PLUG CONNECTOR FOOR HIGH DATA RATE

Abstract

A plug connector having a contact support (2), wherein at least one contact chamber is provided in the contact support (2) and a contact partner (3) is inserted into the contact chamber and primarily locked therein, wherein each contact partner is allocated a throughgoing hole on one side of the contact support (2) for the primary latch formation and so as to increase the transmission rate, and a further single throughgoing hole is provided on the opposite side of the contact support (2), wherein the throughgoing holes have an elongated rectangular shape.

Claims

1. A plug connector comprising: a contact support forming a contact chamber and having a pair of opposite sides each formed with a respective throughgoing hole of elongated rectangular shape; and a contact partner in the contact chamber and having a primary latch formation primarily locked in one of the throughgoing holes.

2. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein an undercut is formed by the throughgoing hole for the primary latch formation and by the undercut during the insertion procedure into the contact chamber an initially projecting resilient tab of the contact partner and then the somewhat compressed resilient tab can slide away if the contact partner is inserted into its contact chamber, wherein then if the contact partner is inserted in the proper manner into its contact chamber, the end of the resilient tab comes to rest against the undercut and locks the contact partner in its contact chamber.

3. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein the cross-section of the contact chamber is square or rectangular with a chamfer in the longitudinal direction in a corner of the square or of the rectangle.

4. The plug connector according to claim 1, there are two of the contact changers each with two of the throughgoing holes and the holes on one side of the contact support are adjacent one another.

5. The plug connector according to claim 1, further comprising: at least one contact spring.

6. The plug connector according to claim 1, further comprising: a circumferential contact spring.

7. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein the plug connector is embodied for use in the automotive industry.

8. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein the plug connector is embodied for use in a frequency band greater than 500 MHZ.

9. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein the plug connector is embodied for use in a frequency band greater than 1 GHz.
