Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a connector for electric connections.
- Particular connectors are usually used in electrical connections and wirings; these connectors are obtained from a laminar element wherein the electric contact elements are capable of adequately punching through the insulating sheath, if any, of the conductor and of entering it to provide contact.
- One kind of these connectors comprises a laminar body made of a conducting metallic material with at least two oppositely arranged substantially rigid wings which form, between them, a slot in which two elastic electrical contact tabs converge towards the bottom; each tab blends with one of the wings, forming an elbow.
- A conductor can be inserted and locked between said elastic tabs, forming an electric contact.
- Some regions of the borders of the tabs are sharp, so that during the insertion of the conductor between them the insulating sheath thereof is cut and so that said tabs can penetrate in the conductor and provide contact with the conducting part.
- The laminar element from which the connector is obtained is blanked by means of punches which must of course have a certain thickness in order to provide an effective cutting action.
- For this reason, the two tabs are mutually spaced during initial blanking and are then moved mutually closer so as to move into mutual contact their ends which must accommodate the conductor, giving them an elastic pre-loading.
- This is currently achieved by providing a notch for each tab in the region where said tabs blend with the outer wings and by then forming a raised portion which overlaps the notch.
- However, the notches have the important drawback that they weaken the structure exactly in a region where the stresses induced by the presence of the conductor once installed tend to discharge.
- While this on one hand makes it impossible for the conductor to disengage from said tabs and enter the slot, on the other hand it hinders the movements to which the tabs are subjected both during the forming of the connector, particularly with the pre-loading by forming the notch and the raised portion, and during use, when they are moved mutually apart by the insertion of the conductor.
- A principal aim of the present invention is to provide a connector for electrical connections of the type described above which eliminates the drawbacks described above in the known art.
- A consequent primary object is to provide a connector that provides improved contact and electrical connection with respect to those currently commercially available.
- Another important object is to provide a connector which is suitable for electrical conductors having a wide range of diameters.
- Another important object is to provide a connector whose manufacture does not entail particular technical difficulties, with particular reference to the operations for blanking with punches.
- Another important object is to provide a connector that can be manufactured without particular difficulties with conventional equipment and facilities.
- Another important object is to provide a connector that can be manufactured with dies that are more reliable than current ones.
- This aim, these objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by a connector for electrical connections of the type which comprises a laminar body made of conducting material with at least two substantially rigid oppositely arranged wings which form a slot in which two elastic tabs converge towards the bottom, each tab blending with a corresponding one of said wings so as to form an elbow-shaped portion, an insulated electrical conductor being insertable between said elastic tabs up to their free ends, parts of the borders of said tabs being sharp, said connector being characterized in that said tabs are pre-loaded, so as to push towards each other, by raised portions, which are formed so as to affect the inner border of each one of said elbow-shaped blending portions, and by a deformation of said wings, which has the purpose of moving their ends mutually closer.
- Advantageously, the bottom of said slot in which said tabs extend has a portion which extends closer to the ends of said tabs and is formed, after blanking, by a raised portion which is formed on said body, forming a supporting border for said conductor when it is inserted between said tabs.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of an embodiment thereof, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector according to the invention;
- figure 2 is a front view of the connector of figure 1, with a conductor arranged between its contact elements;
- figure 3 is an enlarged-scale perspective detail view of a tab included in the connector;
- figures 4 to 10 schematically illustrate in sequence the steps of the process for manufacturing the connector.
