Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0151715A2] An explosion-proof plug connector (1) contains a socket carrier (13), supported rotatably in a housing (3), having plug sockets (59) for plug pins (4) of a plug (2) which can be inserted therein. Behind the socket carrier (13), in the housing (3) there is a switching device via which the sockets (59) can be electrically connected to the associated connecting terminals (8) arranged in the housing (3). The switching device has two sets of switching contacts (61, 51), one of which is electrically connected to the sockets (59) and the other is electrically connected to the connecting terminals (8). A movable retaining member prevents twisting of the socket carrier (13) when the plug (2) is not pushed in, by which means it is ensured that the switching device can be switched on only with the plug (2) inserted. To minimise the number of switching contacts, the switching contacts (61) of the switching device which are electrically connected to the sockets (59) are anchored on the socket carrier (13) and are engaged immediately on rotation of the socket carrier (13) with the associated switching contacts (51), which are connected to the connecting terminals (8). In this way, the switching contacts (51) of at least one set are sprung. <IMAGE>
