Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector having a housing and at least one chamber for receiving at least one electrical contact element, which can be fastened via a locking element in the housing, wherein the locking element is arranged on the contact element latching hook, which is adapted to an opening in the housing is latched.
  • a connector with a secondary locking is known for example from DE 20 2006 010 308 U1.
  • this connector which has at least one arranged in a connector base element contact element, at least one arranged in the contact element transversely to the direction of insertion secondary locking recess is provided, into which engages a locking cam of a secondary locking element in the locking position of the secondary locking element.
  • the contact element is designed as a spring contact element.
  • For attachment in the housing is provided that in a, connecting the two spring contacts U-shaped connecting plate a latching hook is arranged in the engages a corresponding detent opening in the housing. This locking hook is punched out of the U-shaped connecting plate.
  • the latching hook protrudes resiliently from the U-shaped connecting plate and engages in the locked state in the opening in the housing and thus holds the spring contact element, formed from the two spring contacts and the U-shaped connecting plate, in the housing.
  • Such attachment allows only limited tensile forces.
  • the assembly is awkward.
  • the production of the latching hook as punched out of the U-shaped connecting plate hook is expensive.
  • the locking element is not arranged in the U-shaped connecting plate between the spring contacts and on the side facing away from the spring contacts, but over the spring contacts in a manner such that the locking element like a cover over the U-shaped bent sheet metal is arranged, wherein it also extends into the front region of the spring contacts.
  • Such a design not only allows easy and quick production. It also allows a much larger design of the locking element.
  • the latching element since it surmounted the spring contacts so to speak cover-like manner, be formed over a wide area and therefore allows and because of its arrangement on the spring contacts a much greater resistance to pull-out than a arranged in the U-shaped connecting plate locking element.
  • the latching element has a latching hook, the bending region of which extends on the contact openings. turned side of the spring contacts is formed.
  • the latching hook is arranged in this way in the region of the contact openings.
  • the bending region has a greater width than the latching element. This allows high bending forces and improves stability.
  • the latching element has a bead extending essentially over its entire length.
  • the spring contacts on their side facing the latching element have a sloping support surface for the latching hook in the unlocked state.
  • the locking element is so to speak on the spring contacts as long as until it is engaged in the designated detent opening.
  • This support surface very advantageously limits the bending angle of the locking element and thus prevents damage to the locking element by overbending.
  • the locking element itself has on its side facing the spring contacts a bearing surface for a blade contact element.
  • a bearing surface for a blade contact element In the nested state of the blade contact element in the spring contact element disengagement of the latching hook is prevented from the detent opening, because the support surface rests on the blade contact element, the externa ßere parallelepiped shape to the opening of the "cover" -the locking element - completed U- shaped cross-section of the spring contact element is formed.
  • Such a connector may also have a secondary locking, as is apparent from DE 20 2006 010 308 U1.
  • the arrangement of the locking element on the spring contact elements allows this at the same time in a very advantageous manner securing a sol- Chen secondary locking before unlocking, because the locking element also prevents the same time that the secondary lock can be operated.
  • the spring contact element and the latching element are integrally formed with each other.
  • the spring contact element and the latching element are formed from a single stamped part and bent several times.
  • Fig. 1 is an isometric view of a spring contact element of a connector according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the spring contact element shown in FIG. 1; FIG.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the spring contact element shown in FIGS. 1 and 2; FIG.
  • Fig. 5 shows an inventive connector in the locked state of the locking element
  • FIG. 6 of the connector shown in Fig. 5 after making a plug connection with a blade contact element.
  • a designated as a whole with 100 spring contact element of a connector according to the invention comprises two contact elements, which are formed in Fig. 1 as spring contacts 1 10, 120. These spring contacts 1 10, 120 die- NEN in a known manner the inclusion of a blade contact element (see Fig. 6).
  • the spring contacts 1 10, 120 are connected to each other via a connecting plate 130, wherein the two spring contacts 1 10, 120 together with the connecting plate 130 have a U-shaped configuration.
  • This U-shaped arrangement is as it were covered cover-like by a locking element 140, so that the U-shaped profile is designed together with this cover in section as a rectangular profile.
  • the spring contacts 1 10, 130 is followed by a crimping region 160, which serves to receive and crimp strands in a manner known per se.
  • the crimp region 160 is followed by a strain relief 162, which serves to receive an insulating jacket of a cable formed from strands.
  • the locking element 140 is mounted on the contact tips 1 1 1, 121 of the spring contacts 1 10, 120 side facing away from the U-shaped profile, for example, formed integrally therewith. It can be produced by a punching process from a flat sheet, which is angled at right angles three times, first to form the spring contacts 1 10, 120 and then to the formation of this latch-like arranged locking element 140.
  • the locking element 140 has a continuous longitudinally extending bead 141st on, which serves to increase the stability of the elongated locking element 140.
  • the contact blades 1 1 1, 121 facing the end of a latching hook 142 is formed on the locking element 140, whose function will be described in more detail below.
  • the spring contacts 1 10, 120 have on their upper side, that is, at their edge facing the latching element 140 surfaces 1 12, 122 which extend obliquely and which are formed as bearing surfaces for the latching element.
  • the latching element 140 in the region of the latching hook 142 has a bending region 143, which is wider than the latching element 140 itself the increase in the stability of the latching hook 142 and thus the increase of extraction forces from the connector housing.
  • Fig. 4 to Fig. 6 show a connector, that is, the arrangement of the above-described spring contact element 100 in a housing 200.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the not yet engaged state of the locking element 140 in a designated opening 240 of the housing 200.
  • Wie 4 the electrical contact element in the form of the spring contact element 100 is arranged in a chamber 201 of the housing 200, which has both an opening 202 on the plug side and an opening 204 on the cable side.
  • the plug-in opening 202 serves to insert a blade contact element 500 in a manner known per se, the opening 204 serves to lead the cable (not shown) out of the housing 200.
  • the spring contact element 100 is moved from the rear side, that is to say from the opening 204 inserted into the housing 200, wherein initially the locking element 140 is not yet engaged. It is rather bent downwards and lies on the bearing surfaces 1 12, 122. By this resting the possibility of bending the locking element 140 is limited and thus prevents damage to the locking element 140 by overbending. After the spring contact element 100 is completely inserted into the housing 200, a complete latching of the latching element 140 takes place. For this purpose, the latching hook 142 engages in a designated opening 240 of the housing 200. This condition is shown in FIG.
  • Such a connector may also include a secondary latch 300 having latch cams 310, 320 which engage corresponding latch recesses 181, 182 of the spring contact element.
