Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Steckverbinderanordnung, bestehend aus einem ersten Steckverbindergehäuse, in dem erste Steckkontaktelemente angeordnet sind, und einem zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse, in dem zweite Steckkontaktelemente angeordnet sind, wobei das zweite Steckverbindergehäuse aus einem Umgehäuse und einem Kontaktträgereinsatz besteht, die durch eine Dreh- oder Schiebebetätigung durch ein kraftverstärkendes Mittel gegeneinander verschiebbar sind, wobei der Kontaktträgereinsatz Aufnahmeöffnungen zur Aufnahme der zweiten Steckkontaktelemente aufweist, wobei das erste und das zweite Steckverbindergehäuse jeweils mindestens eine Gehäusewand besitzen, welche bei miteinander verbundenen Steckverbindergehäusen zueinander parallele Abschnitte aufweisen, und wobei zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse eine Dichtung angeordnet ist, die bei miteinander verbundenen Steckverbindergehäusen sowohl am ersten und als auch am zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse anliegt.The invention relates to an electrical connector assembly consisting of a first connector housing, are arranged in the first plug contact elements, and a second connector housing in which second plug contact elements are arranged, wherein the second connector housing consists of a surrounding housing and a contact carrier insert, by a rotary or Sliding operation by a force-enhancing means against each other are displaceable, wherein the contact carrier insert has receiving openings for receiving the second plug contact elements, wherein the first and the second connector housing each have at least one housing wall having mutually parallel sections with interconnected connector housings, and wherein between the first and the second connector housing, a seal is arranged, which in interconnected connector housings on both the first and the second Steckerge housing rests.

Eine derartige Steckverbinderanordnung ist aus der deutschen Patentschrift DE 10 2008 012 925 B4 bekannt.Such a connector assembly is known from the German patent DE 10 2008 012 925 B4 known.

Zum Verbinden der Steckverbindergehäuse eines derartigen Steckverbinders ist eine Fügekraft aufzubringen, die sich aus mehreren Anteilen zusammensetzt. Aufzubringen sind erstens Kontaktkräfte zwischen den ersten und zweiten elektrischen Steckkontaktelementen, wobei zur Herstellung einer sicheren elektrischen Verbindung zumindest die Steckkontaktelemente in einem der Steckverbindergehäuse federnd ausgeführt sind, sowie zweitens die Anpresskraft von Gehäuseteilen auf die Dichtung, welche zur Erzielung einer guten Abdichtwirkung komprimiert werden muss. Darüber hinaus auftretende mechanische Reibungskräfte zwischen den Steckverbindergehäusen können durch eine toleranzarme Ausbildung der Gehäuseteile gering gehalten werden und sollen daher im Folgenden nicht weiter betrachtet werden.To connect the connector housing of such a connector is a joining force to apply, which is composed of several shares. First apply contact forces between the first and second electrical plug contact elements, wherein at least the plug contact elements in one of the connector housing are made resilient to produce a secure electrical connection, and secondly the contact pressure of housing parts on the seal, which must be compressed to achieve a good sealing effect. In addition, occurring mechanical frictional forces between the connector housings can be kept low by a low-tolerance design of the housing parts and are therefore not further considered below.

Da bei Steckverbinderanordnungen die Summe der Kontaktkräfte mit der Anzahl der zu verbindenden Steckkontaktelemente ansteigt, werden besonders bei vielpoligen Steckverbindern mechanische Hilfsmittel zur Kraftverstärkung vorgesehen. So zeigt beispielsweise die DE 101 28 183 B4 zur Verbindung von vielpoligen Steckverbinderteilen eine Hebelmechanik. Da das Verbinden der Steckkontaktelemente zugleich mit dem Komprimieren der Dichtung erfolgt, sind die während des Fügevorgangs aufzubringende Kräfte recht groß, so dass für eine komfortable Handhabung eine möglichst große Hebelarmlänge erforderlich ist, was aber zur einer relativ großbauenden und sperrigen Hebelmechanik führt.Since in connector arrangements, the sum of the contact forces increases with the number of plug-in contact elements to be connected, mechanical aids for power amplification are provided especially in multi-pin connectors. For example, shows the DE 101 28 183 B4 for connecting multi-pole connector parts a lever mechanism. Since the connection of the plug-in contact elements takes place at the same time as compressing the seal, the forces to be applied during the joining process are quite large, so that the largest possible lever arm length is required for comfortable handling, but this leads to a relatively bulky and bulky lever mechanism.

Alternativ wurden sogenannte Nullkraftsteckverbinder entwickelt, wie sie etwa in der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2005 040 952 A1 beschrieben sind. An diesen werden die elektrischen Kontaktkräfte erst im letzten Teil des Fügewegs durch Verschieben von Spannhülsen an Buchsenkontakten erzeugt, so dass über den größten Teil des Fügewegs keine Kontaktkräfte aufzubringen sind. Eine radiale Kompression der Dichtung erfolgt durch das Zusammenfügen der Steckverbindergehäuse und überschneidet sich mit der Phase des Verschiebens der Spannhülsen, so dass diese letzte Fügephase eine erhebliche Betätigungskraft erfordert, die besonders bei vielpoligen Steckverbindern schwierig aufzubringen ist.Alternatively, so-called zero-force connectors have been developed, as for example in the German Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2005 040 952 A1 are described. At these the electrical contact forces are generated only in the last part of the joining path by moving clamping sleeves to female contacts, so that over the largest part of the joining path no contact forces are applied. A radial compression of the seal is made by the assembly of the connector housing and overlaps with the phase of displacement of the clamping sleeves, so that this last joining phase requires a considerable operating force, which is difficult to apply, especially in multi-pin connectors.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, in einer ersten Fügephase der Steckverbindergehäuse die Dichtung zusammenzudrücken und erst danach in einer zweiten Fügephase die Spannhülsen der Nullkraftsteckverbinder zu betätigen. Hierdurch werden die Kraft auf die Dichtung und die Kontaktkräfte der elektrischen Kontaktelemente nacheinander aufgebracht und damit voneinander entkoppelt. In der bereits erwähnten deutschen Patentschrift DE10 2008 012 925 B4 ist ein solcher Steckverbinder beschrieben, bei dem eine Spannhülsenmechanik über einen kraftverstärkenden Schieber betätigbar ist.Another possibility is to compress the seal in a first joining phase of the connector housing and only then to actuate the clamping sleeves of the zero-force connectors in a second joining phase. As a result, the force is applied to the seal and the contact forces of the electrical contact elements successively and thus decoupled from each other. In the already mentioned German patent DE10 2008 012 925 B4 Such a connector is described in which a clamping sleeve mechanism is actuated via a force-enhancing slide.

Bei den Steckverbinderanordnungen sowohl der DE 10 2005 040 952 A1 als auch der DE10 2008 012 925 B4 ist die Verwendung von sogenannten Nullkraftsteckverbindern erforderlich und vorgesehen. Nullkraftsteckverbinder sind jedoch aufgrund ihrer relativ komplex aufgebauten Spannhülsenmechanik recht kostenaufwendig.In the connector assemblies both the DE 10 2005 040 952 A1 as well as the DE10 2008 012 925 B4 the use of so-called zero-force connectors is required and provided. Nullkraftsteckverbinder are quite expensive due to their relatively complex design clamping sleeve mechanism.

Es stellte sich die Aufgabe, eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Steckverbinderanordnung zu schaffen, bei der die Erzeugung von Dichtungs- und Kontaktkräften entkoppelt ist.It has set itself the task of creating a particularly simple and inexpensive connector assembly in which the generation of sealing and contact forces is decoupled.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die zweiten Steckkontaktelemente gegen den Kontaktträgereinsatz unbeweglich angeordnet sind, dass der Kontaktträgereinsatz mit dem ersten Steckverbindergehäuse verrastbar ist, und dass durch eine Verschiebung des Umgehäuses gegen den Kontaktträgereinsatz die Dichtung zwischen den Steckverbindergehäusen axial komprimiert und dadurch radial aufgeweitet und an wenigstens eine innere Gehäusewand des Umgehäuses und an wenigstens eine äußere Gehäusewand des Kontaktträgereinsatzes angepresst wird.This object is achieved in that the second plug contact elements are immovably disposed against the contact carrier insert, that the contact carrier insert with the first connector housing can be latched, and that axially compressed by a displacement of the Umgehäuses against the contact carrier insert the seal between the connector housings and thereby radially expanded and is pressed against at least one inner housing wall of the Umgehäuses and at least one outer housing wall of the contact carrier insert.

