Abstract

Bei einem Steckverbinder mit Schneidklemmen, die in ihren jeweils zugeordneten Leiterendabschnitt beidseitig eingreifen und in Ausnehmungen des gegenüberliegenden Steckerteils eintauchen, weisen diese Ausnehmungen (11) des ersten Steckerteils (10) jeweils einen Einsatz auf, der gewährleistet, daß die beiden Schenkel (41,42) jeder Schneidklemme (40) geführt und gegen Verspreizen gesichert sind. Insbesondere kann dieser Einsatz als ringförmig geschlossenes oder topfförmiges Metallgehäuse (50) ausgebildet sein.With a connector with insulation displacement terminals, each in their engage the associated conductor end section on both sides and in recesses immerse the opposite connector part, they have Recesses (11) of the first plug part (10) each have an insert on, which ensures that the two legs (41,42) each Cutting clamp (40) are guided and secured against spreading. In particular, this insert can be closed or in the form of a ring cup-shaped metal housing (50).

Mit der Sicherung der beiden Schenkel der Schneidklemmen durch den Einsatz wird der Anwendungsbereich solcher Steckverbinder auch in solche Bereiche hin ausgedehnt, bei denen mechanische und thermische Beanspruchungen ohne ausreichende zusätzliche Vorkehrungen unter Umständen zu einem Nachlassen der Klemmwirkung und dadurch bedingten Funktionsausfällen des zugeordneten Leiters führen könnten.

Figure 00000001
With the securing of the two legs of the insulation displacement clamps through the use, the area of application of such plug connectors is also extended into areas in which mechanical and thermal stresses could, under certain circumstances, lead to a reduction in the clamping effect and the resulting functional failures of the assigned conductor without adequate precautions.
