Abstract

A contact element (1) is used for connecting loose power leads (12) to a printed-circuit board (10), which contact element (1) is electrically conductively connected to the printed-circuit board (10) by means of integrally formed solder tabs (2), and is provided with at least one opening (6, 8) for holding the power leads (12), in which opening the power leads (12) are clamped in a positive-locking manner such that they make an electrical contact. The openings (6, 8) preferably have the shape of holes whose diameter is somewhat smaller than that of the power leads (12). One opening (6) is connected to one of the outer edges (4) of the contact element (1) by a wedge-shaped cut-out (5) which is continued in the shape of a slot up to the second opening. The contact element is especially suitable for electronic ballast units in compact low-pressure discharge lamps and makes the removal of oxide from the power leads (12) superfluous. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kontaktelement zur Verbindung von lose geführten Stromzuführungen mit einer Leiterplatte.The invention relates to a contact element for connecting loosely guided power supplies to a printed circuit board.

Eine solche elektrische Verbindung wird beispielsweise bei kompakten Leuchtstofflampen benötigt, bei denen ein Entladungsgefäß mit seinen vier Stromzuführungen mit einer eine elektronische Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung halternden Leiterplatte elektrisch-leitend verbunden wird. Dabei ist die Leiterplatte mit der Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung in einem Gehäuse angeordnet, das auch das Entladungsgefäß haltert und das mit einem Sockel zum direkten Anschluß der Einheit an eine Versorgungsspannung versehen ist.Such an electrical connection is required, for example, in the case of compact fluorescent lamps in which a discharge vessel with its four current leads is connected in an electrically conductive manner to a circuit board holding an electronic ballast and ignition device. The circuit board with the ballast and ignition device is arranged in a housing which also holds the discharge vessel and which is provided with a base for direct connection of the unit to a supply voltage.

Bei der Fertigung der Entladungsgefäße, insbesondere bei der Herstellung der Gefäßabdichtung, werden die einzelnen Lampenteile auf eine Verarbeitungstemperatur von mehr als 500 C erwärmt. Hierbei bildet sich auf den Stromzuführungen eine elektrisch-nichtleitende Oxidschicht aus, die beim Verlöten dieser Stromzuführungen mit der die Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung halternden Leiterplatte hinderlich ist. So muß vor dem ohnehin zeit- und kostenaufwendigen Lötvorgang die Oxidschicht auf mechanischem Weg entfernt werden. Häufig stellten sich nachträglich kalte Lötstellen zwischen den dünnen Stromzuführungen und der Leiterplatte heraus, die eine mühsame Fehlersuche mit entsprechenden Nachbesserungsarbeiten erforderlich machten.During the manufacture of the discharge vessels, in particular during the manufacture of the vessel seal, the individual lamp parts are heated to a processing temperature of more than 500 ° C. In this case, an electrically non-conductive oxide layer forms on the current leads, which is a hindrance when these current leads are soldered to the circuit board holding the ballast and ignition device. So the oxide layer must be removed mechanically before the anyway time-consuming and costly soldering process. Cold solder joints between the thin power supply lines and the printed circuit board often emerged afterwards, which made laborious troubleshooting with corresponding rework necessary.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Kontaktierung zwischen den Stromzuführungen eines Entladungsgefäßes und der mit diesem fest zu verbindenden Leiterplatte derart zu gestalten, daß eine sichere elektrische Verbindung entsteht, wobei die Stromzuführungen zuvor nicht in einen lötfähigen Zustand gebracht werden müssen.The object of the invention is to design the contact between the current leads of a discharge vessel and the circuit board to be firmly connected to it in such a way that a secure electrical connection is created, the current leads not having to be brought into a solderable state beforehand.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Kontaktelement mit den im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs genannten Merkmalen dadurch gelöst, daß das Kontaktelement auf der Leiterplatte befestigt und mit mindestens einer Öffnung versehen ist, in der eine Stromzuführung des Entladungsgefäßes kraftschlüssig und kontaktierend eingeklemmt ist. Die Öffnung ist hierbei eine Bohrung, deren Durchmesser kleiner als der der Stromzuführung ist. Des weiteren ist die Öffnung und eine der Außenkanten des Kontaktelementes durch einen Einschnitt mit vorzugsweise etwa keilförmiger Gestalt versehen, der sich etwa bis zu der Bohrung erstreckt. Hierdurch läßt sich die Stromzuführung leicht einführen und wird dann in der Bohrung eingeklemmt, wobei sie von der an ihr haftenden Oxidschicht freigeschabt wird. Diese Verbindungsart ist insbesondere für die maschinelle Fertigung von größeren Stückzahlen geeignet, wie sie bei den hier beschriebenen Kompaktlampen zu erwarten sind. Anstelle des keilförmigen kann auch ein einfacher schlitzförmiger Einschnitt zu der Bohrung führen, wobei in diesem Fall zur Erlangung des gleichen vorteilhaften Resultats die beiden entstehenden Hälften oberhalb der Bohrung gegeneinander aus ihrer Ebene herausgebogen werden müssen. Unterhalb der Bohrung kann sich in beiden zuvor geschilderten Ausführungsformen der Einschnitt schlitzartig fortsetzen und in einer zweiten Bohrung münden. Auf diese Weise läßt sich die Klemmwirkung des Kontaktelements und somit die Kontaktgabe zur Stromzuführung noch weiter verbessern.This object is achieved in a contact element with the features mentioned in the preamble of the main claim in that the contact element is fastened to the circuit board and is provided with at least one opening in which a current supply of the discharge vessel is clamped in a force-locking and contacting manner. The opening is a hole whose diameter is smaller than that of the power supply. Furthermore, the opening and one of the outer edges of the contact element is provided with an incision, preferably with an approximately wedge-shaped shape, which extends approximately up to the bore. As a result, the power supply can be easily inserted and is then clamped in the bore, being scraped free of the oxide layer adhering to it. This type of connection is particularly suitable for the mechanical production of large quantities, as can be expected in the compact lamps described here. Instead of the wedge-shaped, a simple slot-shaped incision can also lead to the bore, in which case the two halves formed above the bore must be bent out of their plane against one another in order to achieve the same advantageous result. In both of the above-described embodiments, the incision can continue underneath the bore in a slot-like manner and open into a second bore. In this way, the clamping effect of the contact element and thus the contact for power supply can be further improved.