Das Komprimieren der Dichtung erfolgt dabei erst nach dem vollständigen Zusammenfügen der elektrischen Steckkontaktelemente, die vorteilhafterweise hier keine Nullkraftsteckverbinder auszubilden brauchen und daher besonders kostengünstig herstellbar sind. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung einer Steckverbinderanordnung ist daher für Steckverbinder mit einer nicht allzu hohen Anzahl von zu verbindenden elektrischen Steckkontaktelementen vorteilhaft einsetzbar.The compression of the seal takes place only after the complete assembly of the electrical plug-in contact elements, which advantageously need not form zero-force connectors here and therefore are particularly inexpensive to produce. The inventive design of a connector assembly is therefore advantageously used for connectors with a not too high number of electrical plug contact elements to be connected.

Im Unterschied zu der aus der deutschen Patentschrift DE 10 2008 012 925 B4 bekannten Steckverbinderanordnung ist hier nach dem Zusammenfügen der Steckverbindergehäuse der Kontaktträgereinsatz feststehend mit dem ersten Steckverbindergehäuse verbunden und das Umgehäuse gegen die übrige Anordnung beweglich. Das Umgehäuse kann so durch eine Verlagerung des kraftverstärkenden Mittels in Richtung auf das erste Steckverbindergehäuse verschoben werden, wodurch die zwischen dem Umgehäuse und dem ersten Steckverbindergehäuse angeordnete Dichtung zusammengedrückt wird.In contrast to that from the German patent DE 10 2008 012 925 B4 Known connector assembly is here after the assembly of the connector housing of the contact carrier insert fixedly connected to the first connector housing and the surrounding housing movable against the rest of the arrangement. The surrounding housing can thus be displaced by a displacement of the force-amplifying means in the direction of the first connector housing, whereby the seal arranged between the surrounding housing and the first connector housing is compressed.

Hierbei wird vorzugsweise die Dichtung durch eine, bezogen auf der Steckrichtung der Steckverbindergehäuse, axiale Kompression radial aufgeweitet und gegen Wände der Steckverbindergehäuse gepresst, wodurch eine feuchtigkeitsdichte Abdichtung der Steckverbinderanordnung erreicht wird.In this case, the seal is preferably radially expanded by a relative to the plugging direction of the connector housing, axial compression and pressed against walls of the connector housing, whereby a moisture-tight seal of the connector assembly is achieved.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass durch das kraftverstärkende Mittel, welches bevorzugt als Drehhebel ausgebildet sein kann, eine erhebliche Kompression der Dichtung mit einem relativ geringen Kraftaufwand erreicht werden kann. Alternativ dazu kann das kraftverstärkende Mittel auch als ein senkrecht zur Steckrichtung linear verschiebbarer Schieber mit einer Führungsschräge ausgeführt sein, wie er aus der DE 10 2008 012 925 B4 bekannt ist. Bei dieser, hier nicht näher beschriebenen, Ausführung wird durch die Schieberbetätigung ein mit dem Umgehäuse gekoppelter Führungszapfen in der Führungsschräge bewegt.It is particularly advantageous that a considerable compression of the seal can be achieved with relatively little effort by the force-enhancing means, which may be preferably designed as a rotary lever. Alternatively, the force-enhancing means may also be designed as a perpendicular to the direction of insertion linearly displaceable slider with a guide slope, as he said DE 10 2008 012 925 B4 is known. In this embodiment, which is not described in detail here, a slide pin which is coupled to the surrounding housing moves the guide bevel in the guide bevel.

Die Figur 1 zeigt zwei miteinander verbundene Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 einer erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Steckverbinderanordnung, wobei allerdings das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1 weitgehend durch das zweite Steckverbindergehäuse 2 verdeckt ist und nur durch einzelne Elemente wie eine Rastnase 13 und einen Arretierhaken 18 erkennbar ist.The FIG. 1 shows two interconnected connector housing 1, 2 of an inventively designed connector assembly, however, the first connector housing 1 is largely hidden by the second connector housing 2 and only by individual elements such as a locking lug 13 and a locking hook 18 can be seen.

Details dieser Steckverbinderanordnung werden durch die Explosionsansicht der Figur 2 verdeutlicht. Die Steckverbinderanordnung besteht aus einem ersten und einem zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 und einer Dichtung 11, die nach dem Verbinden der Steckverbindergehäusen 1, 2 zwischen den Steckverbindergehäusen 1, 2 angeordnet ist und das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in die Steckverbinderanordnung verhindert.Details of this connector assembly are represented by the exploded view of FIG. 2 clarified. The connector assembly consists of a first and a second connector housing 1, 2 and a seal 11, which is arranged after the connection of the connector housings 1, 2 between the connector housings 1, 2 and prevents the penetration of moisture into the connector assembly.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 nicht dargestellt sind elektrische Steckkontaktelemente 3, 4, die aber in den Schnittansichten der Figuren 3 und 4 sowie teilweise in der Figur 5 erkennbar sind. Im hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1 elektrische Kontaktstifte 3 und das zweite Steckverbindergehäuse 2 elektrische Buchsenkontakte 4 auf. Diese Zuordnung ist aber rein beispielhaft und kann auch ohne Weiteres umgekehrt werden.In the FIGS. 1 and 2 are not shown electrical plug contact elements 3, 4, but in the sectional views of Figures 3 and 4 as well as partly in the FIG. 5 are recognizable. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the first connector housing 1 has electrical contact pins 3 and the second connector housing 2 has electrical socket contacts 4. This assignment is purely exemplary and can be reversed without further notice.

Wie die Figur 2 weiter zeigt, besitzt das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1 eine umlaufend geschlossene Mantelfläche 25, an deren Außenseite eine Rastnase 13 angeformt ist. Eine Stirnseite des ersten Steckverbindergehäuses 1 weist eine Einschuböffnung 24 auf. An der umlaufenden Gehäusekante 21 der Stirnseite liegt nach erfolgtem Verbinden der Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 die ringförmige Dichtung 11 an.As the FIG. 2 shows further, the first connector housing 1 has a circumferentially closed lateral surface 25, on the outside of a locking lug 13 is formed. An end face of the first connector housing 1 has an insertion opening 24. At the circumferential housing edge 21 of the front side is after the connection of the connector housing 1, 2, the annular seal 11 at.

Das zweite Steckverbindergehäuse 2 ist aus drei Gehäuseteilen zusammengesetzt und besteht aus einem Kontaktträgereinsatz 6, einem Umgehäuse 5 und einem Drehhebel 7. An dem Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 sind Aufnahmeöffnungen 8 erkennbar, in die - hier nicht dargestellte - Buchsenkontakte einfügbar sind. Zudem ist am Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 ein Rasthebel 12 angeformt, der nach dem Verbinden der Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 mit der Rastnase 13 am ersten Steckverbindergehäuse 1 eine Rastverbindung herstellt. Des Weiteren sind an den Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 zwei zueinander fluchtend ausgerichtete Lagerstifte 16 angeformt.The second connector housing 2 is composed of three housing parts and consists of a contact carrier insert 6, a Enclosure 5 and a rotary lever 7. At the contact support insert 6 receiving openings 8 can be seen, in which - not shown - socket contacts are inserted. In addition, a latching lever 12 is integrally formed on the contact carrier insert 6, which produces a latching connection after connecting the connector housing 1, 2 with the locking lug 13 on the first connector housing 1. Furthermore, two mutually aligned bearing pins 16 are integrally formed on the contact carrier insert 6.

Zur Vormontage des zweiten Steckverbindergehäuses 2 wird das Umgehäuse 5 über den Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 geschoben, wonach die Lagerstifte 16 des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 aus einer Ausnehmung 22 des Umgehäuses 5 herausragen. Mit den Lagerstiften 16 wird danach der bügelförmige Drehhebel 7 verschwenkbar verbunden. In zueinander parallele Seitenflächen des Drehhebels 7 sind Führungsbahnen 17 eingeformt, in die am Umgehäuse 5 angeformte Führungsstifte 15 eingesetzt werden. Bei einem Verschwenken des Drehhebels 7 um die Lagerstifte 16 bewegen sich die Führungsstifte 15 entlang der Führungsbahnen 17, wodurch sich der Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 und das Umgehäuse 5 relativ zueinander verschieben.For pre-assembly of the second connector housing 2, the surrounding housing 5 is pushed over the contact carrier insert 6, after which the bearing pins 16 of the contact carrier insert 6 protrude from a recess 22 of the surrounding housing 5. With the bearing pins 16, the bow-shaped rotary lever 7 is then pivotally connected. In mutually parallel side surfaces of the rotary lever 7 guideways 17 are formed, are used in the integrally formed on the housing 5 guide pins 15. Upon pivoting of the rotary lever 7 about the bearing pins 16, the guide pins 15 move along the guideways 17, whereby the contact carrier insert 6 and the surrounding housing 5 move relative to each other.

