Weiterhin besitzt die Kammer eine Unterseite 23, von der sich mindestens ein Montage- und Justagefortsatz 4 (siehe Fig. 2) erstreckt, welcher eine Querschnittsform aufweist, die zu einer Öffnung im Verdrahtungsträger (nicht gezeigt) eines Endgeräts im Wesentlichen komplementär ist.Furthermore, the chamber has a bottom 23, of which at least one mounting and Justagefortsatz 4 (see Fig. 2 ) having a cross-sectional shape substantially complementary to an opening in the wiring substrate (not shown) of a terminal.

Innerhalb des vom Steckmodul 3 (siehe Fig. 3) besetzbaren Kammerbereichs sind elektrische Anschlussteile 6 durch die Unterseite 23 geführt, welche eine unmittelbare elektrische Verbindung zum Verdrahtungsträger gestatten. Die elektrischen Anschlussteile 6 bilden mit Innenkontakten 5 für den jeweiligen Steckmodul 3 eine Baueinheit.Inside of the plug-in module 3 (see Fig. 3 ) occupable chamber area electrical connection parts 6 are guided through the bottom 23, which allow a direct electrical connection to the wiring carrier. The electrical connection parts 6 form an assembly with internal contacts 5 for the respective plug-in module 3.

Bevorzugt sind die Innenkontakte 5 und die elektrischen Anschlussteile 6 als einstückiges Stanz-Biegeteil realisierbar.Preferably, the inner contacts 5 and the electrical connection parts 6 as a one-piece stamped and bent part can be realized.

Die Ausbildung des oder der Montage- und Justagefortsätze 4 kann so realisiert werden, dass der Sockel 1 nur polaritäts- und anschlussgerecht auf dem Verdrahtungsträger aufsetzbar ist.The formation of the mounting and alignment projections 4 can be realized so that the base 1 is only polarity and connection suitable placed on the wiring substrate.

Die elektrischen Anschlussteile 6 sind, wie in der Fig. 2 ersichtlich, als Lötfahnen zum direkten Verbinden mit Leiterflächen aus dem Verdrahtungsträger ausführbar.The electrical connection parts 6 are, as in the Fig. 2 can be seen as solder tails for direct connection with conductor surfaces from the wiring support executable.

Außerhalb des vom Steckmodul 3 besetzbaren Kammerbereichs sind an den gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten 21 Ausformungen 7 vorhanden, welche eine in der Unterseitenebene liegende Befestigungsfläche 8 umfassen bzw. in eine solche Befestigungsfläche 8 übergehen.Outside the chamber area, which can be occupied by the plug-in module 3, 21 formations 7 are present on the opposite narrow sides include a lying in the bottom plane attachment surface 8 and pass into such a mounting surface 8.

Die Befestigungsfläche 8 kann mindestens eine Bohrung 9 besitzen, um den Adapter bzw. den Sockel durch Nieten, Schrauben oder dergleichen auf einer entsprechenden Fläche zu fixieren.The mounting surface 8 may have at least one hole 9 to fix the adapter or the socket by rivets, screws or the like on a corresponding surface.

Gemäß Fig. 2 kann die Unterseite 23 einen zum Verdrahtungsträger offenen Hohlraum bilden.According to Fig. 2 For example, the underside 23 may form a cavity open to the wiring carrier.

In diesem Hohlraum kann eine weitere Kammer 10 ausgeformt werden, wobei die weitere Kammer 10 eine Fernmeldeschalteinrichtung 11 aufnimmt.In this cavity, a further chamber 10 can be formed, wherein the further chamber 10 receives a telecommunications switching device 11.

Die Fernmeldeschalteinrichtung 11 verfügt über Kontaktstifte 12, die in dieselbe Richtung wie die elektrischen Anschlussteile 6, bevorzugt ausgeführt als Lötstifte, zeigen. Damit kann auch die Fernmeldeschalteinrichtung 11 in leichter Weise durch Verlöten kontaktiert werden.The telecommunication switching device 11 has contact pins 12 which point in the same direction as the electrical connection parts 6, preferably designed as soldering pins. Thus, the telecommunications switching device 11 can be contacted easily by soldering.

Die Fernmeldeschalteinrichtung 11 umfasst einen Schaltkontakt 13, der die Unterseite der Kammer 2 (siehe Fig. 1) durchdringt. Der Schaltkontakt 13 kann in Wechselwirkung mit einem Betätigungsstift treten, der sich im Steckmodul 3 befindet, um im Fehlerfall, z.B. nach Auslösen einer thermischen Trenneinrichtung, eine Fernmeldeinformation auszulösen.The telecommunications switching device 11 comprises a switching contact 13, the bottom of the chamber 2 (see Fig. 1 ) penetrates. The switching contact 13 can interact with an actuating pin, which is located in the plug-in module 3, to trigger in the event of an error, for example, after triggering a thermal separator, a telecommunications information.

Die Innenseite der Seitenwände 21 des Sockels 1 kann Führungsstege 14 besitzen, mit deren Hilfe ein exaktes Einbringen des Steckmoduls 3 möglich wird.The inside of the side walls 21 of the base 1 may have guide webs 14, by means of which an exact introduction of the plug-in module 3 is possible.

Weiterhin kann der Kammerboden, d.h. die Unterseite 23, eine weitere Durchgangsöffnung zur Aufnahme eines Kodiereinsatzes 15 umfassen. Der Kodiereinsatz 15 stellt sicher, dass im jeweiligen Sockel nur ein solches Steckmodul einbringbar ist, welches einen komplementären Kodierfortsatz besitzt.Furthermore, the chamber bottom, ie the bottom 23, a further passage opening for receiving a Kodiereinsatzes 15 include. The encoder insert 15 ensures that only one such plug-in module can be introduced in the respective socket, which has a complementary coding extension.

Die Innenkontakte 5 sind in der Unterseite 23 derart eingebettet, dass maximal ein bündiger Abschluss gegeben ist. Bevorzugt befinden sich die Innenkontakte in einer Position unterhalb der Ebene des Kammerbodens, um allen elektrischen Anforderungen, insbesondere des Trennungsabstands, zu genügen.The inner contacts 5 are embedded in the bottom 23 in such a way that a maximum of flush termination is given. Preferably, the inner contacts are in a position below the level of the chamber floor to meet all electrical requirements, in particular the separation distance.

Wie die Fig. 3 anschaulich macht, liegt bei im Adapter bzw. Sockel 1 aufgenommenem Steckmodul kein elektrisches Anschlussteil oder Anschlussmittel frei, so dass die gewünschte hohe Berührungssicherheit beim Austausch von Steckmodulen zum Zweck des Ersatzes oder bei Wartungsarbeiten gegeben ist.As the Fig. 3 makes clear, is located in the adapter or socket 1 plug-in module no electrical connection part or connection means free, so that the desired high contact safety when replacing plug-in modules for the purpose of replacement or maintenance is given.
