Häufig werden daher solche Steckverbinder mit einem abschirmenden Gehäuse versehen, welches einerseits die Verbinderkontakte für die Steckverbindung und andererseits den Anschluß der Adern des Kabels an diese Verbinderkontakte umschließt. Im Hinblick auf eine einfache und zuverlässige Montage werden vorzugsweise Schneidklemmkontakte verwendet, um die Adern an die Verbinderkontakte anzuschließen.In the case of data and / or telecommunications cables, shielding is important in order to prevent high-frequency signals from being emitted or high-frequency interference signals from being intercepted.

With a view to simple and reliable assembly, insulation displacement contacts are preferably used to connect the wires to the connector contacts.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Steckverbinder mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a plug connector with the features of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den ünteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are specified in the subordinate claims.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder ist das Gehäuse aus einer oberen und einer unteren Gehäuseschale zusammengesetzt, die vorzugsweise abschirmend und insbesondere als Metall- Druckgußteile ausgebildet sind. In die untere Gehäuseschale wird ein Kontaktträger eingesetzt, der die Verbinderkontakte für die Steckverbindung trägt. Weiter sind in dem Kontaktträger die Schneidklemmkontakte für den Anschluß der Adern angeordnet, die mit dem Verbinderkontakt leitend verbunden sind. In der oberen Gehäuseschale ist ein Ladestück befestigbar, welches Aufnahmen aufweist, in welche die Adern des anzuschließenden Kabels eingebracht werden. Die Montage des Oberteils und des Unterteils des Steckverbinders können getrennt durchgeführt werden. Das Kabel mit den Adern wird mittels des Ladestücks in dem Oberteil befestigt. Es müssen dann nur das Oberteil und das Unterteil zusammengefügt werden, was vorzugsweise mittels einer Schnappverbindung geschieht, um die in dem Ladestück angeordneten Adern in die Schneidklemmkontakte zu bringen und an die Verbinderkontakte anzuschließen.In the connector according to the invention, the housing is composed of an upper and a lower housing shell, which are preferably shielding and in particular designed as metal die-cast parts. A contact carrier is used in the lower housing shell, which carries the connector contacts for the plug connection. Furthermore, the insulation displacement contacts for the connection of the wires, which are conductively connected to the connector contact, are arranged in the contact carrier. A charging piece can be fastened in the upper housing shell, which has receptacles into which the wires of the cable to be connected are inserted. The assembly of the upper part and the lower part of the connector can be carried out separately. The cable with the wires is fastened in the upper part by means of the charging piece. It is then only necessary to join the upper part and the lower part, which is preferably done by means of a snap connection in order to bring the wires arranged in the charging piece into the insulation displacement contacts and to connect them to the connector contacts.
Der Steckverbinder ist einfach aufgebaut und ist entsprechend in der Herstellung und der Montage kostengünstig. Besonders vorteilhaft wirkt sich für die Montage aus, daß das Kabel mit seinen Adern einfach in dem Oberteil des Steckverbinders montiert werden kann, während das Zusammenfügen von Oberteil und Unterteil zum Kontaktieren der Adern nach der Befestigung des Kabels an dem Oberteil erfolgt, wobei ein Herausrutschen der Adern aus dem Ladestück des Oberteils ausgeschlossen ist.The connector has a simple structure and is correspondingly inexpensive to manufacture and assemble. It is particularly advantageous for the assembly that the cable with its wires can simply be mounted in the upper part of the connector, while the upper and lower parts are joined together for contacting the wires after the cable has been fastened to the upper part, the slipping out Veins from the charging piece of the upper part is excluded.
Besonders einfach wird das Einsetzen der Adern des Kabels in das Ladestück in einer bevorzugten Ausführung, bei welcher ein Teil der Adern in Bohrungen des Ladestücks eingeführt wird, während der andere Teil der Adern in offene Rinnen des Ladestücks eingelegt und in diesen Rinnen geklemmt wird. Die Adern sind in dem Ladestück auf diese Weise in zwei Ebenen angeordnet. Das Ladestück ist daher stufenförmig ausgebildet und die Schneidklemmkontakte sind entsprechend dieser Stufen gegenseitig in Richtung der Längsachse der Adern gegeneinander ver- setzt. Dadurch ergibt sich ein kompakter Aufbau des Ladestücks .Particularly preferred is the insertion of the wires of the cable into the charging piece in a preferred embodiment, in which a part of the wires is inserted into holes in the charging piece, while the other part of the wires is inserted into open channels of the charging piece and clamped in these channels. The wires are arranged in two levels in the charging piece in this way. The charging piece is therefore of stepped design and the insulation displacement contacts are mutually offset in accordance with these steps in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the wires. puts. This results in a compact construction of the charging piece.
