Abstract
The present invention relates to a connector arrangement with a first housing and a second housing, which receive a plug arrangement and a socket arrangement, respectively, and can be joined together by means of a cross slider which has guide frame ramps, and which is controlled by a pivoted lever mounted on a housing, wherein all guide frame slots or ramps and the bearing of the pivoted lever are open in the direction of plugging in order to make possible an insertion of the respective guide tabs or bearing tabs.
Claims12
A connector arrangement with a first housing and a second housing, each of which receives a plug arrangement and a socket arrangement, respectively, wherein the first housing has bearing sleeves and the second housing has guide tabs, wherein the housings can be joined together by means of a cross slider which has a first slot and guide frame slots, which is controlled by a pivoted lever having a bearing tab and a guide tab, wherein the pivoted lever is mounted on the first housing, is hereby characterized in that the guide frame slots are open in the direction of plugging, in order to make possible an insertion of the respective second housing guide tabs, wherein the end of the guide frame slots of the cross slider situated toward the plugged end of the first housing has, in each case, an opening that is parallel to the direction of plugging for receiving the guide tabs arranged correspondingly on the second housing, wherein the bearing tabs of the pivoted lever are mounted in the bearing sleeves of the first housing, wherein the bearing sleeves are open in the direction opposite to the direction of plugging, wherein the first slot of the cross slider receives the lever guide tab, and wherein the first slot of the cross slider is parallel to the direction of plugging and open in the direction opposite to the direction of plugging.
A connector arrangement comprising:
- a first housing having a back side and an opposing first contact, wherein the first housing comprises a bearing sleeve open to the back side of the first housing;
- a second housing having a complementary second mating contact;
- a cross slider disposed between the first housing and the second housing, wherein the cross slider comprises a slot having an open end, and wherein the open end is open to the back side of the first housing;
- and
- a lever having a bearing tab and a guide tab, wherein the bearing tab is configured to be received by the bearing sleeve when the bearing tab is inserted into the bearing sleeve at the back side of the first housing, and wherein the guide tab is configured to be insertable into the open end of the slot.
A connector arrangement comprising:
- a first housing having a back side and an opposing first contact forming a plug face, wherein the first housing comprises a bearing sleeve and a spring arm, wherein the bearing sleeve is open to the back side of the first housing, and wherein a free end of the spring arm extends to a side of the bearing sleeve;
- a second housing having a complementary second mating contact;
- a cross slider disposed between the first housing and the second housing, wherein the cross slider comprises a slot having a closed end and an open end, wherein the closed end is adjacent to the plug face and the open end is adjacent to the back side;
- and
- a lever having a bearing tab and a guide tab, wherein the bearing sleeve is configured to receive the bearing tab, wherein the free end is configured to resiliently deflect and secure the bearing tab within the bearing sleeve, and wherein the slot is configured to receive the guide tab.
