Abstract

Ein Trägergurt für Kontaktstiffe als Halbprodukt zur Herstellung von elektrischen Steckverbindungen weist einen ebenen, im wesentlichen rechteckigen Bodenabschnitt (24) auf, an dessen Längsrändern sich jeweils rechtwinklig hochgebogene Laschen (26,30) anschließen, die jeweils abwechselnd in zwei parallelen Längsebenen liegen, die um mindestens die Materialstärke der Laschen (26,30) zueinander querversetzt sind, und die nach oben offene, paarweise miteinander querausgerichtete Aussparungen (14,16) aufweisen, wobei in jedes Paar Aussparungen (14,14 und 16,16) ein Kontaktstift (34) einpreßbar ist, wobei an beiden Längsrändern des Bodenabschnittes (24) jeweils eine Reihe äußerer Laschen (30) und eine Reihe innerer Laschen (26) gebildet sind, und der Zwischenraum zwischen den in einer der beiden Ebenen liegenden Laschen (26,30) an jedem Längsrand kleiner als die Breite der in der jeweils anderen Ebene liegenden Laschen (26,30) ist, so dass jede Lasche (26,30) die beiden benachbarten Laschen (30,26) überlappt. Die Laschen (26,30) stützen sich wechselseitig aneinander ab, wodurch der Trägerstreifen eine hohe Stabilität erhält.

Figure 00000001
A carrier belt for contact pins as a semifinished product for the production of electrical plug connections has a flat, essentially rectangular base section (24), on the longitudinal edges of which are connected at right angles bent tabs (26, 30), which alternately lie in two parallel longitudinal planes, which are around at least the material thickness of the tabs (26, 30) is offset with respect to one another, and they have cutouts (14, 16) that are open at the top and aligned in pairs with one another, with a contact pin (34) in each pair of cutouts (14, 14 and 16, 16) can be pressed in, a series of outer plates (30) and a series of inner plates (26) being formed on both longitudinal edges of the base section (24), and the space between the plates (26, 30) lying in one of the two planes on each The longitudinal edge is smaller than the width of the tabs (26, 30) lying in the other plane, so that each tab (26, 30) adjoins the two overlap types of tabs (30, 26). The tabs (26, 30) are mutually supported, which gives the carrier strip high stability.
