Abstract
A plug connector to connect electrical conductors, comprising a housing of the plug connector formed as a single piece and provide an unlocking mechanism in the housing which is triggered by operating a tab on a cable connection side. A latching mechanism which is located on the exterior of the housing can be shifted into the housing by triggering the unlocking mechanism, forming a latch with a mating plug.
Claims8
Plug connector for connecting electrical conductors, consisting of a housing (5) with a plug side (2) which is formed using a conductor plate (60) and a cable connection side (3) which is equipped with a latching mechanism (33) to latch into an mating plug (70) and an unlocking mechanism which can be triggered using a strap (40), wherein the unlocking mechanism possesses a gliding element (20) which can shift along the longitudinal axis of the plug connector, wherein the housing (5) is formed as a single piece and its interior contains the unlocking mechanism, the unlocking mechanism acts from the interior of the housing (5) on the latching mechanism (33) which is located on the outside, and the unlocking mechanism possesses an unlocking element (30) which can move vertically in relation to the longitudinal axis of the plug connector, the gliding element (20) and the unlocking element (30) are connected with each other in a moveable manner and interact in such a manner that the motion of the gliding element (20) along the longitudinal axis of the plug connector causes a motion of the unlocking element (30) which is vertical in relation to the longitudinal axis of the plug connector, and pulling on the strap (40) which is located on the cable connection side (3) against the plug direction of the plug connector (1) causes the unlocking mechanism to pull the latching mechanism (33) into the housing (5) and thereby releases the latch to the mating plug (70).
