Car charging connector
The invention relates to a plug-in connector ( 10 ) that has an insulation insert ( 1 ) and at least one contact element ( 2 ), wherein the at least one contact element ( 2 ) is connected to a conductor of a cable, wherein the insulation insert ( 1 ) has at least one receptacle, in which the at least one contact element ( 2 ) and the at least one section of the conductor connected thereto are provided, wherein a first seal ( 7 ) that seals the insulation insert ( 1 ) is provided in the at least one receptacle, wherein the at least one contact element ( 2 ) is sealed in the insulation insert ( 1 ) using the first seal ( 7 ) and wherein the conductor connected to the at least one contact element ( 2 ) is sealed in the insulation insert ( 1 ) using a second seal ( 8 ). According to the invention, the at least one contact element is held in a receptacle that is substantially formed from an opening ( 3 ) and two legs ( 4 ) axially protruding therefrom.
1. An electrical plug-in connector comprising,
an insulation insert comprising an enclosed wall that extends in a longitudinal direction between one end defining a plug-in side and an opposite end defining a connection side, said insulation insert including at least one receptacle extending in a direction between the plug-in side and connection side, said receptacle having a plug-in side opening and a connection side opening, a flat disc positioned at said connection side opening, said flat disc having two legs located adjacent said connection side opening and extending into the receptacle in a direction toward said plug-in side opening,
a contact element positioned within said receptacle and protruding from the plug-in side opening, said contact element engaged and retained by said two legs of said flat disc,
a conductor of a cable connected to said contact element wherein a section of said cable conductor is within a portion of said contact element, said cable conductor protruding from the connection side opening,
a first seal within said receptacle to seal the contact element with respect to the insulation insert on the plug-in side, and
a second seal within said receptacle to seal the cable conductor to the insulation insert on the connection side.
2. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the insulation insert is formed in two parts that are sealed to each other through a third seal.
3. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that said plug-in side opening and said connection side opening are in alignment with each other.
4. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , characterised in that
the insulation insert has a fourth seal that seals the insulation insert in a plugged-in condition.
5. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that
the insulation insert has at least two contact elements.
6. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that
said plug-in connector has a circuit breaker to switch the plug-in connector off, said circuit breaker at least partially disposed within a non-conductive material and sealed thereby and,
wherein the insulation insert includes at least a further receptacle with a further contact element therewithin, and a conductor connecting said further contact element to said circuit breaker, said connector extending from a connection side opening, and sealed thereto.
7. The plug-in connector according to claim 6 , characterised in that
the plug-in connector has an actuator that is accessible from the outside.
8. The plug-in connector according to claim 7 , characterised in that
said circuit breaker can be activated via the actuator to switch the plug-in connector on or off.
9. The plug-in connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that
the seals are made from the materials perfluorinated rubber (FFKM or FFPM) or polyethylene (PE) or polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) or from a combination of these materials.
