Anschlusshalter zum Anschluss einer Abschirmung von zumindest einer  Terminal holder for connecting a shield of at least one
Koaxialleitung  coaxial
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Anschlusshalter zum Anschluss einer Abschirmung von zumindest einer Koaxialleitung, insbesondere für den Einsatz in einem Kraftfahrzeug. The invention relates to a connection holder for connecting a shield of at least one coaxial line, in particular for use in a motor vehicle.
Koaxialleitungen weisen allgemein einen zentralen Leiter auf, welcher von einem Dielektrikum als Zwischenisolierung und anschließend von einem als Abschirmung ausgebildeten Außenleiter umgeben ist. Die Abschirmung ist hierbei als ein um das Dielektrikum gewickelte Folie, Geflecht oder dergleichen ausgebildet und selbst wiederum von einer Isolierung der Koaxialleitung umgeben. Die Abschirmung wird im eingebauten Zustand regelmäßig mit einem Massepotential verbunden. Der Anschlussschalter dient insofern daher zum Masseanschluss. Coaxial cables generally have a central conductor which is surrounded by a dielectric as intermediate insulation and subsequently by an outer conductor designed as a shielding. The shield is in this case formed as a wound around the dielectric film, braid or the like and in turn surrounded by an insulation of the coaxial line. The shield is regularly connected to a ground potential when installed. The connection switch therefore serves as a ground connection.
Die Koaxialleitungen dienen als Datenleitungen und beispielsweise zum Anschluss von Antennen. In modernen Kraftfahrzeugen werden mittlerweile eine Vielzahl von Antennen, beispielsweise bis zu 15 Antennen eingebaut, die jeweils über eine eigene Koaxialleitung mit zugeordneten Steuereinheiten verbunden sind. The coaxial cables serve as data lines and, for example, for connecting antennas. In modern motor vehicles are now a variety of antennas, for example, up to 15 antennas installed, which are each connected via a separate coaxial with associated control units.
Zur Kontaktierung der Abschirmung mit Massepotential wird für jeden einzelnen Koaxialleiter üblicherweise eine metallische Klemmschelle eingesetzt, die nach Abisolierung auf die Abschirmung klemmend aufgesetzt und beispielsweise an einem metallischen Träger, welcher mit dem Massepotential verbunden ist, befestigt. For contacting the shield with ground potential, a metallic clamp is usually used for each coaxial, which is clamped after stripping on the shield and attached, for example, to a metallic support which is connected to the ground potential.
Bei einer derartigen Masseanbindung hat sich jedoch das Problem gezeigt, dass durch die Kanten der Klemmschellen die Abschirmung durchtrennt wird und somit ein nur ungenügender Masseanschluss ausgebildet wird, so dass es zu einem Funktionsausfall kommen kann. Dieses Problem wird insbesondere durch die im Betrieb eines Kraftfahrzeugs auftretende Vibrationen verschärft, so dass mit zunehmender Betriebsdauer ein nicht unerheblicher Teil der über die an die Koaxialleitungen angeschlossene Antennen funktionsunfähig wird. In such a ground connection, however, the problem has been shown that the shield is cut through the edges of the clamps and thus an insufficient ground connection is formed so that it may cause a malfunction. This problem is especially caused by the im Operating vibration of a motor vehicle occurs, so that with increasing operating time a significant part of the connected via the coaxial antennas is rendered inoperative.
Aufgrund dieser Probleme ist bei der Montage höchste Sorgfalt erforderlich, was letztendlich zu einem hohen Aufwand führt. Due to these problems, the highest care is required during assembly, which ultimately leads to a high cost.
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine dauerhaft zuverlässige Massekontaktierung der Abschirmung eines Koaxialleiters insbesondere in einem Kraftfahrzeug bei einfacher Montage zu gewährleisten. Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to ensure a permanently reliable grounding of the shielding of a coaxial conductor in particular in a motor vehicle with simple installation.
Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung gelöst durch einen Anschlusshalter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen niedergelegt. The object is achieved according to the invention by a connection holder with the features of claim 1. Preferred developments are laid down in the dependent claims.
Der Anschlusshalter dient zum Masseanschluss von zumindest einer Koaxialleitung, also zur Kontaktierung der Abschirmung der Koaxialleitung und leitenden Verbindung der Abschirmung mit einem Massepotential. Der Anschlusshalter um- fasst hierbei ein (Isolier-)Gehäuse insbesondere aus Kunststoff zur Aufnahme der zumindest einen Koaxialleitung, wobei im Gehäuse ein bevorzugt als metallische Platte oder metallischer Blechstreifen ausgebildeter Massekontaktstreifen angeordnet ist, gegen den die in einem Kontaktierungsbereich abisolierte Koaxialleitung im montierten Zustand klemmend aufgelegt ist. The connection holder is used for ground connection of at least one coaxial line, so for contacting the shield of the coaxial line and conductive connection of the shield to a ground potential. In this case, the connection holder comprises an (insulating) housing, in particular made of plastic, for accommodating the at least one coaxial line, wherein a ground contact strip, preferably designed as a metallic plate or metallic sheet metal strip, is arranged in the housing, against which the coaxial line stripped in a contacting region clamps in the mounted state is up.
Im Unterschied zu den bisherigen Masseanschlusssystemen mit Klemmschellen wird daher der abisolierte Kontaktierungsbereich und damit die Abschirmung lediglich gegen den Massekontaktstreifen gepresst, so dass eine elektrische Kontaktierung erfolgt. Durch die Anordnung der bevorzugt flachen Platte des Massekontaktstreifens besteht daher keine Gefahr eines Einschneidens und Durchtren- nens der Abschirmung. Bei der Montage wird vorzugsweise einfach derart vorgegangen, dass der Koaxialleiter mit dem abisolierten Kontaktbereich in das geöffnete Gehäuse eingelegt und auf den Massekontaktstreifen aufgelegt wird. An- schließend wird das Gehäuse geschlossen, wodurch der Koaxialleiter geklemmt wird. Dadurch ist auch die Montage vereinfacht. In contrast to the previous ground connection systems with clamps therefore the stripped contact area and thus the shield is pressed only against the ground contact strip, so that an electrical contact takes place. Due to the arrangement of the preferably flat plate of the ground contact strip there is therefore no danger of cutting and cutting through the shielding. During assembly, it is preferable to simply proceed in such a way that the coaxial conductor with the stripped contact region is inserted into the opened housing and placed on the ground contact strip. At- closing the housing is closed, whereby the coaxial conductor is clamped. As a result, the assembly is simplified.
Vorzugsweise wird die zumindest eine Koaxialleitung durch das Gehäuse hindurchgeführt, dieses weist daher sowohl eine Eintritts- als auch eine Austrittsöffnung für eine jeweilige Koaxialleitung auf. Im Anschlussschalter selbst erfolgt daher insbesondere keine Kontaktierung des Innenleiters. Dieser wird von der Zwischenisolierung umgeben unterbrechungsfrei und insbesondere geradlinig durch das Gehäuse hindurchgeführt. Preferably, the at least one coaxial line is passed through the housing, this therefore has both an inlet and an outlet opening for a respective coaxial line. Therefore, in particular no contacting of the inner conductor takes place in the connection switch itself. This is surrounded by the intermediate insulation without interruption and in particular passed straight through the housing.
Der Anschlusshalter ist dabei zweckdienlicherweise für die Aufnahme einer Mehrzahl von Koaxialleitungen ausgebildet, so dass parallel eine Mehrzahl von einzelnen Koaxialleitungen kontaktiert werden kann. The connection holder is expediently designed for receiving a plurality of coaxial lines, so that a plurality of individual coaxial lines can be contacted in parallel.
