Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector having a connector and a mating connector that can be plugged together therewith, the connector having a housing in which several contact partners are arranged, which can be plugged together with corresponding contact partners of the mating connector, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • plug connections are known in principle.
  • a plug connector which has a housing in which several contact partners are arranged.
  • a contact partner is arranged in each case for an electrical conductor, for example soldered or crimped.
  • Each contact partner of the connector corresponds to a contact partner of the mating connector, so that the mutually corresponding contact partners establish an electrical connection when the connector is plugged together with the mating connector to form the connector.
  • the number of contact partners in the connector and the corresponding mating connector must correspond to the number of electrical conductors of the cable (or, if applicable, several cables). This increases the variety of parts as well as the assembly effort.
  • a generic well-known Connector is shown in Figure 1 and is explained in more detail below in the context of the description of the figures.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of making a generic plug connection simpler with regard to the assembly effort and of reducing the number of parts.
  • a potential element is arranged in the housing of the plug connector, which at least forms contact partners of the plug connector for part of the corresponding contact partners of the mating connector.
  • the invention relates to a plug-in connection designed as a separation point with an integrated ground potential distributor.
  • junction area can be covered without restrictions to the existing installation spaces or installation situations.
  • the variety of parts is reduced by the fact that the potential element is arranged in the plug connector and thus several electrical conductors are combined with regard to their electrical potential (such as a ground connection). This allows the number of electrical conductors on the line to which the connector is closed to be reduced, since a single electrical conductor (such as a ground conductor) is connected to several contact partners, which are formed by this potential element, with the contact partners of the Mating connector can be connected
  • the potential element forms a contact partner for exactly half the number of contact partners of the mating connector. This enables the greatest possible savings potential to be achieved in terms of the variety of parts and also the assembly effort.
  • the potential element is designed as a stamped grid.
  • this potential element and thus also the connector in which this element is arranged can be produced particularly quickly, easily and inexpensively. This is especially true when the housing is manufactured in a plastic injection molding process in which the lead frame is overmolded.
  • the housing and the lead frame can be produced as separate parts and then assembled together, for example by inserting and fixing the lead frame in the housing by means of locking, pressing, gluing or the like.
  • the housing of the connector is made of plastic and the potential element is encased by the plastic except for the area forming a respective contact partner.
  • the current-carrying areas of the connector in particular are protected from external influences and also from contact.
  • the potential element does not necessarily have to be completely encased, provided that there is sufficient clearance with regard to voltages and leakage currents.
  • the potential element has a separate contact partner that is not a contact partner of the mating connector.
  • the ground line is connected to the connector at this contact partner.
  • it is necessary that one of the contact partners of the connector is contacted with a corresponding contact partner of the mating connector in order to transmit the mass via the connector.
  • the connector from which the ground is branched especially the one with the largest cross-section, such as in an axle separation point
  • the plug connector with the potential element arranged in it can be arranged and fixed on a part of the vehicle, in particular a body panel. Once this has been done, the wiring harness is much easier to lay because it contains fewer electrical conductors. This results not only in cost, but also in weight savings.
  • FIG. 1 a plug connection, as far as it is shown in detail, is provided with the reference number 1.
  • This plug connection 1 is known as such and has a plug connector 2 and a mating plug connector 3 that can be plugged together therewith.
  • the plug connector 2 has a housing 4.
  • the mating connector 3 has a housing 5. Both the connector 2 and the mating connector 3 are each connected to the end of a line 6, 7.
  • a total of four lines 6, 7 are present in each case in FIG. 1, the number also being able to be larger or smaller.
  • Each line 6, 7 has an electrical conductor 8, 9 (each with a sheath) on the connector 2 side and electrical conductor 10, 11 (also each with a sheath) on the mating connector 3 side. More than two electrical conductors can be provided per line.
  • each electrical conductor 8, 9 or 10, 11 a contact partner 12, 13 or 14, 15 is arranged.
  • the respective contact partners 12, 13 of the plug connector 2 are plugged together with the corresponding respective contact partners 14, 15 of the mating connector 3.
  • Individual conductor seals 16, 17 may be present, with which the electrical conductors 8, 9 or 10, 11 are sealed against the housing 4 of the connector 2 or against the housing 5 of the mating connector 3 in order to achieve longitudinal watertightness.
  • a housing seal 18 can, but also does not have to be present.
  • Such a housing seal 18 is required when the connector 2 with its housing 4 is inserted into an opening of a mounting base 19 and is fixedly arranged there.
  • FIG. 1 it can be seen that the housing 4 of the connector 2 extends through the opening of the mounting base 19 and forms a receiving space for the mating connector 3.
  • the outer contour of the housing 4 of the plug connector 2 has locking tabs (in sections or completely circumferential) with which the housing 4 of the plug connector 2 can be fixed on the mounting base 19.
  • Other ways of fixing the housing 4 of the connector 2 on the mounting base 19 are also possible and are generally known.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plug connection 100 according to the invention based on some identical parts that the plug connection 1 according to FIG. 1 has.
  • this plug connection 100 there is a line 101 in each case, which also has an electrical conductor at the end of which a contact partner 12 is arranged.
  • This contact partner 12 of the connector 2 of the connector 100 corresponds to a contact partner 14 of the mating connector 3.
  • there is no second electrical conductor 9 (see Figure 1), but is in the housing of the connector 2 of the connector 100 a potential element 103 is connected to a line 102.
  • the second electrical conductors accordinging to FIG. 1, the electrical conductors 8 and their associated contact partners
  • the second electrical conductors are saved, so that the number of parts is reduced as a result.
  • the potential element 103 itself can either be electrically connected to the electrical conductor of the line 102 (for example by soldering) or it also forms a contact partner that is plugged together with a contact partner that is connected to the end of the electrical conductor of the line 102 .
  • the remaining contact partners of the connector 2 and the contact partners 104 of the mating connector 3 remain unchanged as shown in Figure 1 and are used independently of each other for signal or energy transmission, whereas the contact partners 14 of the mating connector 3, which have been plugged together with the potential element 103, all open the same potential (such as ground).
  • the contact partner which is arranged on the electrical conductor of the electrical line 102 and plugged together with the potential element 103, has the reference number 105.
  • the other elements of the plug connection 1 that are not directly related to the potential element 103 can also be present in the plug connection 100 according to the invention, but do not have to be.
  • the housing 4 of the plug connector 2 of the plug connection 100 can also be inserted into an opening in the mounting base 19 and preferably fixed there in a latching manner. It is particularly advantageous if the mounting base 19 is a body sheet of a vehicle, in particular in the area of axle cabling (for speed sensors, ABS sensors, actuators for damper adjustment and the like) or if the mounting base 19 is a part of an attachment, in particular a mirror, a Vehicle is.
  • Flinzu has the advantage of saving weight, especially in the area of axle cabling, when there are fewer electrical lines.
  • the plug connection described above in general or in the context of the exemplary embodiment can also be an interface that lies freely or is integrated into a cable duct, for example.
