- a connector with a closed inlet is in FIG. 8 shown.
- Such connectors have a closed interface-side leading edge.
- Contact straps can be surrounded by a housing. Closed-entry connectors prevent the connector from being damaged by mechanical forces, such as a mating attempt with a wrong mating connector. They also lead to significantly increased insertion forces.

In order to ensure sufficient flexibility of the outer conductor ring, this has at least one bulge or indentation, which can deform elastically during insertion. If a connector according to the invention is produced by means of a manufacturing method according to the invention, this also makes it possible to generate diameter jumps in the outer conductor main body by means of a punch-bending method.
- the outer conductor ring is adapted to protect contact straps from mechanical forces. This is necessary if a connector is to be plugged from an oblique direction or to withstand force effects from an oblique direction without damaging the outer conductor when plugged.

In order to ensure sufficient flexibility of the outer conductor ring, this has at least one bulge or indentation, which can deform elastically during insertion.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren der Zeichnung. Es versteht sich, dass die voranstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind.Advantageous embodiments and further developments will become apparent from the other dependent claims and from the description with reference to the figures of the drawing. It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively indicated combination but also in other combinations or alone.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Außenleiterring eingerichtet, Kontaktlaschen vor mechanischen Krafteinflüssen zu schützen. Dies ist erforderlich, wenn ein Steckverbinder auch aus einer schrägen Richtung steckbar sein soll oder in gestecktem Zustand Krafteinwirkungen aus einer schrägen Richtung ohne Beschädigung des Außenleiters standhalten soll. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung kann dieser Schutz der Kontaktlaschen durch einen geschlossenen Eintritt des Außenleiters gewährleistet werden.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor ring is adapted to protect contact straps from mechanical forces. This is necessary if a connector is to be plugged from an oblique direction or to withstand force effects from an oblique direction without damaging the outer conductor when plugged. According to one embodiment of the present invention, this protection of the contact tabs can be ensured by a closed entry of the outer conductor.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Außenleiterring eingerichtet, die Steckkräfte zum Stecken eines mit der Außenleiteranordnung verbundenen Steckverbinders, zu reduzieren. In Verbindung mit Steckverbindern, die einen geschlossenen Eintritt aufweisen, kommt es in der Regel zu hohen Steckkräften, was sich nachteilig auf die weitere Prozessierung von Steckverbindern auswirkt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor ring is set up, the insertion forces for Plug a connected to the outer conductor assembly connector to reduce. In conjunction with connectors that have a closed entry, it usually comes to high insertion forces, which adversely affects the further processing of connectors.
Diese Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung löst somit das Problem, Steckkräfte zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Stabilität eines Steckverbinders zu erhöhen. Die Optimierung dieser beiden Eigenschaften ist allerdings in der Praxis gegenläufig, d.h. eine gewünschte Steigerung der Stabilität führt zu einer ungewünschten Steigerung der Steckkräfte und andersherum.This embodiment of the present invention thus solves the problem of reducing insertion forces while increasing the stability of a connector. However, in practice, the optimization of these two properties is inverse, i. a desired increase in stability leads to an undesirable increase in the insertion forces and vice versa.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist an wenigstens einer Kontaktlasche eine Haltelasche angeformt, die zur Befestigung des Außenleiterrings dient. Auf diese Weise kann der Außenleiterring besonders einfach und sicher an dem Außenleitergrundkörper befestigt werden. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, den Außenleiterring an den Kontaktlaschen oder an einem anderen Teil des Außenleiters zu befestigen. Vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn eine Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Haltelasche in Umlaufrichtung des Au-βenleiterhalterings verläuft und/oder wenn die Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Haltelasche senkrecht zu der Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Kontaktlaschen verläuft.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a retaining tab is formed on at least one contact tab, which serves for fastening the outer conductor ring. In this way, the outer conductor ring can be attached to the outer conductor main body in a particularly simple and secure manner. Alternatively, it is also possible to attach the outer conductor ring to the contact tabs or to another part of the outer conductor. It is advantageous if a main extension direction of the retaining tab in the circumferential direction of the Au βenleiterhalterings runs and / or if the main extension direction of the retaining tab is perpendicular to the main extension direction of the contact tabs.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Außenleitergrundkörper zwischen der Haltelasche und den Kontaktlaschen einen Durchmessersprung auf. Durchmessersprünge im Außenleiter ermöglichen eine Anpassung der Impedanz. Besonders vorteilhaft an dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder ist, dass dieser auch durch ein Stanzverfahren samt der Durchmessersprünge fertigbar ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor main body between the retaining tab and the contact tabs on a diameter jump. Diameter jumps in the outer conductor allow the impedance to be adjusted. It is particularly advantageous in the connector according to the invention that this can also be produced by a punching method including the diameter jumps.
