  • the ground potential can be applied to at least one cable screw connection of the high-current connector and in particular to an at least partially metallic connector housing for shielding and / or grounding purposes.
  • the pin and / or socket contacts of the high-current connectors can have an outer or inner diameter of more than 1 cm, for example at least 1.5 cm, preferably at least 2 cm, particularly preferably at least 2.5 cm or in some cases even 3 cm and more.
  • the electrical conductors of the high-current cables that are connected to such high-current contact elements can, for example, have a cross-sectional area of at least 70 mm 2 , in particular at least 95 mm 2 , preferably at least 120 mm 2 , particularly preferably 150 mm 2 , for example 185 mm 2 and more. As a rule, these are stranded conductors.
  • Such a stranded conductor can be connected on the cable connection side to the respective connection area of a high-current contact element, for example crimped to a crimp connection or, for example, screwed to an axial screw connection known from the prior art, in order to establish a reliable and low-resistance electrical contact.
  • a high-current contact element for example crimped to a crimp connection or, for example, screwed to an axial screw connection known from the prior art, in order to establish a reliable and low-resistance electrical contact.
  • Such high-current connectors are used, for example, in the railway sector. Applications in power plants, transformer stations, industrial plants and high-current distributions are also common.
  • the DE 20 2006 003 204 U1 shows a connector which is designed as a plug or add-on housing.
  • the connector consists of a connector housing in which an insulating body with electrical contacts is received. The electrical contacts are provided for the connection of electrical lines which are led out of the plug or add-on housing on the rear of the connector.
  • the connector has a connector housing in which a multi-part shield element is arranged.
  • the screen element is used for electrical purposes Contacting a cable shield and electrically connecting the cable shield to the connector housing.
  • the pamphlet WO 2015/185511 A2 discloses an electrical device with a housing which has at least one molded cable inlet connector through which a cable is guided into the interior of the housing, and with a clamping device which is arranged on at least one cable inlet connector and which is fixed to the cable and attached to the housing, wherein the clamping device has two clamping bodies connected to one another, each clamping body having several molded-on clamping ribs, and wherein the clamping ribs of interconnected clamping bodies are interlaced with one another, and wherein the clamping device is arranged at the inlet opening of the at least one cable inlet connector and is attached to the at least one cable inlet connector by latching means .
  • the pamphlet WO 2014/084052 A1 discloses an L-shaped connector with an L-shaped metal terminal which can be reliably connected both electrically and mechanically to a further terminal.
  • a connecting part is formed on a metal clamp, to which the other clamp is connected.
  • the connecting part has a wire metal fitting.
  • a bolt portion is formed on either the terminal metal fitting or the wire metal fitting, and a mating screw hole is formed on the other side of the terminal metal fitting or the wire metal.

  • the pamphlet DE 10 2014 112 701 A1 describes a high-current plug contact, the crimping area of which is made of aluminum and the plug area of which is made of copper, in order to avoid electrical problems when connecting a high-current aluminum cable to a high-current copper cable or to reduce a high-current copper contact in the area of the material transition.
  • a form and a function of a high-current plug connector / a high-current contact element are also implicitly explained.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a construction that is as compact as possible for a high-current connector, by means of which the necessary air and creepage distances are maintained at the same time.
  • a high-current connector has a connector housing and a metallic high-current contact element.
  • the high-current connector has a plug-in side and a connection side.
  • the high-current contact element is arranged in the interior of the connector housing.
  • the high-current contact element has a plug-in area and a connection area to which an electrical conductor, in particular a Stranded conductor, an electrical high-current cable can be connected.
  • the electrical high-current cable can be fastened to the connection side of the high-current plug connector by means of a cable fastener, in particular a screwed cable connection.
  • the high-current plug connector has an insulating sleeve fastened or at least fastenable on its connection side.
  • This insulating sleeve is characterized in that it has a hollow cylindrical section at a first end, namely on the cable connection side. Towards an opposite end, namely on the housing connection side, the inner diameter of the insulating sleeve increases, as a result of which the insulating sleeve has a funnel-shaped fastening section on the housing connection side.
  • the high-current cable described below is connected or at least connectable to the high-current plug connector.
  • the current-carrying electrical conductor of the high-current cable is surrounded by insulation.
  • the electrical conductor preferably consists of cable strands, so that it is a stranded conductor and the insulation surrounding it is stranded insulation, which is also referred to as such in the following.
  • the stranded insulation of the high-current cable is normally surrounded by a braided shield, which in turn is covered by an outer sheath.
  • the outer jacket is also preferably formed from an insulating material or has at least one insulating outer layer.
  • the braided shield is then usually bent away from the end of the high-current cable to be connected by 180 ° and can be fastened in the cable fastening, in particular the cable gland, together with the further high-current cable on the preferably at least partially metallic but possibly also electrically insulating connector housing, e.g. screwed, and possibly electrically conductive be connected to it.
