Modular connector system

摘要

A modular connector system includes at least one connector frame composed of a plurality of frame members which can be connected to each other, preferably by means of screws. A plurality of insulating members are secured in the connector frame. Each insulating member has two outer contact surfaces which extend approximately parallel to each other. A plurality of insulating members are arranged next to each other in a row with the outer contact surfaces resting against each other. Each insulating member also has at least two outer holding surfaces which extend transversely of the contact surfaces and are provided with holding projections. The distances between the holding surfaces of all insulating members are equal. The outer holding surfaces are engaged by two of the frame members of the connector frame which extend parallel to each other, such that a movement of the insulating members transversely of the plane of the connector frame is excluded. The connector system further includes a plurality of contact elements for the transmission of energy or signals, wherein the contact elements have the form of pin contacts and/or socket contacts and/or coaxial contacts. The contact elements are secured in receiving bores which extend through the insulating members. At least one of the insulating members in each connector frame is composed of two components.
