Der Modulstecker besteht aus zwei in Kunststoffhalbschalen aufnehmbaren Kontaktträgern, wobei die Kontakte für den Anschluß der Kabeladern jeweils Rücken an Rücken in einem zweireihigen Kontaktträger eingesetzt sind. Bei Kabeisteckern mit mehr als zwei Reihen werden die Kontaktträger nebeneinander liegend eingebaut, so daß die Kontakte zweier Kontaktträger einander gegenüber liegen. In diesem Fall wird zwischen die beiden Kontaktträger ein Isolierstreifen zur Trennung und Kontaktsicherung eingelegt. Bei einem derartigen Aufbau des Modulsteckers muß jeder Kontaktträger bei der Verarbeitung, d. h. beim Anschluß der Kabeladern an die jeweilige Kontaktreihe, gewendet werden. Außerdem sind bei einem Modulstecker mit einer ungeraden Anzahl von Kontaktreihen ein- und zweireihige Kontaktträger erforderlich.On page 3.56 of the Siemens connector data book 1992 a cable connector is shown, the one Connector housing composed of two sheet metal half shells has a module plug for connection the cable wires are inserted.

Aus der EP-A-0 421 373 ist ein Steckverbinder bekannt, der mehrere in einem elektrisch leitenden Steckergehäuse aufgenommene Modulstecker aufweist, die je mehrere an je eine Kabelader eines vieladrigen Kabels angeschlossene, in einen Kunststoffgehäuseblock eingespritzte Kontaktelemente aufweisen.From EP-A-0 421 373 a connector is known which has several in one electrically conductive Has plug housing accommodated module connector, each one to a cable core one multi-core cable connected contact elements injected into a plastic housing block exhibit.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Aufbau eines Kabelsteckers der eingangs genannten Art und den Aufbau des Modulsteckers zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object the structure a cable connector of the type mentioned and to simplify the construction of the module connector.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Kabelstecker gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This task is done through a cable connector according to Claim 1 solved.

