Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly for installation in a housing, in particular gearbox or motor housing, of a motor vehicle, which comprises a support plate and a connector attached to the support plate and designed as a separate part, the connector being provided for this in the installed state through a connector opening protrude from the housing.
  • Oil-tight connectors are used to route electrical signals out of the gearbox or motor housing.
  • suitable measures must be taken to compensate for installation tolerances in order to make the connector flexible.
  • the connector when installed, must meet high requirements for vibration resistance and long-term sealing in difficult environmental conditions (vibrations up to about 33 g, temperature changes in the range from -40 ° to 140 ° C, ATF oil as the ambient medium).
  • a gearbox connector is already known, the contact pins of which are attached in the base region to a lead frame which is guided in the support plate.
  • the connector base on the support body Through a suitable design of the lead frame and a tiltable linkage the connector base on the support body, the connector can be flexibly aligned within a certain tolerance range.
  • the difficulties of this solution are the relatively high space requirement (a certain minimum distance must be maintained between the support plate and the housing) and the risk of material fatigue occurring in the area of the connections between the contact pins and the lead frame.
  • Another known possibility is to provide a rigid connection between the connector and the support body and to achieve the required tolerance compensation by means of a thick sealing O-ring which is pushed onto the connector.
  • This solution is not suitable for compensating for large tolerances and, moreover, does not allow optimum mechanical relief of the connector in the transition area to the support plate.
  • European patent application EP 0 908 974 A2 describes a transmission connector which is attached to the support plate via an intermediate element.
  • the intermediate element has a slide rail in which the gear plug can be displaced in a predetermined direction parallel to the support plate. Due to the displaceability of the gear plug, tolerance compensation is not possible, since the displacement takes place coaxially to the axis of the plug opening.

  • the gap width between an outer circumference of the base section of the plug connector and the inner circumference of the receptacle can be dimensioned in such a way that even with large installation tolerances there are no bending stresses on the plug connector.
  • a damping ring is preferably provided, which is arranged and forced on the plug connector in the installed state between a support surface on the base section of the plug connector and the housing.
  • the damping ring aligns the connector with the plug opening when installing the module and fixes it in the installed position.
  • a preferred embodiment of the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that at the level of the support plate surface facing the plug opening, complementarily shaped engagement sections are provided on the receptacle and plug base.
  • the engagement sections on the plug base and on the support plate form support surfaces for the damping ring.
  • the engagement sections ensure that the connector is secured against rotation in the support plate. If the connector is subjected to torsional stress during installation of the module or in vehicle operation, the anti-rotation device ensures that the forces generated are absorbed with only a minimal twisting of the connector and therefore do not attack the electrical leads (e.g. flexible printed circuit board).
