the socket has on the one hand electrical contact elements for producing an electrical plug connection with a first plug, which has a plurality of electrical contact elements in the form of plug pins, and in particular in the form of an XLR plug is formed.
XLR connectors are particularly common for audio applications and standardized accordingly.
the plug socket has corresponding electrical contact elements for producing an electrical plug connection with a jack plug.
a jack plug has a plug shank with a contact sleeve, which represents one of the electrical contact elements of the jack plug, and an electrically insulated from this contact tip, which also represents one of the electrical contact elements of the jack plug.
the jack plug between the contact sleeve and the contact tip have an electrical contact ring, which is another electrical contact elements of the jack plug.
the receptacle has corresponding insertion openings.
Conventional sockets of this type have a lock for the XLR connector, as is common with XLR connectors, to secure the XLR connector against accidental removal.
the plugged into the socket jack plug but only by a resilient element which engages in a constriction of the contact tip, locked.
a pull on the cable can result in a partial or complete withdrawal of the jack plug from the socket, with the corresponding interruption of the electrical contacts.
the object of the invention is to provide an improved socket of the type mentioned, in which the contact reliability is increased for an inserted jack. According to the invention, this is achieved by a socket with the features of claim 1.
a plug socket according to the invention therefore also has a locking device for the jack, wherein a locking extension of the socket engages in the inserted state of the jack plug in a constriction of the contact tip and is blocked by a locking part even with a train on the jack against squeezing out of the constriction of the contact tip.
the locking part on a contact surface, which rests in the blocking position of the locking member to a counter-contact surface of the socket.
This contact surface can be brought out of engagement of the counter-contact surface by at least the portion of the locking part, which has the contact surface, is displaced in the insertion direction. It is then released the locking part and thus also the locking extension for a displacement in the direction away from the central longitudinal axis of the socket.
This displacement is preferably against the force of a resilient element which holds the locking member in its locked position when no external force acts on the locking member.
the locking of the jack plug can advantageously be released by the same operating unit with which the locking of a plugged into the socket first connector part, which is preferably designed in the form of an XLR connector, is released.
the contact tip of the jack plug to the locking extension which is exerted on the locking projection and thus on the locking member connected to it with a force acting in the insertion force component.
the locking member is thereby displaced in the insertion direction and the contact surface of the locking member is disengaged from the counter-contact surface of the socket.

a sleeve-shaped portion 4 of the plug housing 5 surrounds these forming plug pins 2.
a locking recess 6 is formed, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment of the first connector 1 in the form of a window recess. It could also be a depression on the longitudinal axis 3 facing inside of the plug housing 5 may be present, which forms the locking recess.
the first plug shown is a plug according to the XLR standard.
Such XLR connectors are known with different numbers of poles, in particular from three to seven poles.
Such a jack plug 7 has a plug shank 8, which in any case comprises a contact sleeve 9 and a contact tip 10 which is electrically insulated from the latter and which form electrical contact elements of the jack plug 7.
the jack plug 7 is formed three-pole and between the contact sleeve 9 and the contact tip 10, a contact ring 11 is arranged, which is electrically insulated from both the contact sleeve 9 and the contact tip 10 and forms another electrical contact element of the jack plug 7 .
the contact tip 10 which is also referred to as a contact bulb, has a circumferential groove or constriction 12, as is common in jack plugs, wherein at the lowest point of the constriction towards the male end of the contact tip 10 a Slanted surface connects.
the plug-in end of the contact tip 10 is tapered, whereby a further inclined surface is formed.
the contact socket has on its insertion side or front side a central insertion opening 13 into which the plug shank 8 of the jack plug 7 can be inserted in a plug-in direction 14, further away from the central longitudinal axis 15 insertion openings 16, 17, 18 for the plug pins 2 of the first plug 1, wherein the insertion openings 16, 17, 18 directly connect to the central insertion opening 13 and partially overlap with this, and further an annular insertion opening 19 for the section 4 of the connector housing 5 of the first connector 1.

This contact carrier 20 forms in the illustrated embodiment, the housing of the socket. Outside are on contact carrier 20
Anschraubflansche. 21 is formed, with which the contact carrier 20 is mounted on the chassis of an electrical device.
an elastic locking arm 22 On the contact carrier 20 is an elastic locking arm 22 which has on its side remote from the central longitudinal axis 15 of the socket side a locking projection 23, fixed with its one end.
the locking projection 23 engages in the locking recess 6 in the section 4 of the plug housing 5 and thereby secures the first plug 1 against being pulled out of the socket, cf. Fig. 11 .
the locking projection 23 has a starting slope in a known manner.
the locking projection 23 is thus formed nose-shaped.
an actuating unit 24 is provided, which starting from a, for example in Fig. 3 and Fig. 11 shown passive position in the plug 14 is slidable until they have their in Fig. 14 achieved active position achieved.
