Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Prüfkabel sowie einen Buchsenadapter für ein Prüfkabel, wobei der Buchsenadapter eine Steckerleiste mit an einem Grundkörper im Abstand voneinander angeordneten, einen Buchsenkontaktabschnitt und einen Platinenkontaktabschnitt aufweisende Kontaktstiften aufweist.The invention relates to a test cable and a socket adapter for a test cable, wherein the socket adapter has a connector strip arranged on a base body at a distance from each other, a female contact portion and a board contact portion having contact pins.

Um die Funktionsfähigkeit von elektrischen Steuergeräten zu testen, welche bspw. im Kraftfahrzeugbereich zur Motorsteuerung zum Einsatz kommen, ist es erforderlich, ein Prüfgerät an die Steuergeräte anzuschließen. Bei Kraftfahrzeugen werden im Werkstattbetrieb hierzu sogenannte Y-Kabel bzw. Prüfkabel verwendet, welche es ermöglichen, ein Steuergerät im laufenden Betrieb des Kraftfahrzeugs zu prüfen. Das Prüfkabel weist dabei zum Anschluss des Prüfgeräts an einen Steckeranschluss des Steuergeräts eine an den Steckeranschluss anschließbare standarisierte Buchse auf. Die Buchse ist über ein erstes Kabel mit einem Anschlusselement zum Anschluss an das Prüfgerät oder direkt mit dem Prüfgerät und mit einem zweiten Kabel mit einem Buchsenadapter verbunden, welcher dazu dient, die im regulären Betrieb an den Steckeranschluss des Steuergeräts angeschlossene Buchse aufzunehmen und somit mit dem Steuergerät zu verbinden. Das Prüfkabel ermöglicht somit den gleichzeitigen Anschluss des Prüfgeräts und der Buchse an den Steckeranschluss des Steuergeräts. Ein für ein Prüfkabel geeigneter Buchsenadapter ist bspw. aus der US 4,917,616 bekannt. Aus der US 6,869,321 B1 ist eine Steckerleiste mit einem aufgesteckten Stecker eines Flachkabels bekannt.In order to test the functionality of electrical control units, which are used, for example, in the motor vehicle area for motor control, it is necessary to connect a tester to the control units. In motor vehicles for this purpose so-called Y-cable or test cables are used, which make it possible to check a control unit during operation of the motor vehicle. The test cable has to connect the tester to a connector terminal of the controller on a connectable to the connector port standardized jack. The socket is connected via a first cable with a connection element for connection to the tester or directly to the tester and with a second cable to a socket adapter, which serves to receive the plugged into the connector of the controller in regular operation socket and thus with the Connect control unit. The test lead thus allows simultaneous connection of the tester and the socket to the connector of the control unit. A socket adapter suitable for a test cable is, for example, from US 4,917,616 known. From the US Pat. No. 6,869,321 B1 is a power strip with a plugged plug a flat cable known.

Die Steckeranschlüsse der Steuergeräte sind in der Regel durch eine mit einer Platine des Steuergeräts verlötete Steckerleiste gebildet. Platinenkontaktabschnitte der Kontaktstifte der Steckerleiste sind dabei mit entsprechenden Kontakten auf der Platine verlötet, so dass dann die Buchsenkontaktabschnitte der Kontaktstifte zum Anschluss an die Buchse bereit stehen.The plug connections of the control units are usually formed by a soldered to a circuit board of the control unit power strip. Board contact portions of the contact pins of the connector strip are soldered to corresponding contacts on the board, so that then the female contact portions of the pins are ready for connection to the socket.

