HOLDING FRAME FOR A PLUG-TYPE CONNECTOR

摘要

A holding frame for a plug-type connector is intended to have good heat resistance and a high level of mechanical robustness and, when installed in a metallic plug-type connector housing, enable protective grounding while at the same time being convenient to use, in particular during the replacement of individual modules. To this end, it is proposed to manufacture the holding frame at least partially from spring-elastic sheet metal. For this purpose, the holding frame can have a basic portion and a deformation portion, which are formed from different materials. The basic portion is used for fixing an accommodated module in a plane. The deformation portion can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state permits insertion of at least one module into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane and an accommodated module is fixed in the holding state.

主权项

1. A holding frame for a plug-type connector for receiving modules of the same type and/or different modules, comprising a basic portion for fixing a received module in a plane and comprising a deformation portion, which can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state allows at least one module to be inserted into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane and in the holding state a received module is fixed, characterized in that the basic portion and the deformation portion are formed at least in part from different materials wherein the basic portion is formed as a basic frame and the deformation portion is formed as at least two opposed cheek parts on the basic frame,
wherein the cheek parts got tabs extending crosswise over a circular section of the frame, each having a detent window as a locking element to receive a latch nose of a module.
