Definitions

  • the invention relates to a codable connector with a plug-in part and a socket with a plug-in opening, in particular for communication technology, a coding plate having at least one projection being provided at the plug-in opening, and at least one recess cooperating with the projection of the coding plate on the plug-in part is provided.
  • a coding plate is provided with a substantially rectangular opening for coding the socket.
  • Protrusions are formed in the corner regions of the opening of the coding plate, one of these protrusions extending into the opening over a greater distance than the other three protrusions and acting as a coding element.
  • the front of the socket is provided with protruding pins on which the coding plate with the between the projections formed grooves can be plugged.
  • the arrangement is symmetrical to at least one longitudinal plane of the socket, so that the coding plate can be attached in four different positions.
  • the projection acting as a coding element can thus optionally be arranged in front of each of the four corner regions of the plug opening of the socket.
  • the plug has at least one recess arranged along an edge of its plug part.
  • the plug can be inserted through the plug opening of the socket if and only if the projection acting as a coding element and the recess are arranged in the same corners of the respective element.
  • a lockable connector in which coding bars are provided for subsequent coding of the socket.
  • the socket has openings associated with the position of the recesses of the plug part of the plug, into which openings the coding latches can optionally be inserted and locked.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve a connector of the type mentioned above and to simplify its handling.
  • the object is achieved in that, in the case of a codable plug connector of the type mentioned at the outset, coding pins are assigned to the recesses of the plug part of the plug. With such a design, the connector can be individually coded after its manufacture. The coding can then be done at the factory or by the end user.
  • One embodiment of the invention provides that the coding pins of the recesses for coding the plug-in part can be broken out.
  • the coding of the plug can thus be set once and irreversibly.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the coding pins for coding the plug-in part can be removed and reinserted. Such an embodiment also allows a subsequent recoding of the plug.
  • a plug-in element that can be attached to the end face of the plug-in part is provided, the ends of which act as coding pins for the at least one recess of the plug-in part.
  • a separate coding pin does not have to be provided for each of the recesses of the plug-in part, but only a plug-in element is necessary, the ends of which, when the plug-in element is attached to the end face of the plug-in part, extend up to the recesses.
  • the ends of the plug-in element can be bent or broken off for coding the plug-in part.
  • a shield substantially surrounding the plug-in part is provided, which extends to the front of the plug-in part, portions of the shield acting as coding pins for the at least one recess in the plug-in part.
  • the sections of the shield which act as coding pins can be bent.
  • the socket (10) is preferably made of plastic and has a plug opening (12) on one end face for receiving a plug. Corresponding plugs are described below with reference to the further Figures 2 to 5.
  • a shielding housing (21, 22) made of a conductive material is arranged around the bushing (10) and is constructed in particular from thin sheet metal walls which abut the outer sides of the bushing (10).
  • the shielding housing (21, 22) in the exemplary embodiment shown is in three parts and comprises two individual shielding plates (22) (only one of which is visible in the illustration in FIG. 1) and a substantially U-shaped angled plate (21).
  • the two individual shielding plates (22) are fastened to two opposite lateral outer walls of the bushing (10) by being clipped onto a horizontal web-like projection (19) of these outer walls with an incision (29).
  • the angled plate (21) is shaped so that it can be placed on the end of the bushing (10) and this comes to rest on the other two outer walls and the end wall of the bushing (10).
  • the angled sheet (21) On his the angled sheet (21) has an opening corresponding to the plug-in opening (12) of the bushing (10) on the end wall portion.
  • the angled plate (21) Along the vertical edges of at least one lateral outer wall, the angled plate (21) has clip-like projections (26) which extend around the edge of the socket and surround the adjacent shielding plates (22) at their edges. As a result, the shield housing (21, 22) is firmly seated and contact is made between all parts of the shield housing.
  • the plug opening (12) of the socket (10) is substantially rectangular with inner walls (15, 16, 17, 18), with recesses being provided on the inner wall (16) for receiving a projection and a locking tab of the projection formed on this Connector.
  • the opening in the angled plate (21) is shaped corresponding to the plug-in opening (12) of the socket (10) and, when the angled plate (21) is slid correctly onto the socket (10), lies substantially congruent with the plug-in opening (12) .
  • a cantilevered bracket (24) pointing towards the insertion opening (12) is formed on the angled plate (21).
  • a spring catch (23) in the form of a tab is formed on the vertical section of the angled plate (21), which protrudes by approximately the height of the coding plate (1) lying over the horizontal upper edge of the outer wall, and the end of which is angled towards the plug-in opening (12) and extends to just before the edge of the inner wall (15).
