Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a female electrical contact terminal in one piece, made of cut and formed sheet metal, intended to receive a male contact. It relates more particularly to a terminal of the type comprising a front body in the form of a cage having a bottom, an upper wall, and two side walls each having an internal tab which is connected to them by a 180 ° fold and which has at the front a cantilevered part constituting a contact blade.
  • Contact terminals of the type defined above are already known, which can be manufactured by cutting, folding, forming and optionally rolling a strip wafer much more economically than the low-cut terminals.
  • the existing contacts made of cut and formed sheet metal have a certain number of drawbacks. If the contact blades are initially in abutment against one another and oppose a high force to their spacing, which is favorable to the establishment of a high contact pressure guaranteeing a good quality electrical connection, the insertion force is high and there is a risk of difficult introduction. This first drawback can become serious if numerous contact terminals are provided in the same connector. If, on the contrary, the contact blades are initially separated, the pressure exerted by each contact blade may in certain cases be insufficient to ensure a good electrical connection.
  • the single or double walled electrical terminals must also resist any tearing or shearing action on the metal strip constituting them.
  • the intersections of the cutting lines can shear, tear under the action of a lateral mechanical thrust exerted on a wall or parallel to this one.
  • the invention thus relates to a female electrical contact terminal obtained from a single plate of electrically conductive metal comprising a rear part (14) allowing its connection by crimping with an electric wire (20), of a transition zone ( 15) and of a cage-shaped front part (10) consisting of a bottom (22), two side walls (26) provided with means for guiding a male contact (12) during its insertion and means of fixing this cage in connection boxes, of two upper half-walls for which the walls (26) of the cage extend in the part close to the transition zone (15) by two branches (71,72) square-shaped.
  • the branches (71,72) of the bracket can further define with the side walls (26) an opening (70) allowing the passage of a secondary locking device.
  • the brackets can define between them a passage (73) in which the end of the wire to be crimped is positioned.
  • the terminal whose final constitution is shown in Figures 1 and 3 to 6, made from a wafer of the kind shown in Figure 2, is intended to be inserted in a connector housing whose general constitution may be conventional.
  • the terminal 10 is in one piece, it can be viewed as having a front body 11 intended to receive a male contact 12 and a rear part or barrel to be crimped 14. These two parts are separated by a transition zone 15.
  • the bole 14 has two sets of tabs 16 and 18, respectively intended to be crimped onto the core and onto the sheath of an electric wire 20.
  • the body of the terminal 10 has a cage shape having a bottom 22 and two sides 24. Each side 24 is double. It comprises an external wall 26 and an internal tongue 28. Each external wall 26 is produced by folding the original plate at 90 ° along one of the lines 30 indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 2.
  • the internal tongue 28 is connected to the external wall 26 by a 180 ° fold along the edge indicated at 32 in FIG. 2.
  • the assembly of the two walls and tabs 26 and 28 have a fold at right angles along the lines designated by 34 in the figure. 2.
  • each internal tab 28 is connected to the corresponding external wall 26 only in its rear part.
  • the front part of each internal tab 28 thus constitutes an elastic contact blade 29 for generating pressure on the surface of the male contact 12 when the latter is inserted.
  • each contact blade 29 could be split by a slot over a part of its length from the free end, this allows a more regular support but this fractionation is however not essential.
  • One or both of the contacts may not have a slot. Conversely, it would be possible to provide more than one slot in each contact blade.
  • Each contact blade 29 advantageously has a shape of the kind shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the cantilever part, forming electrical contact represents a little more than half of the total length of the internal tab 28 and is put in position. forms so as to have an inward camber. It also has a thickened bend 27 directed towards the other contact blade, in the immediate vicinity of its free end.
  • the elastic force due to the bending of the contact blade 29 and tending to bring two blades closer together, is absorbed by a flap 46 of the corresponding outer wall 26, folded back.
  • This flap 46 which also allows the guiding of the male contact during its insertion, thus retains the contact blade 29 in bending preload in a position close to the external wall 26 to which it is linked, that is to say in a position where it is out of contact with the other contact blade 29 which is opposite to it.
  • the fold of the flaps is located in front of the end edges of the side walls of the cage and is rounded, which facilitates the introduction of the terminal into the insulator 51 of a connector housing , not shown, and limits the risks of deterioration of this insulator.
  • the bottom and ceiling edges can be softened.
  • openings 50 intended to allow the immobilization of the terminal in an insulator 51 using a locking finger 52 which may have any of the constitutions used at present.