Über den Gehäusekörper des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 wird die ringförmige Dichtung 11 geschoben, die danach an einem taillierten Abschnitt 26 des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 anliegt, wobei die Dichtung 11 an einer Kante 28 im Übergangsbereich zum Abschnitt 26 abgestützt wird.Over the housing body of the contact carrier insert 6, the annular seal 11 is pushed, which thereafter bears against a waisted portion 26 of the contact carrier insert 6, wherein the seal 11 is supported on an edge 28 in the transition region to the section 26.

Zum Verbinden des ersten Steckverbindergehäuse 1 mit dem zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse 2 wird der Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 in die Einschuböffnung 24 des ersten Steckverbindergehäuses 1 eingesetzt. Ein momentaner Zustand dieser Montagephase ist in der Figur 5 dargestellt. In der Schnittansicht ist erkennbar, dass der Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 in das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1 eingeschoben ist, aber noch nicht dessen Bodenfläche 27 erreicht hat, so dass noch ein Teilstück eines zum ersten Steckverbindergehäuse 1 gehörenden Steckkontaktelements 3 erkennbar ist. Das Umgehäuse 5 übergreift mit seiner Innenfläche einen Teil der Mantelfläche 25 des ersten Steckverbindergehäuses 1. An der Innenseite des Umgehäuses 5 ist die Dichtung 11 erkennbar.For connecting the first connector housing 1 to the second connector housing 2, the contact carrier insert 6 is inserted into the insertion opening 24 of the first connector housing 1. A momentary state of this assembly phase is in the FIG. 5 shown. In the sectional view can be seen that the contact carrier insert 6 is inserted into the first connector housing 1, but has not yet reached its bottom surface 27, so that still a portion of the first Connector housing 1 belonging plug contact element 3 can be seen. The surrounding housing 5 engages with its inner surface a part of the lateral surface 25 of the first connector housing 1. On the inside of the outer housing 5, the seal 11 can be seen.

Beim weiteren Zusammenfügen des ersten und des zweiten Steckverbindergehäuses 1, 2 erreicht schließlich die untere Stirnfläche des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 die Bodenfläche 27 des ersten Steckverbindergehäuses 1, wodurch der in der Figur 6 dargestellte Montagezustand hergestellt ist. Dabei verrastet der mit dem Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 verbundene federnde Rasthebel 12 an der Rastnase 13 des ersten Steckverbindergehäuses 1, wodurch der Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 nun am ersten Steckverbindergehäuse 1 fixiert ist.Upon further assembly of the first and the second connector housing 1, 2 finally reaches the lower end face of the contact carrier insert 6, the bottom surface 27 of the first connector housing 1, whereby the in the FIG. 6 shown assembly state is made. In this case, the resilient engagement lever 12 connected to the contact carrier insert 6 latches on the latching lug 13 of the first connector housing 1, as a result of which the contact carrier insert 6 is now fixed on the first connector housing 1.

Während dieser Fügephase sind, außer einer geringen Kraft zum Verschwenken des federnden Rasthebels 12, lediglich die Kontaktkräfte der ersten und zweiten Steckkontaktelemente 3,4 aufzubringen. Die Steckkontaktelemente 3, 4 sind andeutungsweise in den Figuren 3 und 4 erkennbar. Die Figur 3 stellt hierbei in einer weiteren Schnittansicht den gleichen Montagezustand wie die Figur 6 dar.During this joining phase, except for a small force for pivoting the resilient locking lever 12, only apply the contact forces of the first and second plug contact elements 3.4. The plug contact elements 3, 4 are hinted in the Figures 3 and 4 recognizable. The FIG. 3 here represents in a further sectional view the same mounting state as the FIG. 6 represents.

