Abstract

A plug-in connector has a plug-in connector housing, an insulating body and a contact. The plug-in connector is rectangular and is designed to be mounted on a device wall or on another surface. The contact of the plug-in connector is also rectangular and in the form of a single piece. A two-part insulating body which is placed in the plug-in connector housing from two directions is necessary for assembling the plug-in connector.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A plug connector, which has a plug connector housing, an insulating body arranged in the plug connector housing and an electrical contact arranged in the insulating body,
wherein the plug connector forms a plug side and an assembly side,
wherein the plug side and the assembly side are arranged at an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to one another,
wherein the electrical contact is bent at a right angle and forms a first contact side in the plug side of the plug connector
and a second contact side in the assembly side of the plug connector, and is rotatably mounted within the plug connector housing,
wherein the first contact side and the second contact side project out of the plug connector housing, at least in some regions,
wherein the assembly side has a fastening flange provided on opposite sides of the plug connector housing for assembling the plug connector, and
wherein the plug side has at least one lock for locking the plug connector to a mating plug connector.

2. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first contact side is formed as a contact socket or contact pin and the second contact side is formed as a contact socket or contact pin.

3. The plug connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first contact side and the second contact side are formed in a similar manner.

4. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug side and the assembly side are formed on two adjacent adjoining sides of the plug connector housing.

5. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulating body comprises at least two parts, a plug-side first insulating body part and an assembly-side second insulating body part.

6. The plug connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first insulating body part and the second insulating body part are adapted to be latched to one another.

7. The plug connector as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the electrical contact is held mechanically in an insulting body part.

8. The plug connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the electrical contact is held mechanically in an insulating body part.

9. The plug connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein at least one of the insulating body parts is formed in two parts.

10. The plug connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first insulating body part is adapted to be inserted into the plug connector housing through the plug side thereof and the second insulating body part is adapted to be inserted into the plug connector housing via the assembly side thereof.

11. The plug connector as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the first insulating body part and the second insulating body part are adapted to be latched to one another.

12. The plug connector as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the electrical contact is held mechanically in an insulting body part.

13. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the assembly is an assembly flange having at least one fastening bore.

14. A method for assembling a plug connector,
wherein the plug connector has a plug connector housing, an insulating body and an electrical contact,
wherein the insulating body is formed from at least one first insulating body part and one second insulating body part,
wherein the plug connector forms a plug side and an assembly side, wherein the assembly side has a fastening flange provided on opposite sides of the connector for assembling the plug connector, wherein the plug side and the assembly side are arranged at an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to one another,
wherein the plug side has at least one lock for locking the plug connector to a mating plug connector, wherein
the electrical contact is bent at a right angle and is rotatably arranged in one of the insulating body parts,
the one insulating body part with the electrical contact received therein is inserted into the plug side or the assembly side of the plug connector housing by a rotational movement, and
the further insulating body part is inserted into the assembly side or the plug side of the plug connector housing,

wherein the first contact side and the second contact side project out of the plug connector housing, at least in some regions, and
wherein the two insulating body parts latch to one another in the plug connector housing.
