Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug connector, with a housing, with at least one contact held on the housing, which is set up to contact a contact of a further plug connector, the housing having at least one shaped element for fastening at least one shield plate.
  • the invention further relates to a connector system with such a connector.
  • Connectors and connector systems of the type mentioned above can be provided as shielded solutions with shielding plates.
  • the shielding plates are usually integrated into the construction in such a way that the shielding plates serve to guide and position the two plug-in components of such a connector system when a connector is brought together with its assigned counterpart.
  • the shield plates serve to shield the contacts of the connector that are in contact with one another and its associated mating connector.
  • the present invention is based on the technical problem of specifying an improved connector and an improved connector system of the type mentioned at the outset, which do not have the disadvantages described above or at least to a lesser extent, and in particular enable a more cost-effective provision of shielded and unshielded connectors and connector systems .
  • the invention relates to a connector according to claim 1.
  • the connector can therefore be equipped with shielding plates on the housing, but is also fully functional without the shielding plates installed and can also be used without them Shield plates can be positioned and aligned reliably using the guide element on another connector.
  • a shielding plate it is in particular a metallic component for shielding the contact, which is also preferably metallic.
  • the contact serves to establish an electrically conductive connection by contacting the further metallic contact of the further plug connector.
  • the plug connector is therefore designed in particular to produce a detachable plug connection to the further plug connector.
  • the housing of the connector can be partially or completely formed from an electrically insulating plastic.
  • the guide element is a projection or a thorn, wherein the projection or thorn is set up for positive engagement in a complementary shaped guide element of the further plug connector, such as a groove, a recess or the like.
  • the projection or mandrel can in particular have an end chamfer or taper in order to simplify threading into an associated groove or recess.
  • the guide element is a groove or a recess, wherein the groove or recess is designed to positively receive a complementary shaped guide element of the further plug connector, such as a projection, a thorn or the like.
  • a linear guide is formed by the guide elements, which specifies a straight insertion of the plug connector into the further plug connector, or vice versa. As soon as they are engaged, the associated guide elements therefore only allow one degree of freedom along a straight insertion movement in order to achieve reliable contacting of the associated contacts.
  • the guide element is an integral part of an outer wall of the housing, the outer wall surrounding the contact on the circumference.
  • the guide element can be provided in such a way that the installation space for arranging one or more contacts of the plug connector is not restricted.
  • the guide elements can be arranged in an asymmetrically distributed manner, resulting in a mechanical coding that precludes improper assembly with incorrect orientation.
  • a guide element has dimensions that differ from the dimensions of a further guide element.
  • the guide elements are arranged offset or distributed in such a way that a mechanical coding is formed by the arrangement.
  • a first guide element is formed on a first wall section of the housing and a second guide element is formed on a second wall section of the housing, the first wall section and the second wall section being spaced apart from one another and arranged on opposite sides of the housing .
  • the housing is essentially cuboid-shaped in order to enable a simple arrangement of even several contacts in an interior of the housing.
  • the shaped element for fastening the shielding plate is formed on a third wall section of the housing, with the third wall section connecting the first and second wall sections to one another.
  • the distance between the shaped elements and the guide elements can ensure that guidance and positioning takes place independently of the shielding plates, since, if necessary, these are arranged on a wall section of the housing that is separate from the guide element.
  • the housing has two or more shaped elements which are provided for fastening two or more shielding plates or exactly two shielding plates to a housing.
  • the connector can therefore be equipped with shielding plates on the shaped elements as required or can be used as an unshielded connector independently of the shielding plates.
  • the guide element has a height measured along an insertion direction of the further plug connector into the plug connector, which is more than half of the total height of the housing. In this way, reliable guidance and positioning of the plug connector can be achieved relative to the other plug connector.
  • the guide element has a width measured perpendicular to an insertion direction of the further plug connector into the plug connector, which is more than a quarter of the total width of the housing. In this way, a robust guide element can be achieved for positioning and guiding the plug connector during movement of the further plug connector.
  • At least one shielding plate is held on the shaped element, the shielding plate in particular being at a distance from the guide element.
  • the shielding plate in particular being at a distance from the guide element.
  • the invention relates to a connector system, with a first connector according to the invention, and with a second connector, which is formed as a mating connector to the first connector.
  • the plug connectors each have a plurality of contacts, which, as long as the plug connectors are in engagement with one another, produce an electrically conductive connection, in particular by resting against one another in a resiliently elastic manner.
  • the plug connectors in particular have guide elements which form a linear guide for connecting or pulling apart the plug connectors in a straight line.
  • the guide elements are arranged at such a distance from the shielding plates that are mounted if necessary, so that the linear guide is formed independently of the mounted shielding plates.
  • Fig. 1 shows a connector system 2 according to the invention in a perspective view.
  • the connector system 2 has a connector 4 according to the invention and a second connector 6 according to the invention, which is formed as a mating connector 6 to the first connector 4.
  • the connector 4 has a housing 8, several contacts 10 held on the housing 8.
  • the contacts 10 are metallic contacts, of which only 2 of the twelve pieces of the first connector 4 shown have been provided with a reference number 10 as an example.
  • the contacts 10 in this case consist of a metallic material.
  • the housing 8 in this case consists of an electrically insulating plastic.
  • the second connector 6 also has metallic contacts 10.
  • the housing has shaped elements 12 which are formed as recesses 12 and are designed to fasten a shield plate (not shown). In the present case, no shielding plate is mounted on the housing 8. In the present case, the housing 8 has two guide elements 14, which are set up for positively guiding and positioning the plug connector 4 on the plug connector 6.
  • the guide elements 14 are arranged at a distance from the shaped elements 12.
  • the guide elements 14 are each formed as a groove 14 formed into the housing 8 and are each intended to receive a complementary shaped projection 16 of the plug connector 6.
  • the guide elements 14, 16 form a linear guide which is intended to guide a rectilinear insertion movement of the plug connector 6 into the plug connector 4 along an insertion direction R.
  • the plug connector 6 is therefore inserted into the plug connector 4 along a rectilinear movement parallel to the insertion direction R, with the guide elements 14, 16 forming a linear guide.
  • the housing 8 therefore has exactly 2 guide elements 14.
  • the off-center arrangement of the linear guide elements 14, 16 also creates a mechanical coding to prevent incorrect assembly.
  • the guide elements 14 are an integral part of the outer wall 18 of the housing, with the outer wall 18 bordering a branched web region 20 of the housing 8 and the contacts on the circumference.
  • the contacts 10 are each held in a positive and non-positive manner on recesses in the inner web area 20.
  • the guide elements 14 are arranged on opposite wall sections 22, 24 of the housing 8.
  • the shaped elements 12 for fastening shielding plates are formed on a third wall section 26 and a fourth wall section 28 of the housing 8, which connect the wall sections 22 and 24 to one another, so that the housing 8 has a substantially cuboid basic structure.
  • the two shaped elements 12 of the fourth wall 28 serve to hold a first shielding plate (not shown), with the shaped elements 12 of the third wall 26 serving to hold a further shielding plate (not shown).
  • the shielding plates are each hung into the shaped elements 12 using locking hooks.
  • the guide elements 14 extend along the insertion direction R over a height H1, which is more than half of the total height H of the housing 8. Furthermore, the guide element 14 has a width B1 measured perpendicular to the insertion direction R, which is more than a quarter of the total width B of the housing 8. These relations apply equally to the guide elements of the 16 of the connector 6.
  • Fig. 2 shows the connectors 4 and 6 each in a cross section.
  • Fig. 3 shows the connectors 4, 6 with mounted shield plates 30, 32.
  • Fig. 4 shows the connectors 4, 6 with mounted shield plates 30, 32 in a cross section.
  • Fig. 5 shows the connectors 4, 6 from the Figures 3 and 4 in the assembled state
  • Fig. 6 shows the connectors 4, 6 from the Figures 1 and 2 without mounted shield plates when plugged together.
