Abstract
Dargestellt und beschrieben ist eine in einem Isolierkörper angeordnete schraubenlose Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme für elektrische Leiter, insbes. für Lampen- oder Starterfassungen, Schalter od. dgl., umfassend je wenigstens einen Kontaktkörper und eine Klemmfeder aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen, wobei die Klemmfeder einen Verbindungsbereich, mit dem sie am Kontaktkörper festgelegt ist, und einen in Leitereinsteckrichtung sowie schräg gegen einen Abschnitt des Kontaktkörpers gerichteten Federschenkel aufweist, der den Leiter zwischen sich und dem Kontaktkörper klemmt. Zur Vereinfachung der Herstellung einer solchen Klemme ist der Verbindungsbereich von einem Klemmfederabschnitt ausgebildet, der sich auf der dem Federschenkel gegenüberliegenden Seite des Kontaktkörpers an diesem im wesentlichen druckschlüssig abstützt und der Isolierkörper bildet Positionierelemente zur lagegerechten Zuordnung von Klemmfeder und Kontaktkörper aus. Kontaktkörper und Federschenkel, die nicht mehr fest miteinander verbundenen sind, können nacheinander in das Isoliergehäuse eingesetzt werden. Dort liegt der Verbindungsabschnitt der Klemmfeder im wesentlichen zunächst unverspannt am Kontaktkörper an, wenn kein Leiter in der Klemme befindlich ist. Durch den zwischen Federschenkel und Kontaktkörper eingeführten Leiter bilden sodann Federschenkel und Kontaktkörper infolge Verspannung eine selbsttragende Konstruktion aus, die die auf sie einwirkenden Kräfte - vom Isolierkörper fernhaltend - in sich aufnimmt. Shown and described is a arranged in an insulating screwless connection or connection terminal for electrical conductors, esp. For lamp or starter sockets, switches od. Like., Each comprising at least one contact body and a clamping spring made of different materials, wherein the clamping spring has a connecting portion, with which it is fixed to the contact body, and having a Leitereinsteckrichtung and obliquely directed against a portion of the contact body spring leg which clamps the conductor between itself and the contact body. To simplify the production of such a terminal, the connecting portion is formed by a clamping spring portion which is supported on the spring leg opposite side of the contact body at this substantially pressure-locking and the insulating body forms positioning elements for the correct allocation of clamping spring and contact body. Contact body and spring legs, which are no longer firmly connected, can be successively inserted into the insulating housing. There, the connecting portion of the clamping spring is initially unstressed at the contact body, if no conductor is located in the terminal. As a result of the tension introduced between the spring leg and the contact body, spring legs and contact bodies then form a self-supporting construction as a result of stress, which absorbs the forces acting on them - keeping them away from the insulating body.
