  • the clamp is completely symmetrical, both with respect to the first median longitudinal plane Y and with respect to the transverse median plane Z.
  • the jaws 25a (whose contact surfaces 26a can penetrate up to the conductor 1) have the effect that the longitudinal axis L always remains in the first longitudinal center plane Y and therefore a central penetration of the contacting element into the conductor 1 is always ensured.
  • the relative position of the components of the terminal is chosen so that for a conductor 1 with the minimum diameter for which the terminal is designed as the lower limit, the first and second notches 28a and 29a can only engage when at the second Stop 21a a adjacent contact pressure piece 16a, the distance between the contacting element and the edges is smaller by a predetermined value (for example by 1 mm) than the mentioned minimum diameter of the conductor 1, the contact surface 27a only slightly approaching the cover 5a and beyond the latching position Socket 4a allows.
  • the engagement of the catches 28a, 29a is therefore a reliable indication that the contacting element 17a has penetrated it to an extent necessary for the safe contacting of the conductor, and it is also ensured that the contacting element 17a cannot completely cut through the conductor 1.

  • the extension spring 15a is preferably dimensioned such that the force to be applied to lift the contact pressure piece 16a from the second stop 20a in the direction of the first stop 21a is sufficient for the contacting element (rib) 17a to cut through the insulating sleeve 2 and penetrate a possible oxide layer of the conductor 1 and can possibly penetrate into it by a small amount, but this force should not be sufficient to completely cut the conductor 1 through the contacting element.
  • the dimensioning and shaping of the tongues from which the counter-pressure piece 40a is formed ensures an elastic and / or plastic deformability to such an extent that even when the contact pressure piece 16a is in contact with the first stop 21a, the contacting element only with a predetermined maximum force can penetrate into the conductor 1 and thus the path of penetration of the contacting element is limited.
  • the dash-dotted lines in Fig. 4 refer to the possibility of extending the sheet metal sections 9'b, 10'b of the side parts 9b, 10b and forming two groups of lugs on them, so that in addition to inner first notches 28b (corresponding to FIGS. 1-3) there are additional outer first notches 28'b.

  • the tongues of the cover 5b forming the counter-pressure piece 40b have two sections parallel to the first longitudinal central axis Y, so that the deformability is less and the compressive forces which can be exerted on the conductor 1 are greater.
  • the tongues 13b, 14b formed on the base 4b and forming the repositioning spring 15b have short 90 ° bends 13'b, 14'b at their free ends. Their end surfaces can be brought into contact with the inner surface of the base part 6b, which forms the first stop 21b for the contact pressure piece 16b.

  • Such a design with two adjacent contacting elements is only intended for special applications, since it has been found that the particular advantages of the terminal according to the invention have been achieved with contacting elements whose tips or edges lie in the first longitudinal center plane Y.