Der Massekontaktstreifen ist dabei vorzugsweise lediglich als ein einfaches, insbesondere plattenförmiges Einlegeteil ausgebildet. Seine zu den Koaxialleitungen gerichtete obere Fläche ist wahlweise flach oder auch mit einer strukturierten Oberfläche, beispielsweise eine geriffelte Struktur versehen. Auch kann die Oberfläche mit Rillen zum einzelweisen Einlegen der Koaxialleiter versehen sein. The ground contact strip is preferably formed only as a simple, in particular plate-shaped insert. Its directed to the coaxial lines upper surface is either flat or provided with a textured surface, such as a corrugated structure. Also, the surface may be provided with grooves for individually inserting the coaxial conductor.
Zur Führung der Koaxialleitungen sind am Gehäuse zweckdienlicherweise insbesondere schalenartige Führungen für die einzelweise Führung einer jeden Koaxialleitung vorgesehen. Die Koaxialleitungen lassen sich dadurch einfach in die Führungen einlegen. To guide the coaxial lines are expediently provided on the housing in particular cup-like guides for the individual way of each coaxial line. The coaxial cables can be easily inserted into the guides.
Das Gehäuse selbst ist vorzugsweise aus zwei Gehäuseteilen ausgebildet und weist eine Unterschale sowie einen Deckel auf, zwischen denen die Koaxialleitungen eingeklemmt sind. Zweckdienlicherweise weist jedes der Gehäuseteile halb- schalenförmige Führungen auf, die sich jeweils komplementär zu einer Führung ergänzen. Zur Ausübung der Klemmkraft sind die beiden Gehäuseteile aneinander befestigt. Hierzu sind geeignete Befestigungselemente, wie beispielsweise Schrauben, vorgesehen. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch insbesondere an den gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten Rastelemente angeordnet. Der Massekontaktstreifen liegt vorzugsweise in der Unterschale im Wesentlichen lose ein und erstreckt sich in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses. Quer zur Längsrichtung werden die Koaxialleitungen in Querrichtung durchgeführt. Der Massekontaktstreifen erstreckt sich dabei vorzugsweise nahezu über die gesamte Länge des Gehäuses und weist eine Breite in Querrichtung von beispielsweise 1 bis 3 cm auf und hat eine Dicke beispielsweise von etwa 1 bis 2 mm. Der Massekontaktstreifen ist seitlich jeweils von einem an der Unterschale angeformten The housing itself is preferably formed from two housing parts and has a lower shell and a lid, between which the coaxial cables are clamped. Conveniently, each of the housing parts on half-shell-shaped guides, which complement each other complementary to a guide. To exert the clamping force, the two housing parts are fastened together. For this purpose, suitable fasteners, such as screws, are provided. Preferably, however, locking elements are arranged in particular on the opposite end faces. The ground contact strip is preferably in the lower shell substantially loose and extends in the longitudinal direction of the housing. Transverse to the longitudinal direction, the coaxial cables are transversal. The ground contact strip preferably extends almost over the entire length of the housing and has a width in the transverse direction of, for example, 1 to 3 cm and has a thickness, for example, of about 1 to 2 mm. The ground contact strip is laterally formed in each case by a on the lower shell
Randsteg begrenzt, wobei in diesen Randstegen vorzugsweise jeweils die halb- schalenartigen Führungen ausgebildet sind. Edge web limited, wherein in these edge webs preferably each half-shell-like guides are formed.
Zur klemmenden Befestigung des abisolierten Kontaktierungsbereichs sind im Deckel einer jeweiligen Koaxialleitung zugeordnet Klemmelemente zum Anpressen des abisolierten Kontaktierungsbereichs ausgebildet. Diese sind vorzugsweise als an den Deckel angeformte Klemmleisten ausgebildet, die sich in Querrichtung erstrecken und vorzugsweise eine an die Breite des Massekontaktstreifens angepasste Länge aufweisen. For clamping attachment of the stripped contacting area, clamping elements for pressing the stripped contacting area are formed in the lid of a respective coaxial line. These are preferably formed as formed on the cover terminal strips extending in the transverse direction and preferably have a matched to the width of the ground contact strip length.
Zur weitergehenden Fixierung der jeweiligen Koaxialleitung sind weiterhin in einem der beiden Gehäuseteile, vorzugsweise im Deckel, insbesondere in den halbschalenartigen Führungen Fixierpins angeordnet, die eine erhöhte lokale Klemmkraft ausüben. Insbesondere sind sie verjüngend oder spitz zulaufend ausgebildet, so dass sie zumindest teilweise in die Isolierung der Koaxialleitung eindringen und somit auch einen Formschluss herstellen. For further fixing of the respective coaxial line fixing pins are further arranged in one of the two housing parts, preferably in the lid, in particular in the half-shell-like guides, which exert an increased local clamping force. In particular, they are tapered or tapered so that they at least partially penetrate into the insulation of the coaxial line and thus also produce a positive connection.
Zur Kontaktierung mit einem Massepotential wird allgemein der Massekontaktstreifen über eine elektrische Kontaktverbindung mit dem Massepotential verbunden. Grundsätzlich besteht hierzu die Möglichkeit, eine Masseleitung an den Massekontaktstreifen beispielsweise über eine Schraubbefestigung anzuschließen und diese Masseleitung zu einem Massepotential zu führen, beispielsweise zu einem Trägerbauteil der Kraftfahrzeug-Karosserie, durch welches ein Massepotential ausgebildet ist. Für eine einfache Montage ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante jedoch vorgesehen, dass die Massekontaktierung des Massekontaktstreifens mit dem Massepotential nicht über eine separate Masseleitung erfolgt, sondern vielmehr unmittelbar bei der Befestigung des Anschlusshalters an einem solchen (Träger-)Bauteil ausgebildet wird. For contacting with a ground potential, the ground contact strip is generally connected to the ground potential via an electrical contact connection. Basically, there is the possibility to connect a ground line to the ground contact strip, for example via a screw fastening and to lead this ground line to a ground potential, for example, to a support member of the motor vehicle body, through which a ground potential is formed. For a simple assembly, however, according to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the ground contact of the ground contact strip with the ground potential does not take place via a separate ground line, but rather is formed directly on the attachment of the terminal holder to such a (carrier) component.
Hierzu ist gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsvariante vorgesehen, dass ein elektrisch leitfähiges Befestigungselement durch das Gehäuse hindurchgeführt wird und dabei den Massekontaktstreifen kontaktiert und gleichzeitig mit seinem Fußbereich den elektrischen Kontakt mit dem Trägerbauteil herstellt. For this purpose, it is provided according to a first embodiment, that an electrically conductive fastener is passed through the housing and thereby contacted the ground contact strip and at the same time makes electrical contact with the support member with its foot.
Zweckdienlicherweise ist das Befestigungsteil hierbei als eine Schraube ausgebildet, die durch eine Durchgangsöffnung in dem Deckel hindurchgeführt wird, so dass sie mit ihrem Schraubenkopf unmittelbar auf dem Massekontaktstreifen aufliegt, wobei der Schaftbereich der Schraube durch eine Durchgangsöffnung des Massekontaktstreifens und weiter durch eine Durchgangsöffnung der Unterschale hindurchgeführt und in das Trägerbauteil eingeschraubt ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsvariante wird die vom Gehäuse auf die Koaxialleitung ausgeübte Klemmkraft daher vorzugsweise ausschließlich durch die Verbindung der beiden Gehäuseteile, insbesondere ausschließlich über die Rastverbindungen ausgeübt. Conveniently, the fastening part is in this case designed as a screw, which is passed through a passage opening in the lid, so that it rests with its screw head directly on the ground contact strip, wherein the shaft portion of the screw passed through a through hole of the ground contact strip and further through a through hole of the lower shell and is screwed into the carrier component. In this embodiment, the force exerted by the housing on the coaxial line clamping force is therefore preferably exerted exclusively by the connection of the two housing parts, in particular exclusively via the latching connections.
