Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable connector, in particular for Pole connections or cell connector cables, with a clamping lug Attachment of the cable connector to a screw electrical conductor, the clamping lug a covering made of elastic Has insulating material.
  • Such a cable connector is from German utility model 295 10 817.7 known. With this generic cable connector, it will Insulating material poured around the screw so that the screw is firmly in place Insulation material sits. Screw and insulation form an inseparable Unit connected to the electrical conductor, such as a pole connection can be screwed on.
  • the invention has for its object a cable connector manufacture, which ensures good insulation and a simple Screwing in the screw allowed.
  • This object is achieved in that the wrapping on the electrical conductor opposite side of the terminal lug an opening for inserting the screw.
  • the cable connector according to the invention allows easy insertion of the Screw through the opening provided in the casing. While the Wrapping provides adequate insulation, the screw is easily in insert the clamp flag and use conventional screwdrivers tighten.
  • the sheath has a tab insulation and a Has cap, wherein the cap can be positioned over the opening.
  • This cap insulates the screw head and closes it the opening so that liquid entering the area of the opening cannot penetrate the opening, but is derived from the cap becomes.
  • One embodiment of the invention provides that the cap and the Clamp tab insulation can be connected to one another by means of a latching device are. This locking device allows the cap simply on the Press on the tab insulation, the cap when reaching the snaps into the correct position and sticks.
  • cap and the tab insulation via a flexible connector connect with each other.
  • cap, tab insulation and connector can also be made in one piece.
  • the cap has an opening for inserting the tip of a test device. Such an opening is made so small that there is no penetration of liquid and on the other hand the tip of an electrical tester is insertable to without removing the cap the electrical condition of the electrical conductor on the screw check.
  • a preferred embodiment of the cap provides that it is a has protruding element that when putting the cap on the head of the screw.
  • This protruding element preferably engages the cavity of Allen screws and prevents Liquid penetration into this cavity.
  • that can protruding element with an appropriate design of the cap Prevent loosening of the screw.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the terminal lug insulation provides that the opening has a circumferential area with a maximum of the diameter of the Head of the screw.
  • This peripheral area lies at the head of the Screw on, and in the case of elastic or deformable material Envelope, the diameter of this peripheral region is made smaller than the diameter of the screw head, so that when inserting the Screw head in this circumferential area a firm system of insulation is achieved on the screw head.
  • the cable connector will fit well on the electrical conductor supported by the fact that the wrapping on the side of the electrical Conductor has a contact surface for contact with the electrical conductor. This contact surface is designed so that the insulation on the electrical conductor rests. This will prevent fluid or Dirt on the side of the electrical conductor to the terminal lug is prevented.
  • the insulating material is elastic. This allows one comfortable handling of the cable connector and enables easy Training of the locking device and the peripheral area between Screw head and tab insulation.
  • the cable connector 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is on a electrical conductor 2, which in the present case is the pole connection Traction battery is attached to a stationary battery.
  • the Cable connector 1 consists of a clamping lug 3, on which a copper cable 4 is attached.
  • This copper cable has an insulation 5 in the area the clamping lug 3 is surrounded by a covering 6 made of insulating material.
  • the envelope 6 surrounds the entire clamping lug with the exception of one Opening 7 on the opposite side of the electrical conductor 2 Clamping lug 3 and a recess 8 on the electrical side Head 2.
  • the opening 7 has such a large diameter that the head 10 one Screw 9 can be inserted into the opening, while the shaft 11 of the Screw 9 through a hole 12 in the clamping lug 3 in a Threaded bore 13 in the electrical conductor 2 leads.
  • the opening 7 has a peripheral region 14 in which the diameter of the opening 7 is smaller is than the diameter of the screw head 10. Since the insulating material of the Envelope 6 is deformable, however, the screw head 10 fits into the Opening 7 and there is a seal between the casing 6 and the screw head 10 in the peripheral region 14.
  • the recess 8 on the side facing the electrical conductor 2 Clamping lug 3 is formed in the envelope 6 so that the electrical Conductor 2 can protrude into the sheath to directly on the Clamp flag 3 to be applied.
  • On the side of the electrical conductor forms a annular edge of the sheathing 6 a contact surface 15 between Envelope 6 and conductor 2, which form a tight seal between Sheathing 6 and conductor 2 forms.
  • the sheath 6 consists of a tab insulation 16 and one Cap 17, which are connected to one another via a latching device 18.
  • This latching device 18 allows the cap 17 to be fixed over the opening 7 to position the opening 7 against dirt, acid and penetrating water is protected.
  • an annular protruding element 20 is arranged, which at Put the cap 17 into the hexagon socket of the head 10 of the screw 9 engages.
  • there is a test opening 21 in the cap 17 provided that is arranged so that the tip of a tester through the test opening 21 can be guided up to the head 10 of the screw 9.
  • the insulating material of the covering 6 is elastic, this deforms Insulating material in the peripheral area 14 and in the area of the contact surface 15, so that a sealing surface is created on both sides of the clamping lug 3.
  • cap 17 is thus over the tab insulation 16 turned that the opening 7 is sealed.
  • the cap 17 is by means of the locking device 18 held on the terminal lug insulation 16 and that protruding element 20 on the inside 19 of the cap 17 holds the Screw 9 to prevent unintentional loosening of screw 9.
