- a direction of rotation U is on both sides of the wall 7 between the boundary 8 and the wall 7 each have a recess 9 is provided.
- Connector assembly 100 fluid from the first level 3 through the
- Recesses 9 can run off and can not rise to the height of the boundary 8 and thereby overcome the wall 7 can.
- the contact chambers 4 have within the housing 2 no connection. They are here exemplified as through holes formed through the housing 2 and terminate in a second level 10 at the bottom of the figure in the figure 2. There then the mating contact elements 31 can enter the contact chambers 4 when mating the connector 1 with the mating connector 30th
- the openings 5 of the contact chambers 4 in the first plane 3 are thus spaced from each other, but in principle connectable to each other by a path in the first plane 3.
- a path runs e.g. from the left opening 5 along the wall 7 rearward to the signal contact openings 61 where the contact locking member 20 can be supported around the wall 7 and to the right opening 5.
- this path is considerably longer than the shortest path across the wall 7 would run.
- such a path extended by means of the wall 7 requires that the liquid first flows in one direction (eg with a slight tilting backwards: along the force of gravity g) and then after flowing around the wall 7 would have to flow counter to this direction, ie then towards gravity g. Alternatively, the tilt would have to be e.g.
- the liquid overcomes the height of the wall 7 (or alternatively a trench depth of a groove) before it overflows the first plane 3 and then flows along the outer wall of the housing 2.
- the wall 7 it is more likely that e.g. at a tilt forward the liquid flows along the arrows on the wall 7 and flows at the recesses 9 from the first level 3 - and just does not surround the wall 7 and on the other side of the wall 7 flows up again.
- this liquid can flow off not only on the outside of the first level 3 but also through the contact chambers 4 themselves.
- FIG. 3 a shows the housing 2 of the connector from FIG. 2 with a contact locking element 20.
- the contact locking element 20 is formed integrally here. There is only a single contact locking element 20 is provided in the connector 1.
- Contact locking element 20 has two arms 23 protruding from a base body 22.
- the main body 22 extends here only as an example along the
- the arms 23 protrude approximately perpendicularly from the base body 22 and extend along the insertion direction E to a free end 24.
- the arms 23 are approximately straight or linear, so that a comb-like structure of the contact-locking element 20 results.
- the wall adjacent arms 7 23 have perpendicular to their direction of extension a distance D to each other, which is greater than the width B of the wall 7 transversely to the direction of insertion S. The two of the wall 7 adjacent arms 23 extend in the inserted state of
- the contact locking element 20 is on the first level 3 along the
- Insertion direction E perpendicular to the insertion plane S from a first position to a second position displaced.
- the arms 23 with their projections 26 do not cover the openings 5 or only so far that in the first position of the contact locking element 10, the contact chambers 4 can be equipped with contact elements 6.
- the projections 26 on the arms 23 partially cover the openings 5 of the contact chambers 4, at least in such a way that contact elements 6 which are inserted into the contact chambers 4 are secured against removal from the contact chambers 4 against removal direction S.
- the contact locking element 20 has a latching device 21, wherein the wall 7 (alternatively or additionally: the at least one groove) on a front side 11 which faces in a direction opposite to the plugging direction S, a 12 complementary to the locking device structure 12, in which the Locking device 21 can lock.
- the wall 7 alternatively or additionally: the at least one groove
- Detent device 21 is formed here as a kind of tip 27 on a spring structure 28, wherein the tip 27 is pressed by the spring structure 28 on the end face 11 of the wall 7.
- the end face 11 has a topography along the longitudinal direction Y with two adjacent local minima Ml, M2 (only the first minimum Ml is visible). If now the contact locking element 20 is displaced along the insertion direction E on the first plane 3, the tip 27 slides along the end face 11. If it reaches the first, for example, wedge-shaped minimum M 1, the tip 27 locks in - here, for example, the first position is reached and a fitter gets a haptic feedback that eg a
- Placement position (first position) is reached.
- the contact locking element 20 can then be moved along the insertion direction E only by an increased force further. If this happens, then the tip 27 leaves the first minimum Ml along a run-out slope 29 of the first minimum Ml and snaps into a second, e.g. wedge-shaped minimum M2.
- the fitter receives the haptic
- the latching device 21 is merely connected by way of example with the two arms 23 extending on both sides of the wall 7.
- the locking device 21 connects the two adjacent to the wall 7 arms 23 at the free ends 24 by means of a
- the two arms 23 are mechanically stabilized.
- the latching device 21 with its tip 27 always on the front side 11 and its locking device 21 complementary structure 12 slides along and can not slip sideways.
- Figures 3b and 3c show detail views of the contact locking element 20 in the first position (Figure 3b) and in the second position (Figure 3c) by means of a longitudinal section through the wall 7.
- the first minimum is Ml and the second
- the projections 26 arranged on the arms in the vicinity of the main body 22 cover part of the illustrated opening 5.
- Figures 4a and 4b show two about the Z-axis rotated by 90 ° from each other
- FIG. 4c shows a cross-section through FIG. 4b in order to illustrate how, in the case of a liquid introduction up to the first level 3, the penetrating liquid or electrically conductive fluid or fluid medium is prevented by the wall 7, the two contact elements 6 or the two Short-circuit mating contact elements 31.
- the liquid penetrates only by way of example through the single-wire seals 56 of the lines 55 of the contact elements 6 a.
- the liquid referred to herein as "H20" as water, meets after passing a tapered opening in the lower part of the outer housing 51 on the first level 3 in the region of the openings 5.
- Fig. 4c stranded wires 6a are shown, which electrically connects the line 55 with the associated contact element 6.
- Stranded wires 6a are fastened here to the respective contact element 6 with a crimp 6b.
- liquid can also run along the wall 7 to the boundary 8 and then flow through the recesses 9 on the outside of the housing 2.
- Figure 5a shows a view of the connector 1 in an installed position in which the plug-in direction S is tilted to the direction of gravity g by about 80 °.
- the X direction points approximately in the direction of gravity g and the lever 52 faces the viewer.
- the insertion direction E comes from the image plane to the viewer.
- liquid which penetrates to the first level 3 accumulates on the wall 7, which here is oriented approximately horizontally with respect to the direction of gravity g.
- Figure 5b shows the connector of Fig. 5a in a cross section through the
- the reaching, for example, by the single-wire seals 56 through reaching up to the first level 3 liquid shows the following flow paths: at the gravitational g closer-facing line 55 penetrating liquid flows when reaching the first level 3 in the first (here lower) opening 5.
- the the other (upper) line 55 penetrating liquid follows the force of gravity g and collects first in the area between the first level 3 and wall 7, where forms a V-shaped collecting portion.
- the liquid can not overcome the wall 7, but flows through the side of the wall 7, which is now arranged at the top in the figure belonging recess 9 and there without crossing to the other recess 9 along the outer wall of the housing 2 from.
- a short circuit is effectively prevented even in this mounting position.
- Figures 6a and 6b show two about the Y-axis rotated by 90 ° to each other
- Fig. 6c shows the connector of Figs. 6a and 6b in a cross section through the outer housing 51, so that the first plane 3 is visible.
- liquid penetrating the first level 3 can likewise not short-circuit the adjacent contact chambers 4, since it is forced by the here perpendicular wall 7 in the manner of a sheath to run down on both sides of the wall 7 and exit through the recesses 9 from the housing 2.
- the invention is not limited to a connector 1 having exactly two contact chambers 4. If there are more than two contact chambers 4, a plurality of walls 7, in each case between adjacent contact chambers 4, can be provided, and likewise, for each wall 7, one or two recesses 9, through which the
- Liquid from the first level 3 can drain.