Bei einem derartigen Kabelstecker besteht der Modulstecker aus mehreren plattenförmigen, aufeinander verschiebungssicher gestapelten, einreihigen und gleich ausgebildeten, also einheitlichen Kontakttragern. Dies ist in mehrfacher Hinsicht von Vorteil. Der Modulstecker besitzt dadurch einen einfachen, insbesondere in montage- und anschlußtechnischer Hinsicht vorteilhaften Aufbau, der einen Anschluß der Kabeladern in rationeller Weise ermöglicht. Infolge der Verwendung einreihiger und gleich ausgebildeter Kontaktträger ist der Modulstecker unabhängig von der Anzahl seiner Kontaktreihen, also auch bei einer ungeraden Anzahl von Kontaktreihen, einfach und kostengünstig aufgebaut, weil keine unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen von Kontakttragern verwendet werden. Die Verarbeitung, d.h. der Anschluß der Kabeladern oder die Konfektionierung kann bei allen Kontaktträgern eines Modulsteckers aus der gleichen Richtung erfolgen, ohne daß ein Wenden eines Kontaktträgers erforderlich ist. Dies ermöglicht eine Fehlerreduzierung und eine Verringerung von Handhabungs- und Verarbeitungsvorgängen. Bei der Konfektionierung werden die Kabeladern mittels eines Spezialwerkzeugs zunächst in einen mit den IDC-Kontakten vorbestückten ersten Kontaktträger eingedrückt. Die übrigen Kontaktträger werden dann nacheinander in gleicher Weise angeschlossen. Nach dem Konfektionieren müssen die Kontaktträger nicht gedreht oder zueinander verschoben werden, so daß mechanische Beanspruchungen der Kontaktstellen vermieden werden. Da der Abstand zwischen den Kontaktstellen und der Kabelbefestigung an der Anschlußeinrichtung genau vorgegeben werden kann, treten keine mechanischen Verspannungen im fertigen Stecker auf. Die nach dem Konfektionieren noch breit aufgefächerten Kontakttrager können dann einfach zu einem stabilen Kontaktblock gestapelt und in das Stekkergehäuse eingesetzt werden. Beim Aufeinanderstapeln der Kontaktträger ist ein schonender Zusammenbau gewanrleistet und verhindert, daß die einzelnen Kabeladern versehentlich gequetscht werden können. Im zu einem Kontaktblock aufeinander gestapelten Zustand der Kontaktträger zeigen die offenen Seiten der IDC-Kontakte nicht zueinander, so daß sie durch die dazwischenliegende kontaktfreie Rückseite der Kontaktträger elektrisch zuverlässig getrennt sind und keine zusätzlichen isolierenden Zwischenlagen zwischen den einzelnen Kontaktträgern erforderlich sind. Das für die Konfektionierung zu verwendende Verarbeitungswerkzeug kann einfach gestaltet werden, wobei die Kontaktträger alle in eine Werkzeugaufnahme passen. Der aus aufeinander stapelbaren, einheitlich ausgebildeten Kontaktträgern bestehende Aufbau des Modulsteckers ist auch dann von großen Vorteil, wenn einzelne Kontakte defekt sein sollten und repariert werden müssen. Hierzu kann der Kontktblock ohne Schwierigkeiten aus dem Steckergehäuse genommen werden. Die einzelnen aufeinander gestapelten Kontaktträger können dann breit aufgefächert werden, so daß jeder Kontakt gut sichtbar und gut erreichbar ist und leicht ausgewechselt werden kann.With such a cable connector, there is the module connector from several plate-shaped, one on top of the other stacked, single-row and non-displaceable equally trained, i.e. uniform contact persons. This is beneficial in several ways. The module connector therefore has a simple, in particular advantageous in terms of assembly and connection technology Construction that connects the cable wires in rationally enabled. As a result of use single-row and equally trained contact carrier the module connector regardless of the number of its Contact rows, even with an odd number of contact rows, simple and inexpensive to set up, because no different embodiments used by contact carriers. The processing, i.e. the connection of the cable cores or the assembly can be used with all contact carriers of a module connector done from the same direction without that a contact carrier must be turned. This enables error reduction and reduction of handling and processing operations. When assembling the cable cores with the help of a special tool with the first contact carrier pre-equipped with the IDC contacts pressed. The remaining contact carriers will be then connected in sequence in the same way. After assembly, the contact carriers not rotated or shifted towards each other, so that mechanical stress on the contact points be avoided. Because the distance between the contact points and the cable attachment on the Connection device can be specified precisely, there is no mechanical tension in the finished part Plug on. The still wide after assembly fanned out contact carriers can then simply too a stable contact block and stacked in the connector housing be used. When stacking on top of each other the contact carrier is a gentle assembly guaranteed and prevents the individual cable cores can be accidentally squeezed. in the to a contact block stacked state the contact carrier show the open sides of the IDC contacts do not make contact with each other, so that they are in between non-contact back of the contact carrier are electrically separated and no additional insulating liners between the individual contact carriers are required. That for them Processing tool to be used can be easily designed with the contact carrier all fit in one tool holder. The one out stacked, uniformly trained Existing structure of the module connector is also of great advantage when individual contacts should be defective and need to be repaired. The contact block can do this without difficulty be removed from the connector housing. The single ones stacked contact carriers can then be fanned out wide so that any contact is clearly visible and easily accessible and is easy to replace can be.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Kabelstecker ist der den Modulstecker bildende Kontaktblock zumindest an der offenen Seite, also an der Vorderseite des letzten Kontaktträgers, gegen ein leitend ausgebildetes Stekkergehäuse isoliert. In zweckmäßiger Weise ist hierzu an der offenen Vorderseite des letzten Kontaktträgers zur Abdeckung seiner offenen Kanäle ein plattenförmiges Isolierteil vorgesehen.In a cable connector according to the invention at least the contact block forming the module connector the open side, i.e. the front of the last one Contact carrier, against a conductive plug housing isolated. This is useful on the open front of the last contact carrier a plate-shaped to cover its open channels Insulated part provided.

