Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector part with a housing body and a housing part, which together form a housing, and with at least one electrical plug-in contact element, which is connected to an electrical connecting line and which has an integrally formed latching spring, the housing forming at least one receiving chamber into which the at least one electrical plug contact element is inserted, the latching spring snapping into place on a latching projection after the plug contact element has been inserted into the receiving chamber, and the housing part can be latched to the housing body, and has at least one locking arm which, in an end latched position of the housing part, has the at least one Plug contact element positively fixed in a receiving chamber, wherein the housing body and the housing part arranged perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the connector part against each other and stabi in a pre-locked position and an end locked position l are fixable to each other.
  • Such a connector part is from EP 1 107 382 A2 famous.
  • This connector part is from the German Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2008 055 841 A1 famous.
  • This connector part has a housing which consists of a housing body and a housing part.
  • the housing body In order to fasten plug-in contact elements connected to electrical connection lines, the housing body has receiving chambers and integrally formed projections with which latching springs protruding lance-like from the plug-in contact elements can latch.
  • the housing part is either molded onto the housing body so that it can move, for example via a film hinge, or can be attached as a single part to a bearing point of the housing body. In any case, the housing part for assembly against the Housing body pivotable. This means that the housing body and the housing part form an arrangement that can be moved slightly in relation to one another until they latch into one another, which makes handling during assembly relatively complicated.
  • the task at hand was to create an electrical connector part of the generic type whose design and assembly is particularly simple.
  • this object is achieved in that the free end section of the at least one locking arm forms at least one latching projection for the latching spring of the at least one plug contact element on a wall section of the housing body.
  • A1 known connector part is in the connector part according to the invention for mounting the plug contact elements no attachment of the housing part to a bearing and no folding of the housing part against the housing body necessary.
  • Housing body and housing part are pre-assembled with each other in a stable pre-locked position at the time of assembly of the plug contact elements. In this pre-locking position, at least one locking arm formed by the housing part, together with the housing body, forms one or more projections on which the plug contact elements can snap.
  • the housing body and housing part can be transferred relative to one another into a stable final latching position by a small external force, in which the at least one locking arm positively fixes the plug contact elements in receiving chambers of the housing body.
  • the plug contact elements are fixed in place in that the at least one locking arm slides behind a contact box formed onto the plug contact element when it is transferred into its final locking position, thereby enclosing the contact box in a form-fitting manner in a receiving chamber of the housing body.
  • the final assembly step consists of a brief application of force by applying pressure to the lateral surface of the housing.
  • the two housing elements are released from their pre-locked position and transferred against each other into their final locked position;
  • the plug-in contact elements are fixed in a form-fitting manner within the housing.
  • the housing elements can be designed in such a way that in this final assembly step, the connection lines connected to the plug-in contact elements are clamped between the housing elements.
  • the at least one locking arm of the housing part fulfills several functions here.
  • it forms locking projections on the housing body, which are used to fix the locking springs of the plug contact elements.
  • corresponding projections do not need to be provided by moldings on the housing body, which simplifies the manufacture of the housing body and makes it more cost-effective.
  • the at least one locking arm fixes both the locking springs and the contact boxes of the plug contact elements.
  • the figure 1 shows a sectional view of a fully assembled electrical connector part according to the invention.
  • the connector part has a housing 10 made up of two housing elements 1 , 2 , namely a housing body 1 and a housing part 2 , which are joined together and latched together.
  • a plug-in contact element 3 is arranged in at least one receiving chamber 6 and is connected to an electrical connection line 4 in each case.
  • a section 5 of each connection line 4 provided with an insulating sheathing is brought out between the housing elements 1, 2 from the housing 10 of the connector part.
  • a plug-in contact element 3 with a connected connection line 4 is shown in an individual view in FIG figure 2 shown.
  • a contact box 11 with an inwardly bent strip-shaped contact tongue 18 is located on a front section of the plug-in contact element 3 .
  • An electrical connection line 4 is mechanically fastened and electrically connected to this crimping section 15 by means of a core or stranded wire crimp.
  • the plug-in contact element 3 is designed as a stamped and bent part, preferably formed in one piece.
