DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for making contact with a multipole female strip connector for plug connections with coaxial connecting cables.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the case of the known female strip connectors, special coaxial connectors, which occupy a relatively large amount of space, are snapped in when high connective quality is required. A further disadvantage of these connectors is that they interfere with the standard connector geometry. In the case of less stringent quality requirements, the inner conductor is provided with a normal crimped spring, and the shield is clamped on the metallic housing. If it is intended to shield coaxial junctions using an intermediate grid size, the shield must be separated out, twisted to form a conductor, and likewise has a crimped spring attached. All the methods mentioned here are complex and expensive and demand complex special tools or manual activities.
The object of the present invention is to specify a method for making contact with a multipole female strip connector for plug connections with coaxial connecting wires, which method can be carried out easily and is not as complex as the known methods.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the method of the present invention, this object is achieved as claimed in the invention by the female strip connector being composed of a plurality of plastic disks which are designed in such a manner that at least a first of their sides is designed to accommodate insulation-piercing terminals and contact springs which are integrally connected to them.
In each case one insulation-piercing terminal for the inner conductor and one insulation-piercing terminal for the shield mesh, are arranged in alignment one behind the other, for each coaxial connecting cable.
The insulation-piercing terminals for the inner conductors and the associated contact springs are arranged in alignment one behind the other.
The insulation-piercing terminals for the shield mesh are connected via a cross-connection to shield contact springs which are arranged alongside the contact springs for the inner conductors, an opposing second side of each disk has correspondingly formed overmolded pressure pieces which are used to press the inner conductors and the shield meshes into the respective insulation-piercing terminals.
Therefore, of the two opposite sides of each disk, one side has receptacles for pressing pins which are fitted on the other side.
The plastic disks which are preassembled with the insulation-piercing terminals and contact springs held spaced apart within a pressing tool by the pressing pins, which are designed to be a force fit.
The coaxial connecting wires, which are cut to length and have free inner conductors at their ends, are pushed into these plastic disks, which are preassembled spaced apart, in the insertion direction of the female strip connector.
The plastic disks are pressed together by means of the pressing tool.
The method as claimed in the invention has the advantage that it can be carried out easily, since there is no need to use special connectors, or special, complex method steps.
In accordance with the present invention, a method for making contact between a multi-pole female strip connector for plug connections in a plurality of coaxial connecting cables is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a disconnected female strip connector comprising a plurality of adjacent plastic disks including a plurality of internal plastic disks arranged in a parallel and aligned fashion between a pair of opposing first and second external plastic disks. Each internal plastic disk includes two opposing sides including a first side that is connected to two spaced-apart insulation-piercing terminals. The first side of each internal plastic disk also is connected to two contact springs, one contact spring being connected to each insulation-piercing terminal. The second opposing side of each internal plastic disk comprises at least two spaced-apart pressure members. The external disks ea