Zur Befestigung weist der Massekontaktstreifen allgemein die Druchgangsöffnung für ein Befestigungselement, insbesondere die Schraube auf. Vorzugsweise sind beidseitig der Durchgangsöffnung die Führungen für die Koaxialleitungen symmetrisch ausgebildet. For attachment, the ground contact strip generally has the Druchgangsöffnung for a fastener, in particular the screw. Preferably, the guides for the coaxial lines are formed symmetrically on both sides of the passage opening.
Zur Fixierung und auch zur Zentrierung ist in bevorzugter Weiterbildung am Gehäuse ein Ringsteg ausgebildet, insbesondere an der Unterschale ausgeformt, der in die Durchgangsöffnung des Massekontaktstreifens passgenau eingreift. For fixing and for centering a ring land is formed in a preferred development on the housing, in particular formed on the lower shell, which engages accurately in the passage opening of the ground contact strip.
Gemäß einer modifizierten Ausführungsvariante weist der Massekontaktstreifen an seiner Unterseite einen Kontaktansatz auf, der durch die Unterschale hindurchgeführt ist, derart, dass der Kontaktansatz unmittelbar am Träger anliegt. Dadurch wird also die Massekontaktierung mit dem Träger über den Massekontaktstreifen und nicht oder nicht nur über das Befestigungselement ausgebildet. Bei dieser Ausführungsvariante ist es ermöglicht und vorgesehen, dass das Befestigungsmittel sich am Deckel und nicht zwingend am Massekontaktstreifen abstützt und dadurch eine zusätzliche oder die einzige Klemmkraft zur klemmenden Befestigung der Koaxialleitungen ausübt. According to a modified embodiment variant, the ground contact strip on its underside on a contact projection, which is passed through the lower shell, such that the contact shoulder rests directly on the carrier. As a result, the ground contact with the carrier is formed via the ground contact strip and not or not only via the fastening element. In this embodiment, it is possible and provided that the fastening means is supported on the cover and not necessarily on the ground contact strip and thereby exerts an additional or the only clamping force for clamping attachment of the coaxial cables.
In beiden Varianten sind vorzugsweise Dämpfungselemente zur Schwingungsentkopplung zwischen dem Kfz-Trägerbauteil (Rohbauteil) und dem Gehäuse vorgesehen. Dies sind beispielsweise insbesondere elastische Beilagscheiben. In both variants, damping elements are preferably provided for vibration decoupling between the vehicle carrier component (shell component) and the housing. These are, for example, in particular elastic washers.
Für eine einfache Montage weist das Gehäuse insbesondere an seiner Unterseite zudem zusätzliche Fixierelemente zur Fixierung am Träger an einer definierten Position auf. Diese sind beispielsweise als angeformte Stege ausgebildet. For simple assembly, the housing also has, in particular on its underside, additional fixing elements for fixing to the carrier at a defined position. These are for example formed as molded webs.
Zweckdienlicherweise ist der Anschlusshalter vor der eigentlichen Montage bereits mit der gewünschten Anzahl an Koaxialleitungen bestückt und bildet somit eine vorkonfektionierte Baueinheit, die als solche beispielsweise an einer Produktionsstraße bei der Herstellung eines Kraftfahrzeuges bereitgestellt wird. Die Montageeinheit wird hierbei an einer entfernten Produktionsstätte, beispielsweise eines Zulieferers, vorkonfektioniert. In der montierten Endstellung ist der Anschlusshalter an einem Trägerbauteil insbesondere in einem Kraftfahrzeug befestigt und der Massekontaktstreifen mit diesem elektrisch leitend zum Masseanschluss verbunden. Vorzugsweise mehrere Koaxialleitungen liegen im Anschlusshalter ein und sind von einem ersten Ende, das beispielsweise an einer Antenne angeschlossen ist, zu einem zweiten Ende, das an einer Steuereinheit angeschlossen ist, geführt. Conveniently, the terminal holder is already equipped with the desired number of coaxial cables before the actual assembly and thus forms a prefabricated unit, which is provided as such, for example, on a production line in the manufacture of a motor vehicle. The assembly unit is in this case prefabricated at a remote production facility, for example a supplier. In the assembled end position, the connection holder is fastened to a carrier component, in particular in a motor vehicle, and the ground contact strip is connected to the ground connection in an electrically conductive manner. Preferably, a plurality of coaxial lines are in the terminal holder and are from a first end, which is connected for example to an antenna, to a second end, which is connected to a control unit out.

