Abstract

Provided is a modular housing output system provided for conducting electronic signals out of a housing by electric contacts. The modular housing output system boasts a particularly large panoply of variants as a result of the modular use of different housing output ports. Housing output ports providing very different connection possibilities can be connected to the housing via a uniform interface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A modular housing outlet system, comprising a housing with an outlet opening, a printed circuit card which is arranged in the housing and also a housing outlet port, wherein
the housing outlet port having a housing connecting side and a cable outlet side, the housing outlet port having a plurality of electrical contacts extending through the housing outlet port the housing connection side to the cable outlet side,
the plurality of electrical contacts are held in the housing outlet port in a captive manner,
the printed circuit card has a plurality of bores which are in the form of press-in zones,
the printed circuit card is arranged within the housing in front of the outlet opening,
the press-in zones of the printed circuit card are accessible through the outlet opening in the housing,
the housing connection side of the housing outlet port is designed such that it corresponds to the outlet opening in the housing in a form-fitting manner and can be locked in the outlet opening in the housing,
the electrical contacts form press-in contacts on the housing connection side of the housing outlet port, and are provided for pressing into at least one of the press-in zones, wherein
the plurality of press-in zones is greater in number than the plurality of electrical contacts, wherein the press-in contacts make contact with some of the press-in zones, with other press-in zones being free, depending on the configuration of the housing outlet port.

2. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cable outlet side of the housing outlet port is designed to make contact with and to interlock with a plug-type connector.

3. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein on the cable outlet side of the housing outlet port an outgoing cable is provided which is connected to the at least one electrical contact.

4. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the housing outlet port is of multipartite design, and the cable outlet side is provided such that it can rotate in relation to the housing connection side.

5. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the housing outlet port is of multipartite design, and the cable outlet side is provided such that it can rotate in relation to the housing connection side.

6. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printed circuit card is locked in the housing.

7. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the printed circuit card is locked in the housing.

8. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the printed circuit card is locked in the housing.

9. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the printed circuit card is locked in the housing.

10. The modular housing outlet system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the printed circuit card is locked in the housing.
