Definitions

  • the invention relates to locking plug connectors with plug contacts, which can each be coupled to a mating plug contact of a mating plug connector along a plugging direction.
  • locking connectors here means those that are automatically secured or can be secured manually against the locking connector being pulled away from the mating connector by means of a mechanical locking device.
  • push-pull connectors which are also known as push-pull connectors in German-speaking countries, are known as locking connectors.
  • Such push-pull connectors are, for example, in the European patent specification EP 1 955 413 B1 or the German disclosure document DE 3 200 265 A1 described.
  • Push-pull connectors automatically lock themselves when pushed onto or into a mating connector.
  • locking connectors are, for example, bayonet-based and can be locked manually using a bayonet locking device after they have been pushed onto or into the mating connector.
  • An advantage of the previously known locking plug connectors is an axial locking between the locking plug connector and the corresponding mating plug connector after the electrical connection between them has been established.
  • the axial locking prevents that the plug contacts of the locking plug connector can unintentionally detach from the mating plug contacts of the mating plug connector or the locking plug connector can be unintentionally removed and the electrical connection is unintentionally interrupted.
  • a disadvantage of the previously known locking plug connectors is that - due to the aforementioned blocking of the locking plug connector from being removed by the locking device - in the event of a high tensile force of a connecting cable attached to the locking plug connector, the mechanical connection between the plug contacts of the locking plug connector and the cable connections of the connecting cable is very heavily loaded and the connection cable may be torn off from the plug contacts and the locking plug connector may be destroyed.
  • the invention is based on the object of further developing a locking connector of the type described with a view to particularly high mechanical resilience.
  • a terminal block is arranged at a distance from the plug-in contacts, the terminal block contacts of which - seen axially along the plug-in direction - are arranged one behind the other, the terminal block allowing the insertion of conductor contacts with the locking plug connector to be connected Connection cable into the terminal block along a predetermined insertion direction and the insertion direction is oriented at an angle, preferably at right angles, to the insertion direction.
  • a significant advantage of the locking connector according to the invention is the great mechanical stability at high tensile forces. If a connecting cable on the locking connector is pulled axially against the insertion direction, the tensile forces can be absorbed efficiently by the terminal block, because the insertion direction of the conductor contacts of the connecting cable into the terminal block is angular, preferably at right angles, to the insertion direction and thus the axial pulling direction of the connecting cable is arranged.
  • a guiding and/or fastening device in particular in the form of an eyelet, is arranged at the end of the locking connector remote from the plug contacts allows the connecting cable to be guided and/or fixed and the connecting cable to be axially aligned at the remote end.
  • a guided axial alignment of the connecting cable can advantageously ensure not only the mentioned axial alignment of the tensile forces of the connecting cable, but also a minimal space requirement in the radial direction, so that locking plug connectors and their connecting cables can be arranged particularly close to one another.
  • the terminal block with its circuit board-side terminal block contact connections is on one inside
  • the circuit board arranged on the locking connector is soldered or pressed in.
  • cable-side terminal block contact connections of the terminal block are accessible radially from the outside and enable the conductor contacts of the connecting cable to be inserted manually from the outside.
  • a housing of the locking plug connector preferably has a through slot, the longitudinal direction of which extends along the plug-in direction and enables manual attachment of the conductor contacts of the connecting cable to the terminal block from the outside.
  • the housing of the locking plug connector preferably has a further through slot, the longitudinal direction of which extends along the plug-in direction and enables the conductor contacts of the connecting cable to be screwed or loosened on the terminal block from the outside.
  • a radially outer section of the terminal block preferably extends radially outwards through the through-slot or the further through-slot.
  • the locking plug connector preferably has a front sub-module, viewed in the plug-in direction, in which the plug-in contacts are arranged, and a rear sub-module, seen in the plug-in direction, in which the terminal block and the circuit board are arranged.