Damit das Prüfkabel neben dem Anschluss des Prüfgeräts auch eine Verbindung mit der dem Platinenstecker des Steuergeräts zugeordneten Buchse erlaubt, ist es erforderlich, dass Prüfkabel mit einem Buchsenadapter zu versehen, welcher zum Anschluss der an den Platinenstecker angepassten Buchse ausgebildet ist. Die Verwendung eines Platinensteckers macht es jedoch erforderlich, jeden einzelnen Kontaktstift im Bereich des Platinenkontaktabschnitts mit einer Leitung zu verbinden, um so einen Buchsenadapter bereitzustellen, der zur Aufnahme der Buchse geeignet ist. Eine entsprechende Kontaktierung, durch Verlöten, ist jedoch besonders aufwendig und fehleranfällig. Alternativ besteht die Möglichkeit des Zukaufs vorgefertigter, industriell gefertigter Steckereinheiten, welche jedoch aufgrund des hohen Fertigungsaufwands hohe Kosten für das Prüfkabel zur Folge haben.Thus the test cable in addition to the connection of the tester also connect to the allowed the board connector of the controller associated socket, it is necessary to provide the test cable with a female adapter, which for connecting the the board connector adapted socket is formed. The use of a board connector, however, makes it necessary to connect each individual contact pin in the area of the board contact section to a line so as to provide a socket adapter which is suitable for receiving the socket. A corresponding contact, by soldering, however, is particularly complex and error-prone. Alternatively, there is the possibility of buying prefabricated, industrially manufactured connector units, which, however, result in high costs for the test cable due to the high production costs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Buchsenadapter bereitzustellen, der sich unter Verwendung von für Platinen vorgesehenen Steckerleisten kostengünstig herstellen lässt. Der Erfindung liegt ferner die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Prüfkabel bereitzustellen, das neben einem Anschluss für ein Prüfgerät auch einen Buchsenadapter zum Anschluss einer an den Steckeranschluss anschließbaren Buchse aufweist.The invention is based on the object to provide a female adapter that can be produced inexpensively using provided for boards power strips. The invention is further based on the object to provide a test cable, which in addition to a connection for a tester also has a female adapter for connecting a connectable to the connector socket.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch einen Buchsenadapter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Prüfkabel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Buchsenadapters sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 8 dargestellt.The invention solves the problem by a female adapter with the features of claim 1 and a test cable with the features of claim 9. Advantageous developments of the female adapter are shown in the claims 2 to 8.

Der erfindungsgemäße Buchsenadapter weist eine Steckerleiste mit mehreren im Abstand voneinander an einem Grundkörper angeordneten Kontaktstiften auf. Die Kontaktstifte der zur Verbindung mit einer Platine vorgesehenen Steckerleiste weisen dabei einen Platinenkontaktabschnitt sowie einen Buchsenkontaktabschnitt auf. Bei dem Platinenkontaktabschnitt der Kontaktstifte handelt es sich um den Abschnitt der Kontaktstifte, welcher ursprünglich zur Verbindung der Kontaktstifte mit der Platine vorgesehen ist. Der Buchsenkontaktabschnitt der Kontaktstifte hingegen dient zur Verbindung mit einer Buchse.The socket adapter according to the invention has a connector strip with a plurality of contact pins arranged at a distance from one another on a base body. The contact pins of the connector strip provided for connection to a printed circuit board have a board contact section and a socket contact section. The board contact portion of the contact pins is that portion of the contact pins which is originally intended to connect the contact pins to the board. The female contact portion of the contact pins, however, serves for connection to a socket.

Zur Bildung des erfindungsgemäßen Buchsenadapters ist eine Kontakthalteplatte mit dem Grundkörper der Steckerleiste verbunden. Die Kontakthalteplatte weist dabei einzelne Durchgangsöffnungen auf, in welchen die Platinenkontaktabschnitte der Kontaktstifte voneinander abgegrenzt angeordnet sind. Darüber hinaus sind die Durchgangsöffnungen jeweils auch zur ortsfesten Aufnahme eines an einem Leitungsende angeordneten Steckschuhs ausgebildet. Bspw. können die Durchgangsöffnungen so dimensioniert sein, dass die Steckschuhe kraftschlüssig in den Durchgangsöffnungen gehalten werden.To form the socket adapter according to the invention a contact holding plate is connected to the main body of the power strip. The contact-holding plate has individual passage openings in which the board contact portions of the contact pins are arranged delimited from each other. In addition, the passage openings are each also for stationary receiving one at a line end arranged plug-in shoe formed. For example. For example, the passage openings can be dimensioned such that the plug-in shoes are held in a non-positive manner in the passage openings.

