Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen elektrischen Kontakt zum Anschluß von wenigstens zwei Leitern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an electrical Contact for the connection of at least two conductors the preamble of claim 1.
Ein solcher Kontakt ist aus GB-A-1 243 938 bekannt.Such a contact is known from GB-A-1 243 938.
Zum Anschluß elektrischer Leiter an Geräte, Bauelemente od. dgl. sind neben Kontakten für Löt- und Schraubanschlüsse der Leiter vornehmlich solche in Gebrauch, bei denen abisolierte Enden der Leiter in einem Klemmbereich elektrisch und mechanisch angeschlossen werden (sog. 'schraubenlose Anschlußklemmen') oder isolierte Leiter zwischen Schneiden eingepreßt werden, die deren Isolationsumhüllung durchdringen und auf diese Weise den elektrischen Kontakt herstellen (sog. 'Schneidklemmkontakte').For connecting electrical conductors to devices, components od. Like. Are in addition to contacts for soldering and Screw connections of the conductors primarily those in use, where the stripped ends of the conductors are in one Clamping area electrically and mechanically connected are (so-called 'screwless terminals') or insulated Conductor to be pressed between cutting edges penetrate their insulation sheath and on this Establish electrical contact (so-called 'Insulation displacement contacts').
Es sind darüber hinaus auch Kontakte bekannt, die zwei Leiteranschlußbereiche aufweisen, deren einer entsprechend der Schneidklemmtechnik ausgelegt ist, während der andere als schraubenlose Anschlußklemme ausgebildet ist. Beispiele hierfür sind zu finden in DE 27 20 418 C2, DE 27 43 242, und US 4,212,509. Diese bekannten Kontakte dienen der Verbindung zweier Leiter miteinander und stellen im Prinzip Steckverbinder dar, wobei der in Schneidklemmtechnik ausgelegte Leiteranschlußbereich vornehmlich der maschinellen Bestückung mit Leitern dient, während Leiter mit abisolierten Leiterenden ggf. auch manuell an die Kontakte angeschlossen werden können. Deshalb ist den bekannten Bauelementen auch das Prinzip gemeinsam, daß die Schneidklemmanschlüsse bei der Konfektionierung des Verbinders dadurch vorgenommen werden, daß die Kontakte in ein Isolierstoffgehäuse eingesetzt werden und dabei, d.h. mit ihrer Einsatzbewegung, die Schneidklemmverbindung mit den Leitern herstellen. Nach der Fertigstellung des betreffenden Verbinders ist deshalb ein Leiteranschluß mittels Schneidklemmtechnik nicht mehr möglich.There are also known contacts that have two conductor connection areas, one correspondingly the insulation displacement technology is designed while the other is designed as a screwless terminal is. Examples of this can be found in DE 27 20 418 C2, DE 27 43 242, and US 4,212,509. This Known contacts are used to connect two conductors with each other and basically represent connectors, the conductor connection area designed using insulation displacement technology mainly the machine assembly serves with conductors, while conductors with stripped conductor ends if necessary also connected manually to the contacts can be. That is why the well-known components also the principle in common that the insulation displacement connections when assembling the connector be made that the contacts in an insulating housing be used and thereby, i.e. With their insert movement, the insulation displacement connection with the ladders. After the completion of the concerned The connector is therefore a conductor connection no longer possible using insulation displacement technology.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Kontakt der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 als für Drahtverbinder bekannt vorausgesetzten Art in geschickter Weise für eine besondere Eignung als Anschlußklemmen-Kontakt für elektrische Geräte weiterzubilden.The invention has for its object a electrical contact in the preamble of claim 1 as a known type for wire connectors in cleverly for a special suitability as a terminal contact training for electrical devices.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe entsprechend der Erfindung ist im Anspruch 1 angegeben. Die mit der Erfindung einhergehende neuartige Kontaktverwendung ist Gegenstand des nebengeordneten Anspruchs 8.This object is achieved according to the invention is specified in claim 1. The one with the invention associated new use of contacts is the subject of the independent claim 8.
