Definitions
- the invention relates to a contact carrier according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
- Such contact carriers are required to receive electrical contact elements to install in a connector, housing or other electrical device and shield it against this electrically.
- the electrical contact element is connected to a cable or a line and then received in the contact carrier.
- the contact carrier ensures that the electrical contact element is completely insulated against the device in which it is housed.
- contact carrier of the electrical contact can be installed so safe. Accordingly, such contact carrier holding devices, which make it possible to mechanically fix the contact carrier in a connector, housing or other device.
- one or more such contact carriers may be received in a connector, for example.
- the connector itself does not have to have an electrically insulating housing.
- contact carriers therefor are made of an electrically insulating material, e.g. a polymer produced.
- contact carriers are common in which only one electrical contact is received. Due to size, weight and the associated bulkiness of the contacts, it makes sense to provide these occasionally with a contact carrier and to install in a connector, housing or other electrical device.
- a two-part contact carrier has hitherto usually been used.
- the main body is usually cylindrical and provided for receiving the electrical contact. So that the electrical contact is held securely in the base body, a closure is provided, which is placed on one side on an opening of the base body. Depending on the design, the closure is screwed onto the base body or latched onto it.
- Cylindrical contact carriers for receiving an electrical contact element are known from the company publication of HARTING "Industrial Connectors Han®, 02. 9" In this case, the contact carriers have a plug-in side and a connection side The contact cap is thereby latched onto the cylindrical base body of the contact carrier, four pairs of latching means being provided on the contact cap and the base body.
- the invention is therefore the object of a contact carrier in such a way that a contact element can be added and fixed, both the assembly and disassembly of the contact element in the contact carrier is to be made possible easily, quickly and without tools such as tools.
- the object is solved by the characterizing features of independent claim 1.
- the contact carrier for receiving an electrical contact element.
- the contact carrier is formed from a base body and a holding element, wherein the base body can receive an electrical contact element and the holding element serves to fix the contact element in the base body.
- the main body is designed as a hollow cylinder and has a plug side and a connection side.
- the plug-in side is used for contacting with a mating connector.
- the connection side is provided for receiving a contact element.
- the through opening of the hollow cylinder extends through the base body which is designed as a contact receptacle.
- the plug-in axis which defines the plug-in direction - in the direction of the plug side - of the contact carrier.
- the holding element can be introduced at least partially into the contact receptacle on the connection side of the base body.
- On the connection side means for fixing the retaining element are also arranged on the base body.
- the holding element can be fixed to the base body and fix an electrical contact element, which is arranged in the contact receptacle of the contact carrier, in this.
- the holding element In order to be able to guide the holding element into the basic body, the holding element has a guide area.
- the guide area protrudes into the contact of the body and thereby guides the retaining element along the thru axle.
- the guide area prevents twisting of the holding element. ment in the basic body.
- For the guide area is designed so that it is guided in guides within the contact linear along the thru axle.
- the guide region is designed in a special embodiment as at least one holding arm, which serves for holding an electrical contact element in the contact carrier.
- the holding arm protrudes into the contact receptacle of the contact carrier and holds an inserted electrical contact element therein.
- a latching area is integrally formed on the connection side.
- the latching area is provided for fixing and holding the holding element in the contact and on the base body.
- the latching region of the retaining element has at least one latching means.
- the latching means can lock with the base body and thus hold the retaining element on the base body and in the contact.
- further locking means are provided on the main body, which cooperate with the at least one locking means of the holding element.
- the latching region and the guide region of the retaining element are not rigidly connected to each other.
- Latching area and guide area are designed to rotate with each other. The rotation of the areas relative to one another is aligned about the plug-in axis of the contact carrier.
- the two areas are connected to each other via an elastic connection.
- the elastic connection allows the area to be rotated by a limited angle relative to one another. By the elastic connection are directed the guide area and the rest area automatically back to each other in the original state.
- the holding element is made in one piece from a polymer.
- the latching area and the guide area are connected via at least one thin web.
- the regions are preferably connected to one another via at least three webs, which are deflected relative to one another and elastically deformed upon rotation of the regions.
- the elastic deformation and rotation of the holding element makes it possible to move the latching means of the holding element out of the engagement region of the further latching means on the base body.
- the latching means are laterally rotated on a circular path out of engagement of the further latching means on the base body.
- the locking and holding the retaining element is dissolved in the body.
- the holding element in an expedient embodiment has an actuating area which is arranged on the latching area.
- the actuation area is arranged outside the contact receptacle and the base body, so that it can be operated by a user.
- all components but at least the main body and the holding element made of an electrically insulating material, preferably a polymer.
- the present invention thus solves the known from the prior art disadvantages and the present task.