Der in den Figuren dargestellte Anschlusshalter weist ein Isoliergehäuse 2 bestehend aus einer Unterschale 2A und einer Oberschale oder Deckel 2B auf. Durch das Gehäuse 2 sind mehrere Koaxialleitungen 4 durchgeführt, wobei diese etwa in der Gehäusemitte einen abisolierten Kontaktierungsbereich 6 aufweisen, in dem der als Abschirmung 7 dienende Außenleiter der jeweiligen Koaxialleitung 4 freigelegt ist. The connection holder shown in the figures has an insulating housing 2 consisting of a lower shell 2A and an upper shell or cover 2B. Through the housing 2, a plurality of coaxial cables 4 are performed, which have approximately in the middle of the housing a stripped contact area 6, in which serving as a shield 7 outer conductor of the respective coaxial line 4 is exposed.
Beidseitig des abisolierten Kontaktierungsbereichs 6 wird die Koaxialleitung 4 unversehrt weitergeführt, weist also dort beim Eintritt als auch Austritt aus dem Gehäuse die übliche Außenisolierung 8 auf. On both sides of the stripped contacting area 6, the coaxial line 4 is continued intact, thus has the usual outer insulation 8 there at the entrance and exit from the housing.
Innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 ist ein insbesondere als Metallblechstreifen ausgebildeter Massekontaktstreifen 10 eingelegt, auf den die einzelnen Koaxialleitungen 4 mit ihrem abisolierten Kontaktierungsbereich 6 aufgelegt sind. Sie werden mit ihrem Kontaktierungsbereich 6 gegen den Massekontaktstreifen 10 gepresst bzw. geklemmt, sobald das Gehäuse 2 geschlossen wird. Hierzu weist das Gehäuse eine Rastlasche 12 sowie eine Rastnase 14 auf, über die eine gewisse Anpresskraft ausgeübt wird. Zur einzelweisen Führung der Koaxialleitungen 4 sind in den beiden Gehäuseteilen 2A, 2B halbschalenartige Führungen 16A, 16B ausgebildet, die sich bei geschlossenem Gehäuse 2 zu einer Führung mit kreisrundem Querschnitt ergänzen. In der Unterschale 2A sind randseitig zum Massekontaktstreifen Randstege 18 ausgebildet, in denen der Massekontaktstreifen 10 geführt und gehalten ist. In diesem Randsteg 18 sind die halbschaligen Führungen 16A eingearbeitet. Um eine ausreichend hohe Klemmkraft auszuüben, sind im Deckel 2B im mittleren Bereich der halbschaligen Führungen 16B Klemmelemente 20 als angeformte Leisten ausgebildet. Diese pressen den Kontaktierungsbereich 6 der Koaxialleitungen 4 gegen den Massekontaktstreifen 10. Zwischen zwei benachbarten halb- schalenartigen Führungen 16B sind im Deckel 2B dabei jeweils Trennstege 22 ausgebildet. Within the housing 2 a trained in particular as a sheet metal strip ground contact strip 10 is inserted, on which the individual coaxial cables 4 are placed with their stripped contact area 6. They are pressed or clamped with their contacting area 6 against the ground contact strip 10 as soon as the housing 2 is closed. For this purpose, the housing has a latching tab 12 and a latching lug 14, via which a certain contact force is exerted. For individual guidance of the coaxial cables 4, half-shell-like guides 16A, 16B are formed in the two housing parts 2A, 2B, which complement each other with the housing 2 closed to form a guide with a circular cross-section. In the lower shell 2A edge webs 18 are formed on the edge side to the ground contact strip, in which the ground contact strip 10 is guided and held. In this edge web 18, the half-shell guides 16A are incorporated. In order to exert a sufficiently high clamping force, clamping elements 20 are formed as integrally molded strips in the cover 2B in the middle region of the half-shelled guides 16B. These press the contacting region 6 of the coaxial lines 4 against the ground contact strip 10. Separate webs 22 are respectively formed in the cover 2B between two adjacent half-shell-like guides 16B.
