Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug-in connector arrangement according to the preamble of Patent Claim 1.
  • a plug-in connector arrangement is disclosed in English Patent 1 491 217.
  • Such plug-in connector housings are applied chiefly in the automobile industry and are used there in large numbers. Furthermore, such plug-in connector housings have proved themselves wherever it is particularly important for the plug to be held reliably in the connector housing.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that all the contacts are at the same level inside the plug-in connector housing after the introduction of the secondary lock.
  • the aim of the measures according to the invention in particular of the staircase shape of the ridge of the secondary locking slider, as well as of the staircase shape of the upper wall of the opening of the housing is to enable the secondary locking slider to be pushed as far as into the position for latching without becoming canted, even if contacts project below out of the holding shafts into the opening for the secondary lock. This is so since the lower wall of the opening and the baseplate of the secondary lock have a spacing h, and in the final latched position the connectors are pressed into the holding shafts at the same level by the shoulder of the baseplate.
  • the plug-in connector housing 1 shown in Figure 1A has a secondary lock 4 which is inserted into an opening 3 perpendicular to the holding shafts 2 (dashed).
  • the secondary locking slider 4 has a baseplate 6 and a ridge 8, the height of the ridge decreasing in the plugin direction owing to plateaux 9 and dropping slopes 10.
  • the upper wall of the opening 11 has the same profile as the ridge.
  • the lower wall 12 of the opening is plane parallel with respect to the baseplate 6.
  • the baseplate 6 and the lower wall 12 have a spacing h in the position before latching (Figure 1A).
  • the secondary locking slider 4 By pushing in the secondary locking slider 4 at the widened part 18 along the slopes 10, the secondary locking slider executes a movement with a component parallel to the plug-in direction of the plug-in connectors, and in its final position the baseplate 6 rests on the lower wall 12.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-section through the plugin connector housing and the secondary locking slider in the position before latching (Figure 2A) and in the final latched position (Figure 2B).
  • the plug-in connector housing has holding shafts 2 into which contacts 20 can be inserted.
  • the secondary lock 4 has lamellae 8 and baseplates 6, which project with their shoulders 7 into the holding shaft.
  • the connector 20 is not locked in the primary position in the position before latching.
  • the connector 20 is pressed entirely into the holding shaft by the shoulder 7 of the baseplate 6 by pushing the secondary lock 4 into the final latched position.
  • the caulking springs 17 of the connector 20 engage behind the steps 16.
  • the connector 20 is now locked in the primary position, and all the connectors are at the same level in the housing because of the connector 20 being pressed down with the shoulder 7.
  • Figure 3 shows a side view with the side walls 13 of the plug-in connector housing, which have at least one link 14 into which it is possible for the bolts 15, which are mounted on the respective sides of the secondary lock 4, to move.
  • the bolts 15 are located, on the one hand, at the first end of the link in the position before latching and, on the other hand, in the final latched position at the other end of the link, the link being arranged so that the height h is traversed between the two positions.
  • Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the plug-in connector with its holding shafts 3 arranged in parallel in rows and columns like a matrix, so that the secondary locking slider has a plurality of baseplates 6 which extend in parallel and have ridges 8.
  • bolts 15 are arranged on the side walls of the secondary lock.
  • a further bolt 21 cooperates with a corresponding snap device 22 on the inner wall of the opening receiving the secondary locking.
  • the locking slider is equipped with a plurality of juxtaposed lamellae, of which only the two outermost ones can have on their outer sides bolts which engage with links in the side walls of the housing.
  • the risk therefore exists that the middle lamellae will bend upwards when being pushed into the channel.
  • the sloping faces formed in the channel roof, and those formed on the slider surface also help here to support the lamellae while they are being pushed upwards into the channel, with the result that the lamellae cannot be bent over or deflected in front of the contact pins.
  • the plug-in connector housing having a secondary lock permits the secondary locking slider to be inserted without any problem, even if not all the connectors are arranged in an accurately fitting fashion in the holding shafts and project into the opening for the secondary lock. Furthermore, all the connectors are at the same level in the final latched position after the engagement of the secondary lock.