Das plattenförmige Isolierteil weist an zwei zueinander parallelen, in Steckrichtung verlaufenden Längskanten Seitenstege auf, womit es mit den Seitenwänden eines weiteren, im Querschnitt etwa U-förmigen Isolierteiles verrastbar und zu einem Kontaktblockbehälter zusammenfügbar ist, der die Kontaktträger in zu dem Kontaktblock gestapeltem Zustand zusammenhält. In vorteilhafter Weise können die Isolierteile eines derartigen Kontaktblockbehälters noch zusätzliche Funktionen ausüben, indem die Isolierteile im Bereich ihres steckseitigen Endes mit Polarisierungs- und Codierungsmitteln versehen sind.The plate-shaped insulating part has two mutually parallel, Side webs running in the direction of insertion on what the side walls of another, Can be locked in cross section approximately U-shaped insulating part and can be assembled into a contact block container which is the contact carrier stacked in to the contact block Condition holds together. In advantageous The insulating parts of such a contact block container can perform additional functions, by the insulating parts in the area of their plug end provided with polarizing and coding means are.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes des Anspruchs 1 sind in den übrigen Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous refinements of the subject of claim 1 are in the remaining subclaims specified.

    • Der geschirmte Kabelstecker 1 (Fig.5) besteht aus einem leitend ausgebildeten Steckergehäuse 2, einer Einrichtung 3 zum Anschluß eines vieladrigen Kabels 4 und einem mehrteiligen, in das Steckergehäuse eingesetzten Modulstecker 5 für den Anschluß der einzelnen Kabeladern 6.The shielded cable connector 1 (Fig. 5) consists of a conductive plug housing 2, one Device 3 for connecting a multi-core cable 4 and a multi-part, inserted into the connector housing Module connector 5 for connecting the individual Cable cores 6.

    Das Steckergehäuse 2 ist z.B. aus zwei metallenen, im Querschnitt U-förmigen Halbschalen 2a und 2b zusammengesetzt, die zweckmäßigerweise von Blechstanzbiegeteilen gebildet werden. An der Kabeleinführseite sind die Halbschalen 2a und 2b jeweils mit einer Stirnwand 21 bzw. 22 (Fig.5) und einer in dieser vorgesehenen, zur anderen Halbschale hin offenen Ausnehmung 23 bzw. 24 zur Einführung der Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 ausgebildet. Die Ausnehmungen 23,24 sind langlochartig in den zur Steckrichtung hier senkrechtenn Stirnwänden 21,22 vorgesehen und an ihrem bogenförmigen Ende jeweils von einem senkrecht zur jeweiligen Stirnwand abstehenden Kragen 25 bzw. 26 umgeben. Wie die Fig.5 zeigt, ist in die eine Halbschale 2a der Modulstecker 5 mit dem über die Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 angeschlossenen Kabel 4 eingeführt, während die andere Halbschale 2b im auf die Halbschale 2a aufgesetzten Zustand als Kappe den Stecker geschirmt abschließt.The connector housing 2 is e.g. from two metal, assembled in cross section U-shaped half-shells 2a and 2b, the expedient of sheet metal stampings be formed. On the cable entry side are the half shells 2a and 2b each with one End wall 21 or 22 (FIG. 5) and one provided in this, recess open to the other half-shell 23 or 24 for the introduction of the cable connection device 3 trained. The recesses 23, 24 are like an oblong hole in the direction perpendicular to the direction of insertion End walls 21,22 provided and on their arcuate End of one perpendicular to the respective End protruding collar 25 or 26 surround. As Fig.5 shows, there is a half shell 2a of the module connector 5 with the Cable connection device 3 connected cables 4 introduced while the other half-shell 2b on the half-shell 2a attached state as a cap Shielded connector.

