Abstract
The invention relates to a plug connector with contacts having a connecting end for a cable, a housing and a lid. The housing and the lid each have a flap at the level of the connecting end of the contacts, wherein the connecting ends of the contacts can be freely accessed when said flap is in its open position in order to fasten the cable.
Claims19
A plug connector, having
- contacts, each with a connecting end for a cable, wherein the connecting end comprises a first side and an opposite second side,
- a housing comprising a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first opening is proximate the first sides of the connecting ends, and wherein the second opening is proximate the second sides of the same connecting ends, and
- a lid,
- is hereby characterized in that
- the housing and the lid each have a flap at the level of the connecting end of contact, when the flaps are in a closed position, the flap of the housing is at the first opening and the flap of the lid is at the second opening, and when these flaps are in the open position, the connecting ends of contacts are freely accessible for fastening the cable, wherein the first side of the connecting end is configured to contact a first portion of a tool proximate the first opening, wherein the second side of the connecting end is configured to be deformed by a second portion of the tool proximate the second opening, and wherein the contacts are fully engaged in the housing when the flaps are in the open position.

A plug connector, having
- contacts, each with a connecting end for a cable, wherein the connecting end comprises a top side and an opposite bottom side,
- an uptake, which surrounds the connecting ends of contacts,
- is hereby characterized in that
- the uptake has an opening at the top side and an opening at the bottom side of the connecting ends at the level of connecting end of contact, and at least one of these openings can be closed by a flap, in the open position of which, the connecting ends are freely accessible for the fastening of cable, wherein the opening at the top side is configured to allow for deformation of the top side by a crimping tool, and wherein the opening at the bottom side is configured to allow for the bottom side to contact a crimping anvil.
1 more element
A plug connector comprising;
- a housing comprising a first opening and an opposite second opening;
- a lid attached to the housing, wherein the lid is configured to cover the second opening;
- and
- a contact between the housing and the lid, wherein the contact comprises a connecting end, wherein a first side of the connecting end is accessible through the first opening, wherein the first opening is configured to allow a crimping anvil to extend therethrough and contact the first side, wherein an opposite second side of the connecting end is accessible proximate the second opening, and wherein the second side is configured to be deformed by a tool.