- With reference to the above figures, a connector for electrical connections is generally designated by the
reference numeral 10 and comprises alaminar body 11 made of a conducting material, such as copper or copper alloy, with two oppositely arrangedwings 12; each wing is wide enough to be substantially rigid, and said wings form, between them, aslot 13 in which twoelastic tabs 15 converge towards thebottom 14; each tab blends, by means of an elbow-shaped portion 16, with acorresponding wing 12. - Said
tabs 15 touch each other at aflat tip region 17 thereof and together they delimit aspace 18 which tapers from the region of the elbow-shapedportions 16 towards the region of mutual contact. - Each border of the
tabs 15 that delimits thespace 18 has adouble blade 19 obtained by chamfering, by plastic deformation, the material at the edges. - An insulated electric conductor 20 (enamelled copper wire) can be inserted between the
elastic tabs 15 until it accommodates between theflat regions 17; its coating is conveniently subjected, in substantially opposite positions, to a double incision by thedouble blade 19, which makes thetabs 15 penetrate theinsulating layer 21 to reliably and broadly rest against thecore 22 with theflat regions 17 so as to provide electrical contact. - In the regions where the
blades 19 blend with theflat regions 17 and widen (figure 3) an axial sliding action also occurs, after the incision, moving theinsulating layer 21 in the same direction and consequently achieving better penetration therein. - Conveniently, said
tabs 15 are formed by blanking the metal plate from which theconnector 10 is obtained with a punch that forms said tabs so that they haveflat regions 17 at a certain distance from one another and so that their ends are spaced from thebottom 14 of theslot 13. - This occurs because of the need to produce punches having a certain thickness.
- In the final configuration, the two
elastic tabs 15 are pre-loaded so as to push towards each other by corresponding raisedportions 23, which are formed so as to affect the inner border of each elbow-shaped blending portion 16, and by a deformation ofsaid wings 12, as will become apparent hereinafter, which are moved so that their ends become mutually closer, assuming a parallel arrangement, from an initial state after blanking in which they diverge. - In order to move the
bottom 14 of theslot 13 towards the ends of thetabs 15 without preventing their elastic movements and without allowing aconductor 20 to disengage from contact by entering theslot 13, a raisedportion 24 is formed on thebody 11 so as to affect the border of theslot 13 in order to move a portion thereof towards thetabs 15. - The raised
portion 24 can be adjusted according to the type of material and/or its thickness without having to act on the blanking punches. - As regards the process for the mass-production of
connectors 10, shown in figures 4 to 9, in a first step (figure 4)holes 26 for stepwise advancement are punched by blanking on a continuously fedsheet metal strip 25. - In a second step (figure 5), blanking is performed by means of
punches 27 so as to form the border of saidelastic tabs 15 which forms thepart 18 for the insertion of theconductor 20. - Adequate space is left between the
flat regions 17 due to the need to form the punch with a certain thickness. - A further step (figure 6) forms the
double blades 19 on theelastic tabs 15 by compression, for example by means ofsuitable punches 28. - A subsequent step (figure 7) performs blanking, by means of a
punch 29, so as to form the border of saidslot 13 and the remaining parts of thetabs 15. - Then (figure 8) the raised
portions portions 23 provide a first pre-loading of thetabs 15, moving their ends mutually closer until theflat regions 17 meet. - Then (figure 9) punches 30 perform final blanking so as to complete the
body 11 with thewings 12 in divaricated position. - It should be noted that the
various bodies 11 formed in succession by means of thestrip 25 are mutually connected bydiaphragms 31 that can be appropriately cut for use. - The final step (figure 10) is the gauging of said
body 11 so as to move the divaricated ends of saidwings 12 mutually closer, in order to provide a second pre-loading of saidtabs 15, which are pushed towards the bottom of theslot 13. - In practice it has been observed that the intended aim and objects of the present invention have been achieved.
- The forming of the raised
portions 23 at the inner border of each elbow-shaped portion 16 in fact produces a first pre-loading of thetabs 15 without weakening the structure as hitherto required in known embodiments. - Pre-loading is conveniently completed by moving mutually closer the ends of the
wings 12 which are divaricated after the blanking operation. - The ends of the
tabs 15 can move freely and elastically without interference with thebottom 14 of theslot 13 from which the raisedportion 24 is formed; said raised portion cooperates with said tabs in retaining theconductor 20. - The border with a double blade and contact over a flat region furthermore help to improve both penetration in the
insulating layer 21 and actual electrical contact. - This solution allows greater reliability of the connection, once installed, with respect to the solution in which the tab has blades along its entire length.
- This is due to the fact that for an equal pressure applied to the contact region there is no danger of cutting the conductor (which is always possible in the case of tabs with a blade along their entire length), particularly if the component on which the connectors are mounted is subjected to vibrations during use.
- Furthermore, the final flat part of the tabs allows the connection of thinner enamelled wires without the risk of cutting them.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept.
- All the details may furthermore be replaced with other technically equivalent ones.
- In practice, the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
