Abstract

A method for assembling an angled plug connector with a plug connector housing, which has a through channel preferably angled at a right angle in order to receive conductor components extending at an angle relative to one another, wherein a first conductor component introduced from one side (X) into the through channel in the interior of the through channel is connected by non-positive and/or by positive engagement to a second conductor component introduced from the other side (Y) into the through channel. Additionally, an assembly unit for carrying out the method is presented.

First claim

Thus, having described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A method for assembling an angled plug connector with a plug connector housing comprising a through-channel angled at a right angle and designed to accommodate conductor components extending at an angle relative to one another, wherein a first conductor component introduced into the through-channel from one side (X) is, in the interior of the through-channel, connected in one of a form- or force-locking manner with a second conductor component which is introduced into the through-channel from an other side (Y), said method including the following steps in the order named:
a) the first conductor component is held, in a force-locking manner, in an assembly position (I) in the through-channel from which it can be introduced further into the through-channel;
b) the second conductor component is introduced into the through-channel from the other side (Y) and comes to rest against a limit stop at a first end position (II), wherein said second conductor component is connected electrically and mechanically at an end of a coaxial cable; and
c) the first conductor component is introduced further into the through-channel as far as a second end position (III) where the first conductor component is connected in a one of the form- or the force-locking manner with the second conductor component.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the through-channel is limited by an inner wall of the plug connector housing which is formed in a single piece.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first conductor component is pressed together with the second conductor component in the interior of the through-channel.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein each of the conductor components comprises at least one inner conductor and an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor, at least in sections, wherein the outer conductors of the first and the second conductor components are pressed together with one another.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein during pressing an over-dimensioned, substantially tubular wall section of the first outer conductor is pressed into an opening of the second outer conductor.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein during pressing together of the first and the second outer conductors, the inner conductor of the first conductor component is brought into electrical contact with the inner conductor of the second conductor component, preferably in a form- or force-locking manner.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the inner conductor of the first conductor component has a pin-formed section protruding into the interior of the channel which is clamped in a clamping section of the inner conductor of the second conductor component.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein during pressing an over-dimensioned, substantially tubular wall section of the first outer conductor is pressed into an opening of the second outer conductor.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein during pressing together of the first and second outer conductors, the inner conductor of the first conductor component is brought into electrical contact with the inner conductor of the second conductor component, preferably in a form- or force-locking manner.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the inner conductor of the first conductor component has a pin-formed section protruding into the interior of the channel which is clamped in a clamping section of the inner conductor of the second conductor component.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the through-channel is limited by an inner wall of the plug connector housing which is formed in a single piece.

12. The method of claim 1 , further including at least two sealing elements, accommodated in the through-channel, wherein one sealing element prevents the penetration of liquid into the interior of the channel from one side and the second sealing element prevents the penetration of liquid into the interior of the channel from one side when a mating plug connector is coupled with the angled plug connector.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein said at least two sealing elements comprise sealing rings.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first conductor component comprises an interface for coupling with a complementary mating plug connector, wherein the interface has an outer conductor, for example a spring bush, and an inner conductor held therein by an insulating part.

15. The method of claim 14 , including attaching the second conductor component to one end of a coaxial cable and comprising an inner conductor and an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor, at least in sections.

16. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first conductor component comprises an interface for coupling with a complementary mating plug connector, wherein the interface has an outer conductor, for example a spring bush, and an inner conductor held therein by an insulating part.

17. The method of claim 16 , including attaching the second conductor component to one end of a coaxial cable and comprising an inner conductor and an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor, at least in sections.

18. An assembly unit for manufacturing an angled plug connector, said assembly unit comprising:
a plug connector housing with an angled through-channel designed to accommodate conductor components extending at an angle relative to one another; and
a first conductor component which is first introduced into the through-channel from one side (X) and is held therein, in a force-locking manner, in an assembly position (I) from which it can then be pushed even further into the through-channel, and which is so designed that by inserting it further into the through-channel as far as an end position (III) it can next be connected in one of a form- or force-locking manner, in particular pressed together, with a second conductor component which is introduced into the through-channel from an other side (Y), and wherein said second conductor component is connected electrically and mechanically at an end of a coaxial cable.