Die Erfindung schafft damit einen Anschlußklemmen-Kontakt für elektrische Geräte, z.B. Lampen- und Starterfassungen, Vorschaltgeräte, Verteilerklemmen od. dgl., der den alternativen oder kumulativen Anschluß von Leitern in den beiden unterschiedlichen Anschlußtechniken erlaubt.The invention thus creates a terminal contact for electrical devices, e.g. Lamp and starter sockets, Ballasts, distribution terminals or Like., the alternative or cumulative connection of conductors in the two different connection technologies allowed.
Damit ist es möglich, Geräte zur Verfügung zu stellen, deren Leiteranschlußart bis zuletzt der freien Wahl des Anwenders überlassen bleibt. Ohne daß dies bereits bei der Bestellung zu berücksichtigen ist, kann etwa der Leuchtenhersteller die Geräte auf automatischen Einrichtungen in Schneidklemmtechnik mit Anschlußleitern bestücken oder, falls seine Betriebseinrichtungen dazu nicht geeignet sind, die Leiter von Hand oder mit Manipulatoren den schraubenlosen Anschlußklemmbereichen zuführen. Der die Kontakte entsprechend der Erfindung verwendende Gerätehersteller wiederum braucht nicht von vornherein eine bestimmte Anschlußtechnik zu berücksichtigen und keine unterschiedlichen Geräte vorzuhalten, da ein Gerät mit erfindungsgemäßen Kontakten beide Anschlußmöglichkeiten bereithält.This makes it possible to have devices available places, the type of conductor connection up to the last of the free The choice of the user is left. Without this already can be taken into account when ordering for example, the luminaire manufacturer uses automatic devices Devices in insulation displacement technology with connection conductors equip or, if its facilities are not suitable for this Manually or with manipulators the screwless terminal areas respectively. The contacts accordingly device manufacturers using the invention again, there is no need for a specific one from the start Connection technology to consider and no different Devices available, since a device with the invention Contact both connection options has ready.
Darüber hinaus bietet die Erfindung einen gravierenden Vorteil gegenüber lediglich nach der Schneidklemmtechnik ausgeführten Leiteranschlüssen, der darin besteht, daß zusätzlich zu diesen oder auch alternativ Verdrahtungen mittels Klemmtechnik vorgenommen werden können. Der Anwender, der in aller Regel nicht über Fähigkeiten oder Einrichtungen verfügt, eine Schneidklemmverbindung im Schadensfall unter Beachtung der Sicherheitsvorschriften reparieren zu können (sofern der Schneidklemmbereich am fertigen Gerät überhaupt noch zugänglich ist), kann nunmehr den mangel- oder schadhaften Leiter nach Abisolieren seines freien Endes zum problemlosen Anschluß an die sekundär verfügbare schraubenlose Anschlußklemme herrichten und entsprechend verwenden, und zwar in unmittelbarer Nähe und Zuordnung zu dem zu ersetzenden Anschluß. In anderen Fällen kann der Anschlußbereich der schraubenlosen Klemmtechnik etwa auch dazu genutzt werden, weitere Anschlüsse oder Abgriffe mittels zusätzlicher Leiter vorzunehmen. In addition, the invention offers a serious one Advantage over only the insulation displacement technology executed conductor connections, the inside exists that in addition to these or alternatively Wiring can be carried out using clamping technology can. The user who usually doesn't have skills or facilities, an insulation displacement connection in the event of damage, observing the safety regulations repair (if the IDC area on the finished device at all is accessible), can now be the defective or defective Conductor after stripping its free end to easy connection to the secondary available Prepare screwless connection clamp and accordingly use, in the immediate vicinity and assignment to the connection to be replaced. In other cases can the connection area of the screwless clamping technology about also be used for other connections or taps using additional conductors.