    Die Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 umfaßt - wie die Figuren zeigen - ein ringförmiges Crimpelement 31, eine über das Kabel 4 schiebbare metallene Stützhülse 32 und eine relativ flache, ebenfalls metallene Überwurfmutter 33. Die Stützhülse 32 ist an einem Ende mit einem ein Außengewinde 34 aufweisenden Gewindeteil 35 zur Verschraubung mit der Überwurfmutter 33 und am anderen Ende mit einem geschlitzten, Innengewindegänge aufweisenden Kontaktteil 36 für den Kabelschirm ausgebildet. Zwischen dem Gewindeteil 35 und dem Kontaktteil 36 weist die Stützhülse 32 einen radial abstehenden Flansch 37 auf, der - insbesondere wenn die Stützhülse aus einem sechskantigen Material hergestellt ist - eine Sechskant-Umfangsform hat, wobei die Schlüsselweite des Flansches 37 größer ist als die lichte Innenweite - hier die Breite - der in den Stirnwänden 21,22 des Steckergehäuses 2 vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen 23,24.The cable connection device 3 comprises - like the figures show - an annular crimping element 31, a Metal support sleeve 32 which can be pushed over the cable 4 and a relatively flat, also metal union nut 33. The support sleeve 32 is at one end with a an external thread 34 having a threaded part 35 for screwing with the union nut 33 and at the other end with a slotted, internal thread having contact part 36 for the cable shield educated. Between the threaded part 35 and the contact part 36, the support sleeve 32 has a radial projecting flange 37, which - especially if the support sleeve made of a hexagonal material is - has a hexagonal circumferential shape, whereby the wrench size of the flange 37 is larger than that clear inside width - here the width - that in the end walls 21,22 of the connector housing 2 provided recesses 23.24.

    Die Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 wird in einem separaten Montageschritt an dem Kabel 4 vormontiert. Dazu wird die Stützhülse 32 samt Überwurfmutter 33 über das abisolierte Kabel 4 geschoben und mit den Innengewindegangen des Kontaktteiles 36 auf den Kabelmantel geschraubt. Nun wird der Kabelschirm außen über das Kontaktteil 36 umgestülpt, das ringförmige Crimpelement 31 darübergeschoben und mittels einer einfachen Zange z.B. an zwei verformten Stellen 38 weiter zusammengedrückt und gespannt. Dadurch drückt das Crimpelement 31 den Kabelschirm fest auf das Kontaktteil 36, welches mit seinen Innengewindegängen weiter in den Kabelmantel eintritt, bis die Schlitze geschlossen sind und ein geschlosssener Durchmesser entsteht. Das Kabel 4 ist damit für den Anschluß seiner Adern 6 an den Modulstecker 5 und für den Einbau in das Stekkergehäuse vorbereitet.The cable connection device 3 is in a separate Assembly step pre-assembled on the cable 4. For this purpose, the support sleeve 32 together with the union nut 33 pushed over the stripped cable 4 and went with the internal thread of the contact part 36 on the cable jacket screwed. Now the cable shield is outside turned over the contact part 36, the annular crimping element 31 pushed over and by means of a simple Pliers e.g. at two deformed points 38 compressed and tense. This pushes it Crimp element 31 the cable shield firmly on the contact part 36, which continues with its internal threads enters the cable sheath until the slots are closed and a closed diameter is created. The cable 4 is 6 for connecting its wires to the module connector 5 and for installation in the connector housing prepared.