Die Verwendung einer an die Platinenkontaktabschnitte angepassten Kontakthalteplatte erlaubt es, die Kontaktstifte im Bereich der Platinenkontaktabschnitte einzeln an einen Steckschuh anzuschließen, welcher jeweils mit einem Leitungsende eines Kabels verbunden ist. Die Durchgangsöffnungen separieren dabei nicht nur die Kontaktstifte im Bereich der Platinenkontaktabschnitte voneinander, sondern arretieren auch die Steckschuhe an den Kontaktstiften sowie an der Kontakthalteplatte.The use of a contact holding plate adapted to the board contact sections makes it possible to connect the contact pins in the area of the board contact sections individually to a plug-in shoe which is connected in each case to a line end of a cable. The through openings not only separate the contact pins in the area of the board contact sections from one another, but also lock the plug-in shoes on the contact pins and on the contact-holding plate.

Der erfindungsgemäße Buchsenadapter zeichnet sich somit dadurch aus, dass durch die Verwendung der Kontakthalteplatte eine üblicherweise nur zur Anwendung auf einer Platine vorgesehene Steckerleiste dazu genutzt werden kann, um kostengünstig eine Anschlussmöglichkeit für eine Buchse zu bilden. Die Kontakthalteplatte ermöglicht es dabei, die einzelnen mit Steckschuhen versehenen Leitungen voneinander isoliert zuverlässig mit den Kontaktstiften im Bereich der Platinenkontaktabschnitte der Steckerleiste zu verbinden. Auf eine aufwändige Verlötung der einzelnen Leitungsenden mit den einzelnen Kontaktstiften im Bereich der Platinenkontaktabschnitte sowie einer ebenfalls erforderlichen Isolierung der Kontakte kann durch die Verwendung der Kontakthalteplatte verzichtet werden.The socket adapter according to the invention is thus characterized by the fact that by using the contact-holding plate, a plug strip, which is usually provided only for use on a board, can be used to inexpensively form a connection possibility for a socket. The contact-holding plate makes it possible to reliably connect the individual lines provided with plug-in shoes to one another in a reliable manner with the contact pins in the area of the board-contact sections of the plug-in strip. In an expensive soldering of the individual line ends with the individual pins in the board contact portions and a likewise required insulation of the contacts can be dispensed with by the use of the contact plate.

Der erfindungsgemäße Buchsenadapter zeichnet sich somit dadurch aus, dass er besonders einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Darüber hinaus sind die einzelnen Kontakte besonders zuverlässig voneinander isoliert, so dass es nicht zu Störungen kommen kann.The socket adapter according to the invention is thus characterized by the fact that it is particularly simple and inexpensive to produce. In addition, the individual contacts are particularly reliable isolated from each other, so that it can not interfere.

Die zur Verbindung mit der Buchse vorgesehenen Buchsenkontaktabschnitte der Kontaktstifte der Steckerleiste sind nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung zumindest abschnittsweise innerhalb eines mit dem Grundkörper verbundenen Gehäuses zur Buchsenaufnahme angeordnet. Die Verwendung eines Gehäuses erhöht die Verbindungssicherheit zwischen der Buchse und den Buchsenkontaktabschnitten. Zudem sind die Buchsenkontaktabschnitte im mit einer Buchse verbundenen Zustand besonders zuverlässig vor äußeren Einflüssen geschützt. Die Verbindung des Gehäuses, welches besonders bevorzugt an die Form der Buchse angepasst ist, kann mit dem Grundkörper dabei grundsätzlich in beliebiger Weise erfolgen. So kann das Gehäuse mit dem Grundkörper verklebt oder verschraubt sein. Auch lässt sich das Gehäuse einstückig mit dem Grundkörper ausgestalten.The provided for connection to the socket socket contact portions of the contact pins of the connector strip are arranged according to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least in sections within a housing connected to the body for female receptacle. The use of a housing increases the connection security between the socket and the socket contact portions. In addition, the female contact portions are connected to a socket Condition particularly reliable protected against external influences. The connection of the housing, which is particularly preferably adapted to the shape of the socket, can in principle be carried out in any desired way with the base body. Thus, the housing may be glued or screwed to the base body. Also, the housing can be designed in one piece with the base body.

