Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector, consisting of a trough-shaped receptacle part and a plug part that can be plugged into it, with the following features:
- the receptacle part has a plug-in channel with an elongated, approximately rectangular cross-section which is characterized by longer longitudinal side walls and shorter transverse side walls adjacent be ⁇ ab ⁇ and at its inner end is closed by a bottom from which a variety of ⁇ n th Steckerstif- straight up standing,
- the plug part has an essentially rectangular cross-section with longitudinal side surfaces and transverse side surfaces and with a front end surface, # in which plug openings are arranged for the passage of the plug pins to the sockets behind, the transverse side surfaces on the transverse walls when the plug part is inserted into the receiving part and the longitudinal side surfaces are guided on guide sections of the longitudinal side walls.
- Such a connector is described for example in DE-GM 87 14 016.
- coding in the plug housing to protect against incorrect insertion.
- a coding rib is formed on one part, for example the plug part, while a complementary coding groove is provided in the other part, that is to say, for example, in the receiving part.
- the plug part can then only be inserted into the receiving part with a certain orientation, provided that the latter has a corresponding coding groove.
- such coding only prevents the two connector parts from being inserted into one another with the wrong orientation or different coding and thereby producing faulty electrical connections.
- the coding cannot prevent the plug part from being partially inserted into the plug channel.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to design a plug connector of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that inadvertently incorrect insertion and thus damage to the plug pins is reliably excluded.
- a safety rib extending in the plug-in direction is formed in the vicinity of the two end edges on both longitudinal side faces of the plug part in such a way that the width of the plug part with the respective opposite safety ribs is greater than the largest clear one in a plug connector of the type mentioned at the beginning Wei ⁇ te of the plug-in channel, and complementary plug-in grooves are formed in the side walls of the receiving part for receiving the safety ribs.
- any incorrect insertion including an oblique insertion of an end edge, is excluded.
- the design according to the invention is particularly important in the event that the plug-in channel of the receiving part has an enlarged clear width due to cutouts in the longitudinal side walls approximately in the central region. In the connector according to DE-GM 87 1A 016, for example, this is provided for the purpose of arranging organs for locking the plug connection in an enlarged gap between the plug part and the receiving part.
- the locking members are attached to the plug part and the plug-in channel of the receiving part has relatively large recesses in the central area, the risk is very great that an obliquely inserted plug part can be inserted relatively far into this central area of the plug-in channel and reached there even set back pins.
- the safety ribs can be set back from the front end face of the plug part by a distance which is in any case less than the safety distance of the connector pins.
- the safety ribs of a side surface are expediently each at a different distance from the end edges of the side surfaces. In this way, a kind of additional coding against incorrect polarity is achieved via the safety ribs, even when plugged in straight.
- the security ribs can at least partially be formed as projections on an existing coding rib.
- Figures 4 and 5 a receiving part in two different views.
- the plug part 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a housing 2 which, at least in the lower part 2a, has an essentially rectangular cross section. This lower part is delimited on the outer circumference by the longitudinal sides 3 and 4 and by the transverse sides 5 and 6.
- the front end in the plugging direction is delimited by an end face 7 which has a multiplicity of plug openings 8 (only a few are indicated in FIG. 2) ) has.
- the housing has a cavity 9, into which (in FIG. 1 from the left) socket strips can be inserted.
- These socket strips not shown, have a corresponding socket behind each plug opening 8.
- the insertion opening for the socket strips is closed off by a pluggable closure plate 10.
- a cable feed channel 11 is also formed on the top of the plug part 1.
- the plug part has at one end a coding rib 12 known per se.
- the receiving part 20 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 has a housing base 21 which has a multiplicity of plug pins 22, only a few of which are indicated in FIG. 5.
- the height of the connector pins 22 is indicated in FIG. 4 by the dash-dotted line 22 '.
- the connector pins are surrounded by a circumferential collar of the receiving part enclosed, which is formed from two longitudinal side walls 23 and 24 and two transverse side walls 25 and 26. These side walls thus form a plug-in channel 27 into which the plug part 1 can be inserted.
- the plug part is guided with its transverse side surfaces 5 and 6 on the transverse side walls 25 and 26 and with its longitudinal side surfaces 3 and 4 on guide sections 28, 29, 30 and 31 of the receiving part.
- coding grooves 32 are provided in the receiving part, so that even with vertical insertion and with correct alignment, only the associated plug part can be inserted into the receiving part.
- the coding rib in the example shown is only on the right side in the figure, it does not prevent incorrect insertion of the plug part into the inclined position, that is to say with the end edge on the left in the figure.
- the connector part can of course not be fully inserted, the connector pins 22 can still be damaged. This applies all the more to the example shown, since recesses 33 and 34 are provided in the receiving part in the longitudinal side walls 23 and 24 between the guide sections 28 and 30 and 29 and 31, respectively, which are for a locking device (not shown) between the receiving part and create space for the plug part. In this case, the connector part could even be inserted obliquely with the coding ribs 32 ahead.
- additional safety ribs 35, 36, 37 and 38 are formed on both sides in the end regions of the longitudinal side surfaces 3 and 4 of the plug part, through which the plug part is given a width at the ends, which in in any case is greater than the greatest internal width of the plug-in channel 27 between the cutouts 33 and 34.
- the safety ribs 35, 36, 37 and 38 mentioned are correspondingly assigned corresponding safety grooves 45, 46, 47 and 48 in the receiving part.
- these safety ribs 35 and 36 at one end of the plug part and the safety ribs 37 and 38 at the other end of the plug part each have a different small distance from the respective end edge or the transverse side surfaces 5 and 6 respectively also the guarantee that the connector part cannot be inserted rotated by 180 * in the vertical direction.
- the additional safety grooves 45, 46, 47 and 48 reduce the wall thickness of the receiving part in their area, it is desirable not to make these grooves too deep. For this reason, in the present example, the safety ribs 35 to 38 are not led to the end surface 7, but are set back by a certain distance, so that the safety grooves 45 to 48 need not be very deep either. However, this distance between the recessed safety ribs must not be greater than the distance between the upper ends of the plug pins 22, as indicated by the dash-dotted line 22 'in FIG. 4, from the upper edge 39 of the side walls 23 and 24. This allows the plug part Although they are also inserted obliquely to a certain depth, they do not endanger the connector pins 22.
