Stanzbiegeverfahren hergestellt werden. Derartige Herstellungsformen sind besonders preisgünstig. Punching bending process can be produced. Such production forms are particularly inexpensive.
Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung wird in der Regel in einem System aus einem ersten Steckverbindergehäuse und einem zweiten The locking device is usually in a system of a first connector housing and a second
Steckverbindergehäuse verwendet. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung ist dabei schwenkbar über Lagerzapfen am ersten Steckverbindergehäuse befestigt. In einem Schwenkvorgang kann die Verriegelungsvorrichtung über bzw. an Arretierzapfen, die am zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse angeformt sind, hinüber schwenken bzw. befestigt werden. Dadurch können das erste Steckverbindergehäuse und das zweite Connector housing used. The locking device is pivotally mounted on bearing pins on the first connector housing. In a pivoting operation, the locking device can pivot over or on locking pins, which are integrally formed on the second connector housing, over or fastened. Thereby may be the first connector housing and the second
Steckverbindergehäuse miteinander reversibel verriegelt werden. Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Verriegelungsvorrichtung lediglich im Bereich der Lagerzapfen und der Arretierzapfen mit den jeweiligen Steckverbindergehäusen in Berührkontakt steht. Die Connector housings are reversibly locked together. The essence of the invention is that the locking device is only in contact with the respective connector housings in the area of the bearing journals and the locking pins. The
Verriegelungsvorrichtung reibt sich nicht am restlichen Gehäusekörper. Dadurch kann ein besonders verschleißarmer Verriegelungsvorgang etabliert werden. Locking device does not rub against the rest of the housing body. As a result, a particularly low-wear locking process can be established.
Vorteilhafterweise bestehen die Steckverbindergehäuse aus Kunststoff. Derartige Steckverbindergehäuse können sehr preisgünstig hergestellt werden. Allerdings sind derartige Steckverbindergehäuse sehr anfällig, wenn sie von metallischen Bauteilen verkratzt werden. Hier wird nicht nur die Ästhetik des Steckverbindergehäuses verändert, sondern auch dessen Funktionalität in Gefahr gebracht. Advantageously, the connector housing made of plastic. Such connector housing can be made very inexpensive. However, such connector housings are very vulnerable when scratched by metallic components. Here, not only the aesthetics of the connector housing is changed, but also put its functionality in danger.
Die oben erwähnten Lagerzapfen und/oder die Arretierzapfen weisen vorzugsweise eine zylindrische Grundform mit einer daran angeformten prismenförmigen Kontur auf. Dabei hat die prismenförmige Kontur vorzugsweise einen dreieckigen Querschnitt. Eine solche Kontur kann sehr leicht im Herstellungsprozess der Steckverbindergehäuse, vorzugsweise einem Spritzgussprozess, mit vorgesehen werden. The above-mentioned bearing pins and / or the locking pins preferably have a cylindrical basic shape with a prism-shaped contour formed thereon. In this case, the prism-shaped contour preferably has a triangular cross-section. Such a contour can be provided very easily in the production process of the connector housing, preferably an injection molding process.

Steckverbindergehäusen. Vorzugsweise stehen die Lagerzapfen und die Arretierzapfen und die jeweils daran angeformten Konturen entlang ihrer Symmetrieachse senkrecht vom jeweiligen Steckverbindergehäuse ab. Dabei sind die Lagerzapfen und die Arretierzapfen jeweils länger als die jeweiligen Konturen. Das bedeutet beispielsweise, dass die Arretieraufnahme der Verriegelungsvorrichtung über die Arretierzapfen hinübergreifen kann und von der kürzeren Kontur abgestützt wird. Die Kontur verhindert, dass der Verriegelungsbügel während des Verriegelungsprozesses am Connector shells. Preferably, the journals and the locking pins and the respective contours formed thereon are perpendicular to the respective connector housing along its axis of symmetry. The bearing pins and the locking pins are each longer than the respective contours. This means, for example, that the locking receptacle of the locking device can reach over the locking pin and is supported by the shorter contour. The contour prevents the locking latch from being engaged during the locking process
