Abstract

The invention relates to a system consisting of a first plug connector module ( 2 ) and a second plug connector module ( 3 ), each of which is to be used in a modular industrial plug connector. The first plug connector module ( 2 ) has a first shield transfer element ( 5 ), and the second plug connector module ( 3 ) has a second shield transfer element ( 6 ). A cable connected to the plug connector module ( 2, 3 ) can be secured on a connection side (A) of each shield transfer element ( 5, 6 ), and the shield transfer elements ( 5, 6 ) can be brought into electric contact with each other on the plug side.

Claims (39)

1. A system, consisting of:

a first plug connector module ( 2 ) configured for use in a modular industrial plug connector; and

a second plug connector module ( 3 ) configured for use in the modular industrial plug connector,

wherein the first plug connector module ( 2 ) comprises a first shield transfer element ( 5 ) having a plug side (S) and a connection side (A),

wherein the second plug connector module ( 3 ) comprises a second shield transfer element ( 6 ) having a plug side (S) and a connection side (A),

wherein the first plug connector module ( 2 ) is configured to connect a first cable thereto and to secure the first cable on the connection side (A) of the first shield transfer element ( 5 ),

wherein the second plug connector module ( 3 ) is configured to connect a second cable thereto and to secure the second cable on the connection side (A) of the second shield transfer element ( 6 ), and

wherein the first shield transfer element ( 5 ) and the second shield transfer elements ( 6 ) can be electrically contact-connected to one another on their respective plug sides.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first shield transfer element ( 5 ) is bent in a wave-shaped manner on the plug side (S).

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first shield transfer element has, on the plug side (S), at least one slot ( 7 ) which runs parallel to a plugging direction (SR).

4. The system as claimed in claim 3 ,

wherein the first shield transfer element has, on the plug side (S), three slots ( 7 ) which run parallel to the plugging direction (SR).

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first shield transfer element ( 5 ) is bent in a wave-shaped manner on the plug side (S), and

wherein the first shield transfer element has, on the plug side (S), at least one slot ( 7 ) which runs parallel to the plugging direction (SR), and

wherein the at least one slot ( 7 ) runs in a region of the wave-shaped bend.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second shield transfer element ( 6 ) is of continuously flat design.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first and the second shield transfer element ( 5 , 6 ) have, on the connection side (A), two opposite notches ( 10 ) and as a result are of T-shaped configuration.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein a width of the first shield transfer element ( 5 ) is smaller on the connection side (A) than on the plug side (S), and

wherein a width of the second shield transfer element ( 6 ) is smaller on the connection side (A) than on the plug side (S).

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first and the second shield transfer element ( 5 , 6 ) have a cable fixing element on the connection side (A).

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 ,

wherein the cable fixing element is designed as a hose clip ( 9 ).

11. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first and the second shield transfer element ( 5 , 6 ) each cover a side surface of the plug connector module ( 2 , 3 ) at least in regions.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 ,

wherein the first and the second shield transfer element ( 5 , 6 ) cover at least 75% of the respective side surface of the plug connector module ( 2 , 3 ).

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 ,

wherein the first and the second shield transfer element ( 5 , 6 ) cover at least 90% of the respective side surface of the plug connector module ( 2 , 3 ).

14. The system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first and the second plug connector module ( 2 , 3 ) each have at least three contact elements ( 11 , 11 ′) by way of each of which a current with a current intensity of at least 16 Amperes can be transmitted.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14 ,

wherein the first and the second plug connector module ( 2 , 3 ) each have a holding plate ( 12 ) by way of which the contact elements ( 11 , 11 ′) can be secured in the plug connector module ( 2 , 3 ).
