Abstract
A module for connecting actuators and/or sensors having a housing that can be mounted on a base and a contact unit with contact pins. To enable the connection of a round cable, at the same time maintaining a simple design and easy contacting, the proposed base has an accommodating element projecting beyond the housing with an accommodating aperture for a plug coupling of a round cable connection that can be brought into contact with a connector, with the connector having contact elements that can engage with the contact pins.
Claims12
A module for connecting at least one of an actuator and a sensor, comprising:
- a housing;
- a base, the housing being mountable on the base, the base including an accommodating element which projects beyond the housing when the housing is mounted on the base, the accommodating element having an aperture;
- a contact unit including contact pins;
- a plug coupling of a round cable connection provided in the aperture;
- and
- a connector connected in an electrically conductive manner to the plug coupling, the connector including contact elements that engage with the contact pins.