  • the upper surface of the contact box 11 is formed by an integrally formed sheet metal strip 13, the longitudinal and transverse edges of which are each aligned skewed to one another. This means that different points of the metal strip 13 are at different heights above the base area of the plug contact element 3.
  • the sections of the metal strip 13 that protrude further can thus be moved against the other sections when a force is applied and spring in due to the elastic connection of the metal strip 13 to the plug contact element 3.
  • the metal strip 13 on the upper surface of the plug contact element 3 thus forms a latching spring 13 which is provided for the primary latching of the plug contact element 3 in the housing 10 of the connector part.
  • the figure 3 shows in five sub-figures 3a to 3e the process of assembling a connector part by assembling housing body 1, housing part 2 and at least one plug-in contact element 3.
  • the housing body 1 and the housing part 2 can be positioned perpendicularly to the intended insertion direction of the connector part in two • latching positions relative to one another, which are referred to here as the pre-latching position and final latching position, for which purpose mechanical latching elements that interact are arranged on the housing body 1 and the housing part 2 are not recognizable in the sectional representations of the figures. Since their specific configurations are irrelevant for understanding the invention, a detailed description is omitted here.
  • the pre-locking position in the Figures 3a to 3d is a first stable arrangement of housing body 1 and housing part 2 relative to each other, which is characterized in that the housing elements 1, 2 are not in the connection direction perpendicular to the intended insertion direction of the connector part at the closest possible distance from each other.
  • the two housing elements 1, 2 form a channel-like free space 16 into which a plug-in contact element 3 can be inserted with its contact tongue 18 and its contact box 11 in front.
  • the end of the channel-like free space 16 forms a receiving chamber 6 in which the contact box 11 of the plug-in contact element 3 is to be fastened.
  • the contact box 11 When inserting the plug-in contact element 3 into the free space 16, the contact box 11 reaches the Figure 3b the locking arm 7, the free end portion 17 protrudes a small distance into the free space 16.
  • the end section 17 forms a hook-like edge which, with a correspondingly shaped edge of the housing body 1, has a barb-like edge Compound 19 forms.
  • This barb-like connection 19 prevents accidental separation of the housing body 1 from the housing part 2 by means of a form fit.
  • the free end section 17 of the locking arm 7 forms a latching projection 14 on a wall section of the housing body 1 in the direction of the receiving chamber 6 .
  • the free end section 17 of the locking arm 7 On its upper side facing away from the receiving chamber 6 , the free end section 17 of the locking arm 7 has a guide bevel 8 .
  • This guiding bevel 8 enables the detent spring 13 formed on the contact box 11 to rest closely against the contact box 11 when passing the locking arm 7 and thereby to slide past the end section 17 of the locking arm 7 ( Figure 3c ) without getting stuck on it.
  • the detent spring 13 Upon further insertion of the plug contact element 3, the detent spring 13 finally engages behind the locking projection 14 formed by the locking arm 7, which in the Figure 3d is shown. The plug contact element 3 is thus already secured within the housing 10 against falling out.
  • plug-in contact elements 3 are inserted in the same way into further receiving chambers 6 of the housing 10 according to the intended number of poles, with each plug-in contact element 3 initially being held in its receiving chamber 6 by the primary latching effected by its latching spring 13.
  • the housing part 2 can also either have a single wide locking arm 7, which forms parallel latching projections 14 on all the receiving chambers 6, or several narrow, parallel locking arms 7 can also be provided, one of which is connected to one of the receiving chambers 6 works together.
  • the housing body 1 and housing part 2 are pressed against each other by an external application of force and thus transferred to their final locking position ( Figure 3e ).
  • the at least one locking arm 7 thus slides over the contact shoulders 12, which are formed by the end sections of the contact boxes 11, and fixes the plug-in contact elements 3 in a form-fitting manner in the receiving chambers 6.
  • the at least one locking arm 7 thus causes both a primary and a secondary locking of the plug contact elements 3 by fixing the locking springs 13 on the one hand and the contact boxes 11 on the contact shoulders 12 on the other. Both lockings take place within the housing 10 in a single locking level, which Realization of a particularly compact design of the connector part contributes advantageously.
  • connection lines 4 are thereby fixed between the housing elements 1, 2 in a non-positive manner.