Vorzugsweise ist auch eine einfache und effektive Kontaktie- rung der Schirmung des Kabels dadurch möglich, daß in einem Teil des Gehäuses Schirmabnahmelaschen angeordnet sind, die sich beim Zusammenfügen von Oberteil und Unterteil federnd an der Schirmung des Kabels anlegen. Der Masseanschluß der Schirmung des Kabels an dem Steckverbinder erfolgt dadurch zwangsläufig beim Zusammenfügen des Steckverbinder-Gehäuses ohne daß zusätzliche Montagemaßnahmen notwendig sind.A simple and effective contacting of the shielding of the cable is preferably also possible in that shield removal tabs are arranged in part of the housing and resiliently rest on the shielding of the cable when the upper part and lower part are joined together. The ground connection of the shielding of the cable to the connector is thus inevitably when the connector housing is assembled without additional installation measures being necessary.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung sind die Schirmabnahmelaschen einstückig an einem Schirmblech ausgebildet, an welchem auch die Kontaktbügel für die Steckverbindung einstückig ausgebildet sind und ggf. auch weitere Kontakte für die Masseverbindung mit einer Montageplatte, in welche der Steckverbinder eingebaut wird.In an advantageous embodiment, the shield removal tabs are integrally formed on a shield plate on which the contact brackets for the plug connection are also formed in one piece and, if appropriate, also further contacts for the ground connection with a mounting plate into which the connector is installed.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Steckverbinder in Form einer Western-Steckverbinder-Buchse dargestellt. Es ist offensichtlich, daß die Erfindung in entsprechender Weise auch bei Steckverbinder-Steckern und bei anderen Typen von Steckverbindungen realisiert werden kann.In the exemplary embodiment, the connector is shown in the form of a Western connector socket. It is obvious that the invention can also be implemented in a corresponding manner with connector plugs and with other types of plug connections.
Der Steckverbinder dient zum Anschließen eines mehradrigen Daten- oder Telekommunikationskabels 10, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eines Kabels 10 mit acht Adern 12. Das Kabel 10 ist geschirmt, wozu insbesondere das Kabel 10 durch ein leitendes Schirmgeflecht 14 umschlossen ist.The connector is used to connect a multi-core data or telecommunication cable 10, in the exemplary embodiment shown a cable 10 with eight wires 12. The cable 10 is shielded, for which purpose in particular the cable 10 is enclosed by a conductive braid 14.
Der Steckverbinder besteht aus einem Oberteil 16 und einem Unterteil 18, die in der nachfolgend beschriebenen Weise aufgebaut sind und montiert werden. Aufbau und Montage des Oberteils 16 ist insbesondere in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigt, während Aufbau und Montage des Unterteils 18 insbesondere aus den Figuren 4 bis 7 hervorgehen.The connector consists of an upper part 16 and a lower part 18, which are constructed and assembled in the manner described below. The construction and assembly of the upper part 16 is shown in particular in FIGS. 1 to 3, while the construction and assembly of the lower part 18 are shown in particular in FIGS. 4 to 7.
Das Oberteil 16 weist eine obere Gehäuseschale 20 auf, die vorzugsweise aus einem elektrisch leitenden Werkstoff besteht und insbesondere als metallisches Druckgußteil, z.B. als Zink- Druckgußteil hergestellt ist. Die obere Gehäuseschale 20 besteht aus einer oberen Deckplatte 22, an welche rechtwinklig Seitenwangen 24 angeformt sind, so dass sich ein U-förmiges Kastenprofil ergibt. In dieses Kastenprofil der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 wird ein Ladestück 26 aus Kunststoff eingeschoben, wozu Führungsstege 28 innen an den Seitenwangen 24 ausgebildet sind, die in entsprechende Führungsnuten des Ladestückes 26 eingreifen. Im eingeschobenen Zustand rastet das Ladestück 26 mit seitlichen Rastfedern 29 in Aussparungen der Seitenwangen 24 ein.The upper part 16 has an upper housing shell 20, which preferably consists of an electrically conductive material and in particular as a metallic die-cast part, for example as a zinc die-cast part. The upper housing shell 20 consists of an upper cover plate 22, onto which side walls 24 are formed at right angles, so that a U-shaped box profile results. A charging piece 26 made of plastic is inserted into this box profile of the upper housing shell 20, for which purpose guide webs 28 are formed on the inside of the side cheeks 24, which engage in corresponding guide grooves in the charging piece 26. In the pushed-in state, the loading piece 26 engages with side catch springs 29 in recesses in the side cheeks 24.
Das Ladestück 26 weist im Querschnitt dasselbe rechteckige Profil auf wie der Innenprofilquerschnitt der oberen Gehäuseschale 20, wie in Figur 3 zu erkennen ist. Im Längsschnitt ist das Ladestück 26 stufenförmig ausgebildet. Ein an der Deckplatte 22 anliegender oberer Abschnitt 30 des Ladestückes 26 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge des U- förmigen Innenprofils der oberen Gehäuseschale 20. Ein unterer Abschnitt 32 ist in axialer Richtung kürzer ausgebildet, wobei die Stirnfläche dieses unteren Abschnittes 32 stufenförmig gegenüber der Stirnfläche des oberen Abschnittes 30 zurückgesetzt ist. Die hintere Rückfläche des Ladestückes 26 ist über dessen gesamten Höhe durchgehend. Die Höhe der Abschnitte 30 und 32 beträgt jeweils etwa die halbe Höhe des gesamten Ladestückes 26.The charging piece 26 has the same rectangular profile in cross section as the inner profile cross section of the upper housing shell 20, as can be seen in FIG. 3. In longitudinal section, the charging piece 26 is designed step-like. An upper section 30 of the loading piece 26 abutting the cover plate 22 extends essentially over the entire length of the U-shaped inner profile of the upper housing shell 20. A lower section 32 is shorter in the axial direction, the end face of this lower section 32 being stepped opposite the end face of the upper section 30 is set back. The rear rear surface of the loading piece 26 is continuous over its entire height. The height of the sections 30 and 32 is approximately half the height of the entire loading piece 26.
Das Ladestück 26 dient zur Aufnahme der Adern 12 des Kabels 10. Hierzu weist das Ladestück 26 in seinem oberen Abschnitt 30 vier in einer Ebene beabstandete nebeneinander angeordnete axial durchgehende Bohrungen 34 auf, in welchen vier der acht Adern 12 des Kabels 10 von der Rückseite des Ladestückes 26 eingeführt werden, wie dies am besten in Figur 2 zu sehen ist. Der untere Abschnitt 32 weist vier in Axialrichtung durchgehende Rinnen 36 auf, die gegen die untere Fläche des unteren Abschnittes 32 hin offen sind. Die Rinnen 36 weisen denselben gegenseitigen Abstand auf wie die Bohrungen 34 und sind in einer entsprechenden Position angeordnet. Die Rinnen 36 dienen zum Einlegen der anderen vier Adern 12, wie dies in den Figuren 1 bis 3 ersichtlich ist. Das Ladestück 26 weist in seinem oberen Abschnitt 30 Eintrittsschlitze 38 auf, die von der freiliegenden unteren Fläche des oberen Abschnittes 30 vor dem unteren Abschnitt 32 ausgehen und in den oberen Abschnitt 30 hineinführen und jeweils die Bohrungen 34 durchqueren. Entsprechend weist der untere Abschnitt 32 Eintrittsschlitze 40 auf, die von dessen unterer Seite ausgehen und jeweils die Rinnen 36 queren. Die Eintrittsschlitze 38 und 40 dienen in später beschriebener Weise zum Einführen von Schneidklemmkontakten .The charging piece 26 serves to receive the wires 12 of the cable 10. For this purpose, the charging piece 26 has, in its upper section 30, four axially continuous bores 34, which are spaced apart in a plane and in which four of the eight wires 12 of the cable 10 extend from the rear of the Charger 26 are introduced, as best seen in Figure 2. The lower section 32 has four axially continuous grooves 36 which are against the lower surface of the lower Section 32 are open. The grooves 36 have the same mutual spacing as the bores 34 and are arranged in a corresponding position. The grooves 36 serve to insert the other four wires 12, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 to 3. The loading section 26 has in its upper section 30 entry slots 38 which extend from the exposed lower surface of the upper section 30 in front of the lower section 32 and lead into the upper section 30 and each pass through the bores 34. Correspondingly, the lower section 32 has inlet slots 40 which extend from its lower side and each cross the channels 36. The entry slots 38 and 40 serve in the manner described later for inserting insulation displacement contacts.
Hinter dem U-förmigen Innenprofil der oberen Gehäuseschale 20, welches zur Aufnahme des Ladestückes 26 dient, ist die obere Deckplatte 22 dieser Gehäuseschale 20 verstärkt und mit einer in Längsrichtung verlaufenden mittigen Mulde 42 ausgebildet, in welche das Kabel 10 eingelegt wird. An dem rückwärtigen Ende ist oberhalb der Mulde 42 in axialer Verlängerung der Gehäuseschale 20 ein T-förmiger Ansatz 44 angeformt.Behind the U-shaped inner profile of the upper housing shell 20, which serves to hold the charging piece 26, the upper cover plate 22 of this housing shell 20 is reinforced and is formed with a longitudinally extending central trough 42, into which the cable 10 is inserted. At the rear end, a T-shaped projection 44 is formed above the trough 42 in the axial extension of the housing shell 20.