Die zum ersten Steckverbindergehäuse 1 gehörenden Steckkontaktelemente 3 sind in der Figur 3 als Kontaktstifte dargestellt, während die zum zweiten Steckverbindergehäuse 2 gehörenden Steckkontaktelemente 4 Buchsenkontakte ausbilden, welche jeweils mit einer Anschlussleitung 19 verbunden sind. Um die Anschlussleitungen 19 herum ist in den Aufnahmeöffnungen 8 jeweils ein Dichtgummi 20 angeordnet, welches das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in die Steckverbinderanordnung über den Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 verhindert.Belonging to the first connector housing 1 plug contact elements 3 are in the FIG. 3 shown as contact pins, while belonging to the second connector housing 2 plug-in contact elements form 4 socket contacts, which are each connected to a connecting line 19. Around the connecting leads 19, a sealing rubber 20 is arranged in the receiving openings 8, which prevents the penetration of moisture into the plug connector arrangement via the contact carrier insert 6.

Während des Einschiebens des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 in das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1 bewirkt die Dichtung 11 keinen Beitrag zu der aufzubringenden Fügekraft, da wie die Figuren 5, 6 und besonders deutlich die Figur 3 zeigen, die Dichtung 11 in dieser Fügephase nicht durch die Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 komprimiert wird. Die Dichtung 11 liegt zwar sowohl an Flächenabschnitten des Umgehäuses 5 als auch des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 an; da in dieser Fügephase aber zwischen diesen Teilen keine Relativbewegung stattfindet, ergibt sich an der Dichtung 11 auch keine Reibung, die einen Beitrag zur aufzubringenden Fügekraft liefern könnte.During the insertion of the contact carrier insert 6 in the first connector housing 1, the seal 11 causes no contribution to the applied joining force, as the FIGS. 5, 6 and especially clearly the FIG. 3 show, the seal 11 is not compressed by the connector housing 1, 2 in this joining phase. Although the seal 11 is applied both to surface portions of the outer housing 5 and the contact carrier insert 6; However, since there is no relative movement between these parts in this joining phase, there is no friction on the seal 11, which could provide a contribution to the joining force to be applied.

Das Belasten der Dichtung 11 mit einer Kraft erfolgt erst nach Abschluss des Zusammensteckens der beiden Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 und der damit verbundenen Steckkontaktelemente. Dieses geschieht durch das Umlegen des Drehhebels 7, dessen Ablauf in den Figuren 7 bis 9 an verschiedenen Zeitpunkten dargestellt ist.The loading of the seal 11 with a force takes place only after completion of the mating of the two connector housing 1, 2 and the associated plug-in contact elements. This is done by turning the rotary lever 7, whose expiration in the FIGS. 7 to 9 is shown at different times.

Durch die Bewegung der am Umgehäuse 5 angeformten Führungsstifte 15 in den Führungsbahnen 17 des Drehhebels 7 wird das Umgehäuse 5 gegen den Kontaktträgereinsatz 6 verschoben. Wegen der durch den Rasthebel 12 und die Rastnase 13 erfolgten Fixierung des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 am ersten Steckverbindergehäuse 1 verschiebt dabei sich das Umgehäuse 5 gegen das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1, wodurch die Dichtung 11 axial, das heißt in der Verbindungsrichtung der Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2, komprimiert wird. Die axiale Kompression bewirkt zugleich ein radiales Ausweichen der Dichtung 11, wodurch die Dichtung 11 fest gegen innere Gehäusewände 9, 10 gepresst wird.By the movement of the integrally formed on the housing 5 guide pins 15 in the guideways 17 of the rotary lever 7, the surrounding housing 5 is moved against the contact carrier insert 6. Because of the locking lever 12 and the locking lug 13 done fixation of the contact support insert 6 on the first connector housing 1 moves the surrounding housing 5 against the first connector housing 1, whereby the seal 11 axially, that is in the connecting direction of the connector housing 1, 2, is compressed , The axial compression also causes a radial deflection of the seal 11, whereby the seal 11 is pressed firmly against inner housing walls 9, 10.

