Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector housing which can be fastened in a rectangular plate opening and consists of an approximately parallelepipedic block of insulating material with at least one recess running through from a front to a rear end face for receiving an electrical connector and of elastically flexible holding fingers which start from side faces of the block of insulating material and are angled into a position approximately parallel to these side surfaces and each have an inclined surface rising from the free end of the holding finger and a descending step, the holding fingers running approximately parallel to one another, but are in opposite directions, so that the steps of oppositely directed holding fingers are in contact are suitable at front and rear edge edges of the plate opening and is based on US Pat. No. 3,989,343.
  • a connector housing of the type mentioned offers the advantage that it can be inserted either with the front or the rear end face of the insulating material block in front into a rectangular plate opening and can be fastened to the plate by latching the falling steps of the retaining fingers.
  • the connector housing can also be removed from the plate either in one direction or in the opposite direction.
  • US-A-3989343 describes a connector, the latching members of which are arranged on only two opposite sides in such a way that one latching member counteracts the other latching members in such a way that fastening in a rectangular plate opening is also ensured.
  • the locking elements that act in one direction do not differ in shape from those that act in the other direction.
  • the arrangement is selected such that two latching members act in one direction on each side and, in contrast, a single latching member in the other direction.
  • a property of this arrangement is that only two preferred sides of the plug can be selected for releasing the latching elements for removing the plug.
  • US-A-2 891 103 describes a connector with two different types of latching members, which are opposite each other in pairs on two sides. This means that there are latching members of one type on two opposite sides and latching members of another type on the other opposite sides. The interaction of these different types of locking elements results in holding in a rectangular plate opening. In the arrangement shown or disclosed, the plug connector can only be inserted into the plate opening from one side. Furthermore, the resilient locking members are not holding fingers.
  • the CH-A-463 592 shows no locking hooks, but at least slightly resilient pressing elements. It would be difficult to release a plug housing once it has been snapped into place.
  • connector housings of this type In a further known embodiment of connector housings of this type according to DE-C-1964681, three holding fingers are arranged exclusively on two mutually opposite side surfaces of the insulating material block, a middle holding finger pointing against one end surface and two outer fingers against the other end surface of the insulating material block . Therefore, the descending steps on a total of two holding fingers serve to absorb forces in one direction and the steps on a total of four holding fingers serve to absorb forces in the opposite direction. In addition, the steps on the middle holding fingers are less able to secure the connector housing against tilting in the panel opening than the steps on the outer holding fingers.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a connector housing of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that increased stability of the connector housing in the panel opening is ensured, even if the panel opening is not closely matched to the cross section of the insulating material block.
  • an incoming connection should be easily releasable if necessary.
  • This design ensures a particularly stable fit of the connector housing in the panel opening without impairing the releasability.
  • the connector housing 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a substantially parallelepiped insulating material block 11 with a front end surface 12, a rear end surface 13 and four side surfaces 14, 15, 16 and 17.
  • the insulating material block 11 is provided with a plurality of recesses 18, which extend from the front to the rear end surface 12 or 13, for receiving electrical connectors (not shown), which can optionally be plugs or sockets.
  • the insulating material block 11 is provided with a plurality of elastically flexible holding fingers 22 and 23, which expediently consist of a single piece of material together with the insulating material block 11.
  • Two of these holding fingers 22 and 23 are arranged on each of the four side surfaces 14 to 17 of the insulating material block 11.
  • the holding fingers 22 and 23 each extend from the relevant side surface 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the insulating material block 11 and are angled into a position approximately parallel to the relevant side surface. Furthermore, all of the holding fingers 22 and 23 are approximately parallel to one another, but some of them point in the opposite direction, as can be clearly seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the first-mentioned holding fingers 22 each have an inclined surface 24 rising from their free end and a falling step 25.
  • an inclined surface 26 rising from the free end and a falling step 27 are formed on the other holding fingers 23. Steps 25 and 27 are intended to rest against rear and front edge edges of plate opening 20, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the inclined surfaces 24 of the one holding finger 22 allow the connector housing 10 to be inserted comfortably into the plate opening 20 with the rear end surface 13 ahead, the inclined surfaces 24 sliding on edge edges of the plate opening 20 and thus elastically pushing the holding fingers 22 against the insulating material block 11 until snap the steps 25 of these retaining fingers onto the back of the plate 21.
  • the inclined surfaces 26 of the other holding fingers 23 allow the connector housing 10 to be inserted into the plate opening 20 with the front end surface 12 in front just as easily until the steps 27 of the holding fingers 23 engage on the front side of the plate 21. In the installed state of the connector housing 10, the latter is by the steps 25 and 27 of all holding fingers 22 and 23 against movements forwards and backwards, ie. H. secured in both directions of the recesses 18.
  • a rigid cam 30 projecting from the insulating material block, which has a convexly curved end surface 31 and a flat outer surface 32.
  • These surfaces 31 and 32 are guide surfaces which are intended to cooperate with the boundary surfaces of the plate opening 20 in the corner parts thereof when the connector housing 10 is inserted into the plate opening 20. This avoids that the connector housing can be tilted due to the elastic flexibility of the retaining fingers 22 and 23 in the plate opening 20.