    Der Modulstecker 5 ist baukastenartig aus mehreren Kontaktträgern aus Isoliermaterial aufgebaut, die mit reihenartig angeordneten Kontakten für den Anschluß der einzelnen Kabeladern 6 versehen sind. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Modulstecker 5 fünf Kontakttrager 51a,51b,51c,51d und 51e auf, die plattenförmig ausgebildet und mit jeweils einer einzigen Kontaktreihe 58 versehen sind. Alle Kontaktreihen 58 des Modulsteckers 5 sind jeweils auf der gleichen Außenfläche der Kontaktträger 51a bis 51e, nämlich auf der dem Betrachter der Figuren zugewandten Vorderseite 52 der einzelnen Kontaktträger angeordnet. Die Kontaktreihen 58 sind jeweils durch in der oberen Hälfte der Kontaktträger vorgesehene, zueinander parallele und offene, in Steckrichtung verlaufende Kanäle 53, in die hier nicht eingezeichnete IDC-(Insulation Displacement Connection) Kontakte eingefügt und in kleinen Löchern 54 verankert sind, sowie durch zu diesen Kanälen fluchtende und geschlossene Kanäle, die zur Steckseite hin innerhalb der Materialdicke der Kontaktträger verlaufen, gebildet. Eine Kontaktreihe weist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel neun Kanäle 53 mit vorbestückten IDC-Kontakten auf. Die offenen Kanäle 53 sind durch parallele Trennwände 55 gebildet, an deren unterem Ende vor Beginn der geschlossenen Kanäle jeweils zwei kleine parallele Rippen 56 abragen. Dementsprechend sind die Kontakttrager 51a bis 51e an ihrer Rückseite 57 in Höhe dieser Rippen mit zwei hier nicht sichtbaren Schlitzen ausgebildet, in welche die Rippen 56 eines benachbarten Kontaktträgers eingreifen können. Die Rippen 56 und die korrespondierenden Schlitze dienen als gegenseitige Arretierung der später zu einem Modulstecker zusammengebauten Kontakttrager 51a bis 51e in Steckrichtung und quer dazu.The module connector 5 is modular, consisting of several Contact carriers made of insulating material, the with contacts arranged in rows for the connection of the individual cable wires 6 are provided. at the illustrated embodiment has the module connector 5 five contact carriers 51a, 51b, 51c, 51d and 51e, which are plate-shaped and each with a single row of contacts 58 are provided. All rows of contacts 58 of the module connector 5 are each on the same outer surface of the contact carriers 51a to 51e, namely on the one facing the viewer of the figures Front 52 of the individual contact carriers arranged. The contact rows 58 are each through in the upper half of the contact carrier provided to each other parallel and open, in the direction of insertion Channels 53, in the IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) Contacts inserted and are anchored in small holes 54, as well as by channels that are aligned and closed, the towards the mating side within the material thickness of the Contact carriers run, formed. A row of contacts has nine channels in the illustrated embodiment 53 with pre-assembled IDC contacts. The open ones Channels 53 are formed by parallel partitions 55, at the lower end before the start of the closed Channels protrude two small parallel ribs 56 each. Accordingly, the contact carriers 51a to 51e on the back 57 at the level of these ribs with two slots not visible here, into which engage the ribs 56 of an adjacent contact carrier can. The ribs 56 and the corresponding ones Slots serve as mutual locking of the later assembled into a module connector Contact carrier 51a to 51e in the plugging direction and transversely thereto.