Besonders deutlich in dies in der Figur 4 ersichtlich. Im Vergleich zu seiner Position in der Figur 3 ist das Umgehäuse 5 hier nach unten gegen das erste Steckverbindergehäuse 1 verschoben, wodurch die Dichtung 11 auf der Gehäusekante 21 des ersten Steckverbindergehäuses 1 aufliegt und an wenigstens eine innere Gehäusewand 9 des Umgehäuses 5 und an wenigstens eine äußere Gehäusewand 10 des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 6 angepresst ist.Especially evident in this in the FIG. 4 seen. Compared to his position in the FIG. 3 the surrounding housing 5 is here displaced downwards against the first connector housing 1, whereby the seal 11 rests on the housing edge 21 of the first connector housing 1 and on at least one inner housing wall 9 of the Umgehäuses 5 and at least one outer housing wall 10 of the contact carrier insert 6 is pressed.

Eine komfortabel aufzubringende Betätigungskraft zur Bewegung des Drehhebels 7 wird durch dessen kraftverstärkende Wirkung in eine relativ große Anpresskraft auf die Dichtung 11 umgesetzt, um eine gute Abdichtwirkung zu erreichen. Vorteilhafterweise ist dieser Ablauf zudem von den Vorgängen des Zusammenfügens der Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 und der Erzeugung der Steckkontaktkräfte entkoppelt.A comfortable applied actuating force to move the rotary lever 7 is implemented by the force-enhancing effect in a relatively large contact pressure on the seal 11 in order to achieve a good sealing effect. Advantageously, this process is also decoupled from the operations of assembling the connector housing 1, 2 and the generation of the plug contact forces.

Nach dem Umlegen des Drehhebels 7 verrastet dessen Betätigungsabschnitt 14 formschlüssig am Arretierhaken 18, wodurch die Krafteinwirkung der Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 auf die Dichtung 11 auch über die Drehhebelbewegung hinaus erhalten bleibt.After moving the rotary lever 7 whose operating portion 14 locked in a form-fitting manner on the locking hook 18, whereby the force of the connector housing 1, 2 is maintained on the seal 11 also beyond the rotation lever movement.

Wie die Figuren 7 bis 9 weiter zeigen, weist ein zum Umgehäuse 5 gehörender Kragen 29 an seiner Innenseite einen angeformten Vorsprung 30 auf, der in der in der Figur 9 dargestellten Endposition des Umgehäuses 5 die Rastverbindung zwischen dem Rasthebel 12 und der Rastnase 13 (umrandeter Bereich A) gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Trennen sichert. Zugleich blockiert der am Arretierhaken 18 eingerastete Betätigungsabschnitt 14 des Drehhebels 7 einen Griffabschnitt 31 des Rasthebels 12 (umrandeter Bereich B). Durch diese doppelte Verriegelung des Rasthebels 12 wird ein versehentliches Lösen der Steckverbindung sicher unterbunden.As the FIGS. 7 to 9 further show, a belonging to the surrounding housing 5 collar 29 on its inside a molded projection 30 which in the in the FIG. 9 illustrated end position of the Umgehäuses 5, the locking connection between the locking lever 12 and the locking lug 13 (rimmed area A) secures against accidental disconnection. At the same time blocked on the locking hook 18 operating portion 14 of the rotary lever 7 blocks a handle portion 31 of the locking lever 12 (bordered area B). By this double locking of the locking lever 12 accidental release of the connector is reliably prevented.

Zum Trennen der Steckverbindergehäuse 1, 2 ist zunächst der Arretierhaken 18 vom Betätigungsabschnitt 14 des Drehhebels 7 zu lösen. Erst nach einer Verschiebung des Umgehäuses 5 durch Zurückschwenken des Drehhebels 7 gibt der Vorsprung 30 die zwischen dem Rasthebel 12 und der Rastnase 13 bestehende Rastverbindung frei, die dann durch Druck auf den Griffabschnitt 31 des Rasthebels 12 gelöst werden kann.To disconnect the connector housing 1, 2, the locking hook 18 is first to be released from the actuating portion 14 of the rotary lever 7. Only after a displacement of the surrounding housing 5 by pivoting back of the rotary lever 7, the projection 30 releases the between the locking lever 12 and the locking lug 13 existing latching connection, which then by pressure on the handle portion 31 of the locking lever 12 can be solved.
