Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0016] The disclosure will be explained in more detail hereunder by way of example by means of an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the figures in which:

[0017] FIG. 1 shows the exploded illustration of a plug-connector plug with a contact socket and an elastomer element;

[0018] FIG. 2 shows the sectional view of the plugged-in plug connector; and

[0019] FIG. 3 in perspective views from two directions shows the single-part drawing of the elastomer element.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] FIG. 1 shows the exploded illustration of a plug-connector plug 100 with a contact socket 10 and the elastomer element 1. The elastomer element 1 mounts, couples, the contact socket 10 in a vibration-damping, shock-absorbing manner (by way of example, three contact sockets are installed in the exemplary embodiment shown; however, the disclosed can be used regardless of the number of contact elements). In order for the damping and/or absorbing characteristics of the coupling to be maximized, the three components participating in the coupling, i.e. the contact socket 10, the receptacle bore for the contact socket 10 in the plug-connector plug housing 1100, and the elastomer element 1 are sized with a generous mutual clearance fit. A sealing function cannot be implemented in this way, but the mutual relative movement of the components, which is essential for the vibration-damping effect, and the elastic deformation of the elastomer element 1 are facilitated.

[0021] FIG. 2 comprises the sectional view of the plugged-in plug connector 300, i.e. of the plug-connector plug housing 110 and the plug-connector mating-plug housing 210 plugged into one another, in such a manner that the contact partners, presently in the form of the contact socket 10 and the contact pin 20, are disposed in a contacting and electrically conducting manner. The electrical contacting takes place by way of socket contact elements 11 which bear on the contact pin 10 and as a result of their elastic deformability permit relative movements between the contact socket 10 and the contact pin 20.

[0022] When viewed in the plug-in direction, the elastomer element 1 is disposed in front of the contact socket 10. Said elastomer element 1 spaces apart the contact socket 10 and the contact pin 20 from one another and, besides the elastically deformable socket contact element 11, implements the second elastically deformable contact-face pairing between the contact socket 10 and the contact pin 20. As a result, the mutual relative movement of the contact partners is possible, and is protected in terms of vibration-damping and/or shock-absorbing by the elastomer element 1.

[0023] FIG. 3 in two perspective views from two directions illustrates the single-part drawing of the elastomer element 1. The exemplary embodiment shown possesses a cylindrical main body 2 which forms the shank of the elastomer element 1. The design of the elastomer element 1 with a collar 3 is possible and illustrated here. The collar 3 is advantageous in particular if the contact socket 10 on the end side thereof is to be provided with a concentric annular face as a bearing shoulder. The vibration-damping and/or shock-absorbing effect can yet again be reinforced in this way. The external diameter of the collar 3 is adapted to the receptacle bore of the contact socket 10 in the plug-connector plug housing 110. A ratio between the external diameter of the collar 3 and of the cylindrical main body 2 of approximately 1.1 to 1.2 is often implemented.

[0024] In order to facilitate simple and easy assembling, it is provided that the elastomer element 1 on the inside of the cylindrical main body 2 and at the end of the cylindrical main body 2 that lies opposite the collar 3 has an introduction ramp 4 so that the contact pin 20 can be more easily introduced into the contact socket 10. The elastomer element 1 can be supplemented with a chamfer 5. The chamfer 5 is produced by an incline of approximately 45 degrees and extends over approx. 1/10 of the length of the cylindrical main body 2. The introduction ramp 4 is produced by an incline of approximately 15 degrees and extends over approx. ? of the length of the cylindrical main body 2.