  • this finger consists of an elongated beam formed during the molding of the insulation, having a lug 53 directed towards the interior of the cell of the insulation and capable of engaging in the window 50 Because the beam 52 extends in front of the lug 53, it is possible to unlock the terminal by pushing a tube through the front passage 54 of the insulation (delimited by an annular lip having a gap allowing the mounting of the tongue 52), this tube sliding between the side of the terminal and the beam. Due to the symmetrical location of the two windows 50, the terminal can occupy one or the other of two symmetrical positions in the cell of the insulation.
  • the window 50 has on one of its sides a portion of wall which during manufacture allows the strip to be deformed so as to form a fold 55.
  • This fold 55 defines a shoulder, the surface 56 of which is designed to cooperate with the upper bearing surface 57 of the lug 53 allowing the terminal to be fixed in the cell of the insulation.
  • this deformation 55 is oriented inward and constitutes a stop acting on the outer surface of the contact blade 29 so as to avoid any risk of exceeding the elastic limit of said blade.
  • the folds 55 of the two outer walls 26 converge in the same horizontal plane so that the contact points between the male contact 12 and the contact blades 29 on the one hand and between the contact blades 29 and folds 55 on the other hand define a space which eliminates any possibility of introducing a male contact not conforming to the dimensions of the female terminal.
  • the fold 55 has a double orientation.
  • the first folding directs the pre-cut strip part towards the center of the terminal, then a second operation orientates the same strip part 180 ° towards the outside of the terminal, thus reinforcing the mechanical strength of the shoulder formed by the fold 55
  • the lower surface 56 of the fold 55 has a large bearing surface on the upper surface 57 of the lug 53 which avoids any risk of shearing of the wafer despite the reduction in the thickness of the strip.
  • This surface 56 is substantially greater than the bearing surface 57 so that the force exerted is as homogeneous as possible on these surfaces and does not generate an overhang.
  • the respective planes of the complementary bearing surfaces 56 and 57 define an angle ⁇ with the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bollard, so that their respective opposite slopes create an effect of self-engagement between the bollard and the 'insulating.
  • the value of the angle ⁇ of the surface 57 of the lug is between 1 ° and 45 ° and preferably has a value of 15 °.
  • the windows 50a made in the walls of the electrical terminals of the prior art can obviously have the folds 55 although these walls are simple.
  • FIGS. 5 and 5A show a device for consolidating the terminal 10.
  • the flap 46 has a width L substantially equal to the internal width defined by the walls of the bollard once folded so that the lateral edges of the flaps 46 come to bear on the inner surface of the bottom and of the upper half-walls of the bollard.
  • these walls are provided with openings 60 into which engage pins 61 formed on the ends of the lateral edges of the flaps 46.
  • this consolidation of the cage forming the terminal 10 also allows bracing of the walls of this cage and makes it possible to avoid any accidental crushing.
  • the fixing of the flaps 46 in the cage can be carried out by a single stud 61 provided on one or the other of the lateral edges of the flap 46.
  • Figures 6 and 6A show another arrangement capable of strengthening the mechanical rigidity of the terminal in general.
  • transition zone 15 which can undergo deformations or misalignments harmful for the establishment of the terminals in the insulators.
  • this transition zone is of reduced size.
  • the walls 26 of the front body 11 are extended by two branches 71 and 72 in the form of a square which define with the bottom 22 and the wall 26 an opening 70 thus constituted by 4 sides cooperating together in the consolidation of this partially hollowed-out area.
  • the opening 70 allows the introduction of any secondary lateral locking device of the terminal in a connector housing.
  • a space 73 allowing the positioning of the end of any wire to be crimped slightly exceeding the dimensions required, thus preventing this wire from pushing back the terminal beyond the standards required for the correct positioning of the terminal in its insulator.
  • the manufacture is carried out by cutting and forming (folding) of copper alloy strips having a thickness of 0.29 mm.
  • the strip is cut to give rise to successive plates of the kind shown in FIG. 2, connected together by a connecting strip 66.
  • the fold lines, indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2 can be marked with the press.
  • the contact blades 29 are shaped by bending and striking and the flaps 46 are formed.
  • the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments which have been shown and described by way of examples. It is susceptible to many variations. For example, it is possible to constitute a terminal whose faces are not exactly parallel but have a slope; a notch allowing the passage of the male blade at an angle, which is required for certain sealing embodiments, intended to receive a sealing tongue can be provided in front of the contact ceiling. It should be understood that the scope of this patent extends to such variants and more generally than to all others remaining within the framework of equivalences.
