Definitions

  • 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.
  • a joining force to apply which is composed of several shares.
  • 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.
  • 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 Umgeophuses 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 Umgeophuses and at least one outer housing wall of the contact carrier insert.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the force-enhancing means which may be preferably designed as a rotary lever.
  • 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.
  • a slide pin which is coupled to the surrounding housing moves the guide bevel in the guide bevel.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the circumferential housing edge 21 of the front side is after the connection of the connector housing 1, 2, the annular seal 11 at.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • two mutually aligned bearing pins 16 are integrally formed on the contact carrier insert 6.
  • 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.
  • the bow-shaped rotary lever 7 is then pivotally connected.
  • guideways 17 are formed, are used in the integrally formed on the housing 5 guide pins 15.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the seal 11 can be seen.
  • FIG. 3 here represents in a further sectional view the same mounting state as the FIG. 6 represents.
  • plug contact elements 3 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • this process is also decoupled from the operations of assembling the connector housing 1, 2 and the generation of the plug contact forces.
  • 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 Umgeophuses 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.
  • 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.