Die Montage des Oberteil 16 des Steckverbinders geschieht in folgender Weise:The upper part 16 of the connector is assembled in the following way:
Zunächst werden die Adern 12 des Kabels 10 freigelegt. Weiter wird im Anschluß an die freigelegten Adern 12 die äußere Isolation des Kabels 10 entfernt, so dass über eine gewisse Länge das Schirmgeflecht 14 freigelegt ist. Nun werden vier der Adern 12 in die Bohrungen 34 des Ladestücks 26 eingeführt und anschließend die restlichen vier Adern 12 in die Rinnen 36 eingelegt, wobei innen vorspringende Rippen 37 dieser Rinnen 36 die Adern 12 geklemmt halten. Anschließend wird das auf diese Weise mit dem Kabel 10 verbundene Ladestück 26 von der vorderen Stirnseite her mittels der Führungsstege 28 in die obere Gehäuseschale 20 eingeschoben und mittels der Rastfedern 29 verrastet. Das Kabel 10 mit seinem freigelegten Schirmgeflecht 14 kommt dabei in der Mulde 42 zu liegen. Anschließend wird ein Kabelbinder 46 um das Kabel 10 und den T-förmigen Ansatz 44 gelegt und festgezogen, so dass das Kabel 10 mit dem Ladestück 26 in der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 fest montiert und zugentlastet ist. Das Schirmgeflecht 14 liegt dabei im Bereich der Mulde 42 in leitender Berührung mit der metallischen oberen Gehäuseschale 20. Anschließend werden die vorderen aus den Bohrungen 34 bzw. den Rinnen 36 herausstehenden Enden der Adern 12 abgeschnitten, so dass das Oberteil 16 des Steckverbinders vollständig montiert ist, wie dies die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen .First, the wires 12 of the cable 10 are exposed. Furthermore, the outer insulation of the cable 10 is removed after the exposed wires 12, so that the braided shield 14 is exposed over a certain length. Now four of the wires 12 are inserted into the bores 34 of the loading piece 26 and then the remaining four wires 12 are inserted into the grooves 36, with projecting ribs 37 of these grooves 36 holding the wires 12 clamped. Then the charger 26 connected in this way to the cable 10 is removed from the front end side inserted into the upper housing shell 20 by means of the guide webs 28 and locked in place by means of the detent springs 29. The cable 10 with its exposed braid 14 comes to rest in the trough 42. A cable tie 46 is then placed around the cable 10 and the T-shaped extension 44 and tightened, so that the cable 10 with the charging piece 26 is firmly mounted in the upper housing shell 20 and is relieved of strain. The braided shield 14 lies in the region of the trough 42 in conductive contact with the metallic upper housing shell 20. Then the front ends of the wires 12 protruding from the bores 34 or the grooves 36 are cut off, so that the upper part 16 of the plug connector is completely assembled , as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
Aufbau und Montage des Unterteils 18 wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 4 bis 7 erläutert.Structure and assembly of the lower part 18 is explained below with reference to Figures 4 to 7.
Das Unterteil 18 weist eine untere Gehäuseschale 48 auf, die in gleicher Weise wie die obere Gehäuseschale 20 metallisch leitend ist und vorzugsweise als Metall-Druckgußteil, insbesondere als Zink-Druckgußteil, gefertigt wird. Die untere Gehäuseschale 48 ist kastenförmig in der Weise ausgebildet, daß sie durch die obere Gehäuseschale 20 zu einem geschlossenen abschirmenden Gehäuse ergänzt wird. Die Form der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 ist am deutlichsten in Figur 4 zu erkennen. Die untere Gehäuseschale .48 weist eine untere Bodenplatte 50 auf, an welcher rechtwinklig nach oben führende Seitenwangen 52 angeformt sind. In den Seitenwangen 52 sind Ausschnitte 54 vorgesehen, die in der Form den Seitenwangen 24 der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 entsprechen. Im vorderen Bereich ist die untere Gehäuseschale 48 auch an der Oberseite geschlossen. In der vorderen Stirnfläche der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 ist eine Einstecköffnung 56 ausgespart, die zum Einstecken eines We- stern-Steckers dient. In die untere Gehäuseschale 48 wird von der Hinterseite axial ein Kontaktträger 58 aus Kunststoff eingeschoben. Die Breite des Kontaktträgers 58 entspricht der Breite des Innenquerschnitts der Gehäuseschale 48. In seinem vorderen Bereich weist der Kontaktträger 58 acht nebeneinander angeordnete Verbinderkontakte 60 auf. Ist der Kontaktträger 58 vollständig in die untere Gehäuseschale 48 eingeschoben, wie dies in Figur 6 gezeigt ist, so liegen die Verbinderkontakte 60 in herkömmlicher Weise hinter der Einstecköffnung 56, um einen in diese Einstecköffnung 56 eingesteckten Western-Stecker zu kontaktieren. Im hinteren Bereich ist der Kontaktträger 58 in einer der stufenförmigen Ausbildung des Ladestückes 26 korrespondierenden Form stufenförmig ausgebildet. In diesem Bereich trägt der Kontaktträger 58 an seiner Oberseite zwei Reihen von nebeneinander angeordneten Schneidklemmkontakten 62. Jeder dieser Schneidklemmkontakte 62 ist leitend mit einem der Verbinderkontakte 60 verbunden. Die Schneidklemmkontakte 62 sind auf der abgestuften Oberseite des Kontaktträgers 58 so angeordnet, daß sie beim Aufsetzen des Ladestückes 26 auf den Kontaktträger 58 in die Eintrittsschlitze 38 bzw. 40 des Ladestückes 26 eindringen .The lower part 18 has a lower housing shell 48 which is metallically conductive in the same way as the upper housing shell 20 and is preferably manufactured as a metal die-cast part, in particular as a zinc die-cast part. The lower housing shell 48 is box-shaped in such a way that it is supplemented by the upper housing shell 20 to form a closed shielding housing. The shape of the lower housing shell 48 can be seen most clearly in FIG. 4. The lower housing shell .48 has a lower base plate 50, on which side cheeks 52 leading upwards at right angles are formed. Cutouts 54 are provided in the side cheeks 52, the shape of which corresponds to the side cheeks 24 of the upper housing shell 20. In the front area, the lower housing shell 48 is also closed on the top. In the front end face of the lower housing shell 48, an insertion opening 56 is recessed, which is used for inserting a Western connector. A contact carrier 58 made of plastic is axially inserted into the lower housing shell 48 from the rear. The width of the contact carrier 58 corresponds to the width of the inner cross section of the housing shell 48. In its front region, the contact carrier 58 has eight connector contacts 60 arranged next to one another. If the contact carrier 58 is pushed completely into the lower housing shell 48, as shown in FIG. 6, the connector contacts 60 are in a conventional manner behind the insertion opening 56 in order to contact a western plug inserted into this insertion opening 56. In the rear area, the contact carrier 58 is designed in a step-like manner in a shape corresponding to the step-like configuration of the charging piece 26. In this area, the contact carrier 58 carries on its upper side two rows of insulation displacement contacts 62 arranged next to one another. Each of these insulation displacement contacts 62 is conductively connected to one of the connector contacts 60. The insulation displacement contacts 62 are arranged on the stepped upper side of the contact carrier 58 such that they penetrate into the inlet slots 38 and 40 of the charging member 26 when the charging member 26 is placed on the contact carrier 58.
