Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Das erfindungsgemäße System besteht aus einem ersten The system according to the invention consists of a first
Steckverbindermodul und einem damit steckbaren zweiten Connector module and a pluggable second
Steckverbindermodul. Derartige Steckverbindermodule werden in so genannten schweren Steckverbindern eingesetzt, die modular mit verschiedenartigen Steckverbindermodulen bestückt werden können.

Die Steckverbindermodule werden in der Regel in einem Halterahmen eingebracht, der anschließend in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingebaut wird. Ein solcher Halterahmen ist beispielsweise in der The connector modules are usually placed in a holding frame, which is then installed in a connector housing. Such a support frame is for example in the
DE 10 2013 1 13 975 A1 offenbart. DE 10 2013 1 13 975 A1.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbindermodule weisen jeweils zumindest zwei Kontaktelemente auf. Hierbei handelt es sich vorzugsweise um elektrische Kontaktelemente, die aus einem metallischen Grundstoff mit einer darauf aufgebrachten, besonders leitfähigen Metalllegierung bestehen. Das erste Steckverbindermodul weist zumindest eine The connector modules according to the invention each have at least two contact elements. These are preferably electrical contact elements which consist of a metallic base material with a particularly conductive metal alloy applied thereto. The first connector module has at least one
Federbrücke auf, wobei die zumindest eine Federbrücke im ungesteckten Zustand die zumindest zwei Kontaktelemente des ersten Spring bridge, wherein the at least one spring bridge in the unplugged state, the at least two contact elements of the first
Steckverbindermoduls elektrisch leitend miteinander verbindet. Das bedeutet, dass die Federbrücke aus einem leitenden Material gefertigt ist und im ungesteckten Zustand des ersten Steckverbindermoduls in Connector module electrically conductively connects to each other. This means that the spring bridge is made of a conductive material and in the unmated state of the first connector module in
Berührkontakt mit den zumindest zwei Kontaktelementen steht. Touch contact with the at least two contact elements is.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Federbrücke zwischen den zwei Advantageously, the spring bridge between the two
Kontaktelementen angeordnet. Die Federbrücke besteht aus Contact elements arranged. The spring bridge consists of
federelastischem, elektrisch leitenden Material. Im ungesteckten Zustand drückt die Federbrücke einseitig gegen ein erstes und anderseitig gegen ein zweites Kontaktelement, wodurch eine so genannte elektrische Brückung zwischen den Kontaktelementen entsteht. Diese Anordnung ist besonders platzsparend. resilient, electrically conductive material. When unmated, the spring bridge presses on one side against a first and on the other side against a second contact element, whereby a so-called electrical bridging between the contact elements is formed. This arrangement is particularly space-saving.
Vorteilhafterweise weist das Steckverbindermodul zumindest vier Advantageously, the connector module has at least four
Kontaktelemente und zumindest zwei Federbrücken auf. Jeweils zwischen zwei Kontaktelementen ist eine Federbrücke angeordnet. Contact elements and at least two spring bridges on. Between each two contact elements, a spring bridge is arranged.
Vorzugsweise wird die Federbrücke in einem Stanz-Biegeverfahren hergestellt. Die Federbrücke ist spiegelsymmetrisch entlang ihrer Preferably, the spring bridge is produced in a punch-bending process. The spring bridge is mirror-symmetrical along its
Hauptsymmetrieachse ausgebildet. Die Federbrücke ist idealerweise omegaförmig ausgestaltet, wobei die Enden nach innen gekrümmt sind, um die Oberfläche des Kontaktelements bzw. der Kontaktelemente möglichst wenig mechanisch zu belasten, wenn beide miteinander in Berührkontakt gebracht werden. Main symmetry axis formed. The spring bridge is ideally designed omega-shaped, wherein the ends are curved inwardly to minimize mechanical stress on the surface of the contact element or the contact elements when both are brought into contact with each other.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen die In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the
Kontaktelemente einen Kontaktbereich und einen Anschlussbereich auf. Am Anschlussbereich des Kontaktelements werden Leiter eines am Steckverbinder angeschlossenen Kabels angeschlossen. Hier wird beispielsweise die Crimptechnik verwendet. Der Kontaktbereich des Kontaktelements tritt in Berührkontakt mit einem Kontaktelement eines gegenüberliegenden Steckverbindermoduls, sobald die Contact elements on a contact area and a connection area. At the connection area of the contact element, conductors of a cable connected to the connector are connected. Here, for example, the crimping technique is used. The contact region of the contact element comes into touching contact with a contact element of an opposite connector module as soon as the
Steckverbindermodule miteinander gesteckt sind. Die zumindest eine Federbrücke verbindet im ungesteckten Zustand die zumindest zwei Kontaktelemente des ersten Steckverbindermoduls im Anschlussbereich elektrisch leitend miteinander. Im Anschlussbereich der zwei Connector modules are plugged together. The at least one spring bridge connects in the unmated state, the at least two Contact elements of the first connector module in the connection area electrically conductive with each other. In the connection area of the two