In den halbschalenartigen Führungen 16B insbesondere im Deckel, gegebenenfalls aber auch in der Unterschale 2A sind Fixierpins 24 ausgebildet, die in die Isolierung 8 eindrücken. Zur Durchführung der Koaxialleitungen 4 durch das Gehäuse 2 weist dieses im geschlossenen Zustand Eintritts- sowie Austrittsöffnungen 26A, 26B an gegenüberliegenden Querseiten (Seitenwände) des Gehäuses 2 auf. Die Koaxialleitungen 4 erstrecken sich daher durch das Gehäuse 2 in einer Querrichtung senkrecht zur durch den Massekontaktstreifen 10 definierten Längsrichtung. In the half-shell-like guides 16 B in particular in the lid, but possibly also in the lower shell 2 A fixing pins 24 are formed, which press into the insulation 8. To carry out the coaxial lines 4 through the housing 2, this has in the closed state inlet and outlet openings 26 A, 26 B on opposite transverse sides (side walls) of the housing 2. The coaxial cables 4 therefore extend through the housing 2 in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction defined by the ground contact strip 10.
Zur Zentrierung des Massekontaktstreifens 10 ist an der Unterschale 2A ein Ringsteg 32 ausgeformt, der in die Durchgangsöffnung 30 des Massekontaktstreifens 10 eindringt, allerdings ohne über den Massekontaktstreifen 10 überzustehen. For centering the ground contact strip 10, an annular web 32 is formed on the lower shell 2A, which penetrates into the through hole 30 of the ground contact strip 10, but without over the ground contact strip 10.
Die beiden Gehäuseschalen 2A, 2B sind unverlierbar über nach Art von Filmscharnieren ausgebildete Scharnierelemente 34 miteinander verbunden. Weiterhin sind an der Unterseite der Unterschale 2A Fixier- oder Halteelemente 36 nach Art von Stegen angeformt, die zur Montagefixierung und Positionierung des Gehäuses 2 an dem bereits erwähnten Träger dienen. Hierzu sind beispielsweise an diesem Träger korrespondierende Aufnahmen abgebildet. The two housing shells 2A, 2B are captively connected to one another via hinge elements 34 formed in the manner of film hinges. Furthermore, on the underside of the lower shell 2A fixing or holding elements 36 are integrally formed in the manner of webs, which serve for mounting fixation and positioning of the housing 2 to the already mentioned carrier. For this purpose, for example corresponding images are shown on this carrier.
Die Befestigung des Anschlusshalters erfolgt über ein vorzugsweise als Schraube 38 (vgl. Fig. 5) ausgebildetes Befestigungselement derart, dass der Massekontaktstreifen 10 elektrisch leitend mit einem Trägerbauteil 40 (Fig. 5) als Massean- schluss, insbesondere ein Karosseriebauteil verbunden ist. Die Befestigungs- schraube ist von oben durch das gesamte Gehäuse 2 und durch den Massekontaktstreifen 10 hindurch geführt. Hierzu ist in der Unterschale 2A eine erste Durchgangsöffnung 28A und im Deckel 2B eine zweite Durchgangsöffnung 28B ausgebildet. The attachment of the terminal holder via a preferably designed as a screw 38 (see Fig. 5) fastener such that the ground contact strip 10 is electrically connected to a support member 40 (Fig. 5) as a ground terminal, in particular a body component is connected. The fastening screw is guided from above through the entire housing 2 and through the ground contact strip 10 therethrough. For this purpose, a first passage opening 28A is formed in the lower shell 2A and a second passage opening 28B is formed in the cover 2B.
