Hybrid plug connectors are provided for connecting different electronic modules to insulators arranged in an outer casing and for receiving a power conductor transmitting a power supply and a shielded data conductor for data transmission for transmitting signals/data of an industrial bus, such as ISA, ethernet or similar, wherein the power conductor has at least two power lines and the data conductor has at least one data line, wherein the power lines and the data lines are guided in contact parts designed as plugs or sockets and can be coupled via these contacts parts, and wherein the outer casings of the pair-type hybrid plug connectors can be joined inside one another for interlocking coupling. The insulator arranged in each of the plug connectors can be arranged in a shield housing as a contact carrier receiving arrangement, the shield housing accommodating a contact carrier, which carries forward the data line(s) designed as plug sockets or plug pins in a shielded manner in the plug connector, and wherein the coupleable contacts form a shape-encoded interlocking connection in the plugged-in state of the connection.
A hybrid plug connector for connecting conductor cables of different electronic modules to insulator bodies arranged in an outer casing for receiving a power conductor transmitting a power supply and a shielded data conductor for data transmission for transmitting signals/data of an industrial bus, such as ISA, Ethernet, or the like, wherein the power conductor has at least two power lines and the data conductor has at least one data line, wherein the power lines and the data lines are guided in contact parts designed as plugs or sockets and can be coupled via these contacts parts, and wherein the outer casings of the hybrid plug connectors designed as socket or as plug can be joined inside one another for interlocking coupling, and wherein an insulator body designed as a contact carrier receiving means is arranged in each of the plug connectors designed as sockets and plugs, having a contact carrier in a shield housing, the shield housing accommodating a contact carrier which carries forward the data line(s) designed as plug sockets or plug pins in a shielded manner in the plug connector designed as socket or plug, and wherein the couplable contacts form a shape-encoded interlocking connection in the plugged-in state of the connection, wherein the plug sockets or plug pins of the data lines can be inserted with an interlocking fit into recesses of a contact carrier, which is disposed in a trapezium-shaped contact carrier receiving means, and the contact carrier receiving means is equipped with a shield housing which surrounds it in an interlocking fit and carries forward the shielding of the data lines, the free end of which shield housing is either designed as a shoulder or as an overlapping collar for coupling the plug connectors designed as sockets and as plugs.