  • angularly projecting stops (25) are formed on the edges of the angled sheet (21).
  • the coding plate (1) is an essentially rectangular sheet metal plate with a recess (2).
  • the recess (2) is likewise essentially rectangular with the edges (5, 6, 7, 8), a projection (3) being provided in the corner region between the edges (5 and 8). Furthermore, a hole as a marking (4) is made in the coding plate (1) in the area of the projection (3).
  • the dimensions of the coding plate (1) are selected so that their outer edges (7 ', 8') come to rest against the stops (25), while their outer edges (5 ', 6') fit exactly between the spring catch ( 23) and the cantilevered bracket (24) of the angled plate (21).
  • To insert the coding plate (1) it is pushed with one of the outer edges (5 'or 6') under the angled end of the spring catch (23) while it is with the perpendicular edges (7 ', 8') of the stops (25). Then the coding plate (1) is moved against the spring loading of the spring catch (23) until it can be pushed with its opposite outer edge under the cantilevered bracket (24). The coding plate (1) is then held in its position by the action of the spring catch (23).
  • the coding plate (1) is thus pushed with its outer edge (5 ') under the spring catch (23) in order to be inserted into the projecting bracket (24) with its opposite outer edge (6') ,
  • the two outer edges (7 ', 8') running perpendicular to it come to rest on the stops (25).
  • the coding-effective projection (3) then comes to lie in the front corner region of the plug opening (12) of the socket (10) facing the viewer.
  • the marking (4) designed as a hole shows immediately in which corner of the plug opening the coding is effective.
  • a connector (30) according to the invention is shown, which has a housing with a plug-in part (31) which is substantially rectangular and is provided on its underside with a rectangular projection (35) to which a protrudes obliquely downwards elastic tab (36) adjoins.
  • the plug-in part (31) On its upper side, the plug-in part (31) has contact blades (33) in the region of its end face.
  • the plug (30) is provided with recesses (32) running along the longitudinal edges of the plug part (31), the length of which corresponds to the insertion length for the plug (30).
  • the recesses (32) are delimited to the end face of the plug-in part (31) by projecting coding pins (34).
  • the plug (30) can be coded by breaking out one or more coding pins (34), so that it can only be inserted into a correspondingly coded socket (10).
  • the coding of the plug (30) is a one-time, irreversible coding, since the coding pins (34), once they have broken out, cannot be used again.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of a plug (40) with a plug-in part (41), in which the coding is reversible, that is to say can be subsequently changed.
  • the plug-in part (41) of the plug (40) again has a projection formed underneath the plug-in part (41) with a tab, on the latter Presentation has been omitted for reasons of clarity.
  • essentially cuboid coding pins (44) are provided, which are firmly inserted into recesses provided at the front end of the recesses (42).
  • the coding pins (44) can optionally be removed simply by pulling them out, as indicated by the arrow, as a result of which the associated recess (42) is exposed in a coding-effective manner. If the coding of the plug-in part (41) is to be changed again later, the removed coding pins can be reinserted into the corresponding recess.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of a plug (50) according to the invention is shown in FIG. 4.
  • the plug (50) in turn has a housing with a plug-in part (51) and contact blades (53) arranged on the end of the plug-in part (51).
  • Recesses (52) are again provided along the edges of the plug-in part (51).
  • Recesses (52) lying one above the other are connected to one another on the end face by a vertical recess.
  • the vertical recesses are connected to each other by a horizontal groove.
  • An essentially H-shaped plug element (55) can be inserted into this horizontal groove, the vertical webs of which come to lie in the vertical cutouts and the ends of which, as coding pins (54), close the recesses (52) of the plug part (51).
  • coding pins (54) of the plug element (50) can either be broken off or bent over. If the coding is to be changed again later, a new plug-in element can be used (55) are used and are encoded again by removing individual ends accordingly. If the coding pins can be bent, they can be bent back to change the coding.
  • FIG. 5 A further embodiment of a reversibly codable plug is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the plug-in part (61) of the plug (60) is essentially covered by a shield (67) which extends along the side surfaces of the plug-in part (61) up to its end face.
  • the front ends (68) of the shield (67) are angled and embrace the edge of the front side of the plug part (61).
  • projections are provided on the angled end (68) which come to lie in front of the recesses (62) and serve as coding pins (64).
  • the plug (60) can be coded by selectively bending individual coding pins (64). To change the coding, bent coding pins (64) can be bent back.
