Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holder, in particular for rod-shaped fluorescent tubes with a two-pin base or for two operating pins.
  • Sockets for fluorescent lamps or tubes which are provided with a 2-pin base according to IEC G5 or G13 (DIN 49653), consist of an electrical, insulating socket body in the form of a multi-part housing.
  • a guide slot for the contact pins which is accessible from the front, is formed, into which an insertion slot opens, which leads to an end face of the housing and allows the contact pins to be inserted into the guide slot.
  • At least two resilient contact elements are accommodated in a contact-safe manner in the housing, each of which has a contact area for the contact pins which projects into the guide slot and each with contact means in the form of plug contacts or insulation displacement contacts, which allow the connection of external electrical conductors.
  • the version mentioned at the outset is characterized according to the invention in that the socket body is formed in one piece and has slot-like depressions for the contact-proof reception of the contact elements, in which the contact elements are locked and which are essentially open towards the front and / or rear of the socket body are.
  • One-piece socket bodies can be produced in a very simple manner from plastic, for example by injection molding. By dispensing with covers, caps or other additional parts, as are required in the known housing constructions, assembly is also very simple. It is only necessary to insert the two contact springs into the slot-like depressions provided for them and their shape, in which they are automatically held captive. The dimensions of these slit-like depressions, ie in particular the slot depth and the slot width are chosen so that the contact springs, d. the contact element, in its respective recess, is kept safe from touch after insertion without additional measures being required.
  • the formation of the one-piece socket body with recesses projecting into the socket body from one side and / or from the other side allows a very simple design of the injection mold and, on the other hand, free air circulation, and in this way there is a risk of heat build-up, as is the case with closed ones Housing occasionally occurs, avoided from the outset.

  • the width and the depth of the slot-like depressions 26, 26 a are chosen so that the contact springs 15 used therein are kept safe from contact without additional measures, such as own covers and the like.
  • chamber-like depressions 33, 34 are formed in the disk-shaped socket body 1, which extend from the rear to a thin bottom wall almost to the front 2 or pass through to it;
  • through the socket body through channels 35, 36 are provided, which together with the openings 13 and the chamber-like recesses 33, 34 ensure a large area available for heat exchange with the environment and good air circulation through the socket body 1.
  • the guide slot 7 is formed continuously next to the web-like support part 11 from the front to the back, the slot width on the back being dimensioned such that perfect contact security is maintained for the contact spring 15 used in each case.
  • each of the line receiving channels 38 has a substantially U-shaped cross section (see FIG. 7) and is delimited by parallel or slightly inclined side walls 40 and a flat bottom wall 41.
  • insertion bevels 42 are provided for an electrical line.
  • each line receiving channel 38 has a cross-sectional constriction 43 (FIG. 2), which is dimensioned such that an electrical line inserted into the cable entry duct 38 can be clamped with its insulation to the ribs laterally delimiting the cross-sectional constriction 43.
  • the dimensions (depth, width and length) of the line receiving channel 38 which has a greater width than the electrical line to be inserted, are dimensioned such that a line end cut off in the line receiving channel 38 next to the insulation displacement slot 20, without further measures, is safe to touch in the corresponding section of the line receiving channel 38 is kept.
  • the line receiving channels 38 are suitable for interacting with the line laying tool of an automatic wiring system, as described in EP-A1-0573 791.
  • the two line receiving channels 38 are arranged at an angle to one another, their planes of symmetry 39 enclosing an angle of more than 90 ° (approx. 115 °). This arrangement ensures that each of the two line-receiving channels 38 is completely unobstructed in the extension of its plane of symmetry 39, so that an inserted line can be freely fed and in particular a line-laying tool can make contact with the contact point formed by the insulation displacement slot 20 freely and from it can drive away freely.
  • two locking pins or split pins 44 are formed on the socket body 1 on opposite sides, which allow the socket, with the rear side 3 of the socket body 1 facing a carrier, to be fastened to the latter.

At the same time, the plastic required for the production is reduced to a minimum without the strength or stability of the frame body 1 having a honeycomb structure being impaired thereby.
  • the two contact pins of the fluorescent lamp to be inserted into the socket are first inserted in the vertical direction into the guide slot 7 through the insertion slot 8 and the slot 10 (FIG. 1) aligned with them in the manner customary in such sockets.
  • the fluorescent lamp is then rotated through 90 ° about its axis until the two contact pins indicated in FIG. 5 at 46 assume the horizontal position of use, in which they are locked in a rotationally and elastically locked manner.
  • the two contact pins 46 grind over a considerable length of the contact area 16 of the first leg 19 of the two contact springs 15 until they find the groove-shaped recesses 18, in which they are locked in a releasable position.
  • a relatively large radial compressive force is exerted on the contact pins 46.

  • the insertion slot 8 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 is omitted, as is the circular-cylindrical pin 90 which delimits the inside of the guide slot 70 without the longitudinal slot 10 according to FIG. 1.
  • the contact springs 150 which cross the guide slot 70 in a secant manner on both sides of the pin 90 have a contact region 160 which extends through the guide slot 70 and in which a groove-shaped depression 180 is formed.
  • Both contact springs 150 are with their legs 190 carrying the contact area 160 and the adjoining, angled legs 210 in slot-like depressions 260, 260a in the socket body 100 or in the bottom of the attachment housing 50, i.e. received in the socket body 100 so that it is safe to touch.
  • the relationships are fundamentally similar to those in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 and are therefore not explained again.
  • connection devices 51 for electrical conductors are formed on the attachment housing 50 (FIGS. 8, 12), in which contact means in the form of insulation displacement contacts of the contact springs 150 are touch-proof are included.
  • connection devices each have an element 52 designed as an insulation displacement connector, which contains a line receiving channel 380 of U-shaped cross-sectional shape, which is designed in the same way as the line inlet channel 38 of FIGS. 2, 6 and is therefore not explained further.
  • An L-shaped leg 230c of the associated contact spring 150 crosses the line receiving channel 380, in which an insulation displacement slot 200 is formed.
  • the insulation displacement slot 200 is aligned with the plane of symmetry of the associated line receiving channel 380, which in turn is designed in the vicinity of the insulation displacement slot 200 with the cross-sectional constrictions 430 already explained.
  • the two line receiving channels 380 are aligned parallel to the plane containing the opening edge 101 of the add-on housing 50, it being possible for them to be offset with respect to one another in the axial direction or else in height.
