DATA CABLE CONNECTOR MODULE AND PROCESS FOR ITS ASSEMBLY TO CABLE
First Claim
1. Data cable connector module, comprising:
- a fixation element for positioning and fixating cable conductors of a multi-core cable and for being connected to one end of the cable, the fixation element comprising;
conductor receiving units with a conductor guide and connection openings for bent IDCs;
IDC receiving units with contact openings for reception of connected IDCs;
a fixation element housing; and
a centric metallic shield which shields pairs of conductors relative to each other and is electrically conductively connected to the fixation element housing;
anda changeable contact module which is detachably connectable with the fixation element, the contact module comprising;
a metal contact module housing;
an isolation socket arranged in the contact module housing for reception of bent slide contacts with connector ends for the connection with a circuit board;
at least one circuit board positioned between the slide contacts and plug-in contacts of the module, the at least one circuit board connecting the connector ends of the slide contacts with the plug-in contacts of the module;
a front connector face for external connectors; and
a fixation element port connector face with an end isolator block for guiding the plug-in contacts of the module,wherein the fixation element and the contact module are constructed in a form enabling contact to be established between them by electrically conductive connection of the module plug-in contacts with the IDCs, so that the cable conductors of the fixation element are electrically conductively connected with the slide contacts of the contact module.

5. Process for assembling a data cable connector module comprising the steps of:
-
manufacturing a fixation element connected to a data cable by; removing of a cable mantle exposing isolated conductors of a data cable; insertion of the isolated conductors into conductor sockets with IDC openings; insertion of bent ends of IDCs into the IDC openings of the conductor sockets by cutting the conductor isolation and contacting the conductors; pushing the IDC sockets over free ends of the IDCs; providing a shield with outer shield elements between the IDC sockets; inserting a fixation element assembly formed of IDCs, IDC sockets, and conductors produced by the preceding steps into a fixation element housing;
andmanufacturing of a contact module by; preparing bent slide contacts with connection ends and slide contact areas; insertion of the bent slide contacts into an isolation socket; connection of at least one circuit board to the connection ends of the slide contacts; connection of plug-in contacts to the at least one circuit board by establishing an electrically conductive connection between the slide contacts and the module plug-in contacts by the circuit board; insertion of plugs in at least one end isolation socket and insertion of the module assembly produced by the preceding steps in a contact module housing. - View Dependent Claims (6)
