Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contacting device, a module for an electrical plug connector with a contacting device and a plug connector with a contacting device.
  • Various connectors are known from the prior art.
  • Various modular connectors are also known. These include a frame in which plug-in modules are used.
  • Connectors often have to be assembled at the installation site. In order to minimize the time and tools required at the installation site, connectors must be easy to assemble.
  • Earthing and protective conductors are usually integrated in multi-pole connectors. For safety reasons, with certain plug-in connectors, an electrical connection must also be established between the grounding and / or protective conductor and the holding frame that is at ground potential. For this purpose, wires must be soldered or screwed during assembly. This work is time consuming and error prone.
  • a connector module with a contacting device received therein, according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.
  • the electrical contact comprises a connection side and a plug side.
  • the contact means which comprises a spring area for making electrical contact with the holding frame, is connected.
  • the protective conductor connection comprises a first connection area for the clamping connection of a first line and a second connection area for the clamping connection of a second line.
  • a connector with a holding frame in which electrical contacts are held in plug-in modules is known.
  • the plug-in modules can be inserted into and removed from the holding frame on both sides.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a device with which the grounding and / or protective conductor in an electrical connector can be connected quickly and easily to other components of the connector.
  • a device is to be specified which can be used and processed with common tools.
  • the device should ensure a long-lasting and safe electrical connection.
  • the device should be suitable for different connectors, in particular for modular connectors.
  • the contacting device comprises a first contacting section, which has a first receiving channel for receiving an electrical conductor, in particular a protective and / or grounding conductor, or an electrical contact, and a second contacting section, which is preferably arranged axially to the first contacting section, which has a second receiving channel, for receiving an electrical conductor, in particular a protective and / or grounding conductor, or an electrical contact, and is electrically conductively connected to the first contacting section.
  • the contacting device comprises a conductor, the first end of which is electrically conductively connected to the first contacting section or the second contacting section via a connection point.
  • the contacting device can be electrically connected to further elements of the plug connector through the conductor, so that an electrical connection can be established between the protective and / or grounding conductor arranged in the contacting device and further components of the plug connector.
  • the connection can be established easily and securely.
  • a flange which serves as a stop surface when fastening the contacting device in a holding module, is integrally formed.
  • a collar for improved introduction of an electrical conductor is formed on the second contacting section.
  • the protective and / or grounding conductor can be easily inserted into the contacting device.
  • the collar avoids wobbling play of the contacts and thus incorrect connection.
  • the first contact section and / or the second contact section are designed to be at least approximately rotationally symmetrical. This results in a compact design and optimal processability.
  • the conductor is designed to be bendable, so that its second end can be connected to any point on a holding frame of a connector.
  • the contacting device arranged in the connector and connected to a protective and / or grounding conductor can be easily and quickly connected to other components of the connector, in particular to a holding frame or the housing, by bending the conductor.
  • connection point is produced by soldering or welding.
  • the second contacting section is preferably designed as a crimp sleeve.
  • the second contacting section is preferably designed as a pin contact.
  • the conductor is electrically insulated.
  • the first end of the conductor is stripped and inserted laterally through a bore into the contacting device. This enables a compact design.
  • first contact section and the second contact section are made at least partially from copper, aluminum or an electrically conductive plastic.
  • the first contact section and / or the second contact section are produced by milling, turning, injection molding, 3D printing or by die casting.
  • first contacting section and the second contacting section are made in one piece.
  • a holding module for an electrical plug connector can be equipped with a contacting device according to the invention.
  • the holding module has at least one guide channel for receiving the conductor.
  • the holding module is otherwise preferably as structurally identical as possible to holding modules for modular plug connectors known from the prior art.
  • An electrical plug connector according to the invention can also be equipped with a contacting device according to the invention.
  • the electrical connector is preferably of modular design.

  • Fig. 2a shows a connector 9 according to the invention with a holding frame 7 and holding modules 8A, 8B, 8C.
  • the holding modules 8A, 8B, 8C are anchored in the holding frame 7.
  • 8A is a holding module for a contacting device according to the invention, the holding modules 8B and 8C are suitable for electrical conductors and / or contacts known from the prior art.
  • the second end 152 of the conductor 15 protrudes from the holding module 8A.
  • the dashed line visualizes the bent conductor 15, the second end 152 of which is connected to the holding frame 7.
  • Figure 2b shows the connector 9 from Fig. 2a in a top view.
  • the conductor 15 is guided in a guide channel 8A1 formed on the holding module 8A.
  • the conductor 15 is guided past the remaining holding modules 8B and 8C to a contact point of the holding frame 7.
