Abstract

An electrical plug connector has a housing for accommodating conductors and a separate adapter part with an outer contour matched to an inner contour of the housing and an inner structure for connecting a sleeve conductor serving to encase the conductors. The adapter part additionally contains measures for accommodating a ground contact.

Claims (28)

1. An electrical plug connector, comprising:

a housing for accommodating conductors;

a sleeve line serving to encase the conductors;

a fork-shaped securing clamp;

a grounding contact;

a separate adaptor part having at least one of:

an outer contour matched to an inner contour of said housing and an inner structure for connecting said sleeve line; or

means for accommodating said grounding contact

said adaptor part having a side wall and a hollow-cylindrical accommodation space; and

said sleeve line having a coiled outer casing or a corrugated-tube-shaped outer casing and engaging in said hollow-cylindrical accommodation space in said adaptor part and said fork-shaped securing clamp penetrating said side wall of said adaptor part and engaging in a form locking connection with said sleeve line.

2. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said adaptor part has structure elements on an inside for forming at least one of a form locking connection or a frictionally locking connection to said sleeve line.

3. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said adaptor part has contour elements on an outside for forming at least one of a form locking connection or frictionally locking connection to said housing.

4. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said housing contains a contact carrier part having openings formed therein for receiving conductor-end-side connecting contacts and two housing half-shells which are joined in an assembled state to said contact carrier part.

5. The electrical plug connector according to claim 4 , wherein said housing half-shells each have at least one latching element for latching to one another.

6. The electrical plug connector according to claim 5 , wherein each of said housing half-shells has a latching hook and a latching opening formed therein which lies radially opposite said latching hook of a respective other one of said housing half-shells.

7. The electrical plug connector according to claim 4 , wherein said housing half-shells accommodate said adaptor part.

8. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a supporting cylinder which is at a lateral distance from an outer wall of said hollow-cylindrical accommodation space in said adaptor part and said supporting cylinder projecting into said hollow-cylindrical accommodation space in such a way that a circumferential accommodation pocket for said sleeve line is formed between an inner face of said outer wall of said hollow-cylindrical accommodation space and an outer face of said supporting cylinder.

9. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said adaptor part has two adaptor half-shells.

10. The electrical plug connector according to claim 9 , wherein said adaptor half-shells have complementary latching elements.

11. The electrical plug connector according to claim 9 , wherein said adaptor part has an end-side securing element.

12. The electrical plug connector according to claim 11 , wherein said two adaptor half-shells are coupled to said end-side securing element.

13. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said adaptor part has a connecting opening formed therein, said grounding contact engages through said connecting opening in said adaptor part.

14. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said grounding contact engages in a structure of said sleeve line.

15. The electrical plug connector according to claim 1 , wherein said grounding contact is embodied in a manner of a comb at an end facing said sleeve line and having claws which can be bent over.

16. The electrical plug connector according to claim 15 , wherein said claws engage in a manner of a comb in an outer structure of said sleeve line, and in the assembled state said grounding contact is pressed onto said sleeve line.

17. The electrical plug connector according to claim 10 , wherein said complementary latching elements include a latching hook and a latching web for latching to one another.

18. The electrical plug connector according to claim 15 , wherein said claws engage in a manner of a comb in an outer structure of said sleeve line.

19. The electrical plug connector according to claim 15 , wherein in the assembled state said grounding contact is pressed onto said sleeve line.
