Definitions
- the invention relates to a contact pin for solderless attachment in metallized perforations of electrical circuit boards with a at least partially elastically deformable press-in section, the Has contact bracket, each having a web section, the web sections as tapered wedge sections are formed with their tapered end regions to each other are aligned that when inserting the press-in section the wedge sections at least in sections to one another slide past.
- Such a contact pin is known from US 4,606,589 A.
- the known contact pin has a deformable press-in section with contact clips that insert the contour of one inserted into a printed circuit board perforation as well as protrude beyond the circuit board hole.
- the contact bracket have tapered wedge sections that before inserting the contact pin into a PCB hole are spaced from each other. By inserting the Wedge sections moved towards each other until they were finally along planer sliding pages slide together. This sudden glide leads to a sudden change in the elasticity of the press-in section, which increases the risk of cracking in the Metal coating of the PCB perforation increased.
- a contact pin with an elastic is deformable press-in section disclosed, the two together includes sliding contact bracket.
- the contact clips point each a fuselage area with different increases Sliding pages and an arm area.
- the arm area of each contact bracket is in Direction of the spaced trunk area of the opposite Contact bracket moves. Finally the arm area slides open the trunk area, whereby the elasticity of the press-in section in the following continuously depending on the slope of the sliding pages decreased.
- the contact pin described in US Pat. No. 3,783,433 has also a flexible press-in section with contact clips, whose web sections when pressing the contact pin together ride up.
- the web sections are not wedge-shaped trained, whereby a particularly gentle sliding is avoided.
- the contact pin disclosed in EP 0 279 061 A has contact clips with T-shaped web sections, which when pressed in of the contact pin moved towards each other in a circuit board hole become. However, the web cuts do not occur Contact with each other.
- EP 0 731 526 A2 discloses a contact pin with a press-in section.
- the contact pin has a lengthways concave and Circumferentially rounded contact bracket, which are spaced apart by a needle-like elongated hole. Due to the concave and rounded design of the contact bracket, high holding forces can be generated in the perforations of printed circuit boards, while at the same time damaging the metal coating of the perforations is avoided. Due to the concave design of the contact bracket, however, there are different contact pressures in the longitudinal direction, which can be undesirable in particular in the case of multilayer printed circuit boards.
- the elastic deformability of the press-in section is an important part of solderless insertion Property. Is the elastic deformability Too low can result in the manufacture of printed circuit boards resulting hole tolerances are no longer compensated become. There is also the risk the metal coating when inserting the contact pin the perforation by adjusting Cracks or even tearing open to damage it may be necessary to replace the contact pin or a repair is difficult. Furthermore can by inserting metal shavings are formed at other locations on the circuit board Make unwanted electrical connections can.
- the invention has for its object a contact pin to create the type mentioned, with defined press-in forces can be inserted into a perforation so that when exchanged damage affecting the electrical properties a hole coating is avoided, and its press-in section at the same time to form gas-tight connections generated sufficiently high holding forces.
- the task with a contact pin type mentioned solved in that the wedge sections have convex sliding sides along which the wedge sections slide past each other.
- the wedge sections slide past each other to allow the wedge sections one further training be designed asymmetrically and via non-contact pages facing away from each other that differ from the opening pages and differently sloping, have sections aligned at an angle to one another.
- the contact clips expediently have slides into the assigned perforation shoulders in the area of which the wedge sections the contact bracket extend into it.
- the wedge sections preferably extend over a substantial part of the press-in section.
- the contact bracket can in a central area of the Press-in section parallel, concave or the cross section of the contact pin reducing each other to get lost.
- the contact pin comprises in addition to the press-in section, a shaft section, which is located at one end of the press-in section connects, and an insertion section, the opposite of the shaft section End of the press-in section extends.
- the shaft section and the insertion section point a smaller one with respect to the press-in section Transverse diameter so that the press-in section the shaft portion and the insertion portion circumferentially surmounted.
- the contact pin shown by way of example in FIG. 1 1 comprises a shaft section 2, one itself press-in section adjoining the shaft section 2 3 and an insertion section 4, which on the the shaft section 2 opposite end of the Press-in section 3 is arranged.
