Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insulation displacement clamp made of flat material with at least two clamping legs, between which a shear cut forms a clamping slot extending essentially in the longitudinal direction of the insulation displacement clamp, into which an insulated switching wire can be pressed in a contacting manner and which narrows at its free end Retaining the jumper wire in the clamping slot.
  • Such an insulation piercing clamp is e.g. made known by DE-C-27 08 841. Thereafter, a rounded small projection is formed on one of the clamping legs by material displacement, which protrudes into the clamping slot in the vicinity of the free end. This projection makes it difficult to pull out the jumper wire, which is otherwise only held by friction. The projection prevents, in particular, an automatic loosening of the jumper wire e.g. when vibrations occur.
  • Such insulation displacement clamps are e.g. required for terminal strips.
  • the thin material-displacing stamp is subject to heavy wear, which requires frequent changes with subsequent readjustment of the depth of deformation. Stamps made of harder material are correspondingly more brittle and more prone to breakage.
  • the invention has for its object to simplify the manufacture of the insulation piercing and to increase its retention force.
  • the course of the clamping slot with the oblique section is formed in the punching tool as a cutting contour that is easy to manufacture and that allows a large amount of time between regrinding.
  • the material displacement associated with high wear is eliminated.
  • the longitudinal displacement of the two legs against one another can be generated in different ways depending on the type of clamp.
  • In the oblique section of the clamping slot there is an expansion in which the jumper wire is securely held in the manner of a positive fit.
  • the outer slope of the recess moves inward relative to the projection, so that it is at least partially opposite the inner slope of the projection.
  • the clamping slit is narrowed in this area with a double inclination and as a result automatic slippage reliably prevented by vibrations, for example.
  • Unintentional effects for example when working on adjacent insulation displacement terminals, require a noticeable amount of force to loosen the jumper wire, which cannot therefore go unnoticed.
  • the bead-like deflection according to claim 6 can be formed with little effort. In the case of spatial limitations with respect to the expansion perpendicular to the material plane, however, stretching one of the clamping legs is preferable, as a result of which the slenderness of the insulation piercing is retained.
  • the shortening of the leg can be combined with an offset of the legs in the direction of the jumper wire. This results in improved contact properties, which are caused by increased edge effects on the cut surfaces.
  • the clamping legs are precisely guided in the insulating material carrier, so that defined conditions in the geometry of the insulation displacement clamp are ensured. In particular, this prevents the clamping limbs from spreading too far apart perpendicularly to the material plane, which would endanger the interaction between the projection and the depression.
  • two jumper wires can be connected independently of one another to the insulation displacement terminal, only a single bend being required.
  • a flat insulation displacement clamp 1 has two clamping limbs 2, which are separated from one another by an average shear cut, the cutting line resulting in a clamping slot 3 which has a jagged shape.
  • a zakken-like projection 4 is formed on one of the clamping legs 2, which is opposed by a corresponding recess 5 in the other clamping leg.
  • the jagged course is achieved in a simple manner by appropriate design of a cutting punch and a cutting plate.
  • the clamping leg 2 of the insulation displacement clamp 1, which has the jagged projection 4 is provided with an embossment 18 in its foot part and is thereby extended approximately by the height of the jagged projection 4, which is bevelled at an obtuse angle.
  • the two clamping legs move against each other and are slightly pushed apart. They lie closely together with the section adjoining the tip of the projection 4 to the outside. In the opposite direction, the clamping slot widens according to the sum of the angles of the two legs of the projection 4.
  • the offset between the two clamping legs 2 is achieved by a bead-like bend 7 in the foot of the clamping leg 2 having the recess 5.
  • An insulated switching wire 6 is pressed into the clamping slot 3 up to the recess 5 behind the tip of the projection 4. From the jumper wire 6, the clamping slot 3 tapers outwards, so that when pulling forces occur according to the arrows A, forces occur on the jumper wire 6 due to the spring force of the clamping legs and have an axial component. This counteracts the pull-out force and increases it in addition to the existing frictional forces. So that the jumper wire 6 is held securely in the clamping slot.
  • another insulation displacement connector 8 is inserted into a receiving chamber 9 of an insulating body 10.
  • the insulation displacement terminal 8 has a middle clamping leg 11 and two outer clamping legs 12, between which two clamping slots 3 are formed for pressing in and connecting two jumper wires 6.
  • the middle clamping leg 11 is bent at its foot end 13 in a double bend out of the material plane by approximately the thickness of the insulation displacement material.
  • the receiving chamber 9 has a corresponding bulge 14 in which the middle clamping leg 11 is fixed laterally.
  • the two outer clamping legs 12 are decoupled with regard to their spring action. This is independent of whether a jumper wire or two jumper wires are connected.
  • the outer clamping legs 12 are guided in the receiving chamber 9 so that they can only be spread apart in the material plane.
  • holding slots 15 for the jumper wires 6 are also formed on both sides of the receiving chambers 9. These holding slots 15 have rib-like clamping webs 16 which press into the insulation of the jumper wire 6 and also increase the pull-out force by additional frictional forces.
  • FIG. 4 shows the left clamping leg 12 with the switching wire 6 immediately before (dash-dotted) and after being pressed into the clamping slot 3.
  • the right half of the picture shows the insulation piercing without switching wire. It can be seen that the middle clamping leg 11 is shortened by the double bend at the foot end 13 relative to the outer clamping leg 12.
  • the zakken-like projection 4 is located on the outer clamping leg 12 and the corresponding recess 5 on the middle clamping leg 11.
  • the recess 5 is thus offset from the projection 4 towards the foot end 13. Since the clamping legs 11, 12, which are separated from one another by scissors, run in different planes, they are not pressed apart when the middle clamping leg 11 is bent out, as is e.g. is shown in Figure 2a. The length offset results in a partial overlap in the area of the point.
  • the core of the pressed-in jumper wire 6 is pushed over the tip of the projection 4 on the outer clamping leg 12 and locked in the recess 5 of the middle clamping leg 11.
  • the core of the switching wire 6 lies on the inner leg of the projection 4 and on the outer leg of the recess 5. If you now try to pull out the jumper wire 6, the clamping force K of the insulation displacement connector becomes effective at this point.
  • the tapering bevels result in axial force components P which counteract the pull-out force and which add up to a total counterforce 2P. This can be so large that the jumper wire could only be pulled out of the clamping slot 3 with considerable effort. It is therefore particularly secured against accidental loosening.
