Finger protection member, plug-in electrical connector and construction kit and method for assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical plug-in connector (1), in particular for high-voltage connections, comprising: an outer body (2) with a plug opening (5) for receiving a mating plug-in connector (101); fixed electrical contacts terminal housings (8, 8', 8'', 13, 13', 13'', 13''') of (36); and fingers extending in the plugging direction (X) towards the plug opening (5) Protective components (25). The invention also relates to: a finger protection member (25) for a high-voltage plug-in electrical connector (1), which has a bar-shaped body with a protective end (56); for a high-voltage plug-in electrical connector (1) ), comprising an outer body (2) with a plug opening (5) for receiving a mating plug connector (101) and at least one terminal housing (8,8', 8'',13,13',13'',13'''). Finally, the invention relates to a method of assembling a plug-in connector (1), in particular for high-voltage connections, the terminal housings (8, 8', 8'', 13, 13', 13'', 13''') into the outer body (2) of the plug-in connector (1) with the plug opening (5) opening in the plug-in direction (X) of the plug-in connector (1) . In order to provide a plug-in connector (1) that is more plug-compatible and user-friendly than known connectors by means of a finger protection device (25), the finger protection member (25) of the present invention is connected to the terminal housing ( 8,8',8'',13,13',13'',13'') jointed separate parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a plug-in electrical connector, in particular for high voltage connections, comprising an outer body having a plug opening for receiving a mating plug-in connector ; a terminal housing for fastening the electrical contacts; and a finger protection member projected in a plugging direction. [0002] Further, the present invention relates to a finger protection member for a high-voltage plug-in electrical connector, the finger protection member having a bar-shaped body with a protection end. [0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a construction kit for a high-voltage plug-type electrical connector, comprising: an outer body having a plug opening for receiving a mated plug-type connector; and at least a terminal housing. [0004] Finally, the invention relates to a method for assembling a plug-type connector, in particular for high-voltage connections, wherein the terminal housing of the plug-type connector is inserted into...

Further, the contacts need to be protected from damage or shorting that could be caused by components entering the connector through the plug opening

[0006] A disadvantage of the above-mentioned known connectors is that, especially in applications of the 90° type—that is, the plugging direction and the mounting direction are perpendicular to each other—the overall length of the terminal housing in the plugging direction exceeds a certain limit, namely Restrictions on the highest achievability of the same socket plate and mating plug-in connectors that can be used for 90°-type connectors as well as 180°-type connectors in which the mating direction and the mounting direction run parallel