- the shaft section 2 is at its free end tapered like a wedge and can vary depending on the application of the contact pin 1 in a plastic body pressed in or over a certain length overmolded with plastic. In one of those Plastic surrounding area of the shaft section 2 can be an inflexible to increase the holding force Embossing may be appropriate. This can be designed in this way be that, for example with a 2-, 4-wing embossing, a 2-, 4- harpoon embossing or the like, to a section-wise enlargement of the circumference of the shaft section 2, or, for example with a notch, one section at a time Reduction of the circumference of the shaft section 2 results.
- the insertion section 4 has for centering of the contact pin 1 with respect to a not shown Printed circuit board perforation, itself tapering centering shoulders at the ends 5.
- the centering shoulders 5 go into one at the press-in section 3 adjacent intermediate section 6 over, whose diameter is essentially that of Shaft section 2 corresponds.
- the shaft section 2 and the insertion section 4 point in the illustrated Embodiment a rectangular Cross section on.
- the cross section could, however just as different, for example cylindrical, be designed.
- the press-in section 3 has a first contact clip 7 and a second contact bracket 8, wherein the contact bracket 7, 8 the contour of both the shaft section 2 and the insertion section 4 protrude circumferentially, so that on the shaft portion 2 adjacent end of the press-in section 3 shaft transition shoulders 9 and on the on the Insertion section 4 adjacent end insertion shoulders 10 are formed. Between the shaft transition shoulders 9 and the shoulders 10 extends there is a central region 11 of the press-in section 3.
- the contact bracket 7, 8 have Wedge sections 12, 13 running towards each other are aligned and over the entire mid-range 11 to the area of the shoulders 10 extend into it.
- the shaft transition shoulders 9 for supporting an insertion device at least sectionally perpendicular to the shaft section 2, so that acting pressures are intercepted become.
- the central region 11 in the direction of the shaft section 2 extend, however, the extent the wedge sections 12, 13 remains constant.
- Fig. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the Wedge sections 12, 13 of the contact bracket 7, 8 in Cross section in the central region 11 of the press-in section 3, in which the offset against each other Wedge sections 12, 13 with the edges of their end regions 17 formed like a wedge stump bump against each other so that they are on a bump line 18 Touch in a line.
- the wedge sections 12, 13 continue to point to each other, concave sliding pages 19, 20 and Non-contact pages 21, 22 facing away from one another on.
- the non-contact sides 21, 22 each include an inside, rising relatively flat Flat section 23 and a more oblique Steep section 24 in the outdoor area.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the contact pin 1 1 and Fig. 2 after insertion into a a hole coating 29 lined PCB holes 30 of a circuit board 31.
- the wedge sections 12, 13 were pasted along their sliding pages 19, 20 sliding past each other shifted against each other, so that between the On sliding sides 19, 20 there is a flat contact.
- 26 come the four bow edge curves 27, 28 partially also on the hole coating 29 for contact, due to the contact forces of the contact bracket 7, 8 the hole coating 29 from the contact clips 7, 8 was partially displaced.
- the contact pin 1 first brought up to the circuit board perforation 30 and through the centering shoulder 5 of the insertion section 4 centered with respect to this.
- the contact pin 1 can now be generated for as long as this an inward perforation pressure in the PCB holes 30 are inserted until the circumference of the sliding shoulders 10 the diameter corresponds to the printed circuit board perforation 30.
- a further embodiment according to the Invention can increase the slope of the sliding sides 19, 20 increase towards the shaft section 2, for example, if an application in this area greater holding forces should be required.
- Another embodiment is the slope the sliding sides 19, 20 in the middle of the press-in section 3 less than at the edges of the Wedge sections 12, 13 so that an arcuate Formation of the contact bracket 7, 8 occurring gradient of the contact pressure in the PCB perforation 30 is compensated.
- modified embodiment are on the slip pages 19, 20 opposing the end regions 17 of the wedge sections 12, 13 Run-up areas provided, the one interchangeable connection only for PCB perforations Allow 30 specific assigned size.
