- the conductor is preferably a multi-stranded conductor which includes a plurality of individual conductors / strands.
- the connector has a connector housing.
- the cutting area and the contact area are arranged.
- the connector housing has a plug side and a connection side.
- the plug side and the connection side are in the known connectors usually on a line, each other
- the plug side and the connection side are arranged at an angle to each other.
- the levels of plug side and connection side are substantially perpendicular to each other. This offers the advantage that the connector can also be used in difficult-to-reach or narrow areas.
- the contact area and the cutting area are arranged on the plug side of the connector housing.
- the plug side is used for
- connection side for connecting a conductor.
- the connection of a conductor takes place from the connection side in the direction of the plug side. Therefore, the terminal side is designed so that the conductor can be inserted without problems.
- the connection side has a cable gland for secure fixing of the conductor. The cable gland offers the advantage that effective tensile forces and loads from the connector
- Connection side at an angle smaller than 180 °, preferably
- the plug side is at least two parts, wherein the cutting area a first portion and the
- Design of the mating side of the introduced through the terminal side conductor is easier to contact.
- the contacting of the recorded conductor is done by the mating of cutting area and contact area. This offers the advantage of handling and
- the plug-in side preferably has the contact region on the end remote from the connection side, wherein the contact region at the far end of the opposite end is in at least one Contact element transitions. The transition into at least one
- the contact element allows the contacting of the connector with a mating connector.
- the contact element may be both a pin contact and a socket contact.
- cutting area and contact area are advantageously opposite and can be easily assembled by a user.
- the cutting area has a
- Ladder pick up This serves to receive the conductor, which is guided from the connection side to the plug side.
- the conductor holder secures the conductor on the plug side.
- the conductor receiving on at least one conductor holder, wherein the conductor holder is used to fix the conductor.
- the conductor holder is an approximately U-shaped contour, in particular around the holding side of a cutting clamp in which the conductor to be cut is held.
- the ladder is placed in the ladder holder where it is securely and firmly fixed.
- the contact region has at least one cutting edge, in particular a cutting clamp.
- the cutting edge is the counterpart to the conductor holder of the cutting area.
- the cutting edge is sharp-edged so that it can easily cut an insulation, more precisely a jacket, of the conductor.
- the cutting edge only acts so strongly that no strand is damaged inside the conductor.
- Ladder holder can be plugged together. This combination means that the connector can be assembled without tools or other aids.
- a seal is arranged on the connection side, in the area of the cable gland. Another seal could be located on the mating side, in transition to the actual connector housing. So the connector is optimally protected.
- the invention further relates to a method for assembling a connector, which comprises the following steps:
- Combination with the method according to the invention makes it possible to present an angled connector which can be assembled in a field, which connector can be assembled by a user in a simple and uncomplicated manner.
