Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector with a housing made of insulating material with contact chambers in which contact elements with a connection area and a contact area are arranged in a row and at least one contact spring is provided in a row parallel thereto, each contact spring connecting two contact elements as a short-circuit bridge , and with a plug body made of insulating material, which is designed with a row of contact pins or knives intended to be inserted into the contact elements and in a row parallel thereto for each short-circuit bridge with an interrupter element made of insulating material which is used for the coupling from the housing and plug body, a contact spring lifts off the interconnected contact elements.
- Such a connector is known from DE-GM 90 10 565.
- contact members are provided in the second row of contact chambers, which are each formed with at least one bent spring leg and each with at least one spring leg protruding into the second contact chamber row
- First contact chamber row arranged contact elements interact.
- the normally closed contact is separated in that an insulating pin of the plug body pushes apart the spring legs of the contact elements and the contact elements in opposite directions at the adjacent, bent contact points when coupling the housing and plug body.
- the invention is based, with a plug connector of the type mentioned to improve the spring action of the short-circuit bridge.
- the short-circuit bridge consists of a contact spring with a spring base mounted on the inside of an outer wall of the housing and at least one freely resilient contact leg, connected at one end to the spring base via a cross-sectionally U-shaped bend is, b) that the contact leg is provided with a shape directed towards the contact elements as a contact point and c) that the shape is in direct contact with a transition area designed as a contact area between the connection area and the contact area of two contact elements.
- the spring work is carried out exclusively by the short-circuit bridge.
- the two-leg design of the short-circuit bridge in cooperation with the connection of the two spring legs via a U-shaped bend results in an extension of the spring legs, which leads to a significant increase in the permissible spring travel. Since the position of the contact point on the contact leg can be optimally selected and the short-circuit bridge is actuated by the interrupter element of the plug body at the free end of the contact leg, a low actuating force is achieved with a high effective contact force. The result of such a connector is an improved spring action and an improved tolerance compensation.
- the design of the short-circuit bridge according to the invention also allows direct contacting at the transition area of the contact elements between the connection and contact area.
- the contact is thus made at the most favorable point in an area with a low contact resistance.
- direct contacting of this type makes it possible for short-circuit contacting to use the contact elements already provided for normal use in connectors in a geometrically identical form, ie the usual contact elements can continue to be used unchanged for short-circuit contacting.
- the rear side of the transition area facing the shape of the contact leg expediently runs e.g. embossed flush with the back of the contact area of a contact element. This is particularly advantageous if the contact element is inserted into the housing of the connector after the short-circuit bridge and its rear side slides over the shape of the contact leg of the short-circuit bridge.
- the contact leg of the contact spring is approximately twice as long as the spring base. It is particularly advantageous if the shape of the contact leg is arranged about a third of the total length of the contact leg from its free end.
- the contact leg of the contact spring is offset somewhat towards the spring base by an offset at the transition to the U-shaped bend.
- An offset on the contact leg increases the distance between the contact leg and the connection region of the contact element opposite it and gives greater security against electrical bridging.
- the contact leg is preferably provided in its center with a longitudinal slot extending in the longitudinal direction of the leg and extending from the free end of the contact leg.
- a longitudinal slot extending in the longitudinal direction of the leg and extending from the free end of the contact leg.
- the contact spring is arranged together with two contact elements as short-circuit unit in a common contact chamber of the housing.
- the outer wall of the housing is formed with two lateral guide grooves for the spring base and the contact chamber with a centrally arranged support rib to fix the position of the contact spring.
- FIG. 1 shows a connector in section through a contact chamber
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the connection and fitting side of a connector without contacts
- FIG. 3 shows a connector in a representation corresponding to FIG. 1 in the coupled state Status
- the connector consists of a housing 1 made of insulating material, which has a plurality of contact chambers 2 for contact elements 3 and contact springs 4 lying next to one another, two contact elements 3 and a contact spring 4 being arranged in a contact chamber 2, the two contact elements acting as a short-circuit bridge connects with each other.
- a housing 1 made of insulating material, which has a plurality of contact chambers 2 for contact elements 3 and contact springs 4 lying next to one another, two contact elements 3 and a contact spring 4 being arranged in a contact chamber 2, the two contact elements acting as a short-circuit bridge connects with each other.
- the contact elements 3 are arranged in a first row within the contact chambers and consist of contact elements customary in such connectors with a connection area 5, a contact area 6 and a transition area 7 between the connection and contact area.
- the contact springs 4 for the short-circuit bridges are arranged in a row parallel to the first row and are formed and arranged in a manner described in more detail later.
- the connector - as shown in FIG. 3 - Another connector body made of insulating material 30, which is designed with a series of contact pins or knives 31 intended for insertion into the contact elements 3 and in a parallel row for each short-circuit bridge 4 with an interrupter element 32 made of insulating material, which is used for the coupling of Housing and plug body lifts a contact spring 4 from the interconnected contact elements 3.
- the housing 1 is still surrounded by an outer housing 33 made of insulating material.
- the short-circuit bridges each consist of a two-leg contact spring 4 with a spring base 8 and at least one contact leg 9, which is connected at one end to the spring base via a cross-sectionally U-shaped bend 10.
- the spring base 8 is mounted on the inside of an outer wall 11 of the housing 1.
- the contact leg 9 can spring freely and is provided with a configuration 12 directed towards the contact elements 3 as a contact point, which is U-shaped or V-shaped in cross section and is in direct contact with the transition region 7 of the contact elements 3.
- this transition area is designed in a suitable manner as a contact point, the rear side of the transition area facing the shape 12 of the contact leg 9, for example by embossing, being flush with the rear side of the contact area 6 of a contact element 3.
- the configuration 12 is arranged about a third of the total length of the contact leg from its free end 13, the contact leg 9 being approximately twice as long as the spring base 8.
- the contact leg 9 which is angled at an angle at its free end 13 for the interrupter element 32 is through a crank 14 at the transition to the U-shaped bend 10 to be displaced somewhat in the direction of the spring base 8 and here in its center, that is to say in a symmetrical arrangement, with a leg length extending from the free end 13 Longitudinal slot 15 provided two parallel, two
- contact elements 3 contact legs 9a, 9b (Fig. 5, 6) and extends beyond the U-shaped bend 10 to the spring base 8.
- the surface between the contact legs 9a, 9b at the end of the slot serves as a pressure surface 16 for pressing the spring base into two lateral guide grooves 17, 18 on the inside of the outer wall 11 of the housing 1 up to a stop 19 which is centered in one Contact chamber 2 arranged double T-shaped support rib 20 is formed.
- an additional locking spring 21 made of spring steel is placed on the spring base and engages with an extended spring tab 22 in an opening 23 in the outer wall 11 of the housing 1.