Der Kontaktkörper 58 aus isolierendem Kunststoff ist in ein Schirmblech 64 eingesetzt und wird zusammen mit diesem Schirmblech 64 in die untere Gehäuseschale 48 eingeschoben. Die Form und die Herstellung des Schirmbleches 64 ist in den Figuren 9 und 10 gezeigt.The contact body 58 made of insulating plastic is inserted into a shield plate 64 and is pushed into the lower housing shell 48 together with this shield plate 64. The shape and manufacture of the shield plate 64 is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.
Das Schirmblech 64 ist ein einstückiges Stanz-Biege-Teil aus einem leitenden Federmetall. Zunächst wird das Schirmblech 64 in der in Figur 9 gezeigten Form ausgestanzt. Aus diesem Stanzteil wird das Schirmblech 64 an den in Figur 9 eingezeichneten Biegelinien in die in Figur 10 gezeigte Form gebogen. Das Schirmblech 64 weist eine Grundplatte 66 auf, auf die der Kontaktträger 58 aufgesetzt wird. Aus der Grundplatte 66 ist in deren mittleren hinterem Bereich eine hintere Haltelasche 68 ausgestanzt und hochgebogen. Im mittleren Bereich der Längserstreckung des in Figur 9 gezeigten Stanzteils ragen beiderseits rechtwinklig Seitenarme 70 ab, die von der Grundplatte 66 rechtwinklig nach oben hochgebogen werden. Von diesen Seitenarmen 70 ragt jeweils eine vordere Haltelasche 72 ab, die von dem Seitenarm 70 nach hinten absteht und in dem in Figur 10 gezeigten gebogenen Zustand an ihrem Ende nach innen abgewinkelt ist. Der Kontaktträger 58 wird auf die Grundplatte 66 aufgesetzt, wobei die hintere Haltelasche 68 mit ihrem oberen parallel zur Grundplatte 66 abgewinkelten Ende den Kontaktträger 58 nach hinten abstützt und auf der Grundplatte 66 hält. Seitlich wird der Kontaktträger 58 zwischen den Seitenarmen 70 geführt und durch die nach innen abgewinkelten vorderen Haltelaschen 72 gegen eine Verschiebung nach vorn fixiert, wie dies aus Figur 4 ersichtlich ist.The shield plate 64 is a one-piece stamped and bent part made of a conductive spring metal. First, the shield plate 64 is punched out in the form shown in FIG. 9. The shield plate 64 is bent from this stamped part into the shape shown in FIG. 10 at the bending lines drawn in FIG. 9. The shield plate 64 has a base plate 66 on which the contact carrier 58 is placed. A rear holding tab 68 is punched out and bent up from the base plate 66 in the central rear region thereof. In the central region of the longitudinal extent of the stamped part shown in FIG. 9, side arms 70 protrude on both sides at right angles, which are bent upwards at right angles by the base plate 66. From each of these side arms 70, a front retaining tab 72 protrudes, which protrudes rearward from the side arm 70 and, in the bent state shown in FIG. 10, is angled inwards at its end. The contact carrier 58 is placed on the base plate 66, the rear holding tab 68, with its upper end angled parallel to the base plate 66, supporting the contact carrier 58 to the rear and holding it on the base plate 66. The contact carrier 58 is guided laterally between the side arms 70 and is fixed against forward displacement by the inwardly angled front retaining tabs 72, as can be seen from FIG.
