Abstract

A connector device for connecting to at least one component has a main body, a receiver and/or transmitter device arranged on the main body for receiving and/or transmitting signals and/or data, and a shielding device. The shielding device is arranged so as to be movable relative to the base body and has a shield for electromagnetic shielding of the receiver and/or transmitter device. The shielding device further includes a latch for latching the connector device with the component to be connected in a latching position, and a lock for securing the latch in the latching position. In the latching position, the receiver and/or transmitter device is not shielded by the shield.

Claims (27)

1 . A connector device for connecting to at least one component, comprising:

a main body;

a receiving and/or transmitting device arranged on the main body for receiving and/or transmitting signals and/or data; and

a shielding device, which is arranged movably relative to the main body, the shielding device comprising:

a shield for electromagnetic shielding of the receiving and/or transmitting device,

a latch for latching the connector device to the component to be connected in a latching position,

a lock for securing the latch in the latching position, wherein

in the latching position, the receiving and/or transmitting device is free of shielding by the shield.

2 . The connector device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a spring element, which is designed, when the shielding device is not in the latching position, to arrange the shield such that the receiving and/or transmitting device is shielded by the shield.

3 . The connector device according to claim 1 , wherein

the shielding device is designed in multiple parts.

4 . The connector device according to claim 1 , wherein the shield is a metal sleeve.

5 . The connector device according to claim 1 , wherein

the shielding device has a receiving sleeve, which comprises the lock.

6 . The connector device according to claim 5 , wherein

the shielding device has a clip ring, which comprises the latch.

7 . The connector device according to claim 1 , wherein

the shielding device has a receiving sleeve, a metal sleeve and a clip ring, which are connected to one another non-rotatably.

8 . The connector device according to claim 7 , wherein

the clip ring is axially movable relative to the receiving sleeve and/or metal sleeve.

9 . The connector device according to claim 8 , wherein

the clip ring is arranged in an interior of the receiving sleeve and/or metal sleeve.

10 . The connector device according to claim 1 , wherein

the main body has an unlocking device, which is designed to bring the latch out of the latching position.

11 . The connector device according to claim 10 , wherein

the unlocking device has one or more slopes protruding from the main body.
