Abstract
An electrical plug-in connector consists of a housing and a high-current socket. The high-current socket is formed by a contact segment consisting of contact tongues, an intermediate segment, and an attachment segment, whereby the material thickness of the attachment segment is greater than the material thickness of the intermediate segment and the contact segment. A counter-contact surface for interaction with this change in the material thickness, which is configured in the form of a step, is provided in the housing. Furthermore, the high-current socket is fixed in place in the housing by means of resilient tongues on the intermediate segment, and a catch projection in the recess in the housing.
Claims13
An electrical plug-in connector, comprising:
- an insulating housing having a recess;
- a high-current socket arranged in said recess, said socket comprising;
- (a) a contact segment, which is formed by several contact tongues,
- (b) an intermediate segment having a resilient tongue for fixing the high-current socket in place in the surrounding housing;
- and
- (c) an attachment segment having devices for attaching the high-current socket to another component and having a plug/pin that can be inserted into the high-current socket, said segments being formed in one piece with one another from a material cut-out;
- wherein a guide projection is formed on the attachment segment, and a guide groove is formed on the housing in a region of an opening of the recess;
- wherein a material thickness (t2) of the attachment segment is greater than a material thickness (t1) of the intermediate segment and the contact segment;
- and
- wherein a counter-contact surface is formed on the housing.
A housing of an electrical plug-in connector, said housing being made of an insulating material and having a corpus in which a recess is formed to hold a high-current socket, said housing comprising;
- catch projections to fix the high-current socket in place in the recess;
- a guide groove on the corpus in a region of an opening of the recess;
- and
- a counter-contact surface formed on the corpus.
A high-current socket comprising:
- a contact segment formed by several resilient contact tongues;
- an intermediate segment having a resilient tongue;
- an attachment segment having devices for attaching the high-current socket to another component and a guide projection formed on the attachment segment;
- wherein said segments are formed in one piece with one another from a material cut-out;
- and
- wherein a material thickness (t2) of the attachment segment is greater than a material thickness (t1) of the intermediate segment and the contact segment.
