Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a female electrical contact member.
  • the invention relates to a female electrical contact member comprising, at one end, means for its attachment to a conductor and, at the other end, a conduit intended to receive a male tab, in the conduit being formed a strip elastic to pinch the male tab.
  • Patents EP-A-0 147 076 and US-A-4 699 444 show such an embodiment.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.
  • the member according to the invention is of the type made from a strip of material which is good conductor of electricity and endowed with a certain elasticity, cut and folded to present, at one end, tabs for crimping d '' an electrical conductor and, at the other end, a rectangular section duct having a floor wall, two side walls and a ceiling wall, the floor wall being extended and folded towards the inside of the duct to form a strip elastic so that a male tongue, inserted into the duct, is pinched between said bar and the ceiling wall, the floor wall comprising, cut out, a bar which is folded to extend under the elastic bar and cooperate with this last, said member being characterized in that the bar is cut on the side of the legs and is folded to extend in the direction of the end of the conduit intended to receive the tongue.
  • the side walls comprising punctures which form, towards the inside, stops limiting the movement of the elastic bar, the bar having a width less than the interval separating the punctures.
  • the bar being folded in a hairpin, its elastic action is reinforced and as the punctures limit the movement of the bar, it is avoided that it can be forced and, consequently, a collapse of the bar is avoided. bar.
  • the elastic bar is provided with lateral wings intended to bear against punctures.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a female electrical contact member according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along line 3-3 of Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of Figure 2.
  • the member shown in the figures is produced from a metal strip which is a good conductor of electricity, suitably cut and folded to present a body 1 with, at one end, a conduit 2 and, at the other end, legs 3 for crimping an electrical conductor housed in an insulating sheath and lugs 4 for crimping a stripped end of said conductor.
  • the duct 2 is formed by a floor wall 6, two side walls 7 and 8 and a ceiling wall 9 formed by the free ends 10 and 11 of the side walls 7 and 8 respectively which are folded to extend one in facing each other, said free ends being stamped to form an internal projection 14 in the duct 2.
  • the floor wall 6 is extended on the side opposite to the crimp tabs 3 and 4, the extension being folded back inside the conduit 2 to form an elastic electrical contact strip 16 having, near its free end and turned to the side projection 14, a bump 17.
  • the bar 16 is provided, laterally, with wings 18 and 19 while in the wall 7 is formed a puncture 20 at the level of the wing 18 and, at the level of the wing 19, in the side wall 8, a puncture 21.
  • the punctures 20 and 21 are formed at a level such that they oppose the engagement in the conduit 2 of a male tongue whose thickness exceeds a determined threshold.
  • a bar 24 which is folded to extend towards the free end of the conduit 2 in order to cooperate with the bar 16 and to reinforce the elastic action of the latter.
  • the bar 24 has a width less than the distance separating the punctures 20 and 21 so that it can play freely between them.
  • the reference 25 designates a male tab.
  • the punctures 20, 21 constitute stops which limit the clearance of the bar 16 and prevent the insertion of male tongues having a thickness greater than that admitted.
