Abstract

Provided is a plug to be mechanically and electrically connected to a corresponding mating plug, comprising a housing, a protective conductor bridge, a retaining frame, and a plug insert; the retaining frame is mounted on the housing and includes at least one connecting section to be connected to the plug insert, and the plug insert is mounted on the at least one connecting section; the protective conductor bridge is laterally inserted into the retaining frame.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A plug connector for mechanically and electrically connecting to a corresponding mating plug connector, said plug connector comprising a housing, a protective conductor bridge, a holding frame and a plug insert,
wherein the holding frame is held on the housing, the holding frame comprises at least one connecting region for connecting to the plug insert, and the plug insert is held on the at least one connecting region,
wherein the protective conductor bridge is inserted laterally into the holding frame, wherein
the at least one connecting region is embodied so as to produce a screw connection to the plug insert,
the at least one connecting region comprises a first through-going hole, the protective conductor bridge comprises at least one link having a second through-going hole, and
the second through-going hole is aligned to the first through-going hole

wherein the protective conductor bridge includes a link arranged in a slot in the holding frame, and
wherein the protective conductor bridge comprises two pairs of latches that are embodied on the axial end regions of said protective conductor bridge.

2. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first through-going hole is embodied with an inner thread.

3. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a screwing sleeve is inserted in the holding region in the connecting region.

4. The plug connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the screwing sleeve is produced from metal.

5. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the protective conductor bridge comprises at least one pair of parallel links having in each case a second and third through-going hole, and
the second and third through-going holes are aligned.

6. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second of the links lies on the connecting region of the holding frame.

7. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective conductor bridge comprises two pairs of latches that are embodied on the axial end regions of said protective conductor bridge.

8. The plug connector as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the protective conductor bridge comprises two pairs of latches that are embodied on the axial end regions of said protective conductor bridge.

9. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding frame comprises a fastener for connecting the holding frame to the housing.

10. The plug connector as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the fastener comprises a latch device for engaging with a corresponding latch device of the housing.

11. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective conductor bridge is produced as one part from a metal sheet.

12. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is produced from synthetic material.

13. The plug connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holding frame is produced from synthetic material.

14. A plug connector for mechanically and electrically connecting to a corresponding mating plug connector, said plug connector comprising a housing, a protective conductor bridge, a holding frame and a plug insert,
wherein the holding frame is held on the housing, the holding frame comprises at least one connecting region for connecting to the plug insert, and the plug insert is held on the at least one connecting region,
wherein the protective conductor bridge is inserted laterally into the holding frame, wherein
the at least one connecting region is embodied so as to produce a screw connection to the plug insert,
the at least one connecting region comprises a first through-going hole,
the protective conductor bridge comprises at least one link having a second through-going hole, and
the second through-going hole is aligned to the first through-going hole,

wherein the second of the links lies on the connecting region of the holding frame, and
wherein the protective conductor bridge comprises two pairs of latches that are embodied on the axial end regions of said protective conductor bridge.

15. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the first through-going hole is embodied with an inner thread.

16. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein a screwing sleeve is inserted in the holding region in the connecting region.

17. The plug connector as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the screwing sleeve is produced from metal.

18. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the protective conductor bridge comprises at least one pair of parallel links having in each case a second and third through-going hole, and
the second and third through-going holes are symmetrical in a circular manner.

19. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the holding frame comprises a fastener for connecting the holding frame to the housing.

20. The plug connector as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the fastener comprises a latch device for engaging with a corresponding latch device of the housing.

21. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the protective conductor bridge is produced as one part from a metal sheet.

22. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the housing is produced from synthetic material.

23. The plug connector as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the holding frame is produced from synthetic material.