Der Ausgestaltung der Kontakthalteplatte ist an die zur Herstellung des Buchsenadapters vorgesehene Steckerleiste angepasst. Durch die voneinander abgegrenzten Durchgangsöffnungen der Kontakthalteplatte wird gewährleistet, dass die Kontaktstifte sowie die Steckschuhe im Bereich der Platinenkontaktabschnitte voneinander isoliert sind. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass an der Kontakthalteplatte ein Abstandshalter zur Beabstandung benachbarter Steckschuhe und/oder Leistungsendabschnitte angeordnet ist. Einer oder mehrere Abstandshalter, welche bevorzugt im Bereich zwischen den Durchgangsöffnungen angeordnet sind, erhöhen zwischen den mit den Kontaktstiften verbundenen Steckschuhe den Berührungsschutz der Steckschuhe und/oder der Leitungsenden untereinander und dienen darüber hinaus als Knickschutz. Die Anzahl, Anordnung und Ausgestaltung der Abstandshalter kann dabei in Abhängigkeit von der Position der Durchgangsöffnungen zueinander frei gewählt werden.The configuration of the contact holding plate is adapted to the intended for the preparation of the female adapter connector strip. The separated through openings of the contact-holding plate ensures that the contact pins and the plug-in shoes are insulated from each other in the area of the board contact sections. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a spacer for spacing adjacent plug-in shoes and / or power end sections is arranged on the contact-holding plate. One or more spacers, which are preferably arranged in the region between the through-openings, increase the contact protection of the plug-in shoes and / or the cable ends between the plug-in shoes connected to the contact pins and also serve as kink protection. The number, arrangement and configuration of the spacers can be chosen freely depending on the position of the passage openings to each other.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Abstandshalter durch einen sich zwischen den Durchgangsöffnungen erstreckenden Steg gebildet. Ein solcher Steg, der sich bevorzugt im wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Ebene der Durchgangsöffnungen erstreckt, gewährleistet eine besonders gute Lagesicherung der Steckschuhe und stellt einen besonders zuverlässigen Berührungsschutz dar, wobei der Steg in seiner Höhe senkrecht zur Ebene der Durchgangsöffnungen an die Länge der Steckschuhe angepasst sein kann.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spacer is formed by a web extending between the passage openings. Such a web, which preferably extends substantially perpendicular to the plane of the through holes, ensures a particularly good position assurance of the slip-on shoes and is a particularly reliable contact protection, the web be adapted in its height perpendicular to the plane of the through holes to the length of the patch shoes can.

Eine weiter verbesserte Lagesicherung der Steckschuhe und Leitungsenden, ein verbesserter Berührungsschutz der Steckschuhe und Leitungsenden untereinander sowie ein weiter verbesserter Knickschutz wird nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, dass die sich zwischen den Durchgangsöffnungen erstreckenden Stege voneinander beabstandet angeordnete Vorsprünge aufweisen. Die Vorsprünge sind dabei in ihrem Abstand bevorzugt an die Abstände der Durchgangsöffnungen angepasst, so dass die benachbart angeordneten Steckschuhe besonders zuverlässig voneinander isoliert lagegesichert sind. Die Vorsprünge können dabei zum freien Ende der Stege eine sich verjüngende Form aufweisen, wodurch die Montage der Steckschuhe erleichtert werden kann.A further improved position assurance of the plug-in shoes and cable ends, an improved contact protection of the plug-in shoes and cable ends with each other and a further improved kink protection is achieved according to a development of the invention characterized in that the webs extending between the through holes spaced from each other have arranged projections. The projections are in their distance preferably adapted to the distances of the passage openings, so that the adjacently arranged plug-in shoes are particularly reliable isolated from each other positionally secured. The projections may have a tapered shape to the free end of the webs, whereby the mounting of the patch shoes can be facilitated.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontakthalteplatte mit einer Verriegelungsplatte verbunden ist, wobei die Verriegelungsplatte zur formflüssigen Arretierung der an den Platinenkontaktabschnitten anordbaren Steckschuhen ausgebildet ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the contact-holding plate is connected to a locking plate, wherein the locking plate is designed for the form-liquid locking of the mating shoes which can be arranged on the board contact sections.

Einem Lösen der Steckschuhe von den Kontaktstiften wird durch diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besonders zuverlässig vorgebeugt. Zudem kann durch die Verriegelungsplatte, welche mit sämtlichen Steckschuhen in mechanische Wirkverbindung bringbar ist, auf die Verwendung einzelner Lagesicherung der Steckschuhe verzichtet werden.According to this embodiment of the invention, the locking plate connected to the contact support plate is formed such that the plug-in shoes against its mounting direction on the contact pins are positively fixed by the locking plate on the contact plate. A release of the shoes from the contact pins is prevented by this embodiment of the invention particularly reliable. In addition, can be dispensed with the use of individual position assurance of the patch shoes by the locking plate, which can be brought into mechanical operative connection with all of the mating shoes.

Die Ausgestaltung der Verriegelungsplatte zur formschlüssigen Arretierung der Steckschuhe ist dabei grundsätzlich frei wählbar. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass die Verriegelungsplatte eine derart an die Steckschuhe angepasste Längsnut aufweist, dass ein Randbereich der Längsnut die Steckschuhe überdeckt. Die Längsnut der Verriegelungsplatte ermöglicht grundsätzlich das Hindurchführen der mit den Steckschuhen verbundenen Leitungen. Gleichzeitig ist die Längsnut jedoch so schmal ausgestaltet, dass diese mit ihrem den Steckschuhen zugewandten umlaufenden Rand an den Steckschuhen oder an an den Steckschuhen angeordneten Rastvorsprüngen anliegt. In Verbindung mit einem oder mehreren gemäß vorstehender Weiterbildung vorgesehenen, als Abstandhalter ausgebildeten Stegen, die darüber hinaus mit Vorsprüngen ausgestaltet sind, kann ferner in Abhängigkeit von der Ausgestaltung der Vorsprünge eine Klemmung der Kabel zwischen den Stegen, den Vorsprüngen und der Längsnut erreicht werden, so dass durch die Verriegelungsplatte eine Zugentlastung bereit gestellt wird, wenn sich der oder die Stege der Kontakthalteplatte im montierten Zustand des Buchsenadapters durch die Längsnut der Verriegelungsplatte erstrecken.The design of the locking plate for the positive locking of the patch shoes is basically arbitrary. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the locking plate has a longitudinal groove adapted to the insertion shoes such that an edge region of the longitudinal groove covers the insertion shoes. The longitudinal groove of the locking plate basically allows the passage of the cables connected to the plug-in shoes. At the same time, however, the longitudinal groove is configured so narrow that it rests with its peripheral edge facing the plug-in shoes on the plug-in shoes or on latching projections arranged on the plug-in shoes. In conjunction with one or more provided in accordance with the above development, designed as spacers webs, which are also configured with projections, a clamping of the cable between the webs, the projections and the longitudinal groove can also be achieved depending on the configuration of the projections, so that through the locking plate a strain relief is provided when the or the webs of the contact plate in the assembled state of the female adapter extend through the longitudinal groove of the locking plate.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Verriegelungsplatte mindestens einen, bevorzugt zwei parallel zur Längsnut und beiderseits der Längsnut angeordnete Stege aufweist, die besonders bevorzugt im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Ebene der Längsnut, der Oberseite der Verriegelungsplatte, verlaufen. Die Stege dienen in ergänzender Weise als Berührungsschutz sowie zur Lagesicherung der Leitungsendabschnitte. Darüber hinaus bilden die Stege einen Knickschutz, welcher ein die Leitungen beschädigendes Abknicken der Kabel verhindert. Eine Kombination der beiderseits der Längsnut angeordneten Stege an der Verriegelungsplatte mit einem oder mehreren gemäß vorteilhafter Weiterbildung vorgesehenen, als Stegen ausgebildeten Abstandshaltern an der Kontakthalteplatte verbessert die Lagesicherung sowie den Knickschutz in ergänzender Weise, wobei die Leitungsenden zwischen den Stegen der Kontakthalteplatte und Verriegelungsplatte angeordnet sind.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the locking plate has at least one, preferably two webs arranged parallel to the longitudinal groove and on both sides of the longitudinal groove, which particularly preferably extend substantially perpendicular to the plane of the longitudinal groove, the upper side of the locking plate. The webs serve in a complementary manner as protection against contact and for securing the position of the line end sections. In addition, the webs form a kink protection, which prevents the cables damaging kinking of the cables. A combination of both sides of the longitudinal groove arranged webs on the locking plate with one or more provided according to an advantageous development, designed as webs spacers on the contact plate improves the position assurance and kink protection in a complementary manner, the line ends between the webs of the contact plate and locking plate are arranged.

