Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact socket for the connection of flat contact tongues, with a contact spring support which comprises two mutually substantially parallel supporting walls, on the preferably both inner sides of which a row of contact springs is arranged in such a way that one of the curvatures facing one another Introduction of a flat contact tongue is formed by making contact with an elastically widening gap, the ends of each contact spring on the outside of the associated support wall being bent toward one another and the distance between the two bending points of each contact spring being extended from one another in the stretched state by a size determining the size of the contact spring curvature is the distance between the edges of the supporting wall on which the bent ends of the contact springs rest.
  • a supporting wall delimiting the insertion gap for the flat contact tongue is provided on the edges of the supporting walls remote from the transverse wall.
  • This retaining wall could be fixed to the edges of the supporting walls by a welded or soldered connection.
  • a simpler connection is obtained if the supporting wall is provided with holding tabs which extend transversely away from it and are bent at a right angle, each of which abuts the outside of one of the supporting walls and ensures that the supporting wall is firmly held on the contact spring support with its ends bent towards one another.
  • the transverse wall is provided with a cutout in which the bent ends of the retaining tabs of the support wall engage.
  • each contact spring carrier is assigned at least one latching tongue which extends obliquely to the axis of the insertion gap for the flat contact tongue from the outside of the contact spring carrier and which, when the contact socket is inserted into an associated recess in an insulating body engages behind a lateral locking shoulder provided in the recess.
  • a latching tongue is formed in one piece with at least one of the two retaining tabs of the supporting wall.
  • connection protrusion can be provided with crimp tabs that permit the fixed connection of a cable.
  • the connecting projection is expediently designed in the form of an approximately round contact pin which enables the easily detachable connection of a cable connected to a contact spring socket.
  • the contact socket shown in the drawing is used to connect flat contact tongues, not shown, in particular flat contact tongues with the dimensions of 5.7 x 0.7 x 7.5 mm or 2.8 x 0.7 x 7.5 mm which are common in automobile construction. It comprises a contact spring carrier 1 with two mutually parallel supporting walls 2, 3, on the at least one, preferably both inside (s) of which a number of contact springs 4 curved in such a way is / are such that one of the bulges facing one another is introduced when a flat contact tongue is introduced is formed with contact elastically widening gap 5.
  • both ends 6, 7 of each contact spring 4 are bent toward one another on the outside of the associated support wall 2, 3.
  • the distance of the two bending points 8, 9 of each contact spring 4 from one another is chosen to be larger by a dimension determining the size of the contact spring curvature than the distance of the supporting wall edges 10, 11, on which the bent ends 6.7 of the contact springs lie.
  • the two supporting walls 2, 3 are connected to one another via a transverse wall 12 which determines the distance between the supporting walls.
  • a transverse wall 12 which determines the distance between the supporting walls.
  • At the edges 10, 11 of the transverse wall remote Support walls 2, 3 are provided with a support wall 14 delimiting the insertion gap 5 for the flat contact tongue.
  • the support wall 14 is provided with holding straps 15, 16 extending transversely from it and bent at a right angle. These are in each case on the outside of one of the supporting walls 2, 3. With their ends 17, 18 bent toward one another, they securely hold the support wall 14 firmly on the contact spring support 1.
  • the transverse wall 12 is provided with a cutout 19, in which the bent ends 17, 18 of the retaining tabs 15, 16 of the support wall 14 engage. These ends 17, 18 of the retaining tabs 15, 16 are bent through 180 ° and engage behind the supporting walls 2, 3, each adjacent to the cutout 19.
  • the end edges of the supporting walls 2, 3 starting from the end edge 20 of the transverse wall 12 are each provided with a recess 21, 22. These cutouts begin where the ends of the retaining tabs 15, 16 end.
  • These recesses each define that area of the supporting wall edges 10, 11 on which the bent ends 6, 7 of the contact springs 4 are supported.
  • each contact spring support 1 is provided with at least one, preferably two locking tongues 25, 26. These extend obliquely to the axis of the insertion gap 5 for the flat contact tongue from the outside of the contact spring carrier 1.
  • each latching tongue 25, 26 engages behind a lateral latching shoulder 27, 28 provided in the recess 23.
  • connection projection 29 serving for the power supply. This starts from the transverse wall 12 connecting the supporting walls 2, 3.
  • connection protrusion 29 is provided with crimping tabs 30 which enable a cable (not illustrated) to be firmly connected.
  • connection projection can also be designed in the form of an approximately round contact pin 31. This enables, as illustrated in Fig. 3, the easily detachable connection of a cable connected to a contact spring socket 32, which is also not shown.
  • the cable together with the contact spring socket 32 can be easily separated from the contact pin 31, in order to subsequently remove the contact socket, which has been worn through frequent use, from the recess 23 of the isoller body 24 and to replace it with a new contact socket.
