Definitions
- the present invention relates to a contact spring for a Connector according to the preamble of the claim 1, i.e. a contact spring for a connector, with two Spring legs and a common support section, wherein the spring legs are arranged and designed such that they are able from opposite sides one Apply pressure to an inserted contact knife and contacting it, and taking the spring legs so laterally offset from each other are that they are facing each other in the respective pressure directions do not overlap.
- a contact spring of this type is known from US-A-3 865 462.
- the contact spring described in this document is relative easy to manufacture, but it is not special close together and is also in terms of Spring force exerted by the spring legs on an intermediate one Contact knife can be exercised, not optimal.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object the contact spring according to the preamble of claim 1 to develop in such a way that it is still easy to manufacture safe and reliable under all circumstances works and the provision of small contact splits in the Connector allows.
- the carrier section is essentially one Z-like cross-section.
- the contact spring 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a first spring leg 2, a second spring leg 3 and one common carrier section 4.
- the above-mentioned contact spring components are connected as one Unit educated and consist of conductive Material.
- the carrier section 4 as can be seen from FIG. 1, an essentially Z-like cross-section.
- the spring legs 2 and 3 are elongated elements with a relatively large width and a comparatively small one Thickness; they each have a root 2a or 3a and one Tip 2b or 3b.
- the roots 2a and 3a stand with the support section 4 in this way in connection that the spring legs are able each with one of its broadsides from opposite Sides a compressive force on an interposed contact knife 20 (see FIG. 2) and contacting it, the roots 2a and 3a as well as the spring legs 2 and 3 from a frontal opposite side are offset from each other that they are in each other do not overlap the respective directions of pressure.
- the two spring legs 2 and 3 are elastic Elements which are in the relaxed state in the position shown in FIG shown type based on the respective root 2a or 3a first inclined in the respective direction of the pressure force and then formed inclined against the respective direction of the pressure force are.
- the spring legs are at the respective tips 2b and 3b at this point widening lateral projections 2c or 3c provided, which, as explained in detail later is used as holders for the spring legs in the inlet area for a contact knife to be contacted.
- FIG. 2 Front view of the connector can be seen is, this has a housing 10 with a plurality of in (arranged one above the other as shown in FIG. 2) Rows arranged contact openings 11.
- the contact openings 11 have, as in the upper, not cut Section of Figure 2 is indicated, a rectangular opening cross-section, the dimensions of which on the one hand to the underlying ones in the assembled state Contact springs adapted and the other hand so defined is that one can be contacted by plugging in Contact knife 20 considerable scope is what it is when plugging together with respect to the center the contact opening or the contact spring centered for this purpose misaligned or misaligned.
- the contact springs provided under the contact openings 11 1 are each in contact chambers 12 of the connector housing 10 housed.
- the contact chambers 12 are in accordance with the cross-sectional design the contact springs are Z-shaped.
- the entanglement of contact spring 1 shown in FIG. 2 and spring chamber 12 is also Z-shaped, but opposite (mirrored) to that shown in Figure 1 Entanglement of the contact spring 1 entangled; the however, the two entanglements are technically equivalent.
- the spring chambers 12 have at their as shown in the upper left and lower right end of FIG diagonally opposite corner sections in plan view Guide slots 13, in which in the spring chambers used contact springs, the projections 2c and 3c of the spring legs 2 and 3 are slidably received.
- the size of the spring chambers 12 and the guide slots 13 are dimensioned so that the projections 2c and 3c of the spring legs 2 and 3 the guide slots 13 except when disassembling cannot leave; the tips 2b and 3b of the in not assembled state freely movable spring leg are therefore different from conventional contact springs installation in the connector housing is no longer freely movable. Rather, they are applied as shown in FIG. 2 the spring chamber wall and can - due to the described Leadership mechanism - do not leave the latter.
- the contact spring described can be punched out of a Metal part through a simple and uncomplicated preforming be produced.
- the contact spring according to the invention thus enables simpler Manufacturability as well as safe and reliable function the provision of small contact pitches in a connector.
