- the present invention relates to a plug receptacle and a plug for an electrical plug connection and an electrical plug connection, in particular a plug receptacle and a plug for an electrical plug connection, which can be releasably connected to each other.
- plug-in connections for contacting printed circuit boards are used, with which electrical signals can be transmitted and / or a power supply can be ensured.
- the circuit boards can have any number of electrical poles.
- printed circuit boards are known with a direct connector, such as the type 35 plug recording from Lumberg. Due to occurring temperature changes of the connectors may cause relative movement between the metallic conductor in the plug and the metallic support surface on the circuit board. These relative movements are mainly due to the different thermal expansion behavior of the materials used and can cause fretting corrosion, which can unnecessarily increase the electrical resistance of the contact. Furthermore, a reliable electrical contact between the plug receptacle and the plug can then no longer be guaranteed.
- a plug receptacle for an electrical plug connection for connection to a plug having at least one electrical plug conductor is disclosed.

In this way, the interaction between the lever and the connecting conductor is implemented in the form of the spiral spring.
- the Spi ⁇ cal spring can be at least partially compressed by a rotation of the lever and thus be detached from the connector conductor. Due to the bias voltage, the first region of the connection conductor is designed to urge and bias the lever at least partially into the locking position, in which the pretensioning force of the first region acts on the abutment surface.

- the coil spring 140 is further compressed and at least from the bottom 116 of the housing partially removed. This enlarges the insertion region 136 and the plug 200 can continue to be inserted.
- the connection conductor 140 remains permanently in electrical contact with the plug receptacle 102.
- protrusion 136 protrudes into recess 220. Due to the biasing force applied to the lever 130 in FIG. 4 by the coil spring 40, the lever 130 automatically moves back to its locking position when the recess 220 is directly below it (see FIG. 5).
- the plug 200 is in the fully inserted position, in which the second portion 144 of the connection conductor 140 to be respectively ⁇ parent contact portion 203, 205 of the respective connector conductor 202, 204 is in electrical contact.

This connection force causes at least partially a frictional engagement between the
- the connecting conductor 140 is arranged at least partially floating within the housing and is held at least partially in position only by the second region 144 projecting through the passage opening 132.
- the floating arrangement of the connecting conductor 140 within the housing 110 ge ⁇ ensures an at least partially compensate for any thermal expansions of the electrical elements, whereby fretting corrosion at the contact point between the connection conductor 140 and the connector conductors 202, 204 can be at least partially avoided.
- the connecting force of the coil spring 140 becomes a durable and reliable
- the number of plug conductors 202, 204 can correspond to the number of connecting conductors 140. That is, the plug receptacle 100 shown by way of example in the drawings has a total of two connecting conductors 140, which are designed according to FIGS. 3 to 6 and can make electrical contact with an associated plug conductor 202, 204.

- the lever 130 In the release position of the second Accordingly, the housing element 114, the lever 130 can be rotated so that a plug 200 can be plugged into the plug receptacle 100 at all. Due to z. B. vibrations, it may happen that the plug 200 unintentionally releases from the connector receptacle 100, since the vibration forces exceed the pre ⁇ clamping force of the connecting conductor 140 and thus can cause a movement of the lever 130 and then the locking portion 136 from the locking portion 120th can solve.
- the second housing element 114 is displaceable from the release position into a blocking position (see FIGS. 8A and 8B). In this case, the housing element 114 is displaced substantially counter to the insertion direction 40 of the plug and causes a blockage of the rotational movement of the shaft 120 and of the lever 130.
- the housing 114 at least partially shifts along the lever 130 and thus blocks the rotational movement of the lever 130. In this position, moreover, a rotational movement of the shaft 120 is locked and consequently also the Verriegelunsabêt 136 of the lever 130 can not detach from the locking portion 220 of the plug 200, whereby a permanent and reliable connection between the plug receptacle 100 and the plug 200 can be ensured.
- an overlap length L between a blocking portion 115 of the housing member 114 and the lever 130 ( Figure 8A see Fig.) Is determined by the displacement of the second Gezzau ⁇ soul ments 114 in the blocking position manufactured, whereby the rotational movement of the lever is mechanically locked 130.
- the second housing element 114 can again be moved out of its blocking position (see FIG. 8B) into the release position (see FIG. 7B). Thereupon, the plug 200 can be pulled out against the insertion direction 40.
- a front end of the recess 120 with the second edge 139 of the locking portion 136 in contact and causes further pulling out an upward movement of the lever 130, which thus comes from its locking position (see FIG.
- a translatory locking can be provided such that instead of the lever 130 and the shaft 120 in the housing 110 linearly movable on ⁇ sorted locking element (not shown) can be provided which upon insertion of the plug 200 linearly (and substantially orthogonal to the plug conductor 202, 204) moves upward (similar to the movement of the lever 130 upwards in FIG. 4) and engages in the recess 220 during engagement.
- the locking portion 136 may be identical to the embodiment shown in the drawings with rotational locking by lever 130 and shaft 120.
