Plug-type connector having a radially acting latching device

摘要

A plug-type connector having an external conductor part, at least one internal conductor part, and a housing, wherein a radially acting latching device for mechanically releaseably locking the plug-type connector in a plugged-in state is provided on an outer circumference of the housing, the latching device being produced from a spring-elastic material in the form of a ring which has a gap in the circumferential direction, wherein a bolt which can be moved between a locking position and a release position is arranged on the housing such that the bolt engages in the gap in the ring preventing radial compression of the ring in the locking position, and, in the release position, releases the gap in the ring so that the ring can be radially compressed when a stop edge runs onto one of the chamfers on the sides of the ring when the plug-connected state is established or released.

1. A plug-type connector comprising an external conductor part which is formed on a cable-side end of the plug-type connector for electrical and mechanical connection with an external conductor of a cable and which forms an electromagnetic screen of the plug-type connector, having at least one internal conductor part which is formed on the cable-side end of the plug-type connector for electrical and mechanical connection with at least one internal conductor of the cable, and a housing including a radially acting latching device on an outer circumference of the housing for locking the plug-type connector in a mechanically releasable manner in a plugged-in state in which the plug-type connector is plugged, with a plug-side end axially opposite the cable-side end, into a complementary plug-type connector such that an electrical and mechanical contact is established between the internal conductor part of the plug-type connector and a complementary internal conductor part of the complementary plug-type connector as well an electrical and mechanical contact between the external conductor part of the plug-type connector and a complementary external conductor part of the complementary plug-type connector, the latching device comprising a resilient material in the form of a ring having a gap in the circumferential direction, wherein the ring is arranged on the outer circumference of the housing in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the plug-type connector, such that a first side of the ring faces the plug-side end of the plug-type connector and a second side of the ring faces the cable-side end of the plug-type connector, wherein the ring projects in a radial direction from the outer circumference of the housing, and the ring inner diameter is greater than the ring outer diameter in the section in which the ring is located, so that the ring can be compressed radially against a spring-elastic force, the ring having a chamfer on the first and second side such that the ring has a shorter axial length on its outer circumference than on its inner circumference, wherein a bolt which can be moved between a locking position and a release position is arranged on the housing in such a way that in the locking position the bolt engages in the gap in the ring and prevents radial compression of the ring, and in the release position releases the gap in the ring so that the ring can be radially compressed when a stop edge runs onto one of the chamfers on the sides of the ring when the plug-connected state is established or released.