an inclined surface 25 of the actuator unit 24 which cooperates with an inclined surface 26 of the locking arm 22, the Verriegetungsvorsprung 23 toward the central longitudinal axis 15, whereby it comes out of engagement with the locking recess 6.
the locking arm 22 which preferably consists of metal, extending in the illustrated embodiment, starting from its attachment point on the contact carrier 20 in the direction of the rear end of the socket. Instead, it could also extend in the direction of the insertion side of the socket.
the actuating unit 24 is slidably mounted parallel to the insertion direction 14 in a recess of the contact carrier 20 for displacement between its passive and active position.
the actuating unit comprises an operating part 28, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is at right angles to the longitudinal axis 15 of the socket, an actuating arm 29 connected to the operating part 28 and a separate transmission part 30 (the purpose of which will be explained below).
the operating unit 24 located in its passive position is secured in the embodiment shown by a cooperating with the contact carrier 20 stop member 27 against further displacement against the plug 14.
the electrical contact elements 31, 32, 33 for contacting the connector pins 2 of the first connector 1 are supported by the contact carrier 20 and formed in the embodiment shown in the form of fork contacts. These contact elements 31, 32, 33 are inserted from the back into corresponding recesses of the contact carrier 20 and lock in this.
Another electrical contact element 34 serves to make contact with the section 4 of the plug housing 5 by means of a contact tongue 35.
This contact element 34 is likewise inserted from the rear side into a corresponding recess in the contact carrier 20 and latched therein.
a tip 36 of the contact element 34 serves for contacting the chassis, on which the contact socket is mounted.
the socket further comprises a locking device for an inserted into the socket jack plug 7.
This locking device comprises a locking projection 37 which engages in the inserted state of the jack plug 7 in the constriction 12 of the contact tip 10.
This locking extension 37 is formed in the illustrated embodiment arcuate curved.
the locking device for the jack plug 7 comprises a locking member 38 which cooperates with the locking projection 37, preferably rigidly connected.
the locking projection 37 and the locking member 38 are integrally formed.
the locking part has a contact surface 39.
the locking member 38 is plate-shaped and the contact surface 39 is formed by the front edge of the plate-shaped locking member 38.
the contact surface 39 is disengaged from the counter-contact surface 40 and the locking member and thus the locking projection 37 are then compared to the position of the locking extension 37 and take the locking member 38 when the locking projection 37 engages the constriction 12 of the contact tip 10, further away from the central longitudinal axis 15 movable.
Such a displacement of the locking member 38 may be effected by the actuator unit 24.
a force component acting in the insertion direction 14 is also exerted on the locking extension 37 and thus on the blocking part 38, as a result of which the blocking part is displaced in the insertion direction 14 and its abutment surface 39 is disengaged from the abutment surface 40.
the further radially outward force component can then move the locking projection 37 and the locking member 38 in the direction away from the central longitudinal axis 15.
Fig. 13 is the state represented by the locking projection and the locking member 38 occupy when the jack plug 7 is inserted and the locking projection 37 just applied at the location of the largest diameter of the contact tip 10.
the locking member 38 When no external force is applied to the locking member 38, the locking member 38 is held by a fe-, elastic element 42 in its locking position.
This spring-elastic element 42 is formed in the embodiment shown by a bent in the unloaded state extending leaf spring. The one end of this bent leaf spring is in this case connected to the locking part 38 and the other end of the bent leaf spring is connected to a support member 43.
This support member 43 is supported by the contact carrier 20.
the support part 43 is preferably inserted into a corresponding recess of the contact carrier 20 from the rear side of the socket and latched to the contact carrier 20.
the locking member 38, the resilient member 42 and the support member 43 are rigidly connected to each other, in the embodiment shown, these parts are integrally formed.
the locking member 38, the locking extension 37, the resilient member 42 and the support member 43 parts of a metallic insert part, which is inserted into the contact carrier.
a further electrical contact element for contacting the contact tip 10 of the jack plug 7 is present, in the form of an outgoing from the support member 43 contact spring 44th This is located on the opposite side of the locking member 38 of the contact tip 10 of the jack plug 7 and represents another part of the insert part.
All electrical contact elements of the contact socket are led out at the back of the contact socket and have corresponding connection ends for producing an electrical contact with an electrical line or an electrical conductor track of a circuit board.
the separate transmission part 30 is used in the embodiment shown also for insulation and therefore consists of electrically insulating material, preferably plastic. If the transmission part 30 would be designed to be electrically conductive, interference from the outside, for example static charges, would directly reach the contact tip 10 of the jack plug when the control unit 28 was actuated and would lead to disturbing noises.
the actuating arm 29 and the transmission part 30 could also be formed in one piece. The electrical insulation between the actuator unit 24 and the locking device or contact tip 10 would then have to be carried out in another way.