An den Enden der Seitenarme 70 sind rechtwinklig nach vorne weisende Kontaktbügel 74 ausgebildet. Das nach vorne weisende Ende der Grundplatte 66 wird nach unten abgebogen und bildet eine an der Unterseite der Grundplatte 66 nach rückwärts gerichtete Kontaktfederlasche 76. Im hinteren Bereich des in Figur 9 gezeigten Stanzteils ragen von der Grundplatte 66 beiderseitig rechtwinklig Schirmabnahmearme 78 ab, die von der Grundplatte 66 rechtwinklig nach oben gebogen werden. Die oberen Enden der Schirmabnahmearme 78 werden nach innen gebogen und bilden muldenförmige, sich überlappende Schirmabnahmelaschen 80. Schließlich wird das hintere Ende der Grundplatte 66 rechtwinklig nach oben gebogen und bildet eine mit einem kreisbogenförmigen Ausschnitt versehene Schirmplatte 82.Contact brackets 74 pointing forward at right angles are formed at the ends of the side arms 70. The forwardly facing end of the base plate 66 is bent downward and forms a contact spring tab 76 on the underside of the base plate 66. In the rear region of the stamped part shown in FIG. 9, shielding arms 78 protrude from the base plate 66 on both sides at right angles, which extend from the Base plate 66 are bent upwards at right angles. The upper ends of the shield removal arms 78 are bent inwards and form trough-shaped, overlapping shield removal tabs 80. Finally, the rear end of the base plate 66 is bent upward at right angles and forms a shield plate 82 provided with a circular arc-shaped cutout.
Die Montage des Unterteils 18 wird nachfolgend anhand der Fi- guren 4 bis 8 erläutert. Zunächst wird in der beschriebenen Weise der Kontaktträger 58 auf die Grundplatte 66 aufgesetzt und zwischen der hinteren Haltelasche 68, den Seitenarmen 70 und den vorderen Haltelaschen 72 positioniert und an dem Schirmblech 64 fixiert. Die Kontaktfederlasche 76 ist dabei noch nicht abgebogen. Diese Situation ist in Figur 4 dargestellt. Dann wird das Schirmblech 64 mit dem Kontaktträger 58 von hinten axial in die untere Gehäuseschale 48 eingeschoben, wie dies Figur 5 zeigt. Dabei tritt die noch nicht abgebogene Kontaktfederlasche 76 durch einen Schlitz 84 der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 aus, der in der vorderen Stirnseite der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 oberhalb der Bodenplatte 50 vorgesehen ist. Ist das Schirmblech 64 mit dem Kontaktträger 58 vollständig axial in die untere Gehäuseschale 48 geschoben, so ergibt sich die in Figur 6 gezeigte Situation. Die Verbinderkontakte 60 des Kontaktträgers 58 befinden sich in der Steckeraufnahme der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 hinter der Einstecköffnung 56. Die nach vorn gerichteten Kontaktbügel 74 befinden sich beiderseits in der Steckeraufnahme hinter der Einstecköffnung 56, um die seitlichen Schirmkontakte eines eingesteckten Steckers zu kontaktieren. Die Schneidklemmkontakte 62 befinden sich in dem oben offenen Bereich der unteren Gehäuseschale 48. Die nach innen gebogenen Schirmabnahmelaschen 80 befinden sich hinter den Ausschnitten 54 im hinteren Endbereich der unteren Gehäuseschale 48. Die Schirmplatte 82 schließt die untere Gehäuseschale 48 abschirmend unterhalb der Schirmabnahmelaschen 80 ab. In dieser Position wird der Kontaktträger 58 mit der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 verrastet, wozu beiderseits an dem Kontaktträger 58 angeformte Rastvorsprünge 86 in Rastaussparungen 88 der Seitenwangen 52 der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 einrasten.The assembly of the lower part 18 is described below using the guren 4 to 8 explained. First, in the manner described, the contact carrier 58 is placed on the base plate 66 and positioned between the rear retaining tab 68, the side arms 70 and the front retaining tabs 72 and fixed on the shield plate 64. The contact spring tab 76 is not yet bent. This situation is shown in Figure 4. The shield plate 64 with the contact carrier 58 is then axially pushed into the lower housing shell 48 from behind, as shown in FIG. 5. The not yet bent contact spring tab 76 exits through a slot 84 in the lower housing shell 48, which is provided in the front end face of the lower housing shell 48 above the base plate 50. If the shield plate 64 with the contact carrier 58 is pushed completely axially into the lower housing shell 48, the situation shown in FIG. 6 results. The connector contacts 60 of the contact carrier 58 are located in the plug receptacle of the lower housing shell 48 behind the plug-in opening 56. The forwardly directed contact clips 74 are located on both sides in the plug receptacle behind the plug-in opening 56 in order to contact the side shield contacts of an inserted plug. The insulation displacement contacts 62 are located in the area of the lower housing shell 48 that is open at the top. The inwardly bent shield removal tabs 80 are located behind the cutouts 54 in the rear end region of the lower housing shell 48. The shield plate 82 shields the lower housing shell 48 below the shield removal tabs 80. In this position, the contact carrier 58 is locked with the lower housing shell 48, for which purpose locking projections 86 formed on both sides of the contact carrier 58 snap into locking recesses 88 in the side cheeks 52 of the lower housing shell 48.
