Definitions
- the invention relates to a reverse polarity protection for connectors with two plug-in connector parts according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
- a reverse polarity protection is very often provided today, the one connector part having a first coding element and the other connector part having a second coding element.
- These coding elements are arranged on the two connector parts so that a connection is possible only in a desired position of the connector parts.
- Such connectors are also used in harsh environments, for example in automobiles or in aircraft, such as helicopters. In these applications, significant vibration loads and vibrations can occur, which can lead to unintentional release of the can cause the connector parts and thus contact interruptions. Therefore, such connectors also have locking elements to prevent inadvertent release. But even with these locking elements, which effectively prevent inadvertent release of the two connector parts, can not be ruled out that at considerable Ruttel- and vibration loads rub the contact elements of the connector parts together and damaged due to this continuous friction with corresponding vibration frequencies contact elements of the connector parts, to towards an irreversible interruption of the electrical contact.
- the reverse polarity protection according to the invention for connectors with the features of claim 1 not only allows in a very advantageous and effective way reverse polarity protection, but at the same time a fixation of the two connector parts together, such that even with significant vibration and vibration loads movement of the two connector parts relative to each other is practically excluded.
- the big advantage of this is that no additional devices must be provided on the connector parts that prevent such relative movement of the connector parts to each other in significant vibration and vibration loads. Rather, it is possible by the configuration of a coding as extending in the insertion direction groove with trapezoidal cross section and the other coding element as extending in the insertion direction U-shaped coding rib with elastically bendable U-shaped walls possible to generate a defined clamping force of the coding rib in the coding groove.
- the polarity reversal protection therefore simultaneously constitutes a device which effects a relative movement of the two connector parts effectively prevents each other even with significant Ruttel- and vibration loads.
- the U-shaped walls hereinafter also referred to briefly as U-walls
- the U-shaped Codierrippe which rise vertically, are deformed elastically due to the trapezoidal formation of the groove, by virtue of the oblique arrangement of the walls pressed inwards and exert a force on the trapezoidally arranged walls.
- Due to the elastic design of the U-walls also a pulling apart of the two connector parts is possible under exercise of a predetermined pull-out force.
- the U-walls are bent back after loosening the two connector parts due to their elasticity.
- the measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous refinements of the reverse polarity protection specified in the independent claim 1 are possible.
- the force with which the U-walls act on the trapezoidally inclined walls of the groove due to the length of the U-walls are defined in the insertion direction.
- Long U-walls, practically over the entire groove, allow for a given thickness of the U-walls a greater force than short U-walls.
- the U-walls can be formed over the substantially entire length in the insertion direction, which considerably contributes to the stability of the U-walls, as they can be connected, for example on its side facing away from the plug side ßerrenz the groove, for example with a housing part of the connector part, which would not be possible with a shorter design of the U-walls, as these for the realization of Reverse polarity protection must always start on the mating side of the connector part and so can not extend over the entire length of the groove.
- the U-shaped Codierrippe has at its front, plug-side end an area which is trapezoidal in such a way that its externa ßere trapezoidal shape is adapted to the trapezoidal groove.
- This front trapezoidal region which is preferably designed as a trapezoidal web, is preferably connected to the U-shaped walls of the U-shaped Codierrippe.
- the U-shaped arranged walls are thus connected at the front, plug-side end with the trapezoidal web, at its rear end facing away from the plug side, they can be connected to a housing part of the connector part.
- the front trapezoidal portion of the Codierrippe allows higher resistance forces in incorrect arrangement of the connector parts relative to each other. It also improves the stability and resistance to damage to the U-walls characterized in that they are connected on two sides with a housing part, namely at the front, plug-side end with the trapezoidal web, which is part of a connector housing, and at the rear of the Web side remote end with a corresponding housing part, such as a housing wall of the connector housing.
