Abstract
The invention relates to a clamping connector for at least two aligned flexible ribbon cables, said connector including a base body, spring elements for pressing together the surfaces to be brought into contact, and a counter body. The base body and the counter body can be fixed to each other in a pre-locking position and a final locking position. The respective skinned partial regions of at least two flexible ribbon cables are pressed against each other in order to bring the same into contact. The sides of the base body and the counter body, facing the flexible ribbon cables, are provided with complementary recesses or projections by which means the flexible ribbon cables can be guided to form a cable grip.
Claims18
A clamp connector for at least two aligned flexible ribbon cables, comprising a base piece, a spring element for pressing together the surfaces being contacted, and a mating piece, wherein the base piece and the mating piece can be attached to each other in a prelocking position and in a final locking position, characterized in that:
- the at least two flexible ribbon cables, with their respective subregions stripped of insulation for contact, are pressed on each other;
- and
- the sides of the base piece and of the mating piece facing the flexible ribbon cables being connected have complementary depressions or projecting reliefs, by means of which the flexible ribbon cables are guided for formation of a strain relief, and
- wherein the spring element has a number of steel springs, fixed in the base piece, corresponding to the number of conductive tracks of the flexible ribbon cables.
A clamp connector for connecting at least two flexible ribbon cables, comprising:
- a base;
- a mating piece, wherein the base and the mating piece are movably attached to each other between a fixed prelocking position and a fixed final locking position;
- and
- at least one spring element connected to the base, wherein the at least one spring element is adapted to press conductive surfaces of the ribbon cables together,
- wherein the at least one spring element has a number of steel springs corresponding to a number of conductive tracks of the flexible ribbon cables.
A clamp connector for connecting at least two flexible ribbon cables, comprising:
- a base;
- a mating piece, wherein the base and the mating piece are connected to each other between a fixed prelocking position and a fixed final locking position;
- and
- at least one spring element fixed to the base, wherein the at least one spring element is adapted to press surfaces of the ribbon cables together, and wherein the at least one spring element has steel springs.