Kontaktelemente wird ein Berührkontakt mit der Federbrücke hergestellt. Den Berührkontakt entfernt vom Kontaktbereich der Kontaktelemente herzustellen hat den Vorteil, dass die metallische Legierung des Contact elements is made a contact contact with the spring bridge. To make the touch contact away from the contact region of the contact elements has the advantage that the metallic alloy of the
Kontaktelements im Kontaktbereich geschont wird. Dadurch können mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbindermodul mehr Steckzyklen erreicht werden. Der Kontaktbereich der Kontaktelemente wird während des Steckvorgangs mechanisch belastet. Eine zusätzliche Belastung durch eine Federbrücke in diesem Bereich würde zu einem beschleunigten Verschleiß der betroffenen Kontaktelemente führen. Contact element is protected in the contact area. As a result, more mating cycles can be achieved with the connector module according to the invention. The contact area of the contact elements is mechanically stressed during the plugging operation. An additional load by a spring bridge in this area would lead to accelerated wear of the affected contact elements.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist das zweite Steckverbindermodul ein Schiebeelement auf. Das Schiebeelement trennt, wenn das erste und das zweite Steckverbindermodul miteinander gesteckt sind, die elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den zwei In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second connector module has a sliding element. The sliding element separates, when the first and the second connector module are plugged together, the electrically conductive connection between the two
Kontaktelementen des ersten Steckverbindermoduls und der dazwischen angeordneten Federbrücke. Der Berührkontakt zwischen den Contact elements of the first connector module and the interposed spring bridge. The contact between the
Kontaktelementen und der Federbrücke wird aufgehoben. Contact elements and the spring bridge is reversed.
Vorzugsweise ist das Schiebeelement im zweiten Steckverbindermodul U- förmig ausgebildet. Durch die U-Form können die Enden der Preferably, the sliding element in the second connector module is U-shaped. Due to the U-shape, the ends of the
omegaförmigen Federbrücke gleichzeitig aus den Berührkontakt mit den zugehörigen Kontaktelementen gebracht werden. Durch die U-Form im zweiten Steckverbindermodul ist es außerdem möglich den omega-shaped spring bridge are brought simultaneously from the contact contact with the associated contact elements. Due to the U-shape in the second connector module, it is also possible the
Anschlussbereich der Kontaktelemente im ersten Steckverbindermodul zu erreichen. To achieve connection area of the contact elements in the first connector module.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das erste Steckverbindermodul zumindest zwei, vorzugsweise jedoch vier, Kontaktelemente aufweist, die als Buchsenkontakte ausgeführt sind. Dadurch kann das erste It is particularly advantageous if the first connector module has at least two, but preferably four, contact elements which are designed as socket contacts. This can be the first
Steckverbindermodul in einem so genannten Anbauflansch an einer Anlage und/oder Maschine angebaut werden. Da ein Anbauflansch im Gegensatz zu einem Steckverbinder weniger mechanisch belastet wird, weil er beispielsweise nicht herunterfallen kann, wird auch das erste Steckverbindermodul mechanisch geschont. Konsequenterweise weist das zweite Steckverbindermodul zumindest zwei, vorzugsweise jedoch vier, Kontaktelemente auf, die als Stiftkontakte ausgeführt sind. Connector module in a so-called mounting flange on a Plant and / or machine to be grown. Since a mounting flange is less mechanically stressed in contrast to a connector, because he can not fall, for example, the first connector module is protected mechanically. Consequently, the second connector module at least two, but preferably four, contact elements, which are designed as pin contacts.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das erste Steckverbindermodul zumindest eine Halteplatte aufweist, die die zumindest eine Federbrücke innerhalb des ersten Steckverbindermoduls fixiert. Diese Fixierung erfolgt idealerweise am Schnittpunkt der Symmetrieachse der Federbrücke. Das Federelement weist links und rechts vom Fixierbereich federelastische Arme auf, die jeweils gegen ein Kontaktelement andrückbar sind. It is advantageous if the first connector module has at least one retaining plate which fixes the at least one spring bridge within the first connector module. This fixation is ideally carried out at the intersection of the symmetry axis of the spring bridge. The spring element has on the left and right of the fixing spring-elastic arms, which are each pressed against a contact element.
Vorteilhafterweise übernimmt die Halteplatte eine Doppelfunktion. Die Halteplatte fixiert sowohl die Federbrücke als auch die beiden zugehörigen Kontaktelemente im ersten Steckverbindermodul. Dieser einfache Aufbau macht das erste Steckverbindermodul gleichermaßen robust und günstig herstellbar. Advantageously, the holding plate assumes a dual function.