  • the second exemplary embodiment of the connector housing 10 according to the invention differs from the first example described above only in that instead of each of the opposite side surfaces 14 and 16, of which the latter is not visible in FIG. 4 the two holding fingers 22 there is only a single holding finger 122 with a larger width.
  • This wider holding finger 122 has an inclined surface 124 rising from the free end and a descending step 125, this inclined surface 124 and the step 125 extending over the entire width of the holding finger 122 and having the same functions as the inclined surface 24 and the step 25 of each holding finger 22 of the first embodiment.
  • two holding fingers 22 and 223 pointing in the same direction are arranged on each side surface of the insulating material block 11.
  • the differences from the first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 are as follows:
  • the two holding fingers 22 which are arranged on each of the mutually opposite side surfaces 14 and 16 of the insulating material block 11 and which point in the direction from the front end surface 12 to the rear end surface 13 a greater distance from each other than in the first embodiment.
  • a cam 230 protruding from the insulating material block 11.
  • the apex of the convexly curved end face 231 of the cam 230 is in contact a boundary surface of the plate opening in which the connector housing can be inserted.
  • the two holding fingers 223 arranged on each of the other side surfaces 15 and 17 of the insulating material block 11, which point in the direction from the rear end surface 13 to the front end surface 12 of the insulating material block, are also so far apart from one another that a cam 235 protruding from the insulating material block is located therebetween finds.
  • the apex of the convexly curved end face 236 of this cam is also intended to bear against a boundary surface of the plate opening.
  • flanks 238 are widened beyond the adjacent side surfaces 14 and 16 of the insulating material block 11, so that these flanks 238 are suitable instead of the cams 30 of the first exemplary embodiment for contacting boundary surfaces of the plate opening in the corner parts thereof, un to secure the connector housing built into the panel opening against rotation in the panel opening.
  • the fourth exemplary embodiment of the connector housing 10 according to the invention illustrated in FIG. 6 has structural features of the second and the third exemplary embodiment.
  • Only one holding finger 122 or 323 is provided on each of the four side surfaces 14 to 17 of the insulating material block 11.
  • the holding fingers 122 arranged on the side surfaces 14 and 16 each have a width which corresponds approximately to the width of the insulating material block 11 measured in the same direction.
  • the holding fingers 323 arranged on the other side surfaces 15 and 17, on the other hand, are each widened beyond the adjacent side surfaces 14 and 16, so that the flanks 338 of these holding fingers 323 are suitable for abutment on boundary surfaces of the plate opening in corner parts thereof, like the end surfaces 31 of the cams 30 of the first embodiment.
  • the holding fingers 122 and 323 each have an inclined surface 124 or 326 rising from the free end and a falling step 125 or 327, these inclined surfaces and steps each extending over the entire width of the holding finger in question.
  • the holding fingers 22, 23 or 122, 23 or 22, 223 or 122, 323 arranged on all four side surfaces 14 to 17 of the insulating material block 11 have the connector housing 10 inserted into a panel opening 20 give greater stability than is the case with known connector housings, in which similar holding fingers are only present on two opposite side faces of the insulating material block and engage in one another like fingers.
  • the steps 25 and 27 or 125 and 27 or 125 and 327 ensuring the hold in the plate opening 20 have larger areas overall, which cooperate with edge parts of the plate opening 20.
  • the steps 25 and 125 on the holding fingers 22 and 122 pointing in one direction have an approximately equal total area as the steps 27 and 327 on the holding fingers 23, 223 and 323 pointing in the opposite direction, so that the anchoring the connector housing in the panel opening is equally good in both directions.
  • the described arrangement and design of the holding fingers of the connector housing according to the invention also makes it possible to make the dimensions of the plate opening 20 somewhat larger than before, because the holding fingers are able to give the connector housing a sufficiently good stability in the plate opening, even if the cams 30, 230 or 235 or the flanks 238 or 338 of the holding fingers 223 or 323 do not bear directly against the boundary surfaces of the plate opening. Thus, larger tolerances than previously are permitted for the dimensions of the plate opening.
  • FIG. 7 shows an advantageous variant of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 5 as a further exemplary embodiment of the connector housing 10 according to the invention.
  • the same reference numerals are used in Fig. 7 as in Fig. 5.
  • the only difference is that there is an essentially hook-shaped locking member 340 between the two shark fingers 223 arranged on one and the same side surface 15 and 17 of the insulating material block 11 at a distance from one another instead of the cam 235 (FIG. 5).
  • the latter is intended and suitable for releasably locking the connector housing 10 with a second connector housing 341 adapted to it.
  • the second connector housing 341 has two bow-shaped projections 344 on two opposite outer surfaces 342 and 343, with which the locking member 340 of the connector housing 10 can engage.
  • the hook-shaped locking member 340 itself is rigid, but is connected in its central part by means of an elastically flexible web 345 to the relevant side surface 15 or 17 of the insulating material block 11. This enables the head 346 of the locking member 340, which is designed as a hook, to snap into the bow-shaped extension 344 automatically, and by pressing the end part 347 facing away from the head 346, the locking member 340 can be pivoted such that its head 346 disengages from the extension 344 and then the connector housings 10 and 341 can be separated.