Der Buchsenadapter 1 weist dabei eine üblicherweise zur Verbindung mit einer Platine vorgesehene Steckerleiste 2 auf, die eine Vielzahl voneinander beabstandeter, an einem Grundkörper 3 angeordnete Kontaktstifte 4 aufweist. Einerseits des Grundkörpers 3 bilden die Kontaktstifte 4 einen innerhalb eines Gehäuses 10 angeordneten Buchsenkontaktabschnitt 5, der nach Art eines Steckers zur Aufnahme der hier nicht dargestellten Buchse ausgebildet ist. Andererseits des Grundkörpers 3 bilden die Kontaktstifte 4 einen Platinenkontaktabschnitt 6, welcher üblicherweise dazu dient, die einzelnen Kontaktstifte 4 mit entsprechenden Kontakten auf der Platine zu verlöten.The socket adapter 1 in this case has a connector strip 2, which is usually provided for connection to a printed circuit board and which has a multiplicity of spaced-apart contact pins 4 arranged on a base body 3. On the one hand of the main body 3, the contact pins 4 form a socket contact section 5 arranged within a housing 10, which is formed in the manner of a plug for receiving the socket, not shown here. On the other hand, the main body 3 form the contact pins 4 a Board contact portion 6, which usually serves to solder the individual pins 4 with corresponding contacts on the board.

Zur Verbindung der Kontaktstifte 4 mit den Leitungen 17 eines hier nicht dargestellten Kabels weist der Buchsenadapter 1 eine eine Vielzahl von Durchgangsöffnungen 8 aufweisende Kontakthalteplatte 7 auf (vgl. Fig. 5a und 5b). Die Anordnung der Durchgangsöffnungen 8 entspricht der Anordnung der Kontaktstifte 4 an dem Grundkörper 3 der Steckerleiste 2. Die Kontakthalteplatte 7 ist dabei derart an den Kontaktstiften 4 angeordnet, dass diese abschnittsweise innerhalb der Durchgangsöffnung 8 angeordnet sind. Zur Lagesicherung der Kontakthalteplatte 7 an dem Grundkörper 3 dienen sich durch Öffnungen 20 an der Grundplatte 3 erstreckende Verriegelungsbolzen 18, die in entsprechende Aufnahmeabschnitte 21 an der Kontakthalteplatte 7 eingreifen.For connecting the contact pins 4 with the lines 17 of a cable, not shown, the female adapter 1 has a plurality of through holes 8 having contact plate 7 (see. Fig. 5a and 5b ). The arrangement of the passage openings 8 corresponds to the arrangement of the contact pins 4 on the main body 3 of the connector strip 2. The contact holding plate 7 is arranged on the contact pins 4, that these sections are arranged within the passage opening 8. To secure the position of the contact holding plate 7 on the base body 3 are 3 openings extending through openings 20 on the base plate locking bolt 18, which engage in corresponding receiving portions 21 on the contact plate 7.

Die Durchgangsöffnungen 8 beabstanden und isolieren damit die einzelnen Kontaktstifte 4 zuverlässig voneinander und sind dabei an die Form von Steckschuhen 9 angepasst, die an den Enden der Leitungen angeordnet sind, so dass die Steckschuhe 9 in ihrer Position klemmend an den Platinenkontaktabschnitten 6 der Kontaktstifte 4 gehalten werden. Die Durchgangsöffnungen 8 sind in Längsachsenrichtung der Kontakthalteplatte 7 in vier parallelen Reihen angeordnet, wobei zwei Reihen durch jeweils einen sich in Längsachsenrichtung der Kontakthalteplatte 7 erstreckenden Steg 11 voneinander getrennt sind. Der Steg 11 dient somit als Berührungsschutz sowie zur ergänzenden Lagesicherung der Steckschuh 9. An den Stegen 11 sind ferner Vorsprünge 12 entsprechend dem Abstand der Durchgangsöffnung 8 angeordnet. Diese beabstanden in Längsachsenrichtung der Kontakthalteplatte 7 betrachtet die an den Kontaktstiften 4 anordbaren Steckschuhe 9 und die Leitungsendabschnitte. Der Steg 11 dient somit in Verbindung mit den Vorsprüngen 12 als Berührungsschutz sowie als Knickschutz.The passage openings 8 space and thus insulate the individual contact pins 4 reliably from one another and are adapted to the shape of 9 plug-in shoes, which are arranged at the ends of the lines, so that the plug-in shoes 9 held in position clamped to the board contact portions 6 of the contact pins 4 become. The passage openings 8 are arranged in the longitudinal axis direction of the contact holding plate 7 in four parallel rows, wherein two rows are separated from one another by a respective web 11 extending in the longitudinal axis direction of the contact holding plate 7. The web 11 thus serves as protection against contact and for additional securing position of the boot 9. On the webs 11 projections 12 are further arranged according to the distance of the passage opening 8. These space in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the contact-holding plate 7 regards the pins 9 which can be arranged on the contact pins 4 and the line end sections. The web 11 thus serves in conjunction with the projections 12 as protection against contact and as kink protection.