Wird ein erfindungsgemäßer Steckverbinder durch ein Stanzverfahren gefertigt, können Durchmessersprünge beim Abrollen der Haltelaschen erzeugt werden.If a connector according to the invention is produced by a stamping method, diameter jumps can be generated when the retaining tabs are unrolled.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Außenleitergrundkörper zwei Haltelaschen auf. Die Haltelaschen können gerade oder gebogen sein. Insbesondere können die Haltelaschen U-förmig oder teilkreisförmig ausgebildet sein.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor main body has two retaining tabs. The retaining tabs can be straight or curved. In particular, the retaining tabs may be U-shaped or part-circular.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist eine Schutzlasche an dem Außenleiterring vorgesehen, die die Kontaktlaschen des Außenleitergrundkörpers vor mechanischen Krafteinwirkungen schützt. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Schutzlasche eine Wandung bildet, die verhindert, dass die Kontaktlaschen durch eintretende Gegenstände, beispielsweise Werkzeuge, beschädigt wird. Die Schutzlasche kann in einer einfachen Ausführungsform als senkrechte Wandung, die von dem Außenleitergrundkörper absteht, ausgebildet sein oder als gebogene Lasche, welche die vorderen Enden der Kontaktlaschen verdeckt.According to a preferred embodiment, a protective tab is provided on the outer conductor ring, which protects the contact tabs of the outer conductor main body from mechanical force effects. It can be provided that the protective tab forms a wall which prevents the contact straps from being damaged by entering objects, such as tools. The protective tab may be formed in a simple embodiment as a vertical wall which protrudes from the outer conductor main body, or as a curved tab which covers the front ends of the contact tabs.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Außenleiterring ein erstes Ende und ein zweites Ende auf. Dabei ist der Außenleiterring zu seiner gewünschten Form gebogen, so dass eine Vorspannkraft in dem Außenleiterring das erste Ende und das zweite Ende zusammenhält.According to a further preferred embodiment, the outer conductor ring has a first end and a second end. In this case, the outer conductor ring is bent to its desired shape, so that a biasing force in the outer conductor ring holds the first end and the second end together.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Kontaktlaschen jeweils einen Kontaktpunkt zur Kontaktierung eines Außenleiters eines Gegensteckverbinders auf. Auf diese Weise wird die Schirmung des Steckverbinders deutlich verbessert. Um Steckkräfte zu reduzieren, ist es möglich, diese Kontaktpunkte in axialer Richtung versetzt anzuordnen.According to a further preferred embodiment, the contact tabs each have a contact point for contacting an outer conductor of a mating connector. In this way, the shielding of the connector is significantly improved. To reduce insertion forces, it is possible to arrange these contact points offset in the axial direction.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Einbuchtung bzw. die Ausbuchtung des Außenleiterrings derart ausgelegt, eine vorbestimmte Federwirkung während dem Stecken bereitzustellen. Dies kann durch die Breite der Ausbuchtung bzw. Einbuchtung oder durch die Wahl eines günstigen Materials erreicht werden.According to a further preferred embodiment, the indentation or the bulge of the outer conductor ring is designed to provide a predetermined spring action during insertion. This can be achieved by the width of the bulge or indentation or by the choice of a cheap material.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Außenleitergrundkörper als Stanzteil ausgebildet. Stanzteile sind auf besonders einfache und kostengünstige Weise herstellbar. Insbesondere kann die Produktion von Stanzteilen hochautomatisiert erfolgen. Allerdings ist das Erzeugen von Durchmessersprüngen in Stanzverfahren für Steckverbinder mit einem geschlossenen Eintritt nur in Verbindung mit anderen mechanischen Nachteilen wie hohe Steckkräfte oder niedrige Kontaktkräfte möglich.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor main body is formed as a stamped part. Stamped parts can be produced in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner. In particular, the production of stamped parts can be made highly automated. However, the generation of diameter jumps in punching methods for plug connectors with a closed inlet is only possible in conjunction with other mechanical disadvantages such as high insertion forces or low contact forces.