  • the front sub-module and the rear sub-module are preferably connected to one another in a tensile manner by a positive connection.
  • the rear sub-module preferably comprises a shell-shaped lower housing part and a shell-shaped upper housing part, which alone or with further housing parts form a rear housing part of the rear sub-module.
  • the terminal block and the circuit board are preferably mounted on the shell-shaped lower housing part.
  • the through slot and/or the further through slot are preferably arranged in the shell-shaped upper housing part.
  • the shell-shaped lower housing part and/or the shell-shaped upper housing part together with the front sub-module preferably form an axial tension lock, which enables the rear sub-module to be rotated relative to the front sub-module about an axis of rotation coaxial with the plug-in direction.
  • the angle of rotation is preferably at least 30 degrees.
  • the shell-shaped lower housing part and/or the shell-shaped upper housing part has at least one radially tapering (constricting) engagement region, which engages in a circumferential groove or in a ring segment-shaped (trough-like) recess in the front sub-module and thereby the axial train protection or at least one Part of the train protection.
  • the engagement in the circumferential groove or the ring segment-shaped (trough-like) recess in the front sub-module advantageously enables the aforementioned rotation about the axis of rotation coaxial with the insertion direction.
  • Each of the plug contacts is preferably soldered to a solder connection on the circuit board using a connecting wire.
  • Each of the latter solder connections is preferably connected to a terminal block contact of the terminal block via a conductor track of the circuit board.
  • solder connections are preferably located on the circuit board on a fictitious line, which in turn is parallel to the plugging direction.
  • a shield contact spring is preferably attached to the circuit board between the terminal block and the plug contacts, specifically on the circuit board side facing away from the terminal block, the shield contact spring connecting one of the terminal block contacts of the terminal block to a coaxial shield contact of the front sub-module.
  • An identification chip is preferably arranged on the circuit board, preferably separated from the plug contacts by the terminal block, which identifies the locking plug connector or an external device connected to the terminal block by means of the connecting cable.
  • An electrical contact of the identification chip is preferably soldered or pressed to a conductor track of the circuit board, the latter conductor track also being connected to both one of the plug contacts and one of the terminal block contacts.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a locking plug connector, in particular one as described above, the plug contacts of which can each be coupled to a mating plug contact of a mating plug connector along a plugging direction.
  • a terminal block is arranged at a distance from the plug-in contacts, the terminal block contacts of which - seen axially along the plug-in direction - are arranged one behind the other, the terminal block allowing the insertion of conductor contacts with the locking plug connector connecting connection cable into the terminal block along a predetermined insertion direction and the insertion direction is oriented at an angle, in particular at right angles, to the insertion direction.

  • the Figure 6 shows the arrangement according to Figure 5 after a second sleeve part 41b has been placed on the first sleeve part 41a and connected to it, preferably by a positive connection, for example a latching connection.
  • the two sleeve parts 41a and 41b are preferably made of metal or at least of conductive material so that they can together form a coaxial shield contact 41 in the front sub-module 40.
  • the shape and the inner diameter of the coaxial shield contact 41 are preferably selected such that when the front section of the circuit board 20, viewed in the plug-in direction SR, is inserted into the coaxial shield contact 41, the shield contact spring 30 is electrically contacted with the coaxial shield contact 41 and thus an electrical connection between the coaxial shield contact 41 and the shield contact spring 30 and subsequently also one of the terminal block contacts 11 of the terminal block 10 is ensured.
  • the Figure 7 shows the related to the Figures 5 and 6 Components described after they have been inserted into a housing 44 of the front sub-module 40.

It is therefore advantageous if these are dimensioned in such a way that the rear sub-module 80 can be rotated by at least 30°, preferably up to 45°, relative to the front sub-module 40.
  • the ability to rotate advantageously allows the front sub-modules 80 to be aligned so that no mechanical blockage occurs with an adjacent locking connector 100 when the connecting cable is connected.