    Vor dem Anschluß der Kabeladern 6 an die Kontaktträger 51a bis 51e sind diese - wie in Fig.1 gezeigt - so ausgerichtet, daß sie alle mit ihrer Vorderseite dem Betrachter der Fig.1 zugewandt sind, d.h. die mit der Kontaktreihe 58 versehene Vorderseite 52 z.B. des ersten Kontaktträgers 51a liegt der kontaktfreien Rückseite 57 des zweiten Kontaktträgers 51b gegenüber. Ebenso verhält es sich auch zwischen den weiteren einander benachbarten Kontaktträgern 51 b und 51 c bzw. 51c und 51d sowie 51d und 51e. Dadurch ist ausgeschlossen, daß sich die offenen Kontakte der Kontaktreihe eines Kontaktträgers und der Kontaktreihe eines benachbarten Kontaktträgers ungesichert gegenüberliegen. Zum Anschluß der Kabeladern werden nun z.B. neun Adern 6 mittels eines Spezialwerkzeuges in den ersten Kontaktträger 51a bzw. dessen IDC-Kontakte eingedrückt (Fig. 1). Dann erfolgt der Anschluß einer zweiten Aderngruppe an den zweiten Kontaktträger 51 b und nacheinander der Anschluß der weiteren Kontaktträger 51c, 51d und 51e, bis alle Kontaktreihen, hier also fünf Kontaktreihen mit je neun Adern, angeschlossen sind. Auf diese Weise wird ein vieladriges, z.B. ein 45-adriges Kabel an die Kontaktträger 51a bis 51e des Modulsteckers 5 angeschlossen, wobei der Anschluß einer Vielzahl von Adern aufgrund des vorteilhaften Aufbaus des Modulsteckers in rationeller Weise erfolgen kann. Man erhält dann nach dem Anschluß der Kabeladern 6 ein in anschlußtechnischer Beziehung weitgehend vorbereitetes Kabelende, bei dem die Kontaktträger 51a bis 51e des Modulsteckers 5 zunächst noch breit aufgefächert und die Adernanschlüsse deshalb noch gut sichtbar und gut zugänglich sind (Fig.2). Die Kontaktträger 51a bis 51e werden nun nacheinander einfach baukastenartig aufeinandergestapelt, so daß sie - wie Fig.3 zeigt - einen kompakten, geschlossenen Kontaktblock 59 bilden, dessen Kontaktträger unmittelbar aufeinanderliegen. Da sich hierbei zwischen der Kontaktreihe 58 an der Vorderseite 52 eines Kontaktträgers und der Kontaktreihe 58 an der Vorderseite 52 eines benachbarten Kontaktträgers jeweils eine kontaktfreie Rückseite 57 eines Kontaktträgers befindet, sind die offenen Kontakte gegeneinander gesichert, so daß keine isolierenden Zwischenlagen zwischen den einzelnen Kontaktträgern erforderlich sind. In dem zu einem Kontaktblock 59 zusammengefügten Zustand sind die aufeinandergestapelten Kontaktträger 51a bis 51e auch gegenseitig in Steckrichtung und quer dazu arretiert, da dann die Rippen 56 eines Kontaktträgers jeweils in die Schlitze an der Rückseite des davorliegenden benachbarten Kontaktträgers eingreifen. Der Kontaktblock 59 weist auch geschlossene Seitenflächen 60 auf, die hier jeweils durch an zwei zueinander parallelen, in Steckrichtung verlaufenden Längskanten an der Vorderseite der einzelnen Kontaktträger vorgesehene schmale nd abgestufte Seitenstege 61, welche in korrespondierende Vertiefungen 62 an der Rückseite 57 eines benachbarten Kontaktträgers eingreifen, gebildet sind, um Luft - und Kriechstrecken zu vermeiden. Lediglich an der dem Betrachter der Fig. 3 zugewandten Vorderseite ist der Kontaktblock 59 offen, da die Kontakte an der Vorderseite 52 des Kontaktträgers 51e nicht abgedeckt sind. Before connecting the cable wires 6 to the contact carrier 51a to 51e are these - as shown in Fig.1 - Aligned so that they all face the front 1 are facing viewers, i.e. the one with the Front row 52 provided with contact row 58 e.g. of the first Contact carrier 51a is the non-contact back 57 of the second contact carrier 51b opposite. As well it is also the case between the others adjacent contact carriers 51 b and 51 c and 51c and 51d and 51d and 51e. This prevents that the open contacts of the row of contacts one Contact carrier and the contact row of an adjacent Contact carrier unsecured. To the Connection of the cable wires are now e.g. nine veins 6 using a special tool in the first contact carrier 51a or its IDC contacts pressed in (Fig. 1). Then a second wire group is connected to the second contact carrier 51 b and one after the other the connection of the further contact carriers 51c, 51d and 51e until all rows of contacts, here five rows of contacts with nine wires each. To this A multi-core, e.g. a 45-core cable the contact carriers 51a to 51e of the module connector 5 are connected, connecting a variety of Cores due to the advantageous construction of the module connector can be done in a rational manner. You get then after connecting the cable wires 6 in connection technology Relationship largely prepared Cable end, in which the contact carrier 51a to 51e of the module connector 5 is still widely fanned out and the wire connections are therefore still clearly visible and are easily accessible (Fig. 2). The contact carriers 51a to 51e are now simply modular in succession stacked on top of each other, so that - as Fig.3 shows - one form compact, closed contact block 59, whose contact carrier lie directly on top of each other. Since here between the row of contacts 58 on the Front 52 of a contact carrier and the row of contacts 58 on the front 52 of an adjacent contact carrier each have a non-contact back 57 of a Contact carrier is located, the open contacts are against each other secured so that no insulating intermediate layers required between the individual contact carriers are. In the assembled into a contact block 59 Condition are the stacked one on top of the other Contact carriers 51a to 51e also mutually in Plugging direction and locked across, because then the ribs 56 of a contact carrier in each case in the slots the back of the adjacent contact carrier in front of it intervention. The contact block 59 also has closed side surfaces 60, each here by two parallel to each other, in the direction of insertion running longitudinal edges on the front of each Contact carrier provided narrow and graduated Side webs 61, which in corresponding Wells 62 on the back 57 of an adjacent one Engaging contact carrier, are formed to air - and avoid creepage distances. Only at that 3 is the observer facing the front Contact block 59 open because the contacts are on the front 52 of the contact carrier 51e are not covered.