Der Außenleitergrundkörper 200 umfasst auf dessen Oberseite und Unterseite mehrere Kontaktlaschen 201 und auf der rechten und linken Seite jeweils eine Kontaktlasche 203. Die Kontaktlasche 203 ist etwas größer als die Kontaktlaschen 201 und somit auch steifer als die Kontaktlaschen 201. An den Kontaktlaschen 203 sind zudem die U-förmigen Haltelaschen 207 angeformt, die zusätzlich zu einer gesteigerten Stabilität der Kontaktlaschen 203 gegenüber der Kontaktlaschen 201 beitragen.The outer conductor
Die Kontaktlaschen 201 weisen in einem vorderen Endbereich jeweils einen Kontaktpunkt 204 auf. Der Kontaktpunkt ist als kugelförmige Ausbuchtung der Kontaktlaschen 201 ausgebildet und kontaktiert in gestecktem Zustand den Außenleiter eines Gegensteckverbinders, der mit dem Steckverbinder gesteckt ist. Dies gewährleistet eine elektromagnetische Schirmung an der Ober- und Unterseite der Außenleiteranordnung 100 von in dem Außenleitergrundkörper 200 geführten Innenleitern (nicht dargestellt) durch den Außenleitergrundkörper 200.The
Auch die Kontaktlaschen 203 weisen auf Höhe der Kontaktpunkte 204 jeweils einen Kontaktpunkt 205 auf. Der Kontaktpunkt 205 ist mittig auf der Kontaktlasche 203 ausgebildet und erstreckt sich nicht über die volle Breite der Kontaktlasche 203. Auf diese Weise ist gewährleistet, dass die Außenleiteranordnung 100 auch eine elektromagnetische Schirmung an den Seiten der Außenleiteranordnung bereitstellt.The

Der Fachmann erkennt, dass die Haltelaschen 207 keineswegs U-förmig ausgebildet sein müssen, sondern von beliebiger Kontur, die die Kontur von vorne der Kontaktlaschen nachbildet, beispielsweise teilkreisförmig. In diesem Fall kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass an der Kontaktlasche 203 mehrere teilkreisförmige Haltelaschen angeformt sind. Ferner können die Spalte zwischen den gegenüberliegenden U-förmigen Haltelaschen 207 vergrößert oder verkleinert werden, solange der Spalt zwischen den gegenüberliegenden U-förmigen Haltelaschen 207 ausreichend Raum für die Einbuchtung 303 gewährleistet.The skilled artisan will recognize that the retaining
Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass sich die gegenüberliegenden freien Schenkel des Us der Haltelaschen 207 berühren oder überlappen. In diesem Fall wird die Einbuchtung 303 auf den Haltelaschen 207 aufliegen und deutlich flacher ausgebildet sein oder durch eine Ausbuchtung ersetzt sein.Alternatively, it can be provided that the opposing free legs of the Us of the retaining
In
Der Außenleiterring 300 umfasst den Ring 305, der an den Haltelaschen 207 befestigt werden wird. Der Ring 305 umfasst auch die Einbuchtung 303, die sich in montiertem Zustand zwischen den beiden Haltelaschen 207 befindet.The
Ferner umfasst der Außenleiterring 300 die abgebogene Schutzlasche 301, die die Enden der Kontaktlaschen 201 vor Krafteinwirkung durch Fremdkörper schützt.Furthermore, the
Das Gehäuse 101 der Außenleiteranordnung 100 weist zudem eine Steckkodierung 107 auf, die verhindert, dass ein Steckverbinder mit der Außenleiteranordnung 100 spiegelverkehrt gesteckt wird.The
Die Außenleiteranordnung 400 umfasst zwei Kontaktlaschen 503, die jeweils einen mittigen Kontaktpunkt 505 aufweisen. Der Kontaktlasche 503 ist jeweils eine Haltelasche 507 angeformt. Die Haltelasche 507 ist leicht gebogen und wird sich bei der Montage des Außenleiterrings 600 zu einem Teilkreis verformen. Die Außenleiteranordnung 400 macht zwischen der Haltelasche 507 und der Kontaktlasche 503 einen Durchmessersprung.The
Zwischen den Kontaktlaschen 503 befinden sich jeweils zwei Kontaktlaschen 501. Die Kontaktlaschen 501 weisen die Kontaktpunkte 504 auf. Die Kontaktpunkte 504, 505 gewährleisten eine umfängliche elektromagnetische Schirmung durch die Kontaktlaschen der Außenleiteranordnung 100.Between the
Der Außenleiterring 600 der Außenleiteranordnung 400 ist in einem zusammengedrücktem Zustand dargestellt. Ähnlich wie der Außenleiterring 300 weist der Außenleiterring 600 eine Einbuchtung 603 auf, die in
Obwohl die vorliegende Erfindung anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele vorstehend vollständig beschrieben wurde, ist sie darauf nicht beschränkt, sondern auf vielfältige Art und Weise modifizierbar.Although the present invention has been fully described above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto but is modifiable in a variety of ways.