  • connection-side end of the high-current cable is ultimately stripped, i.e. the stranded insulation is removed at the connection-side end in order to enable the stranded conductor to be connected to the high-current contact element.
  • the insulating sleeve with its funnel-shaped fastening section can be attached to the connector housing.
  • the insulating sleeve can preferably be insertable into the connector housing with its fastening section.
  • the insulating sleeve can, for example, snap into the high-current connector.
  • the insulating sleeve can be inserted into a negative mold of the insulating sleeve which is molded into the interior of the connector housing.
  • a one-piece design of the connector housing and insulating sleeve is also conceivable. Then the connector housing and the insulating sleeve are produced in a common process.
  • Another possible embodiment consists in snapping the insulating sleeve onto the connector housing, preferably in connection with a rubber and / or plastic seal and / or a rubber and / or plastic overlap.
  • the insulating sleeve with its hollow cylindrical section can be pushed onto the high-current cable, in particular onto its stranded insulation.
  • the insulating sleeve then rests in the stripped area of the high-current cable with its hollow cylindrical section on the stranded insulation and is arranged at least in sections between its braided shield and the stranded insulation.
  • the inner diameter of the hollow-cylindrical section of the insulating sleeve on the cable connection side can correspond to the outer diameter of the strand insulation of the high-current cable.
  • the high-current contact element is intended to transmit high electrical currents and, for this purpose, can in particular also lead to particularly high electrical voltages.
  • the high-current contact element in particular its connection area, is thus a live component of the high-current connector.
  • Another live part is the electrical conductor, in particular the stranded conductor, of the high-current cable.
  • the cable fastening, in particular the cable gland, of the high-current connector and, if applicable, the connector housing, which is preferably at least partially electrically conductive, can, on the other hand, carry ground potential.
  • Another part carrying ground potential is the shield, in particular the braided shield of the high-current cable.
  • the connector housing is not electrically conductive, for example consists of an electrically insulating plastic
  • at least the cable fastening, in particular the cable gland, and the shield attached to it, for example the braided shield of the High-current connector connected electrical high-current cable, are regarded as a mass-carrying part.
  • the two creepage distances can be the same.
  • the two clearances can also be made the same size. Both have the reason that the electric current always seeks the path of least resistance, so increasing the clearance or creepage distance, which is larger anyway, does not make any particular sense from the point of view of dielectric strength.
  • the outer creepage distance runs from the connection area of the high-current contact element over the outer area of the insulating sleeve to the braided shield and / or to the cable fastening, in particular a cable gland that is at ground potential, e.g. by being in electrical contact with the braided shield of the high-current cable.
  • the outer creepage distance can be increased by the shape of a circumferential gradation formed on the outside of the funnel-shaped fastening section.
  • the gradation can be one or more, so two, three, four, five or six or even have even more elevations to extend the outer creepage distance.
  • the aforementioned gradation ultimately increases the outer surface of the insulating sleeve and thus also the distance that a leakage current may have to cover on the outer surface of the insulating sleeve, e.g. to get from the connection area of the high-current contact element to the cable gland / braided shield.
  • at least one, preferably two, of the elevations belonging to the gradation can also be used to fasten the insulating sleeve to the connector housing.
  • the gradation thus consists of at least one circumferential elevation.
  • the gradation advantageously has at least two circumferential elevations, namely a first elevation and a second elevation.
  • the first elevation which is arranged in the direction of the cable connection side of the insulating sleeve, is preferably made higher than the second elevation, which is arranged in the direction of the device connection side of the insulating sleeve.
  • the gradation can also consist of a circumferential depression.
  • the connection side has at least two, i.e. two, three, four, five, six or more circumferential depressions in order to further increase the external creepage distance of the current and at the same time to at least preserve or even preserve the compact design of the connector housing to be able to reduce it.
  • the recess that is more in the direction of the plug side of the Is arranged insulating sleeve, executed deeper than the recess, which is arranged more in the direction of the connection side of the insulating sleeve.
  • the at least one recess can also be used to attach the insulating sleeve to the connector housing.
  • the inner creepage distance runs within the insulating sleeve from the connection area of the high-current contact element through the hollow-cylindrical section of the insulating sleeve to the braided shield of the high-current cable and is thus essentially influenced by the length of the hollow-cylindrical section.
  • An increase in the length of the hollow cylindrical section thus increases the length of the inner creepage distance without affecting the geometric size of the high-current connector, in particular its connector housing.
  • the funnel shape of the fastening section of the insulating sleeve can be used to lengthen the outer air path by, in simple terms, leading the air path around the fastening section in a detour.
  • the outer air gap can therefore be enlarged by the shape of the funnel-shaped fastening section. Depending on the specific design, this can be supported in particular by using a plug connector housing that is at least partially made of plastic.
