Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spring connector for printed circuits.
  • Spring connectors are known, which sit on a printed circuit board and reach through openings in the board at least with soldering legs.
  • a spring connector type is suitable, e.g. B. to contact and hold a relay that is inserted into the plug opening of the spring connector.
  • Another type of spring connector can accommodate pluggable electrical flat fuse elements. Since a relay is usually thicker and requires different contact conditions (e.g. insertion depth) than an electrical flat fuse, two different connector types have previously been required for these electrical elements.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a spring connector that is able to equally effectively a relay or a flat fuse or To record and contact the same different electrical elements.
  • the new spring connector 1 passes through an opening 2 of the plate 3, which is only partially shown and has printed circuits (not shown). With its contact area, the spring connector 1 projects beyond the surface of the plate 3 as shown.
  • the spring connector 1 is formed in one piece and has a box-shaped cross-section which is essentially rectangular, the box shape being open at the top and bottom and forming plug regions.
  • the connector has the front wall 4, the rear wall 5 and the side walls 6 and 7.
  • each contact spring arm 9, 10 is longer than the height of the connector 1 and - as shown in FIG. 3 - bent inwards by about 170 so that the spring arms 9 or 10 lying opposite one another run into contact with one another in the upper third of the connector and form the contact region 11.
  • the spring arms in the contact area 11 are preferably spherical in cross section (FIG. 1), so that a defined, almost punctiform contact area 11 results.
  • the spring arms 9, 10 are viewed from the side (FIG. 3) in an arc towards the walls 4.5 and can be supported against webs 12 arranged on the upper edge of the walls 4.5, so that the spring arms against Overbend are protected.
  • This overbend protection is ensured by the fact that gaps 13 are provided between the webs 12, which can be penetrated by webs 15 remaining on the end edge 14 of the spring arms 9, 10, which are narrower than the width of the gaps 13 and the spring arms themselves, until the edges 14 abut the webs 12.
  • the side wall 7 connecting the walls 4 and 5 is divided into the upper wall 15 and the lower wall 16 for reasons of weight saving and to facilitate the bending processes in the manufacture of the new spring connector, a relatively wide recess 17 being provided in between.
  • the side wall 6, is continuous from top to bottom (FIG. 3) and is connected to the wall 5, but preferably only via a hinge web 18, which is approximately in the middle Area of the wall 5 is located.
  • a T-shaped tab 20 viewed from the side, is connected to the free end edge 19, the web 21 of which extends through a correspondingly wide and long cutout 22 on the free end edge 23 of the wall 4, so that the end regions of the T- Piece 24 of the tab 20 locking.
  • the spring connector can be anchored in the plate 3 in any manner.
  • flaps 26 are cut out of the walls 4 and 5, preferably in the area of the space x, which are bent outwards and downwards so that their free end edges can rest on the plate surface.
  • soldering legs 27 are arranged on the lower edge 28 of the side walls 6 and 7, the side walls 6 and 7 preferably being longer than the walls 4 and 5 and being inserted into the openings 2 in the plate 3.
  • the solder legs 27 protrude in alignment with the respective wall from the opening 2 downwards (FIG. 2, right side) or are bent outwards in a semicircle so that they can be supported against the undersurface of the plate 3, thereby a particularly suitable anchoring of the Spring connector 1 is guaranteed in the plate 3.
  • the new spring connector is suitable for plugging in both a relay and a flat fuse or the like of different electrical elements because it offers a short plug-in path at the top and a long plug-in path from below. Relays are therefore preferably inserted from below, i.e. from the soldering leg area, and fuses from above.
  • the particularly large length of the spring arms ensures a very elastic spring force. In conjunction with the overbend protection, electrical elements with considerable thickness tolerances can be securely inserted, held and contacted.
