Definitions
- the invention is in the field of electrical components and is applicable to the material design of the outer surface of gas discharge surge arresters, which have at least one tubular ceramic insulator and electrodes arranged at the ends of the ceramic insulator and gas-tightly connected to the ceramic insulator, the outer surface of which is connected to a metallic coating is provided.
- Gas discharge surge arresters are used, among other things, to protect communication lines.
- Surge arresters are used, on whose electrodes connecting wires are soldered, welded or molded.
- Such surge arresters can have two electrodes facing one another and, if appropriate, a third, annular electrode arranged in the middle (DE-A1-28 28 650).
- the connecting wires connected to the electrodes like the electrodes, are usually silver-plated if they consist of copper. Sometimes it is also required to use tin-plated connecting wires. This facilitates the wetting of the connecting wires during the soldering process by means of wave soldering.
- bronze Cu-Sn alloy
- the electrodes are contacted under spring force.
- surge arresters with alloyed iron electrodes and, if necessary, to coat these electrodes with a nickel layer.
- the invention is based on the object of a surge arrester to create, which can be manufactured inexpensively and handled as an automatically processable bulk material without impairing the insulation strength and which can be easily soldered into printed circuits or printed circuit boards.
- the metallic coating consists of tinning and that a closed ring-shaped, insulating protective layer made of an acid and heat-resistant paint or varnish is applied to the outer lateral surface of each ceramic insulator whose width is at least 1 mm.
- the tinning forms an inexpensive metallic coating for the electrodes.
- Such tinning entails the risk that when the surge arrester is handled as bulk material, the tin coating is abraded on the rough outer surface of the ceramic insulators and thus the occurrence of insulation faults is promoted.
- Applying the protective layer from a paint or varnish application eliminates this danger.
- the protective layer forms a relatively smooth surface area on the outer surface of the ceramic insulator, on which no harmful tin abrasion is possible.
- the protective layer is in its width so that the minimum value of the insulation strength (eg 1010 Ohm) is maintained, even if there is a tin abrasion on the other surface areas of the ceramic insulator.
- the protective layer can optionally cover the entire outer surface of the ceramic insulator. In particular from a width of the protective layer of more than 3 to 4 mm, it is expedient in a further development of the invention to design this protective layer as part of a marking of the surge arrester.
- the protective layer can be designed as a negative print, i. H. the protective layer also forms the label.
- the protective layer can, however, also form a transparent, preferably colorless top layer for customary printing or a base for subsequent customary printing.
- the acid resistance of the protective layer enables the use of galvanic treatments of the surge arrester provided with the protective layer, which are required in the further course of the manufacture of the surge arrester.
- the heat resistance of the protective layer which is expediently at least 160 ° C., on the other hand ensures that the protective layer is not impaired, in particular when the component is subjected to alternating current (discoloration).
- Commercially available air-drying one-component lacquers are preferred as the acid- and heat-resistant lacquer for the protective layer.
- Printing inks are particularly suitable as acid and heat-resistant inks.
- a surge arrester designed according to the invention can also be provided with tin-plated connecting wires in order to be able to arrange it on printed circuit boards and to be able to solder it to conductor tracks.
- the use of tin-plated connecting wires ensures problem-free soldering in printed circuits or in printed circuit boards using wave soldering.
- connecting wires are not molded onto the electrodes, they can be tinned with the electrodes before they are connected, in particular soldered. The tinning of the connecting wires can also take place together with the tinning of the electrodes.
- the surge arrester 1 consists of the tubular ceramic insulator 2 with electrodes 3 and 4 arranged at its ends.
- the electrodes are soldered to the ceramic insulator 2 in a gas-tight manner.
- the connecting wires 5 and 6 made of copper are also welded to the electrodes, which are made of copper.
- a lacquer layer 7 has been applied to the outer surface of the ceramic insulator 2 using a conventional printing method. This lacquer layer covers the entire outer surface of the ceramic insulator and has a width of about 5 mm. A width of 1 mm would already be sufficient. With a width that is smaller than the outer distance between the two electrodes 3 and 4, the protective layer can be arranged in the center or off-center to the electrodes 3 and 4.
- connection wires 5 and 6 had been welded to the electrodes
- the surge arrester was subjected to a galvanic treatment, with which a tin layer 8 was deposited on the outer surface of the electrodes 3 and 4 and on the connection wires 5 and 6.
- FIG. 2 shows a gas discharge surge arrester 10 with three electrodes.
- the arrester consists of the two tubular ceramic insulators 11 and 12, which are connected coaxially to one another by means of the ring electrode 13.
- the electrodes 14 and 15 are arranged at the two other ends of the ceramic insulators 11 and 12.
- the connecting wires 16, 17 and 18 are welded to these electrodes and to the ring electrode 13. Electrodes and connecting wires are made of copper.
- the ceramic insulators 11 and 12 are each provided with a lacquer layer 19 after their gas-tight connection to the electrodes 14 and 15. After the connection wires were welded to the electrodes, the surge arrester was subjected to galvanic treatment, a tin layer 20 has been deposited on the electrodes and the connecting wires.
- the coating application 7 on the ceramic insulator 2 according to FIG. 1 and on one of the two ceramic insulators 19 according to FIG. 2 has also been applied as a negative print for the purposes of identification.
- a negative print is shown in detail in FIG. 3 and provided with the reference symbol 21.
- the ceramic insulator can also be provided with a normal positive marking and with a colorless or translucent varnish applied over it.
- FIG. 4 shows a surge arrester 30 with two electrodes 31 and 32 and with a ceramic insulator 33. There are no connecting wires.
- the electrodes 31 and 32 consist of copper and are provided with a tin layer 34.
- a protective layer 35 with a width of approximately 2 mm is applied to the ceramic insulator 33.
