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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

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 ).
