Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verbundstecker. Derartige Verbundstecker hatten bisher immer nur Steckelemente einer einzigen Gattung, also entweder Steckstifte oder Steckhülsen. Um Geräte mit Steckelementen unterschiedlicher Gattung elektrisch anschließen zu können, war es daher bisher notwendig, immer getrennte Stecker zu verwenden. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, derartige Geräte mittels eines einzigen Montagehandgriffes gleichzeitig anschließen zu können. Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch einen neuen Verbundstecker, in dem Steckelemente beider Gattungen (6,11) also Steckhülsen (11) und auch Steckstifte (6) vorgesehen sind.

The invention relates to a composite connector. Such composite plugs have so far only ever had plug elements of a single genus, that is to say either plug pins or receptacles. In order to be able to electrically connect devices with plug-in elements of different types, it was previously necessary to always use separate plugs. The object of the invention is to be able to connect such devices simultaneously by means of a single assembly handle. The invention achieves the object by means of a new composite connector, in which plug elements of both types (6, 11), that is to say plug sleeves (11) and also plug pins (6), are provided.
