Abstract
A plug connector (1) for connection of a data line, having a plug housing (2) with one or more connection elements (3) each connection element being for connection of a respective wire of the data line. The connection elements have one or more contact elements (4), and one or more conductor elements (5), via each of which a connection element (3) is electrically conductively connected to a contact element (4). Return damping of the plug connector (1) is reduced in that at least one portion (6) of the individual conductor elements (5) or at least one portion of the individual contact elements (4) is designed and arranged such that the wave impedance of the portion (6) is purposefully mismatched so that the value of the wave impedance deviates from the nominal wave impedance of the data line.
Claims11
A plug-in connector for connecting a data line, with a connector housing, with one or more connecting elements for connecting in each case one wire of the data line, with one or more contact elements and with one or more conductor elements, via which each of the connecting elements is connected in an electrically-conductive manner to a respective one of the contact elements,
- wherein at least one section of each of the one or more conductor elements or at least one section of each of the individual contact elements is configured and arranged so that a characteristic wave impedance of the section is specifically mismatched by a value of the characteristic wave impedance that deviates from a rated characteristic wave impedance of the data line, and
- wherein, because of the mismatch in the area of the plug-in connector, in which a free space for configuration is present with only a few restrictions, if any, the mismatch can be compensated for in areas other than said at least one section or at least are decreased overall.
