Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector housing for an electrical connector having at least one passage to accommodate an electrical contact, having a first, rear housing part and a second, front housing part that can be connected to the rear housing part, there being arranged between the front and rear housing parts a locking slider, which has a preliminary latching position and a final latching position and can be moved between the positions by displacement perpendicular to the plug- in direction, the electrical contact being able to be introduced into the passage in the preliminary latching position and the electrical contact being locked in the final latching position.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for unlocking and locking a first part with respect to a second part, the first part having, in relation to the second part, a preliminary latching position and a final latching position, the first part having appropriate latching tabs and the second part complementary latching means .
  • the German Utility Model 89 05 583 discloses an electrical connector housing according to the above features.
  • the connector has two rows of passages, into which a multiplicity of electrical contacts may be introduced.
  • the electrical contacts are pin contacts. It is of course also possible to produce a corresponding arrangement for socket contacts. All the contacts that are introduced into the passages are locked in the connector housing by means of a locking slider, which can be displaced from a preliminary latching position into a final latching position.
  • the connector housing is composed of an insulating material.
  • the electrical connector housing is built up from three parts: a first, rear housing part, a second, front housing part and a locking slider located between them.
  • the passages to accommodate electrical contacts reach through all three parts and are narrowed by the locking slider when it is moved into the final latching position. Locking of the electrical contacts in the appropriate passage takes place by this means.
  • Means are provided for latching the locking slider. These latching means have two arms located opposite each other, which each have a latching tab and cooperate with complementary latching means on one of the housing parts.
  • the locking slider has a first shoulder. Pressure against this shoulder effects a displacement from the preliminary latching into the final latching position.
  • the locking slider has a second shoulder. This shoulder is made on a stirrup or bow, which connects the arms to each other close to their free ends. By means of pressure counter to the curvature of the stirrup on the second shoulder, the radius of curvature of the stirrup is enlarged and the arms, which are connected to each other by the stirrup, are spread.
  • the locking of the latching tabs with the latching means is opened and the locking slider is freely moveable.
  • the stirrup is, then, configured in such a way that pressure on the shoulder on the stirrup takes place in the direction in which the displacement of the locking slider from the final latching position into the preliminary latching position also takes place.
  • the pressure on the second shoulder on the stirrup therefore, not only is the latching opened but at the same time the locking slider is displaced from the final latching position into the preliminary latching position.
  • the latching means and latching tabs are constructed in such a way that they have sliding faces, which simplify the displacement of the locking slider from the preliminary latching position into the final latching position.
  • the arrangement for unlocking and the shoulders are arranged in the region of this vent. It is then possible for a screwdriver or another pin to be introduced through this vent or the opening on the corresponding other side of the connector housing, in order to exert a pressure on the shoulders.
  • the corresponding arrangement can be used both for a socket housing and for a pin housing.
  • the orientation of the stirrup depends in principle on the direction in which the displacement travel from the preliminary into the final latching position or vice versa is defined. It is particularly advantageous that both latches are released and the displacement is also carried out with a single action.
  • Figure 1 shows an arrangement of a collar, a socket housing and a pin housing the pin and socket having both having the arrangement according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a view of the pin housing from the plug-in face
  • Figure 4 shows a top view, from the cable end, of the pin housing, the locking slider being in the preliminary latching position;
  • Figure 5 shows a corresponding partial detail from Figure 4, the locking slider being in the final latching position;
  • Figure 6 shows a top view of a detail of the front housing part having latching means
  • Figure 7 shows a top view of the cable end of the socket housing
  • Figure 8 shows a cross-section through the socket housing along the line AD according to Figure 7;
  • Figure 9 shows a view, from the plug-in face, of the socket housing with the locking slider in the preliminary latching position;
  • Figure 10 shows a corresponding view with the locking slider in the final latching position
  • Figure 11 shows a top view of the rear housing part of the socket housing having latching means
  • Figure 12 shows a top view of a locking slider
  • Figure 13 shows a cross-section through a locking slider along the longitudinal line of symmetry; and Figure 14 shows an illustration of the collar.
  • Figures 2 to 6 relate to the pin housing.
  • Figure 2 shows a view from the plug-in face end.
  • Figure 3 a cross- section along the line AF as entered in Figure 2. It emerges clearly from Figure 3 that the pin housing 18 is divided into a first, rear housing part 2, the block, and into a second, front housing part 3, whose front end face forms the plug-in face.
  • the two housing parts 2, 3 can, for example, be latched to each other.
  • Located between the two housing parts is a locking slider 4, which serves to secure the contacts.
  • the contacts are introduced into passages 1, 16. It can be seen clearly that the passage 1 is considerably smaller than the passage 16, that is to say is suitable for a different contact.
  • the locking slider 4 can be moved from a preliminary latching position into a final latching position. Whereas the contacts can be inserted into the chambers in the preliminary latching position, they are locked in the passages 1, 16 in the final latching position of the locking slider 4.
  • the preliminary latching position of the locking slider 4 is illustrated in Figure 4.
  • the locking slider has at one end two arms 5, 6 located opposite each other, which extend substantially in the direction in which the locking slider 4 is pushed from the preliminary latching into the final latching position or vice versa, respectively.
  • Located at the free end of the arms is a latching tab 7, 8 in each case.
  • the latching tabs 7, 8 are in each case located on the side of the arms 5, 6, which face each other.
  • the locking slider 4 has a first shoulder 11 for the purpose of displacement from the preliminary into the final latching position.
  • a second shoulder 12 for the purpose of displacement from the final latching into the preliminary latching position is likewise provided.
  • the second shoulder 12 is located on a stirrup 13, which connects the free ends of the arms 5, 6 to each other.
  • complementary latching means 9, 10 are located on the front housing part 3 of the socket housing, in the region of the passage opening 22.
  • the latching means are constructed with mirror symmetry in relation to the direction of the displacement between the preliminary latching position and the final latching position of the locking slider, and two latching hooks are provided on each side.
  • latching hooks have faces 23 inclined with respect to the displacement direction and faces 26 perpendicular to the displacement direction.
  • the latching tabs 7 and 8 are correspondingly equipped with inclined and perpendicular faces. It is possible here for these inclined faces also to be, for example, of curved construction.
