Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to an electrical contact, more specifically to a contact for electrically connecting an electrical wire to a printed circuit board, according to the preamble of
claim 1. - In conventional technology to electrically connect an electrical wire to a printed circuit board, an electrical contact is used which is to be soldered after having a contact section inserted into a through-hole of such circuit board.
- Such type of electrical contact is made of a metal plate by a stamping and forming technique and comprises a holding section for holding the contact in a dielectric housing, an insertion or contact section to be inserted in a through-hole in a circuit board, and a wire-connection section as part of the holding section. An electrical contact of this type is disclosed in EP-A- 0 082 697.
- As mentioned above, such electrical contact is normally soldered when the contact section is inserted in a through-hole in a circuit board. It is inherent that soldering heat is conducted to the wire-connection section, thereby softening or melting the insulation covering the electrical wire connected to the wire-connection section of the electrical contact. This may result in reducing the force to hold the stranded conductors cf the electrical wire to such an extent that the conductors are unstably or improperly connected to the wire-connection section of the electrical contact. However, such conventional electrical contact has no effective means to overcome such problem.
- It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an electrical contact effectively solving the problem encountered in the conventional electrical contact.
- The above problem is solved by an electrical contact as defined in
claim 1. - The wire-connection section of such electrical contact may be made from a part of the bottom plate by a stamping and forming technique.
- In any mode, the wire-connection section is preferably designed to have a slot for an insulation-displacement connection of an electrical wire therein. The present contact is particularly useful for such contact.
- According to the present contact, the thermal-insulation holes are in communication with the projection-receiving holes to dissipate heat conduction to the wire-connection section.
- The electrical contact of the present invention as constructed above is soldered after inserting the contact section into a through-hole of a printed circuit board. The heat generated by the soldering operation is effectively dissipated when conducted through the contact section and the holding section to the wire-connection section by the thermal-insulation holes. Consequently, heat conduction to the electrical wire electrically connected in the insulation-displacement slot is effectively dissipated.
- It is known from FR-A- 1 426 290 to provide an electrical contact with a hole for reducing the thermal conductivity along the contact to prevent solder soldering the contact to a printed circuit board from unsoldering during soldering of an electric conductor to the electrical contact.
- The electrical contact according to the present invention is described in detail hereunder by way of example with reference to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the electrical contact.
- FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the electrical contact in FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the electrical contact in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the electrical contact in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the electrical contact along the line 5-5 in FIG. 2 to illustrate an electrical wire connected in the insulation-displacement slot along with the wire insulation being shown by phantom lines.
- FIG. 6 is a part side view of another embodiment of the electrical contact showing a thermal-dissipating hole.
- FIG. 7 is a top plan view of a dielectric housing in which the electrical contacts according to this invention are secured.
- FIG. 8 is an end view of FIG. 7.

The insertion orcontact section 3 is made of a pair of resilient strips orlegs 7 extending outwardly from the center portion of theside plates 6. The wire-connection section 4 is formed by upwardly bending apart 5a of thebottom plate 5 and is located betweenside plates 6. Theholding section 2 comprises projection-receivingholes 8 at substantially a center portion of theside plates 6 and thermal-insulation holes 9 are in communication with theholes 8.Engaging projections 10 are formed on both outer surfaces of theside plates 6 adjacent to the base portions of the strips orlegs 7 for engaging side surfaces of a housing cavity to hold the contact therein. A pair of wire-holding members 12 are bent inwardly fromside plates 6 acrossbottom plate 5 leaving agap 11 therebetween. Wire-pressing projections 13 extend inwardly inside plates 6 adjacent thebottom plate 5. - The insertion or
contact section 3 has staggeredstepped portions 14 at substantially center portions of the strips orlegs 7 and reenforcingprojections 15 extending from the base portions toward theouter ends 16 of thestrips 7. Also, anouter end 16 of onestrip 7 is hooked overouter end 16 of theother strip 7. The wire-connection section 4 has a wire-connection slot 17 inpart 5a at the center portion thereof andprojections 18 at both side edges that are disposed in the projection-receivingholes 8. - Shown in FIG. 6 is another embodiment of the thermal-
insulation holes 9. The thermal-insulation holes 9′ of the alternative embodiment extend in the longitudinal direction of thecontact 1 and are symmetrical, thereby enhancing the thermal-dissipating efficiency. - As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a plurality of
contacts 1 are secured incavities 21 in ahousing 20 made of any suitable insulation material such as plastic.

More in detail, thewire 30 is pressed into theslot 17 of the wire-connection section 4 by way of tapered sections 17a at the upper portion for insulation displacement connection. That is, the inner edges of theslot 17 of the wire-connection section 4 penetrate theinsulation 31 for electrically connecting thecore conductors 32 to theslot edges 17 and theinsulation 31 at a slight distance from the insulation displacement connected position of the electrical wire is held in thegap 11 between wire-holding members 12. Thecontact sections 3 of theelectrical contacts 1 electrically connected to respectiveelectrical wires 30 viasections 4 are inserted into through-holes (not shown) in a printedcircuit board 40 as shown in FIG. 7 by phantom lines. - According to the electrical contact of the present invention, thermal-insulation holes in the side plates forming the holding section and the wire-connection section exhibit good thermal-dissipation characteristics when the contact is soldered, thereby preventing the insulation of the electrical wire connected to the wire-connection section from softening or melting causing loss of connection force of the stranded wire conductors. Consequently, the unstable or improper electrical connection problem of the conventional electrical contact is effectively solved.
- This invention is particularly effective to simplify electrical connection is such an instance where the wire-connection section has an insulation-displacement connection slot for making electrical connection of an electrical wire in such slot.
- The thermal-dissipating efficiency to the connected wire is significant because the thermal-insulation holes are formed in a continuous manner with the projection-receiving holes in the side plates of the holding section which receive the projections of the wire-connection section.
