Abstract
In order to interlock an electric contact within an insulating body for a plug-type connector, the invention provides integral clips that are axially spaced apart from one another and on the edges of which the electric contact can be interlocked within a through-opening on the mating side and on the connection side. The invention also proposes a method in which two mould cores that encompass one another and form the through-opening can be removed from the through-opening in opposite directions after the injection-moulding process.
Claims9
A method for manufacturing a locking device for an electric contact in a through-opening and an adjacent insertion compartment in an insulating body using an injection-moulding tool for a plug-type connector,
- wherein the through-opening in the insulating body is realized with the aid of two mould cores that partially encompass one another, namely a first mould core and a second mould core that are arranged within the injection-moulding tool forming the housing and can be respectively removed from the through-opening in axially opposite directions after the injection-moulding of the insulating body, wherein the mould cores are shaped such that clips featuring clip-on edges are formed on the two ends of the through-opening.
A locking device for an electric contact in a through-opening and an adjacent insertion compartment in an insulating body,
- wherein the through-opening respectively features clips that protrude into the interior on its two ends,
- wherein the clips are arranged such that they are offset relative to one another by 180°, and
- wherein the electric contact can be interlocked within the region of the clips that are axially spaced apart from one another.
