Abstract

The invention relates to an RJ45 connector ( 1 ) with a baseboard ( 10 ) for connecting to conductors ( 22 ) of a cable ( 20 ), and with a plurality of insulation displacement contacts ( 12 ) to accept the conductors ( 22 ), wherein the insulation displacement contacts ( 12 ) are arranged in two rows ( 14, 16 ) on one side of said baseboard ( 10 ), the two rows ( 14, 16 ) are positioned at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the cable ( 20 ) to be connected, and the RJ45 connector ( 1 ) comprises a guide device ( 30 ) to guide the conductors ( 22 ) for connection to the row ( 16 ) of insulation displacement contacts ( 12 ) that is further from the end of the cable, wherein the guide device ( 30 ) has ramps ( 34 ) made in an arc shape to guide the conductors ( 22 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An RJ45 plug connector, comprising:
a planar baseboard for connecting to conductors of a cable, and
a plurality of insulation displacement contacts to accept the conductors,
wherein:
the insulation displacement contacts are arranged in two rows on one side of the planar baseboard,
the two rows are positioned at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the cable to be connected, and
the RJ45 plug connector comprises a guide device to guide the conductors for connection to the row of insulation displacement contacts that is further away from the end of the cable,

characterised in that:
the guide device has ramps made in an arc shape to guide the conductors to the row of insulation displacement contacts that is further away from the end of the cable.

2. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device is configured to guide all conductors of the cable for connection to the insulation displacement contacts.

3. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the ramps are open on the side thereof facing the planar baseboard.

4. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device has insertion openings, into which the conductors can be introduced.

5. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the insulation displacement contacts of the first and second row are identical.

6. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device is configured to guide the conductors, starting from the planar baseboard, above the insulation displacement contacts of the first row for connection to the insulation displacement contacts of the second row.

7. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the RJ45 connector comprises a housing, on which the guide device is held.

8. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 7 , characterised in that:
the housing has two housing shells and
the planar baseboard is mounted on the first housing shell and the guide device is mounted on the second housing shell.

9. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 8 , characterised in that the housing shells are interconnected pivotably.

10. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 7 , characterised in that the planar baseboard is mounted parallel to a wall of the housing.

11. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device has immersion pockets for accepting the insulation displacement contacts.

12. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device has clamping elements and is configured to hold the conductors in a clamped manner by means of the clamping elements.

13. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device has a guide portion, which extends in a plane parallel to the planar baseboard.

14. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 1 , characterised in that the guide device is produced from plastic.

15. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 2 , characterised in that the ramps are open on the side thereof facing the planar baseboard.

16. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 2 , characterised in that the guide device has insertion openings, into which the conductors can be introduced.

17. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 3 , characterised in that the guide device has insertion openings, into which the conductors can be introduced.

18. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 15 , characterised in that the guide device has insertion openings, into which the conductors can be introduced.

19. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 2 , characterised in that the insulation displacement contacts of the first and second row are identical.

20. The RJ45 plug connector according to claim 3 , characterised in that the insulation displacement contacts of the first and second row are identical.