An der Unterseite ist das Kontaktelement mit mindestens einer vorzugsweise sich verjüngenden stiftartigen Verlängerung versehen, die in Löcher, die in der Leiterplatte vorgesehen sind, eingesetzt und dort mittels einer Lötverbindung mit hier vorhandenen Leiterbahnen befestigt werden. Die sich nach unten verjüngende Ausgestaltung der Lötfahne erleichtert einerseits das Einführen in das dafür vorgesehene Loch der Leiterplatte und bewirkt andererseits die für eine gute Lötverbindung erforderliche Vorfixierung.On the underside, the contact element is provided with at least one preferably tapering pin-like extension, which is inserted into holes provided in the printed circuit board and fastened there by means of a soldered connection to the conductor tracks present here. The downward tapering design of the soldering lug facilitates insertion into the hole in the printed circuit board provided for this purpose and on the other hand brings about the pre-fixation required for a good soldered connection.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von zwei Figuren näher erläutert:

  • Figur 1 zeigt ein Kontaktelement entsprechend der Erfindung
  • Figur 2 zeigt ein montiertes Kontaktelement
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to two figures:
  • Figure 1 shows a contact element according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a mounted contact element

Das Kontaktelement 1 der Figur 1 besteht aus einem Hartmessingblech mit 0,5 mm Dicke. An der Unterseite sind zwei Lötfahnen 2 und 3 vorgesehen, die sich nach unten hin verjüngen. Ihre größte Breite beträgt etwa 1 mm und ist an den Lochdurchmesser von Leiterplatten angepaßt. An der Oberkante 4 weist das Kontaktelement 1 einen keilförmigen Einschnitt 5 auf, der in einer ersten Bohrung 6 endet. Unterhalb der Bohrung 6 ist der Einschnitt als schlitzförmiger Einschnitt 7 fortgeführt, der wiederum in einer zweiten Bohrung 8 mündet. Die Größe der Bohrungen 6 und 8 ist an den zu kontaktierenden Durchmesser der Stromzuführung 12 (Figur 2) derart angepaßt, daß eine kraftschlüssige und elektrisch-leitende Klemmverbindung entsteht.The contact element 1 of Figure 1 consists of a hard brass sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm. On the underside, two solder tags 2 and 3 are provided, which taper downwards. Their greatest width is about 1 mm and is adapted to the hole diameter of printed circuit boards. On the upper edge 4, the contact element 1 has a wedge-shaped incision 5, which ends in a first bore 6. Below the bore 6, the incision is continued as a slot-shaped incision 7, which in turn opens into a second bore 8. The size of the bores 6 and 8 is adapted to the diameter of the power supply 12 to be contacted (FIG. 2) in such a way that a non-positive and electrically conductive clamping connection is produced.

In Figur 2 ist das Kontaktelement 1 mittels Lot 9 mit der auf einer Leiterplatte 10 aufgebrachten Leiterbahn 11 elektrisch-leitend befestigt. In der zweiten Bohrung 8 (Figur 1) ist eine Stromzuführung 12 elektrisch-leitend festgeklemmt. Das Einführen der Stromzuführung 12 durch den schlitzförmigen Einschnitt 7 bewirkt, daß das auf der Stromzuführung 12 haftende Oxid abgeschabt wird. Der gegenüber dem Durchmesser der Stromzuführung 12 verkleinert ausgeführte Durchmesser der Bohrung 8 bewirkt ein sicheres, strammes Festklemmen, so daß auch eine Isolierung der Stromzuführung 12 gegen benachbarte stromführende Teile entfallen kann.In Figure 2, the contact element 1 by means of solder 9 the conductor track 11 applied to a printed circuit board 10 is attached in an electrically conductive manner. In the second bore 8 (Figure 1), a power supply 12 is clamped in an electrically conductive manner. The introduction of the power supply 12 through the slot-shaped incision 7 causes the oxide adhering to the power supply 12 to be scraped off. The reduced diameter of the bore 8 compared to the diameter of the power supply leads to a secure, tight clamping, so that there is also no need to isolate the power supply 12 from adjacent live parts.

Wie bei Niederdruckentladungslampen mit einem Entladungsgefäß üblich, sind vier Stromzuführungen 12 vorhanden, wobei jeder Stromzuführung 12 ein eigenes Kontaktelement 1 auf der Leiterplatte 10 zugeordnet ist.As is customary in the case of low-pressure discharge lamps with a discharge vessel, there are four power supply lines 12, each power supply line 12 being assigned its own contact element 1 on the printed circuit board 10.