    Wie insbesondere die Fig. 2 und 3 erkennen lassen, kann der in Fig. 3 gezeigte Kontaktblock 59 ebenso leicht wie beim Zusammenbau wieder aufgefächert werden, so daß die Kontaktreihen 58 der einzelnen, aufgefächerten Kontakttrager 51a bis 51 e - wie Fig.2 zeigt - für evtl. Auswechslungen von Kontakten gut zugänglich sind.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, The contact block 59 shown in FIG. 3 can likewise can be easily fanned out again like when assembling, so that the contact rows 58 of the individual, fanned out Contact carrier 51a to 51e - as shown in Fig. 2 - easily accessible for possible exchange of contacts are.

    Der in Fig. 3 dargestellte Kontaktblock 59 ist - wie Fig.4 zeigt - in einem Kontaktblockbehälter 63 aufgenommen, der aus einem im Querschnitt etwa U-förmigen ersten Isolierteil 63a und einem plattenförmigen zweiten Isolierteil 63b besteht. Das erste Isolierteil 63a weist zwei Seitenwände 64, die im Bereich der Enden ihrer vorderen Längskante mit jeweils zwei Rastlöchern 65 versehen sind, sowie eine über die Seitenwände 64 hinaus verlängerte Rückwand 66 zur Auflage des Kontaktblocks 59 auf. Hierzu ist die dem Kontaktblock zugewandte Innenfläche der Rückwand 66 wie die Vorderseite der Kontakttrager 51a bis 51e mit den Rippen 56 entsprechenden eigenen Rippen ausgebildet, die dann in die Schlitze an der Rückseite 57 des erscen Kontaktträgers 51a eingreifen. Das zweite plattenförmige Isolierteil 63b dient nun als Abdeckung für die offene Seite des Kontaktblockes, d.h. als Abdeckung der offenen Kontakte des letzten Kontakt trägers 51e und gleichzeitig als Deckel des Kontaktblockbehälters 63. Das zweite Isolierteil 63b weist an zwei zueinandeer parallelen, in Steckrichtung verlaufenden Längskanten Seitenstege 67 mit jeweils zwei entsprechend der Lage der Rastlöcher 65 des ersten Isolierteils 63a angeordneten Rastnasen 68 auf. Diese Rastnasen schnappen beim Zusammenfügen der beiden Isolierteile 63a und 63b zu dem Kontaktblockbehälter 63 in die Rastlöcher 65 ein. Der Kontaktblock 59 ist dann durch das zweite Isolierteil 63b zusammengehalten und an seiner offenen Seite isolierend abgedeckt.The contact block 59 shown in FIG. 3 is like 4 shows - accommodated in a contact block container 63, which consists of an approximately U-shaped cross section first insulating part 63a and a plate-shaped second insulating part 63b. The first insulating part 63a has two side walls 64 which are in the region of the ends their front longitudinal edge, each with two locking holes 65 are provided, as well as one over the side walls 64 also extended rear wall 66 to support the contact block 59 on. For this purpose, the one facing the contact block Inner surface of the rear wall 66 as the front the contact carrier 51a to 51e with the ribs 56 corresponding own ribs formed, which then into the slots on the back 57 of the first contact carrier 51a intervene. The second plate-shaped insulating part 63b now serves as a cover for the open side of the contact block, i.e. as a cover of the open Contacts of the last contact carrier 51e and at the same time as the lid of the contact block container 63. The second Insulating part 63b has two parallel, in Longitudinal edges of the side bars 67 with two each according to the position of the locking holes 65 of the first insulating part 63a arranged locking lugs 68 on. These latches snap together when you put them together of the two insulating parts 63a and 63b the contact block container 63 into the locking holes 65. The contact block 59 is then through the second insulating part 63b held together and on its open side covered with insulation.

    Die beiden Isolierteile 63a und 63b des Kontaktblockbehälters 63 sind - wie bei dem Isolierteil 63b in den Fig. 4 und 5 zu sehen ist - im Bereich ihres steckseitigen (unteren) Endes noch mit Polarisierungs- und Codiermitteln versehen. Diese Mittel sind durch in Steckrichtung verlaufende Rippen 69 und Nuten 70 an der Außenfläche 71 des Isolierteiles 63b bzw. an der Außenfläche der Rückwand 66 des Isolierteiles 63a sowie durch in die Nuten gesondert einsetzbare Leisten 72 gebildet.The two insulating parts 63a and 63b of the contact block container 63 are - as with the insulating part 63b in 4 and 5 can be seen - in the area of their mating side (lower) end with polarization and Provide coding means. These funds are through in Ribs 69 and grooves 70 extending in the direction of insertion the outer surface 71 of the insulating part 63b or on the outer surface the rear wall 66 of the insulating part 63a and formed by strips 72 which can be inserted separately into the grooves.

    Der Kontaktblock 59 und der Behälter 63 bilden den kompletten Modulstecker 5, der - wie die Fig.5 zeigt und eingangs bereits erwähnt ist - mit dem über die Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 angeschlossenen vieladrigen Kabel 4 als Ganzes in die Halbschale 2a des Steckergehäuses 2 eingesetzt und in dieser z.B. mittels in den Seitenwänden 27 der Halbschale nach innen eingerissener Rastzungen 28 verriegelt gehalten ist. Dabei ist das mit der Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 vormontierte Kabel 4 so in die Halbschale 2a eingeführt, daß der Flansch 37 der Stützhülse 32 sich innerhalb dieser Halbschale, d.h. unter deren Stirnwand 22, befindet. Nach dem Zusammenstecken der Halbschalen 2a und 2b wird dann die Überwurfmutter 33 festgeschraubt, so daß die Stirnwände 21,22 der zusammengesetzten Halbschalen 2a und 2b des Steckergehäuses 2 zwischen dem Flansch 37 der Stützhülse 32 und der auf das Gewindeteil 35 der Stützhülse aufgeschraubten Überwurfmutter 33 fest eingespannt sind. Damit ist die mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Steckergehäuse 2 und der Kabelanschlußeinrichtung 3 hergestellt, wobei aufgrund einer entsprechenden lichten Außenweite der zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegenden Kragen 25,26 die Überwurfmutter 33 diese Kragen übergreift. Außerdem ist im festgeschraubten Zustand der Überwurfmutter 33 die Kontaktierung des Kabelschirmes am Steckergehäuse 2 hergestellt.The contact block 59 and the container 63 form the complete module connector 5, which - as the Fig.5 shows and is already mentioned at the beginning - with the cable connection device 3 connected multi-core Cable 4 as a whole in the half-shell 2a of the connector housing 2 used and in this e.g. by means of Side walls 27 of the half-shell torn inwards Locking tongues 28 is kept locked. It is the pre-assembled with the cable connection device 3 Cable 4 inserted into the half-shell 2a so that the Flange 37 of the support sleeve 32 itself within this Half-shell, i.e. is located under the end wall 22. After the half-shells 2a and 2b the union nut 33 is then screwed on, see above that the end walls 21,22 of the composite Half shells 2a and 2b of the connector housing 2 between the flange 37 of the support sleeve 32 and the screwed the threaded part 35 of the support sleeve Union nut 33 are firmly clamped. So that's it mechanical connection between the connector housing 2 and the cable connection device 3, being due to a corresponding clear outside width of the two diametrically opposite one another Collar 25,26 the cap nut 33 this collar overlaps. It is also screwed in place the union nut 33 the contacting of the cable shield made on the connector housing 2.

    Bei zu dem Steckergehäuse 2 zusammengesetzten Halbschalen 2a und 2b ist dann die durch das zweite Isolierteil 63b abgedeckte Kontaktreihe 58 an der Vorderseite 52 des letzten Kontaktträgers 51e gegen das leitend ausgebildete Steckergehäuse 2 isoliert und damit gesichert.When assembled to the connector housing 2 Half shells 2a and 2b is then that of the second Insulating part 63b covered contact row 58 on the front 52 of the last contact carrier 51e against the Conductively trained connector housing 2 insulated and thus secured.

    Im Gegensatz zu dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispi-el kann das Steckergehäuse auch einteilig ausgebildet sein, wobei der Kontaktblock mit Isolierung dann in die offene Stirnseite des Steckergehäuses eingeschoben wird.In contrast to the exemplary embodiment shown the connector housing can also be made in one piece be the contact block with insulation then inserted into the open end of the connector housing becomes.
