Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact element with a screw connection for electrical conductors, the contact element having a conductor connection part, which is provided with a hole into which the conductor can be inserted and by means of a transverse to the axis of the bore or the conductor in a threaded bore screw which can be screwed into the conductor connecting part can be clamped, and wherein between the end of the screw facing the conductor and a wire protection plate is provided in the hole for the conductor.
  • the invention has for its object a contact element of the beginning mentioned type, d. H. to design the screw connection thereof, that it can be inserted into a carrier body and is held therein without that additional bracket means are needed.
  • the wire protection plate essentially Is L-shaped, and has an angled foot that the wire mudguard is inserted into the hole so that the foot located at the bottom of the hole, and that the foot with side barbed Formations is provided when inserting the wire protection plate Dig into the wall of the hole.
  • wire mudguard with a stiffened one Thigh and a rounded transition between the foot and the Leg given that the stiffened area no deformation learns when tightening the clamping screw and that the resilient Properties of the rounded transition remain unaffected.
  • the wire mudguard has optimal spring and spring back properties.
  • Another advantage is the design of the conductor insertion hole a tulip-shaped insertion area and a correspondingly adapted one Leg of the wire protection plate and the use of a clamping screw given with a spherical crest in that the distance between the force application point and the support point of the wire protection plate on the conductor / stranded wire considerably compared to conventional designs is reduced. The result of this is that with the same tightening torque the bending stress of the component is almost halved, which increases the recovery and extends the service life becomes.
  • a carrier body 1 made of insulating material of an electrical connector is shown in section.
  • the carrier body is provided with chambers 2, in which electrical contact elements 3 are inserted.
  • the contact elements are held in a positive manner in the chambers.
  • the contact elements are provided with a screw connection 4 for connecting and fastening electrical conductors 5.
  • the screw connection 4 of a contact element is shown in detail and enlarged.
  • the contact element for forming the screw connection is provided with a blind hole-shaped, axial bore 6.
  • a threaded bore 7 extending transversely to this bore is provided, into which a clamping screw 8 is screwed.
  • a substantially L-shaped wire protection plate 9 is inserted into the bore 6, the leg 10 of which is located after the insertion of a conductor 5 into the bore between the front end of the screw 8 and the conductor 5.
  • the wire protection plate 9 which is shown in perspective and enlarged in FIG. 4, has an angled foot 11 and the leg 10 already mentioned. Lateral projections 12 are formed on the foot.
  • the outer distance A of the formations is slightly larger than the diameter of the bore 6 of the screw connection. This has the effect that when the wire protection plate is pressed into the bore 6, the projections dig into the wall of the bore and the wire protection plate is held captive therein. (See Figs. 5 and 6)
  • this retention of the wire protection plate acts on the formations in the manner of a pivot bearing and the wire protection plate can pivot to a small extent about the X axis.
  • the transition 13 from the foot 11 to the leg 10 of the wire protection plate is preferably rounded to achieve a suspension of the wire protection plate in this area.
  • the leg 10 of the wire protection plate is provided with an indentation 14 with a bulge which is located in the area of the screw 8 when the wire protection plate is installed.
  • the bar is inherently stiff and inelastic and the suspension and bending of the wire protection plate when a conductor is clamped takes place in transition 13.
  • the upper end 15 of the leg 10 is slightly outward bent and the tip 16 of the screw 6 hemispherical educated. Overall, the leg is thus slightly S-shaped.
  • the insertion area 17 of the bore 6 is preferably tulip-shaped expanded.