Nach dem Verrasten des Kontaktträgers 58 und damit des Schirmbleches 64 in der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 wird die Kontaktfederlasche 76 an der vorderen Stirnseite der Gehäuseschale 48 nach unten und nach hinten abgebogen, wie dies Figur 7 zeigt. Die Kontaktfederlasche 76 weist in der gebogenen Form die Gestalt eines Dreiecks auf, welches sich einerseits an dem Schlitz 84 und mit dem freien Ende der Kontaktfederlasche 76 an der Bodenplatte 50 abstützt. Der Scheitel der dreieckförmig gebogenen Kontaktfederlasche 76 ist auf diese Weise gegen die Bodenplatte 50 hin federnd ausgebildet.After the contact carrier 58 and thus the shield plate 64 have locked in place in the lower housing shell 48, the contact spring tab 76 on the front end face of the housing shell 48 is bent downwards and backwards, as shown in FIG. 7. In the curved shape, the contact spring tab 76 has the shape of a triangle, which is supported on the one hand on the slot 84 and on the base plate 50 with the free end of the contact spring tab 76. The apex of the triangularly bent contact spring tab 76 is thus designed to be resilient against the base plate 50.
In der in Figur 7 gezeigten Darstellung sind somit sowohl das Oberteil 16 als auch das Unterteil 18 vollständig montiert. Es wird nun das Oberteil 16 in das Unterteil 18 eingesetzt, wobei die Seitenwangen 24 der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 in die Ausschnitte 54 der Seitenwangen 52 der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 eingesetzt werden. Die Seitenwangen 24 und 52 sind dabei an ihrer Umfangslinie abgestuft, so dass zwischen den Seitenwangen 24 und 52 keine von innen nach außen durchgehende Stoßfuge entsteht. In dem zusammengefügten Zustand werden die obere Gehäuseschale 20 und die untere Gehäuseschale 48 miteinander verrastet, wozu im hinteren Bereich seitlich an der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 Rastvorsprünge 90 angeformt sind, die in Rastaussparungen 92 im hinteren Bereich der Seitenwangen 52 der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 einrasten. Beim Aufsetzen des Oberteils 16 auf das Unterteil 18 dringen die Schneidklemmkontakte 62 des Kontaktträgers 58 in die Eintrittsschlitze 38 und 40 des Ladestückes 26 und kontaktieren dabei die Adern 12, die in den Bohrungen 34 und den Rinnen 36 des Ladestückes 26 angeordnet sind. Dadurch wird die leitende Verbindung zwischen den Adern über die Schneidklemmkontakte 62 zu den Verbinderkontakten 60 hergestellt.In the illustration shown in FIG. 7, both the upper part 16 and the lower part 18 are thus fully assembled. The upper part 16 is now inserted into the lower part 18, the side cheeks 24 of the upper housing shell 20 being inserted into the cutouts 54 of the side cheeks 52 of the lower housing shell 48. The side walls 24 and 52 are stepped on their circumferential line, so that there is no continuous butt joint between the side walls 24 and 52. In the assembled state, the upper housing shell 20 and the lower housing shell 48 are locked together, for which purpose locking projections 90 are integrally formed laterally on the upper housing shell 20 in the rear region, which engage in locking recesses 92 in the rear region of the side cheeks 52 of the lower housing shell 48. When the upper part 16 is placed on the lower part 18, the insulation displacement contacts 62 of the contact carrier 58 penetrate into the inlet slots 38 and 40 of the charging piece 26 and thereby contact the wires 12 which are arranged in the bores 34 and the grooves 36 of the charging piece 26. As a result, the conductive connection between the wires is made via the insulation displacement contacts 62 to the connector contacts 60.
Beim Aufsetzen des Oberteils 16 auf das Unterteil 18 wird außerdem das Kabel 10 mit seinem freigelegten Schirmgeflecht 14 auf die Schirmabnahmelaschen 80 gedrückt. Dabei ist das Kabel 10 mit seinem Schirmgeflecht 14 einerseits durch die Mulde 42 der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 abgestützt und wird andererseits gegen die federnden Schirmabnahmelaschen 80 gedrückt. Dadurch wird ein guter leitender elektrischer Kontakt einerseits mit der oberen Gehäuseschale 20 und andererseits über die Schirmabnahmelaschen 80 mit dem Schirmblech 64 hergestellt. Über das einstückige Schirmblech 64 wird die Schirmung einerseits an die Kontaktbügel 74 weitergegeben, die mit der Schirmung eines eingesteckten Steckers in Kontakt kommen. Zum Anderen wird die Schirmung einstückig an die Kontaktfederlasche 76 weitergegeben.When the upper part 16 is placed on the lower part 18, the cable 10 with its exposed shield braid 14 is also pressed onto the shield removal tabs 80. The cable 10 with its braided shield 14 is supported on the one hand by the trough 42 of the upper housing shell 20 and on the other hand is pressed against the resilient shield removal tabs 80. Thereby a good conductive electrical contact is established on the one hand with the upper housing shell 20 and on the other hand via the shield removal tabs 80 with the shield plate 64. On the one hand, the shielding is passed on to the contact bracket 74 via the one-piece shielding plate 64, which come into contact with the shielding of an inserted plug. On the other hand, the shielding is passed on in one piece to the contact spring tab 76.
