Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting element for electrical lines, which is formed in a cross-sectionally U-shaped connection region for the line with at least one pair of opposing crimp legs.
  • Such connecting members are known from DE 89 09 562 U1, JP9-180772 and DE 93 04 392 U1, where they form the terminal part of a contact element with insulation displacement and crimp connection.
  • the insulated electrical lead terminal region is formed with a pair or more pairs of crimp legs and is generally designed for single single diameter leads. If several such similar connection organs as part of a contact z. B. used in a contact housing of an electrical connector and cables of different diameters to be connected, they must be posted with specially tailored to the respective pipe diameter processing tools to the terminal organs.
  • a multi-pole, fully equipped with contacts contact housing is considered, are processed in the lines with a cross-section of, for example, 0.35 and 0.5 mm 2 .
  • the lines of the smaller cross-section must be sequentially struck with a special tool to the designated contacts.
  • the lines of the larger cross section must be sequentially connected to the remaining contacts with a special tool. This results in a processing-consuming and time-consuming procedure.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simple and cost-effective solution for crimping of different cable diameters.
  • the crimp legs are provided with retaining tabs for electrical conduction.
  • the retaining tabs are torn out of the wall of a crimp leg and bent inwards.
  • the tearing out of the retaining tabs is in connection organs, which - in particular, if they form the connection part of a contact element for electrical connections - are usually made in a stamping bending process, thereby allowing this in the wall of the crimp leg corresponding separating cuts are introduced.
  • two mutually parallel, mutually spaced separating cuts perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and one in the longitudinal direction of the line transverse to the two parallel separating cuts extending further separating cut are to be attached in the crimp legs.
  • two matching retaining tabs are spaced from the bottom of the terminal area, that is, they protrude freely in the interior space between two crimp legs.
  • the retaining tabs thus thus form a support for an electrical line to be inserted for crimping between two crimp legs.
  • the electrical leads in a crimp connection are insulated electrical leads, However, it is also conceivable to attach bare electrical conductors to a crimp connection.
  • a connecting element is now suitable in the following manner for cables with different cross section.
  • insulated electrical cables with a cable cross section of 0.35 mm 2 (outer diameter over the insulation approx. 1.3 - 1.4 mm) and with a cable cross section of 0.5 mm 2 (outer diameter over the insulation approx. 1, 6 mm).
  • the insulated line When hitting the lines of smaller cross section, the insulated line is after rolling the crimp leg on the line insulation on the retaining tabs. These penetrate something in the isolation.
  • the insulated line pushes the retaining tabs down, ie back into the wall of the crimp leg, and then lies on the bottom of the connection area.
  • the peculiarity of the invention is thus to be seen in the geometry of the crimping connection formed by the retaining tabs, which is thus designed so that no punch stroke adjustment on the processing tool is required when striking lines with different cross sections.
  • the inventive design of a connecting member thus has the advantages that at least one processing tool is saved in the processing of lines of different cross-section and the possibility of parallel processing of all contacts is given (time savings).
  • the contact element 1 has a contact region 2 and a connection region 3 as the connection element according to the invention.
  • the contact region 2 can be formed for example by a contact socket or a contact spring into which a contact pin or a contact blade of a mating contact element can be inserted.
  • the connection region 3 is provided for connection of the contact element 1 with an insulated electrical conductor and for this purpose has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, whereby a channel for inserting an end portion of an electrical conductor not shown in detail in Figure 1 is formed.
  • bottom wall parts 4, 5 are cut free and angled transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connection region 3 between side walls 6, 7 of the U-shape perpendicular to the bottom 13 so that the bottom wall parts 4, 5 extend parallel to each other are spaced apart and one each through two Forming opposite edges 8 formed slot 9 for the introduction of the insulated conductor.
  • the contact element 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is provided with two each of the bottom wall parts 4 and 5 formed insulation displacement points.
  • an outer pair of crimp legs 10, 11 are provided, which are formed in the side walls 6, 7 of the connection region 3 and opposite each other.
  • the crimp legs 10, 11 of the outer pair are shark fin shaped and arranged offset in opposite directions.
  • the terminal portion 3 is provided to the crimp terminal of the conductor at its two longitudinal sides with another pair of opposed, equally shaped crimp legs 12, 13, which are also formed in the side walls 6, 7 of the terminal portion 3 and in the same manner as the crimp leg 10th , 11 of the outer crimp leg pair offset in opposite directions to each other, but are arranged as an inner crimp leg pair between the insulation displacement points 4 and 5.
  • all four crimp legs 10 to 13 have the same shape and height, wherein the height of the crimp leg before bending or curling is approximately equal to the height of the side walls 6, 7 and the insulation displacement points 4, 5 of the connection area 3.
  • the contact element is suitable for higher pull-out forces and because of its compact design for contact arrangements with a very small pitch.
  • the striking of the line, that is, the pressing of the conductor in the insulation displacement points 4, 5, and the bending or curling of the crimp legs 10 to 13 can be done in one tool and in one operation.
  • the crimp legs 10 to 13 are in the following manner formed with retaining tabs 14 to 17.
  • each crimp leg From the wall of each crimp leg is - after the introduction of two mutually parallel, spaced apart and perpendicular to the line direction separating cuts and a longitudinal cross-cutting in the manufacture of the contact element in a stamping process - here in each case a narrow retaining tabs 14, 15 and 16 , 17 so torn and bent inwardly towards the opposite crimp leg that two opposing retaining tabs 14, 15 and 16, 17 of a crimp leg pair 10, 11 and 12, 13 are directed with their free end 21 toward each other.
  • the retaining tabs 14, 15 and 16, 17 are respectively provided at opposite points of the crimp legs 10 to 13, so that they are aligned in the inwardly bent state to each other ( Figure 1).
  • the retaining lugs 14 to 17 In the torn from the wall of the crimp leg 10 to 13 state, ie in the initial state before the crimp, the retaining lugs 14 to 17 parallel and spaced from the bottom 20 of the connection area 3 ( Figure 3).
  • the length of the holding lugs 14 to 17 is specially adapted to the line diameter, ie to a line outer diameter over the insulation of about 1.3 - 1.4 mm in the line of smaller cross-section and of about 1.6 mm in the line larger cross section.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 now show the completed crimp connection of the two different lines.
  • the line 18 (for example, with a cross section of 0.35 mm 2 and a cable diameter of about 1.3 - 1.4 mm) is after the insulation displacement connection and the curling of the crimp legs 16, 17 on the retaining tabs 12 and 13, which easily penetrate the line insulation.
  • the line 19 (for example, with a cross section of 0.5 mm 2 and a cable diameter of about 1.6 mm) urges the retaining tabs 16, 17 down and into the wall of the crimp leg, so that in the final state ( Figure 5 ) rests on the bottom 20 of the connection region 3.
