Abstract

An HF angle plug connector having an exterior conductor component and an interior conductor component, wherein the interior conductor component has a fastening element for mechanical and electrical connection to an interior conductor component of a coaxial cable, wherein the exterior conductor component has a cable-side end on which the coaxial cable is arranged and a front face opposite the cable-side end, the front face being transected by a longitudinal axis of the installed coaxial cable, and wherein an inspection opening is on the exterior conductor component such that the fastening element of the interior conductor component is visible through the inspection opening after installation of the interior conductor component of the coaxial cable on the fastening element of the interior conductor component, wherein a cover component for closing the inspection opening is one piece with the exterior conductor component.

Claims

1. An HF angle plug connector including an exterior conductor component and an interior conductor component, wherein the interior conductor component comprises a fastening element for mechanical and electrical connection to an interior conductor component of a coaxial cable, wherein the exterior conductor component comprises a cable-side end on which the coaxial cable is arranged and a front face opposite the cable-side end, said front face being transected by a longitudinal axis of the installed coaxial cable, and including an inspection opening on the exterior conductor component such that the fastening element of the interior conductor component is visible through the inspection opening after installation of the interior conductor component of the coaxial cable on the fastening element of the interior conductor component, wherein a cover component for closing the inspection opening is designed in one piece with the exterior conductor component, such that the inspection opening is on the front face of the exterior conductor component.

2. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, including a coding housing arranged on the exterior conductor component in such a way that the coding housing rotatable relative to the exterior conductor component.

3. The HF angle plug connector of claim 2, including a mechanical coding for a complementary HF-plug connector formed on the coding housing.

4. The HF angle plug connector of claim 2, wherein the coding housing can have mechanical dimensions in its interface region which are intended to allow the coding housing to conform to the DIN standard 72594-1:

6. The HF angle plug connector of claim 2, wherein the coding housing includes an elastically deformable snap-in tongue which is arranged and designed in such a way that the snap-in tongue fixes predetermined angular positions of the coding housing relative to the exterior conductor component and unlocks when a complementary plug is plugged into the coding housing, so that, in its plugged state, the coding housing is freely rotatable in relation to the exterior conductor component.

7. The HF angle plug connector of claim 2, wherein the coding housing includes a locking element for mechanical locking with a coding housing of a complementary plug connector.

8. The HF angle plug connector of claim 7, including an extension element arranged on the locking element displaceable along the locking element.

9. The HF angle plug connector of claim 7, wherein the locking element is designed as a rocker.

10. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, wherein the cover component comprises at least one flap which is connected in a single piece with the exterior conductor component on the edge of the inspection opening.

11. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, wherein the cover component comprises two flaps arranged on opposite edges of the inspection opening and which are integrally connected with the exterior conductor component, wherein each flap is approximately half the size of the inspection opening.

12. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, wherein the cover component and the exterior conductor component comprise identical materials.

13. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, wherein the exterior conductor component and the cover component are formed in a single piece as a stamped and bent part.

14. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, wherein the inspection opening is rectangular in form.

15. The HF angle plug connector of claim 1, wherein the front face of the exterior conductor component is arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the installed coaxial cable.

16. The HF angle plug connector of claim 3, wherein the coding housing can have mechanical dimensions in its interface region which are intended to allow the coding housing to conform to the DIN standard 72594-1:
