Modular plug connectors

摘要

A plug connector has a housing body, and a retaining cage is locked in place inside the housing body. At one end the retaining cage encloses a contacting element for electrically contacting a conductor of a cable to be attached, and at the other end the retaining cage encloses the cable sheath of the cable to be attached. Coupling elements for reversible connection of a further plug connector having an identical housing body are provided externally on the housing body on both sides thereof. Fixing elements for fixing the plug connector onto a mounting rail are provided externally on the housing body.

主权项

1. A plug connector that can be fixed on a mounting rail, said plug connector comprising:
a housing body; fixatives for fixing the plug connector onto the mounting rail, the fixatives being provided on an outside of the housing body; a contacting element for electrical contact of a conductor of a cable that is to be connected at one end thereof, and a cable sheath of the cable at another end thereof; a holding cage that is snappable onto an inside of the housing body, the holding cage gripping around the contacting element; and on both sides of the outside of the housing body, coupling elements provided for the reversible connection with another plug connector with a similar housing body, one of the coupling elements being an arch-shaped groove and the other coupling element being a cylindrical pin, with the arch-shaped groove being configured to slidably engage the cylindrical pin and effect the reversible connection as the plug connector is rotated vertically toward the mounting rail.