des Kontakts in einer Anschlußklemme, einer Lampenfassung

Bauteil wie Lampe, Starter, Drossel, Kondensator od.
dgl. sein. So könnte man sich anstelle der freien Kante

Jeder Kontakt weist mindestens einen Bereich auf,
den sog. 'ersten Leiteranschlußbereich', in dem ein
Leiter 18 mittels an sich bekannter Schneidklemmtechnik
an den Kontakt anschließbar ist. Hierzu sind im Abschnitt
11, dem Schneidklemmabschnitt, bzw. sowohl in
diesem als auch zusätzlich im umgebogenen Abschnitt 13,
einem Federabschnitt des Kontaktes, der dann einen weiteren,
parallelen Schneidklemmabschnitt bildet, zur Umbiegung

Jeder Klemmschenkel 14 bildet zusammen mit dem Basisabschnitt
10, gegen der er vorgespannt und auf den
er hinweisend ausgerichtet ist, eine Klemmhalterung zum
mechanischen und elektrischen Anschluß des abisolierten
Endes 15 eines Leiters 16 aus. Zum Einführen des abisolierten
Leiterendes 15 ist im Übergangsbereich zwischen
den Kontaktschenkeln 10 und 11 eine Leiterdurchstecköffnung
17 vorgesehen. Insoweit stellt der Kontakt also
in diesem sog. 'zweiten Leiteranschlußbereich' eine an
sich bekannte schraubenlose Anschlußklemme dar.Each
Sind, wie beispielsweise bei den Ausführungsbeispielen
entsprechend den Fig. 2 und 12, die Einschnitte
19 in den beiden Kontaktschenkeln 11 und 13 mit nur
sehr schmalem Spaltabstand vorgesehen, werden die Isolierungen
der entsprechenden Leiter 18 innerhalb beider
Schenkel 11 und 13 jeweils eingeschnitten, wodurch ein
besonders sicherer Kontakt wie auch mechanischer Halt
zustandekommt. Da jedoch der Leiter 16 auf diese Weise
hintereinander in den beiden Schenkeln 11 und 13 festgeklemmt
ist, eignet sich ein solcher Kontakt bei Leiterbestückung
mittels dieser Art Doppel-Schneidklemmtechnik
nicht so sehr auch dazu, einen weiteren Leiter

dem freien Klemmschenkel 14 und dem Basisabschnitt

13 so weit sind, daß der Federschenkel 13 relativ zu
dem im Schneidklemmspalt 19 eingeklemmt gehaltenen Leiter
noch federn kann, so daß bei diesen Ausführungen
beide Anschlußtechniken gleichzeitig ausgeführt werden

bis 20 die Klemmzonen 14, 10 und die Schneidklemmzonen
19 jeweils lotrecht übereinander angeordnet sind, besteht
bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 21 bis 26
die Besonderheit, daß die Zone der Schneidklemmung
seitlich versetzt, hier konkret mittig zwischen den Federabschnitten
13 zweiter Klemmbereiche angeordnet
sind. Auf diese Weise ist die freie Federungsmöglichkeit
der Kontaktschenkel 13 auch dann gegeben, wenn
zwischen ihnen ein Leiter 18 mittels Schneidklemmtechnik
an den Kontakt angeschlossen ist. In jedem Falle
aber sind die Leiter 16, 18 zueinander parallel und

Gerät von derselben Seite her zulaufen.While in the embodiments according to FIG. 1

Allen Ausführungen ist gemeinsam, daß jeder Kontakt insgesamt nur aus einem einzigen Metallstreifen (in der Regel aus Federbronze) geformt ist, wodurch er sich von zwei- oder mehrteiligen zusammengesetzten Kontakten ansonsten bekannter Bauart weiterhin unterscheidet.All versions have in common that every contact altogether only from a single metal strip (usually made of feather bronze), which makes it yourself from two-part or multi-part composite contacts otherwise known design continues to differ.
