Abstract

Ein Elektrischer Steckverbinder mit hermaphroditischen Kontaktelementen (100) mit folgenden Merkmalen:
- das elektrische Kontaktelement (100) eines ersten Steckverbinders ist gabelförmig zu einem zweiten elektrischen Kontaktelement (100) hin geöffnet,
- die Innenflächen der jeweils zwei Schenkel (110, 120) aufweisenden Gabeln umschließen - zumindest teilweise - einen Schenkel (120, 110) des jeweils zugehörigen anderen Kontaktelementes,
ist gekennzeichnet durch folgende Merkmale:
- einer der beiden Schenkel (110) weist eine konvex vorspringende Ausformung (111) auf,
- der andere der beiden Schenkel (120) weist eine konkave Ausnehmung (121) auf,
- die Gestalt der konkaven Ausnehmung (121) ist so an die konvex vorspringende Ausformung (111) angepasst, dass im verbundenen Zustand zweier Steckverbinder die konvex vorspringende Ausformung (111) des ersten Steckverbinders wenigstens teilweise formschlüssig an der konkaven Ausnehmung (121) des zweiten Steckverbinders anliegt und umgekehrt.

Figure imgaf001
An electrical connector with hermaphroditic contact elements (100) having the following features:
the electrical contact element (100) of a first connector is open in the form of a fork to form a second electrical contact element (100),
- The inner surfaces of each two legs (110, 120) having forks enclose - at least partially - a leg (120, 110) of the respectively associated other contact element,
is characterized by the following features:
- One of the two legs (110) has a convex projecting formation (111),
the other of the two legs (120) has a concave recess (121),
- The shape of the concave recess (121) is adapted to the convex projecting formation (111) that in the connected state of two connectors, the convex projecting formation (111) of the first connector at least partially positive fit to the concave recess (121) of the second connector is present and vice versa.
