Abstract
The invention relates to an electric coupling element (1). Pin or socket contact elements (20), with which an electric means of a screwable connection means (28), are arranged in an electrically insulating main part (10). Openings (18) in the main part (10) are covered by means of a covering panel (30) I order to ensure the electric insulation of the individual contact elements (20). For assembly purposes, the covering panel (30) is movably attached to the main part (10) such that the covering panels (30, 30′) of two coupling elements (1, 1′) are mutually actuated when joined together.
Claims9
An electric coupling element (1) adapted to be disposed in a plug-in connector housing,
- preferably In a modular plug-in connector housing, comprising an electrically insulating base body (10),
- wherein the base body (10) includes contact cavities (11) with electric contact elements (20) provided therein,
- wherein said contact elements (20) are preferably formed as socket or pin contacts,
- wherein said contact elements (20) have a contact side (22) that is at the front in the plug-in direction (S) and a cable connection side (24) that is at the rear in the plug-in direction (S),
- wherein the cable connection side (24) has a connection means (28) for fastening an electric conductor (3) to the cable connection side (24) of the contact element (20), and
- wherein said base body (10) has openings (18) which allow access to the connection means (28),
- wherein said electric coupling element (1) has an electrically insulating cover plate (30),
- and said cover plate (30) is provided on the base body (10) in front of the openings (18), characterised in that
- said cover plate (30) is arranged on said base body so as to be linearly displaceable in and opposite to the plug-in direction (S).
