schritte und Durchführung dieser Schritte entlang einer Fertigungsstraße, die auch als Rundteller ausgeführt sein kann, ist eine rasche Fertigung möglich. Die gesamte Zykluszeit kann dabei geringer sein, als wenn der Steckverbinder mit einer einzelnen, aber dann dickwandigeren Umspritzung hergestellt werden würde. Wenn die Umspritzungen mit isolierendem Kunststoff und das Umgießen mit flüssigem Metall für drei aufeinander folgende Steckverbinder gleichzeitig ausgeführt werden, wird die Durchlaufzeit pro Stück Steckverbinder von der längsten Zykluszeit in dem Herstellungsprozess bestimmt. Es sei bemerkt, dass das Umgießen mit Metall eine sehr kurze Zykluszeit aufweist.The work described can be carried out fully automatically. The division into individual steps and implementation of these steps along a production line, which can also be designed as a rotary table, enables rapid production. The total cycle time can be shorter than if the connector were manufactured with a single, but then thick-walled overmolding. If the encapsulation with insulating plastic and the encapsulation with liquid metal are carried out simultaneously for three successive connectors, the throughput time per connector is determined by the longest cycle time in the manufacturing process. It should be noted that the encapsulation with metal has a very short cycle time.

Zum Zwecke der Erfindung sind verschiedene niedrigschmelzende Metalle und Metalllegierungen, insbesondere Metalllote brauchbar. Es kommen alle bleihaltigen Zinnlote, alle bleifreien Zinnlote, auch Sn-Bi-Lote mit Schmelzpunkt um 130°C sowie Silberlote in Betracht. Die Abschirmhülle 10 der betreffenden Leitungen oder das Verbindungsteil 41 eines entsprechend ausgebildeten Verbinders können verzinnt sein, was der Verbindung mit dem Schirmgehäuse 30 förderlich ist, insbesondere wenn diese aus einem Zinnlot besteht, so dass dieses mit dem Schirmgehäuse 30 verschmilzt. Auch die Vernickelung der angesprochenen Teile ist möglich. Die angesprochenen Teile können aber auch aus blankem Edelstahl bestehen. Abschirmhüllen können auch als Schirmgeflecht mit blanken Kupferdrähten ausgeführt sein.Various low-melting metals and metal alloys, in particular metal solders, can be used for the purpose of the invention. All lead-containing tin solders come all lead-free tin solders, including Sn-Bi solders with a melting point of around 130 ° C and silver solders. The shielding
Für die Stabilität der Verbindung zwischen dem Verbindungsteil 41 einerseits und dem Schirmgehäuse 30 andererseits, bzw. zwischen der Abschirmhülle 10 und dem Schirmgehäuse 30, ist es günstig, wenn es dünne Rippen und dünne Schirmdrähte gibt, die sich bei der Metallumgießung stark erwärmen können, so dass, wenn diese dünnen Teile verzinnt sind, die Oberfläche dieser dünnen Teile lokal gut anschmilzt und dort eine gute Verlötung stattfindet. Dadurch ergibt sich ein besonders niedriger elektrischer Übergangswiderstand.For the stability of the connection between the connecting
Bei durchgeführten Tests hat der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder einen Übergangswiderstand im Milliohmbereich ergeben. Dieser sehr geringe Übergangswiderstand war auch nach durchgeführten großen Temperaturwechseln unverändert geblieben.In tests carried out, the connector according to the invention has produced a contact resistance in the milliohm range. This very low contact resistance remained unchanged even after large temperature changes were carried out.
Eine weitere bemerkenswerte Eigenschaft des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders ist die Ausbildung der Schirmgehäuses 30 als vollständig geschlossene Einheit, abgesehen von den axialen Öffnungen für die Zuleitungen oder für die Einzelsteckverbinder. An diesen Öffnungen ist die Schirmung der jeweils angeschlossenen Leitung bzw. des Steckverbinderkopfes angeschlossen und komplettiert die Rundum-Abschirmung um 360°. Mit anderen Worten ist das Schirmgehäuse 30 demnach vorzugsweise im Bereich der Leitungsverbindungen radial vollständig und lückenlos geschlossen. Das Schirmgehäuse 30 bildet demnach insbesondere eine um den gesamten Umfang der Schirmverbindung geschlossene Metallhülle.Another remarkable property of the connector according to the invention is the design of the
Der Zwischenisolierkörper 32 dient dem Schutz und/oder zur Isolation der Leitungselemente (Leitungsader im Falle eines Kabels oder rückwärtige Enden der Kontaktelemente im Falle eines Steckverbinders) und kann in anderer Weise als durch Umspritzen der Leitungselemente mit isolierendem Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Man kann Dichtungen, Schrumpfschläuche, Kunststoffgehäuse und Klebemassen oder vorgefertigte Einsatzteile vorsehen, um die Leitungselemente gegen das flüssige Metall zu schützen, wenn das Schirmgehäuse 30 hergestellt wird.The intermediate insulating
Bei mancher Ausführungsform des Zwischenisolierkörpers 32 kann man die Abschirmhülle 10 über die Schnittfläche 14 hinaus vorstehen lassen, um das Schirmgehäuse 30 an diesem vorstehenden Ende der Abschirmhülle 10 elektrisch durch Umgießen mit flüssigem Metall anzuschließen.In some embodiments of the intermediate insulating