  • These end parts form later explained pairs of jaws 25g with contact surfaces 26g which are held immovably on the clamp body 3g.
  • the contact surfaces 26g belonging to a pair of jaws run in the region of the contacting element 17g parallel to the first longitudinal center plane Y and in each case at the same distance therefrom. Their mutual distance is smaller than the predetermined minimum value of the diameter of the metallic conductor 1 to be contacted. Above the area of the contacting element 17g, i.e.
  • the parallel contact surfaces 26g merge into guide surfaces 26'g which expand continuously up to the side parts 9g, 10g over a plane which is laid through its cutting edge and is parallel to the second longitudinal center plane X.
  • the base part 6g continues into a connecting lug 16 'which establishes the electrical connection of the terminal with another terminal or a device to be connected.
  • the base part 6g continues in a tongue which has a slightly smaller width than the base part 6a.
  • a first section of this tongue has approximately the shape of a hairpin (one leg of which simultaneously forms the base part 6g) and represents a repositioning spring 15g which, with its part curved by approximately 180 °, follows one of the pair of jaws 25g facing away from the connecting lug 16 ' protrudes on the outside and re-enters the inside of the clamp with its approximately straight other leg through the gap between the pair of jaws and the base part 6g.
  • This further leg is followed by a further straight part, which is approximately in the transverse center plane Z and is approximately 90 ° and forms the contact pressure piece 16g of the clamp. This tapers at its free end to an edge located in the first longitudinal center plane Y, this tapering part forming the contacting element 17g of the contact pressure piece intended for penetration into the conductor 1.
  • Fig. 21 the contact pressure piece 16g and the spring 15g is illustrated with solid lines in the clamping position, while the dash-dotted line shows the position of these parts in the receiving position of the clamp.
  • This Fig. 21 shows that between the 90 ° bend connecting the contact pressure piece with the repositioning spring and the base part 6g a first stop 21g is formed which limits the path of the contact pressure piece relative to the rest of the terminal housing in the compression in the repositioning spring, and that a stop acting in the opposite direction there is a second stop 20g between the approximately straight part (leg) of the repositioning spring 15g and the one pair of jaws 25g.
  • the contacting element 17g begins to penetrate into the insulating sleeve 2 and then into the conductor 1, the force required for this penetration increasing progressively. If this force reaches a certain value, the second stop 20g (FIG. 21) is lifted and the extension spring 15g is increasingly compressed until finally the first stop 21g takes effect and prevents further movement of the contact pressure piece 16g with its contacting element 17g.
  • the force exerted on the line in the direction of arrow A is thus fully effective for the penetration of the contacting element 17g into the conductor 1 (apart from frictional forces on the guide surfaces 26g), so that the contacting element penetrates deeply into the conductor.
  • the tongue 10'g is first bent inwards by approximately 90 ° in the direction of arrow B 'using a specially designed crimping pliers, then tongue 9'g in the direction of arrow B ", the free end of which continues into the opening 50g
  • the two tabs of the tongue 10'g are simultaneously or subsequently bent inwards by approximately 45 °, the contact edges 39'g, 39 "g being able to penetrate to the conductor 1 while penetrating the insulating sleeve 2.
  • the aforementioned, bent-in components in their entirety, form a counter pressure piece 40g to the contact pressure piece and, together with the contact surfaces 26g, also form part of the centering and constricting device of the clamp.
  • FIGS. 20-23 The clamp in the clamped position is illustrated in FIGS. 20-23. If the conductor 1 shows the tendency to become detached from the contacting element 17g over time, although it is practically made impossible for it to evade by the counter pressure piece and the contact surfaces 26g, the adjustment spring adjusts the contact pressure piece with the contacting element 17g, thereby introducing Take off from the first stop 21g.
  • the line is centered on the first longitudinal center plane Y before the contacting element touches the line or before the contacting element has penetrated so far into the line that a subsequent position correction is no longer or only with great effort and / or with greater destruction of the conductor 1 can take place.
  • the aim of this centering is to provide an optimal position of the metallic conductor of the line in relation to the contacting element, so that the contacting element (with its tip, which is preferably located in the first longitudinal center plane) meets the circumference of the conductor in the center.
  • the line is also constricted, i.e. the line is compressed with several forces directed in the direction of the line longitudinal axis L.
  • the aim of this constriction is to make the centering more effective, even if, for example, the insulating sleeve has lower or non-uniform mechanical deformation resistance at higher temperatures and, if the line contains a multi-wire metallic conductor, the individual wires are better bundled so that they are connected with a Apply sufficient pressure to the contacting element for good contact.
  • the centering and constriction of the line is maintained until the contacting process is complete (the contacting element has assumed its intended positions within the conductor) and is also maintained as long as the clamp is in the clamping position.
  • the aim of this measure is to transfer the contacting element into the most advantageous (central) position within the conductor (also with the repositioning explained below).
  • the contact pressure piece After completing the contacting process and as long as the clamp is in the clamped position, the contact pressure piece is held under a spring preload in the direction of the counter pressure piece by means of a spring member specially provided for this purpose, spring travel being provided which is greater than the spring travel which is due to the elastic properties of all known materials, even in the case of components which are not specially shaped for their spring action, inevitably also results in known clamps to a small extent.
  • the aim of this measure is to maintain a low contact resistance between the contacting element and the conductor, even if the conductor or if a part of the insulating sleeve located between the conductor and the counter pressure piece deforms over time and / or tries to lift off from the contacting element, for example by Cold flow, heat, shocks to the terminal or external forces acting on the line.
  • a stop which limits the bending path of the extension spring and the stroke of the contact pressure piece and which is arranged and designed such that when it comes into effect the contacting element assumes a position in the terminal which corresponds to the intended final position of the contacting element in the conductor in the clamping position corresponds to the clamp.
  • the purpose of the stop is pursued, on the one hand, for the deep penetration of the contacting element To provide sufficient force on the contact pressure piece carrying it and, on the other hand, to provide a reliable indication by the activation of the stop that there is sufficient contact between the contacting element and the conductor.