Die erste Durchgangsöffnung 28A weist im Vergleich zu der zweiten Durchgangsöffnung 28B insbesondere gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsvariante einen vergrößerten Durchmesser auf, so dass der Schraubenkopf 42 durch die zweite Durchgangsöffnung 28B im Deckel 2B hindurch geführt werden kann. Eine im Massekontaktstreifen 10 ebenfalls ausgebildete Durchgangsöffnung 30 weist demgegenüber einen verringerten Durchmesser auf. Diese Situation ist insbesondere in der Fig. 3 dargestellt. Durch diese Maßnahme kommt daher die Befestigungsschraube 38 mit ihrem Schraubenkopf 42 zum Aufliegen auf dem Massekontaktstreifen 10 und kontaktiert diesen daher elektrisch. Über die Befestigung an dem Trägerbauteil 40 erfolgt dann schließlich die elektrische Kontaktverbindung (Masseanschluss) über die Befestigungsschraube 38. The first through-opening 28A has an enlarged diameter compared to the second through-opening 28B, in particular according to a first embodiment variant, so that the screw head 42 can be guided through the second through-opening 28B in the cover 2B. A passage opening 30 likewise formed in the ground contact strip 10, by contrast, has a reduced diameter. This situation is shown in particular in FIG. 3. By this measure, therefore, the fastening screw 38 comes with its screw head 42 to rest on the ground contact strip 10 and therefore contacted this electrically. About the attachment to the support member 40 then finally the electrical contact connection (ground connection) via the fastening screw 38th
Gemäß einer alternativen, in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausführungsvariante erfolgt die elektrische Kontaktierung zwischen dem Massekontaktstreifen 10 und dem Trägerbauteil 40 über einen Kontaktansatz 44, welcher auf der einen Seite mit dem Massekontaktstreifen 10 elektrisch leitend verbunden ist und insbesondere ein einstückiges, angeformtes Teil desselben ist. Andererseits liegt der Kontaktansatz 44 auf dem Trägerbauteil 40 auf und kontaktiert diesen elektrisch. According to an alternative, shown in Fig. 5 embodiment variant, the electrical contact between the ground contact strip 10 and the support member 40 via a contact projection 44, which is electrically conductively connected on one side with the ground contact strip 10 and in particular a one-piece, molded part is the same. On the other hand, the contact projection 44 rests on the carrier component 40 and contacts it electrically.
Die Befestigung des Gehäuses 2 erfolgt wiederum über die Schraube 38. Anders als bei der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsvariante kontaktiert diese jedoch mit ihrem Schraubenkopf 42 nicht den Massekontaktstreifen 10, sondern liegt vielmehr in einer Ausnehmung des Deckels 2A ein. Hierdurch wird daher eine The attachment of the housing 2 is again via the screw 38. Unlike the embodiment described above, this contacted with its screw head 42 is not the ground contact strip 10, but rather lies in a recess of the cover 2A a. This will therefore be a
Klemm- und Anpresskraft auf den Deckel 2A über die Schraube 38 ausgeübt. Der Kontaktansatz 44 ist dabei vorzugsweise als ein umgebogener Steg, insbesondere Ringsteg ausgebildet, durch den zentral die Schraube 38 geführt ist. Bezugszeichenliste Clamping and pressing force on the cover 2A exerted on the screw 38. The contact projection 44 is preferably formed as a bent web, in particular annular web, through which the screw 38 is guided centrally. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
