Problems solved by technology

However, this connector, although miniaturized, still has a certain size
In the connected state, the connector protrudes beyond the mating connector, which can cause problems during assembly in very confined spaces

Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 An electrical connector assembly is shown with two butt connectors 100 mounted side by side on the housing wall 1 of the airbag ignition mechanism. The plug 10 is connected to one of the mating connectors 100 . The plug 10 has an annular locking ring 50 , movable about an insertion axis X, attached to the plug body 20 and surrounding the contact holder portion 30 concentrically, and a plug body 20 comprising a contact holder portion 30 . Elastic element 90 ( image 3 ) keeps the locking ring 50 in the rest position P. The plug body 20 has a flat elongated shape whose dimension along the housing axis A at right angles to the insertion axis X is larger than the dimension along the direction of the insertion axis. The docking connector 100 includes a plug receiving portion 110 adapted to receive and electrically and mechanically connect the male portion 30 of the plug 10 . The docking connector 100 includes a collar 101 surrounding a plug receiving portion 110...

Abstract

An electrical connector assembly for an airbag ignition mechanism includes a plug and a docking connector; the plug has a locking ring movable about an insertion axis and a plug body including a contact retainer portion. The locking ring is attached to the plug body and concentrically surrounds the contact retainer portion. A resilient element holds the locking ring in a rest position; the lockingring has a first recess at the first end and creating a guiding surface. A plug receiving portion is adapted to receive the contact retainer portion and be surrounded by a collar, the extension beingdisposed on an outer side of the collar. The extension engages the guiding surface when the plug abuts the docking connector and causes the locking ring to rotate in a first direction against a spring force of the resilient element about the insertion axis. The locking ring has a second recess at the second end, the projection and the second recess being in a plane perpendicular to the insertionaxis in the fully assembled state. The spring force rotates the locking ring against the first direction such that the projection is received in the second recess and locks the plug body and the receiving portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector assembly for an air bag ignition mechanism. Background technique [0002] In recent years, equipment of vehicles has rapidly developed in the fields of safety, comfort, and multimedia. All of these new features require additional electrical and mechanical effort. Additional electrical wiring and connector systems need to be accommodated in the vehicle. This leads to a trend towards miniaturization in the manufacture of vehicles. Smaller cross-sections are chosen for power lines, and the size of electrical connector systems is getting smaller. However, there are limits to miniaturization when keeping the connector system manipulative during assembly. Furthermore, it needs to be ensured that incorrect installation of the connectors is prevented in the case of a secure plug-in connection. Proven connector types have been built in airbag applications. Document EP2966735 discloses such an airbag connector. ...
