Abstract
Provided is a plug having a first plug piece and a second plug piece. The plug pieces are designed to enter in contact with each other, a male end of plug piece being accommodated in a first female end of plug piece. When the first plug piece is in contact with the second plug piece, electric contact elements accommodated in the plug pieces are in contact with each other. An insert accommodated in the female end of the first plug piece prevents inadvertent contacts by foreign bodies in the female end.
Claims3
A plug-in connector, having a first connector part and a corresponding second connector part, and at least two corresponding contact elements accommodated in the first and second connector parts, wherein:
- the first connector part has a first plug-in side that is constituted by a first formed-on portion,
- the first formed-on portion is constituted by a full-perimeter, first collar, which bounds a first free space, and the first contact element is disposed inside the first collar,
- the second connector part has a second plug-in side that is constituted by at least one second formed-on portion, and the second contact element is disposed inside the at least one second formed-on portion,
- the contour of the at least one second formed-on portion matches the contour of the first collar such that the at least one second formed-on portion can be accommodated in a positive-locking manner inside the first collar, and
- the at least one second formed-on portion is realized as a second collar, wherein the second collar, which constitutes the at least one second formed-on portion, bounds a second free space, wherein:
- the first contact element, at its contact tip that faces in the plug-in direction, is composed of an insulating material,
- an insert is provided, which can be inserted in the first free space of the first plug-in side of the first connector part,
- the insert can be latched in the first free space of the first connector part,
- the insert has at least one third formed-on portion, and
- the at least one third formed-on portion is aligned in the plug-in direction, and
- the at least one third formed-on portion matches the contour of the second collar such that the at least one third formed-on portion can be disposed in a positive-locking manner in the second free space, inside the second collar.
