Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector, in particular a coaxial high-frequency connector, as well as a connector formed from such a connector and a mating connector complementary thereto.
  • the contacting of at least the outer conductors of the two connectors takes place axially, ie frontal contact surfaces of the outer conductor abut each other in the assembled state of the connectors.
  • a relatively high contact pressure is required regularly. This is produced in many connectors by means of a union nut which is rotatably mounted on a housing often formed by the outer conductor of a connector and having an internal thread which can be screwed onto an external thread of a housing formed by the outer conductor of the other connector.
  • the two connectors By screwing on the union nut, the two connectors are moved in the direction of their longitudinal axes (this corresponds to the insertion direction) relative to each other and thereby generates the axial contact pressure.
  • the Union nut then provides for a permanent, but again releasable fixation of the connector in the assembled state of the high-frequency connector.
  • Such a high-frequency connector is known for example from DE 43 00 243 C1.
  • Screw connections in general are regularly secured against self-loosening due to seating.
  • security elements such as e.g. Clamping washers, fan washers and spring washers available.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved, fixed by means of a union nut connector, which is secured in particular even at relatively low torques against an automatic release of the nut.
  • a generic connector, in particular high-frequency connector, with (at least) a conductor and (at least) rotatably mounted on the head cap nut with thread, in particular internal thread, according to the invention is characterized in that the nut in the axial direction of the connector is resiliently mounted on the head.
  • the spring element is designed in the form of an annular bending spring, that is, the union nut is mounted on the conductor by means of (at least) one annular bending spring.
  • the annular bending spring can be formed as a corrugated ring, since comparatively large spring forces can be achieved by means of a corrugated ring, even with small dimensions.
  • other bending springs, in particular disc springs can be used, but must be formed relatively large volume compared to a corrugated ring at a given maximum spring force regularly, which could unfavorably increase the outer dimensions of the connector.
  • a particularly advantageous integration of the annular bending spring can provide that it is arranged on the inside in a groove of the conductor and / or on the outside in a groove of the union nut.
  • the connector according to the invention may preferably be formed as a coaxial connector, wherein the conductor surrounds an inner conductor as an outer conductor.
  • Coaxial connectors are suitable due to the shielding effect, which may have the outer conductor in relation to the signal-carrying inner conductor, advantageously for the preferably provided transmission of high-frequency signals.
  • a connector according to the invention comprises (at least) a connector according to the invention (at least) a mating connector, wherein the mating connector has a cooperating with the nut, in particular external thread.
  • Fig. 1 a connector according to the invention with not completely screwed nut in a perspective view
  • Fig. 2 the connector with hidden union nut
  • Fig. 3 the connector of Figure 1 in a longitudinal section.
  • Fig. 4 the corrugated spring of the connector in a first
  • Fig. 5 the corrugated spring in a second side view
  • Fig. 6 the corrugated spring in the deformed state in a side view.
  • a connector according to the invention comprises a connector according to the invention in the form of a plug 1 and a matching mating connector in the form of a coupler 2.
  • the plug 1 is for connection to another connector series (not shown) provided, thus represents an adapter
  • the coupler 2 is provided for connection to a housing (not shown), thus constituting a housing coupler.
  • Both connectors are designed as simple connectors and each comprise a conductor 3, 4.
  • the plug 1 comprises a union nut 5 with an internal thread.
  • the union nut 5 is rotatably mounted on the conductor 3 of the plug 1.
  • the union nut 5 comprises on its inside a circumferential groove 6, in which a bending spring in the form of a corrugated spring 7 engages on the outside.
  • the conductor 3 comprises on its outer side a circumferential groove 8, in which the corrugated ring spring 7 engages on the inside.
  • the grooves 6, 8 in this case have a groove width which is wider than the corrugated ring spring body in its (constant over the length formed) cross-section.
  • the groove width corresponds approximately to the total extent of the unloaded or only slightly prestressed corrugated ring spring 7 in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
  • the corrugated spring 7 By means of the corrugated spring 7, the rotatable and in the axial Direction secured, only a limited, spring-loaded movement permitting storage of the nut 5 on the head 3 of the plug 1 causes.
  • the corrugated spring 7 is shown in the unloaded state in Figs. 4 and 5 in two, mutually rotated by 90 ° about the longitudinal axis of the corrugated ring spring 7 side views. This is the curved or wavy course of the annular spring body of the corrugated ring spring 7 clearly visible.
  • the corrugated spring 7 is also in the connector, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, arranged.
  • the union nut 5 is already bolted to one of the head 4 of the coupler 2 at its plug-side end formed external thread, but not yet tightened with a scheduled operating torque.
  • the conductors 3, 4 of the two connectors already contact axially.
  • the union nut 5 is tightened with the intended operating torque, whereby it is moved with increasing deformation and thus bias of the corrugated ring spring 7 in the direction of the coupler.
  • the corrugated ring spring 7 is deformed in the (nearly) planar shape, as illustrated in FIG.
  • the induced by the deformation spring preload of the corrugated ring spring 7 presses the conductor 3 of the plug 1 axially against the conductor 4 of the coupler 2.
  • the spring stiffness of the corrugated spring 19 is selected so that by applying the operating torque provided a designated contact pressure in the axial contact surfaces of Head 3, 4 is reached.
  • the corrugated ring spring 7 is C-shaped and thus has a radial slot 9.
  • the corrugated ring spring 7 has a relatively high radial elasticity, the introduction into the groove 6 of the Union nut 5 and in the groove 8 of the conductor 3 of the connector 1 facilitates.
  • the connectors can also be designed as a coaxial connector in an embodiment not shown. It can be provided that the conductors 3, 4 are hollow and each receive an inner conductor which is electrically isolated from the associated (outer) conductor 3, 4 via a dielectric, in particular one or more insulating.
