Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Steckverbindung, bestehend aus einem Stecker und einem mit dem Stecker koppelbaren Gegenstecker, wobei in Abhängigkeit der Konnektierung des Kabelbaums mit denen im Stecker angeordneten Kontaktelementen auf der Außenseite des Steckers mindestens ein Bereich zur Anbringung einer Kodierung vorgesehen ist, sowie ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung einer Kodierung eines konfektionierten Steckers zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Steckverbindung.The invention relates to an electrical connector consisting of a connector and a mating connector that can be coupled to the connector, wherein depending on the connection of the cable harness with those in the connector arranged contact elements on the outside of the plug at least an area for applying a coding is provided, and a method to generate a coding of a assembled connector for Establishing an electrical connector.
Kodierungen für Steckverbindungen sind vielfältig bekannt.Codings for plug connections are widely known.
Insbesondere Kabelbaumstecker weisen auf ihren nach außen hinweisenden Seitenflächen oder Stirnseiten fest angespritzte Kodierungsbereiche auf. Diese Kodierungsbereiche dienen dazu, zu kennzeichnen, welcher Typ von Steckerteil für welche Kabelkonfektion verwendet werden muss.In particular, wiring harness plugs point to their outward-pointing Side areas or end faces on injection-molded coding areas. These coding areas are used to identify which type of Plug part for which cable assembly must be used.
Daher ist es notwendig, dass zur Kabelkonfektionierung, d.h. zum Anbringen von Kabelbäumen an einem Kabelbaumstecker unterschiedliche Typen von Kabelsteckern gelagert werden müssen, um eine gewisse Fertigungsflexibilität zu gewährleisten. Hierdurch ist jedoch eine kostenintensive Lagerhaltung sowie eine kostenintensive Herstellung einer großen Anzahl von Typen unterschiedlicher Ausführungen von Kabelbaumsteckern notwendig. It is therefore necessary that for cable assembly, i.e. to attach of wire harnesses on a wire harness connector different types of Cable plugs need to be stored to provide some manufacturing flexibility to ensure. However, this makes cost-intensive storage as well as an expensive manufacture of a large number of Types of different types of wiring harness plugs required.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Kabelbaumstecker derart zu verändern, dass die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden werden.The object of the invention is to change a wiring harness connector in such a way that that the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, den Kabelbaumstecker für eine elektrische Steckverbindung derart zu verändern, dass eine nach der vollständigen Montage des Steckers einstellbare Kodierung insbesondere auf den Seitenflächen des Kabelbaumsteckers aufbringbar ist.The solution to the problem is the wiring harness connector for an electrical Change plug connection so that one after the complete Assembly of the plug adjustable coding especially on the Side surfaces of the harness connector can be applied.
Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass ein neutrales Steckergehäuse zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Steckverbindung geschaffen werden kann. Dieses neutrale Steckergehäuse ist vorzugsweise bei einem Kabelkonfektionär anzuliefern, der dann, im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, erst nach dem Konfektionieren, d.h. nach dem Anbringen des Kabelbaums an den Kabelstecker und nach der Endprüfung, eine Kodierung des Steckers, aus der unterschiedliche Daten zu entnehmen sind, anbringt.The main advantage of the invention is that a neutral Plug housing created for establishing an electrical connector can be. This neutral connector housing is preferably at to deliver to a cable assembler who, in contrast to the state of the Technology, only after assembly, i.e. after attaching the wire harness to the cable connector and after the final test, a coding of the Connector from which different data can be found.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Anbringung in der Art vorgesehen, dass ein zusätzliches Kodierungsteil, beispielsweise in Form einer Platte, entweder an dem Stecker anklippbar oder an diesem angeschweißt bzw. angeklebt wird.The attachment is advantageously provided in such a way that a additional coding part, for example in the form of a plate, either can be clipped onto the plug or welded or glued to it becomes.
Ferner ist denkbar, dass durch Ausstanzen verschiedener Kunststoffelemente aus einem neutralen Kodierungsbereich an dem Teil, das fest an dem Steckergehäuse anordnet ist, eine entsprechende Kodierung durch den Kabelkonfektionär vorgenommen werden kann.It is also conceivable that by punching out different plastic elements from a neutral coding area on the part that is fixed on the The connector housing is arranged, a corresponding coding by the cable assembler can be made.
Alternativ hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass durch Herausbrechen von vorgestanzten Teilen ebenfalls durch den Kabelkonfektionär nach der Kabelkonfektionierung die entsprechende Kodierung einstellbar ist.As an alternative to this, it is provided that by punching out pre-cut Share also by the cable assembler after the cable assembly the corresponding coding is adjustable.
Dieser erfindungsgemäße Stecker bzw. dieses erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erlaubt eine reduzierte Lagerhaltung von Teilen und gleichzeitig wird die Steckverbindung in einem Arbeitsschritt durch den Kabelkonfektionär Kodiert und markiert, dass diese Steckverbindung endgeprüft ist. Erst durch die Endprüfung ist es möglich, dass die Steckverbindung beispielsweise an einem Fließband eines Automobilherstellers gesteckt werden kann. Dies stellt zudem sicher, dass nicht endgeprüfte Kabelbäume bzw. elektrische Steckverbindungen nicht verwendet bzw. eingebaut werden.This connector according to the invention or this method according to the invention allows a reduced storage of parts and at the same time the Plug connection coded in one step by the cable assembler and marks that this connector has been checked. Only by the final test, it is possible that the connector is on, for example can be plugged into an assembly line of an automobile manufacturer. This also ensures that cable harnesses or electrical Plug connections are not used or installed.

Durch eine einfache Veränderung des Verfahrens zur Herstellung und Kofektionierung eines Kabelbaumsteckers 1 für eine elektrische Steckverbindung sowie Schaffung eines solchen Kabelbaumsteckers 1 ist es möglich geworden, die Vielzahl von Typen, die notwendig sind um unterschiedliche Konfektionen von Steckern 1 zu gewährleisten, stark zu reduzieren. Dadurch ist ein kostengünstiges und variantenreiches Herstellen von Kabelbaumsteckern 1 für elektrische Steckverbindungen möglich.By simply changing the manufacturing and packaging process a harness connector 1 for an electrical connector and creation of such a wiring harness connector 1, it has become possible the multitude of types that are necessary for different assemblies of plugs 1 to ensure greatly reduce. Thereby is an inexpensive and versatile manufacturing of wiring harness connectors 1 possible for electrical plug connections.