In den Figuren 11 und 12 ist gezeigt, wie der Steckverbinder in eine Montageplatte 94 eingesetzt wird, die aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material besteht und auf Massepotential liegt. Die Montageplatte 94 kann beispielsweise die Frontplatte eines Patch-Panels oder die Montageplatte eines Gerätes sein.FIGS. 11 and 12 show how the plug connector is inserted into a mounting plate 94, which consists of an electrically conductive material and is at ground potential. The mounting plate 94 can be, for example, the front plate of a patch panel or the mounting plate of a device.
Die Montageplatte 94 weist einen Ausschnitt auf, welcher im Querschnitt dem Querschnitt des Steckverbinders und insbesondere der Frontseite der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 entspricht. An der Oberseite der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 sind angrenzend an deren stirnseitige Vorderkante zwei äußere Anlagevorsprünge 96 angeformt. In einem der Materialstärke der Montageplatte 94 entsprechenden Abstand nach hinten versetzt ist ein Gegenvor- sprung 98 auf der Oberseite der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 angeformt. Weiter sind an der Unterseite der Bodenplatte 50 in einem dem Gegenvorsprung 98 entsprechenden Abstand von der stirnseitigen Vorderkante der unteren Gehäuseschale 48 Anlagevorsprünge 100 angeformt. Der fertig montierte Steckverbinder wird in den Ausschnitt der Montageplatte 94 in folgender Weise eingesetzt. Zunächst wird die obere stirnseitige Kante der un¬ teren Gehäuseschale 48 in den Ausschnitt eingeschoben und so nach oben geführt, daß sich die Anlagevorsprünge 96 an der Vorderseite der Montageplatte 94 und der Gegenvorsprung 98 an der Hinterseite der Montageplatte 94 befinden. Dann wird die untere stirnseitige Kante der Gehäuseschale 48 von hinten in den Ausschnitt der Montageplatte 94 eingedrückt, bis die unteren Anlagevorsprünge 100 an der Rückseite der Montageplatte 94 anliegen. Dabei greift die Kontaktfederlasche 76 in einen Randausschnitt 104 des Ausschnittes der Montageplatte 94 und wird durch die Unterkante dieses Randausschnittes 104 gegen die Bodenplatte 50 gedrückt. Die Kontaktfederlasche 76 rastet dann mit beiderseits an der Kontaktfederlasche 76 ausgebildeten Stufen 102 vor der Montageplatte 94 ein, wodurch der Steckverbinder vollständig in dem Ausschnitt der Montageplatte 94 eingerastet und gehalten ist. Soll der Steckverbinder aus der Montageplatte 94 wieder gelöst werden, so muß lediglich auf der Rückseite der Montageplatte 94 die Kontaktfederlasche 76 von Hand gegen die Bodenplatte 50 gedrückt werden, so dass die Stufen 102 der Kontaktfederlasche 76 aus dem die.se Kontaktfederlasche 76 aufnehmenden Randausschnitt 104 herausgehoben werden.The mounting plate 94 has a cutout which corresponds in cross section to the cross section of the connector and in particular to the front of the lower housing shell 48. Two outer contact projections 96 are formed on the upper side of the lower housing shell 48 adjacent to the front edge thereof. A counter-projection 98 is formed on the top of the lower housing shell 48 at a distance offset to the rear corresponding to the material thickness of the mounting plate 94. Furthermore, 48 projecting projections 100 are formed on the underside of the base plate 50 at a distance corresponding to the counter projection 98 from the frontal front edge of the lower housing shell 48. The fully assembled connector is inserted into the cutout of the mounting plate 94 in the following manner. First, the upper end-side edge of the un ¬ direct housing shell is inserted into the cutout 48 and is guided upward such that the abutment projections are located at the front of the mounting plate 94 and the mating projection 98 on the rear side of the mounting plate 94 96th Then the lower front edge of the housing shell 48 from behind in the cutout of the mounting plate 94 pressed in until the lower contact projections 100 abut the rear of the mounting plate 94. The contact spring tab 76 engages in an edge cutout 104 of the cutout in the mounting plate 94 and is pressed against the base plate 50 by the lower edge of this edge cutout 104. The contact spring tab 76 then engages with steps 102 formed on both sides of the contact spring tab 76 in front of the mounting plate 94, as a result of which the connector is fully engaged and held in the cutout of the mounting plate 94. If the connector is to be detached from the mounting plate 94 again, the contact spring tab 76 only has to be pressed by hand against the base plate 50 on the rear side of the mounting plate 94, so that the steps 102 of the contact spring tab 76 from the edge cutout 104 accommodating this contact spring tab 76 be lifted out.
Im montierten Zustand drückt die Kontaktfederlasche 76 des Schirmbleches 64 federnd gegen die Unterkante des Ausschnittes der Montageplatte 94 und stellt somit einen guten Massekontakt des Schirmbleches 64 her, wodurch auch der Massekontakt mit dem Schirmgeflecht 14 des Kabels 10 und einem eingesteckten Stecker hergestellt wird. In the assembled state, the contact spring tab 76 of the shield plate 64 presses resiliently against the lower edge of the cutout of the mounting plate 94 and thus makes good ground contact of the shield plate 64, as a result of which the ground contact is also made with the shield braid 14 of the cable 10 and an inserted plug.