Der Berührungs- und Knickschutz wird durch eine zur Lagesicherung der Steckschuhe 9 an den Kontaktstiften 4 vorgesehene Verriegelungsplatte 13 in ergänzender Weise verbessert. Die Verriegelungsplatte 13 weist zwei an die Stege 11 angepasste Längsnute 14 auf, durch welche die Leitungen 17 hindurchführbar sind. Die Breite der Längsnut 14 ist dabei derart bemessen, dass die Längsnut 14 mit ihrem der Kontakthalteplatte 7 zugewandten Randbereich an Rastvorsprüngen 22 der Steckschuhe 9 anliegt und somit eine Ausziehsicherung für die Steckschuhe 9 bildet. Die Verriegelungsplatte 13 ist dabei über Verriegelungsbolzen 18 mit der Kontakthalteplatte 7 verbunden, wobei sich die Verriegelungsbolzen 18 durch Öffnungen 19 an der Verriegelungsplatte 13 in die Aufnahmeabschnitte 21 an der Kontakthalteplatte 7 erstrecken.The contact and kink protection is improved by a provided for securing the position of the sock 9 on the contact pins 4 locking plate 13 in a complementary manner. The locking plate 13 has two adapted to the webs 11 longitudinal groove 14, through which the lines 17 are passed. The width of the longitudinal groove 14 is dimensioned such that the longitudinal groove 14 rests with its contact holding plate 7 facing edge region of locking projections 22 of the patch shoes 9 and thus forms a pull-out for the sockets 9. The locking plate 13 is connected via locking bolt 18 with the contact-holding plate 7, wherein the locking bolt 18 extend through openings 19 on the locking plate 13 in the receiving portions 21 on the contact-holding plate 7.

Die Verriegelungsplatte 13 weist neben den benachbart zueinander angeordneten Längsnuten 14 sich von einer Oberseite der Verriegelungsplatte 13 aus erstreckende Stege 15, 16 auf, die parallel zu den Längsnut 14 verlaufen. Im montierten Zustand des Buchsenadapters 1 ragen die Stege 11 der Kontakthalteplatte 7 durch die Längsnute 14 an der Verriegelungsplatte 13, so dass die Stege 15, 16 an der Verriegelungsplatte 13 gemeinsam mit den Stegen 11 einen zuverlässigen Knickschutz bilden. Die verjüngte Ausgestaltung der Vorsprünge 12 an den Stegen 11 gewährleistet darüber hinaus eine Verklemmung der Leitungen 17 zwischen den Stegen 11 an der Kontakthalteplatte 7 und den Stegen 15, 16 an der Verriegelungsplatte 13, wodurch eine Zugentlastung gebildet ist.The locking plate 13 has adjacent to each other longitudinal grooves 14 extending from an upper side of the locking plate 13 from webs 15, 16 which extend parallel to the longitudinal groove 14. In the assembled state of the female adapter 1, the webs 11 of the contact holding plate 7 protrude through the longitudinal groove 14 on the locking plate 13, so that the webs 15, 16 form a reliable kink protection together with the webs 11 on the locking plate 13. The tapered configuration of the projections 12 on the webs 11 also ensures a jamming of the lines 17 between the webs 11 on the contact plate 7 and the webs 15, 16 on the locking plate 13, whereby a strain relief is formed.
