Abstract
A plug-in connector has a plug-in connector housing, an insulating body and a contact. The plug-in connector is rectangular and is designed to be mounted on a device wall or on another surface. The contact of the plug-in connector is also rectangular and in the form of a single piece. A two-part insulating body which is placed in the plug-in connector housing from two directions is necessary for assembling the plug-in connector.
Claims14
A plug connector, which has a plug connector housing, an insulating body arranged in the plug connector housing and an electrical contact arranged in the insulating body,
- wherein the plug connector forms a plug side and an assembly side,
- wherein the plug side and the assembly side are arranged at an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to one another,
- wherein the electrical contact is bent at a right angle and forms a first contact side in the plug side of the plug connector
- and a second contact side in the assembly side of the plug connector, and is rotatably mounted within the plug connector housing,
- wherein the first contact side and the second contact side project out of the plug connector housing, at least in some regions,
- wherein the assembly side has a fastening flange provided on opposite sides of the plug connector housing for assembling the plug connector, and
- wherein the plug side has at least one lock for locking the plug connector to a mating plug connector.
A method for assembling a plug connector,
- wherein the plug connector has a plug connector housing, an insulating body and an electrical contact,
- wherein the insulating body is formed from at least one first insulating body part and one second insulating body part,
- wherein the plug connector forms a plug side and an assembly side, wherein the assembly side has a fastening flange provided on opposite sides of the connector for assembling the plug connector, wherein the plug side and the assembly side are arranged at an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to one another,
- wherein the plug side has at least one lock for locking the plug connector to a mating plug connector, wherein
- the electrical contact is bent at a right angle and is rotatably arranged in one of the insulating body parts,
- the one insulating body part with the electrical contact received therein is inserted into the plug side or the assembly side of the plug connector housing by a rotational movement, and
- the further insulating body part is inserted into the assembly side or the plug side of the plug connector housing,
- wherein the first contact side and the second contact side project out of the plug connector housing, at least in some regions, and
- wherein the two insulating body parts latch to one another in the plug connector housing.
