Definitions
- the invention is based on a plug for contacting a gas discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a connector is known from DE 43 10 307 A1.
- This plug contains at least one electrical interference suppression element, by means of which the electromagnetic radiation generated by the gas discharge lamp during its operation is prevented from spreading along the connecting lines connected to the plug.
- the plug has a housing made of electrically insulating material, in which the interference suppression element is arranged and which is filled with a potting compound made of electrically insulating material.
- the at least one interference suppression element and the casting compound have different thermal expansion coefficients.
- the interference suppressor and the potting compound heat up during operation of the gas discharge lamp, which is associated with a volume expansion, which, however, with the housing completely filled with the potting compound, leads to the interference suppressor being loaded by pressure, which is due to the latter Function and service life have a negative impact.
- the interference suppression element is rigidly connected to the housing via the sealing compound, so that vibrations are transmitted directly to the interference suppression element, which likewise has a negative effect on the service life of the interference suppression element.
- the connector according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that the at least one interference suppression element and the sealing compound can expand when heated to the elastically deformable mass, and thus the interference suppression element is not subjected to as much pressure.
- the at least one interference suppression element is decoupled from the housing and the sealing compound of the plug by the elastically deformable mass, so that vibrations of the plug are not transmitted directly to the interference suppression element.
- the at least one interference suppression element of the connector according to the invention has increased functional reliability and a longer service life.