  • the direct air gap runs along a straight connecting line from the connection area of the high-current contact element to the cable gland / the braided shield and crosses the material of the insulating sleeve.
  • the direct air gap between the connection area and the cable gland can thus also be increased. This can prevent a direct breakdown from the connection area to the cable gland.
  • the relevant area of the insulating sleeve lies on the direct connection line that leads from the connection area of the high-current contact element to the cable gland.
  • the direct air gap can be of particular importance if the connector housing consists at least partially of an electrically insulating material, for example plastic. Furthermore, it can also be of importance for metallic connector housings if the cable attachment or the braided shield, due to the design of the high-load connector, are arranged closer to the connection area than the high-current contact element to any earthed, metallic area of the connector housing.
  • the connector housing can be formed at least partially from an electrically conductive material, such as metal, in particular aluminum.
  • the connector housing can also be formed partly from metal and partly from plastic.
  • the housing can be made of metal, for example aluminum, on the outside and have a plastic coating or an inner plastic cladding or the like on the inside.
  • the plastic is generally used to reliably exclude a direct electrical connection between the connector housing and current-carrying elements of the high-current connector. In order to be sufficiently effective against air gaps, that is, punctures or the like, the plastic material might also have to have sufficient strength.
  • the direct air gap is initially shorter than the path from the high-current contact element to the possibly electrically conductive and grounded connector housing.
  • the material thickness of the insulating sleeve in the relevant area is of particular importance, and the insulating sleeve increases the direct air gap in this case as well. Otherwise, measures could first be taken to increase the air gap between the high-current contact element and the connector housing.
  • the connector housing is preferably an angled connector housing.
  • the plug-in side and the connection side are arranged at an angle, in particular a right angle, to one another.
  • the high-current contact element can be designed in two parts and can thereby enable a right-angled connection area which, compared to a curved area, provides the particular advantage of a particularly large saving in space.
  • the preferably metallic high-current contact element thus consists of a first part and a second part, which are connected to one another in the connection area.
  • the first part has a plug-in area which can have a contact pin or a contact socket.
  • the second part is formed from a connection area which, in particular, has a crimp or axial screw connection.
  • One of the two parts, preferably the second part can have a connection opening for electrical and mechanical connection to the other, preferably the first part.
  • the other of the two parts, preferably the first part has a connection section which interacts mechanically and electrically with the connection opening of the second part and can preferably be received therein in a form-fitting and force-fitting manner.
  • the connecting section can have an external thread and the connecting opening can have a matching internal thread, so that the connecting section can be screwed into the connecting opening.
  • the electrical and mechanical connection of the two parts is produced by said shrink-fitting, that is to say by a shrink-fit connection.
  • the technique of shrinking on consists in that the part which has the connection opening, preferably the second part, is heated, as a result of which the connection opening expands.
  • the other part, preferably the first part, is then inserted into the connection opening, for example with its connecting section.
  • the connection opening and the connection section can have a circular cross-section in order to interlock in a form-fitting manner, so that there is no risk of tilting.
  • connection opening is then reduced in size (shrunk) again by cooling, so that the connection opening encloses the connection section in a form-fitting and force-fitting manner.
  • the angled contact can be produced at right angles - compared to a contact produced in the bending process with a corresponding bending radius - whereby the space requirement of the high-current connector is reduced, especially in the plug-in direction.
  • the holding and contact force of this connection can - depending on the material thickness and material properties - be particularly large and stable in this way.
  • Said cable fastening, in particular cable gland, which holds the high-current cable on the connector housing, is of course primarily used for strain relief, i.e. to relieve the connection of the stranded conductor with the connection area of the high-current contact element from mechanical stress in the form of tensile forces.
  • the cable fastening in particular the cable screw connection, possibly also serves to connect the shield to an at least partially metallic connector housing.

  • the insulating sleeve 4 On the cable connection side, the insulating sleeve 4 is pushed with its hollow cylindrical section 4.3 onto the stranded insulation 5.3 and is arranged at least in some areas between the braided shield 5.1 and the stranded insulation 5.3. This also increases the internal creepage distance between the stripped stranded conductor 5.0 and the braided shield 5.1 of the high-current cable 5. Finally, the leakage current cannot flow directly from the connection area 3.2 of the high-current contact element 3 to the braided shield 5.1, but must first completely pass through the cylindrical projection 4.3.
  • the cable mesh 5.1 is also made For reasons of clarity, shown relatively far away from the connection area 3.2. If the connector housing 2 is a plastic housing, then the distance between the connection area 3.2 and the cable mesh 5.1 bent back by 180 ° is relevant for the air and creepage distances. If, on the other hand, it is an at least partially metallic connector housing 2, then this distance can nevertheless also be relevant for the direct air gap, provided the effective air gap between the high-current contact element 3 and electrically conductive areas of the connector housing 2 is greater.