- sliding areas are arranged between the trapezoidal web and the U-shaped walls in the insertion direction. These sliding areas allow the coding rib to slip in the coding groove with the correct insertion of the two connector parts into each other. They also promote the Nachinnenbiegen the U-shaped walls arranged in the trapezoidal groove during the insertion process.
- the groove with a trapezoidal cross-section is arranged in an advantageous manner in a connector housing of a connector part and the coding rib is preferably arranged on the connector housing of the other connector part.
- the coding rib is formed integrally with the connector housing.
- the U-shaped walls taper towards the housing wall at their ends remote from the plug-in side, at which they are connected to a housing wall. This facilitates a complete insertion of the two connector parts into each other.
- Figure 1 is an isometric, partially broken away view of a connector part with a coding groove designed as a trapezoidal cross-section Codierelement.
- FIG. 2 is an isometric view, partly broken away, of a second connector part corresponding to the connector part shown in FIG. 1 with a coding element in the form of a coding rib, which is U-shaped;
- FIG. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the two nested connector parts and
- Fig. 4 is a in Figure 3 with IV designated enlargement.
- a connector shown in the figures, has two plug-in connector parts plugged into one another.
- a first connector part 100 is formed for example as a male connector with a housing 105 in which a plug-in opening 106 is provided, in turn, the blade contacts 107 are arranged.
- This connector part 100 is arranged, for example, on a (not shown) printed circuit board, for which corresponding SMD contact elements 108 are provided.
- a connector part 200 suitable for this connector part 100, shown in FIG. 2, is designed as a spring strip. It has a housing 205, in which openings 207 are arranged, in which in turn known per se spring elements are arranged, which are not visible in Fig. 2.
- the connector part 100 shown in Fig. 1 has a first coding element 1 10 in the form of a groove with trapezoidal walls 120
- the connector part shown in Fig. 2 has a second coding element 210 which is formed as Codierrippe, which in its front region with a web 21 1 with trapezoidal side walls 215 completes.
- This trapezoidal web 21 1 has dimensions that are adapted to the trapezoidal groove 1 10 so that a telescoping of the second coding element 210 in the first coding element 1 10, with correct arrangement of the connector parts relative to each other is possible.
- the coding rib 210 is U-shaped in its rear, the plug-side facing away from the U-shaped walls, hereinafter called U-walls 212, 213 short.
- U-walls 212, 213 open plug-side into the trapezoidal web 21 1 and are connected thereto. They open on the side remote from the plug side in a housing wall 230, where they are connected to the housing wall 230 here.
- the transition from the trapezoidal web 21 1 with its sloping walls 215 in the vertical U-walls 212, 213 carried by oblique sliding portions 219, the sliding in of the U-walls 212, 213 in the trapezoidal groove 1 10 with their oblique standing walls 120 allows.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the two nested connector parts 100, 200.
- the U-shaped Codierrippe 210 In the upper part of the U-shaped Codierrippe 210 is shown with their U-walls 212, 213, which in the groove 1 10 with trapezoidal gene walls 120 is arranged.
- the insertion process is shown schematically.
- Fig. 4a shows the groove 1 10 with trapezoidal walls 120.
- the U-walls 212, 213 of the U-shaped Codierrippe 210 are perpendicular, so that an overlap O occurs. This overlap O is given before the insertion process.
- the U-walls 212, 213 of the coding rib 210 are elastically bent inwardly in the direction of the arrows denoted by B and are after the connection to the trapezoidal, that is inclined walls 120 first coding element 1 10. This condition is shown in Fig. 4b. Due to their elastic deformability, the two U-walls 212, 213 exert a force F directed in the direction of the inclined, trapezoidal walls 120, which enables a fixation of the two connector parts 100, 200 to one another.
- This force F can be adjusted in principle over the length of the U-walls 212, 213 in the insertion direction or even better over the thickness of the U-walls 212, 213 to a certain extent. It can either be calculated or determined on the basis of appropriate experimental investigations.
- the walls 212, 213 have recesses 260 at their base, which may be semicircular, for example (Fig. 4a, b).
