Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices for the correct connection with each other connecting electrical components.
  • Such devices are known in many different embodiments and in use. With these devices, electrical components, such as, inter alia, electrical contacts, plugs, power strips, blade and socket connectors and printed circuit boards, boards or the like are each connected in the correct position with each other. With these devices it is achieved that the sensitive electrically conductive components, e.g. the blades or springs are connected in the correct position with each other or inserted into each other to prevent bending and thus damage the same in the manufacture of electrical contact.
  • electrical components such as, inter alia, electrical contacts, plugs, power strips, blade and socket connectors and printed circuit boards, boards or the like are each connected in the correct position with each other.
  • the sensitive electrically conductive components e.g. the blades or springs are connected in the correct position with each other or inserted into each other to prevent bending and thus damage the same in the manufacture of electrical contact.
  • the device has a so-called pin, which in Connecting direction of the two components on the component to which it is arranged, projects to be plugged into a complementarily shaped sleeve on the other component. Due to the protruding design of the pins, it is ensured that the electrical contacts are themselves connected to one another in the correct position.
  • connecting devices are known in which the pin passes through an opening which is provided in a usually laterally projecting beyond the first component wall portion.
  • To fix the pin on this first wall portion or the first component is this via a screw with a nut on the back, i. of the side facing away from the second component. This allows the pin to be e.g. in case of damage thereof due to incorrect mating, be replaced.
  • the core idea of the invention is that, in the case of the new guide system, a collar projecting beyond its peripheral surface is formed on the said pin.
  • This pin generally has a substantially uniform cross-section over its axial extent. Only at the location of the collar, this cross section is extended or changed by protruding beyond the other peripheral surface projections.
  • This collar is used according to the invention in a recess of an intermediate plate, so that the pin, relative to its longitudinal axis, is fixed against rotation to this intermediate plate at this.
  • the intermediate plate in turn is also arranged against rotation with respect to the wall portion of the first component at this.
  • the advantage of the invention is that an axial twisting of the pin is avoided relative to the component to which it is arranged, so that accidental loosening of the screw with the nut, on the back of Wandungsabitess is avoided.
  • the opening of the sleeve which faces in the direction of the pin, provided with a conical extension, in particular in the form of a funnel.
  • the pointing to the sleeve tip of the pin may be conical or tapered or rounded.
  • further alignment devices in particular in the form of projections, be provided on the intermediate plate and / or on the sleeve. These projections protrude, for example, in the insertion direction over the intermediate plate.
  • the arranged on the sleeve alignment device is for the correct alignment of the two components to each other with complementary projections and / or depressions, in which the projections of the intermediate plate can be brought into engagement provided.
  • the two components are exactly aligned with each other, wherein the projections or the further alignment device is designed such that the exact alignment prior to actually interconnecting the electrical contact elements, e.g. Knives and springs, done.
  • the electrical pin is as well as the sleeve, in which it is inserted, electrically contacted, so as to produce a short to ground between the two components, before the, in particular further, electrical contact elements themselves are interconnected.
  • the sleeve can either be made entirely of metal itself, with a corresponding connection to ground, or it is at least partially formed on the inside electrically conductive, eg coated.
  • a cross-sectional reduction or extension is formed in the form of a latching projection which cooperates with a correspondingly formed locking projection in the interior of the sleeve.
  • the latching projection is preferably designed as a circumferential reduction around the pin.
  • latching projections / cross-sectional reductions can also be arranged on the above-described projections of the other alignment devices.
  • the collar for the correct alignment of the pin with respect to the intermediate plate or the first component of the collar is formed in the form of two opposing projections, so that the pin by these two radially projecting arms or sections in a correspondingly formed recess of the intermediate plate is used against rotation.
  • the collar but also any other non-round or asymmetric shape can be borrowed, for example in the form of an N-corner, in particular triangle, square, pentagon or hexagon.
  • both intermediate plate with the alignment devices arranged thereon, and the sleeve with correspondingly formed projections / recesses each consist of integrally formed plastic components, which can be produced in a simple manner, in particular by injection molding.
  • it is possible to fix the respective elements of the connecting device by inserting further projections in further openings of the respective wall sections of the components to be joined together at these wall sections.
  • the elements can also be fastened firmly to these wall sections, for example, with a further screw.
  • the electrical contacting for producing a ground connection takes place in that the interior of the sleeve is coated electrically conductive and contacted accordingly.
  • the sleeve on the Opening opposite end is formed open, so in the form of a tube, so that the pin protrudes beyond the tube at this other end and in turn is electrically contacted to the second component.
  • An electrically contacted, mechanical spring can also be arranged on the sleeve, which engages through the sleeve of the sleeve in order to produce an electrical contact, in particular the grounding, between spring and pin when the pin is pushed into the sleeve. In this way, grounding is achieved before the actual electrical contacts touch each other.
  • the spring can, in the inserted state of the pin, also engage in a detent recess on the pin.
  • connection device for two electrical components.
  • an intermediate plate 7 is arranged with a recess. Both intermediate plate 7 and wall portion 3 are penetrated by a pin 1, preferably a metal pin, wherein the pin 1 has over the circumference of the same projecting collar 6, which is inserted into the recess of the intermediate plate.
  • the two electrical components To connect the two electrical components together, they are in the insertion direction "E", as indicated by the arrow, moved towards each other.
  • the tip 1a of the pin 1 is tapered, and the opening 2a of the sleeve 2 is provided with a conical enlargement.
  • the sleeve 2 preferably also an injection-molded plastic component, is arranged on a further wall section 4 of the second electrical component.
  • alignment devices 8, 8a are provided in the form of mutually corresponding projections and recesses on the intermediate plate 7 and the sleeve.
  • These alignment devices 8, 8a are either integrally formed on the intermediate plate 7 or sleeve 2, but can also be designed as releasable, replaceable further elements.
  • an opening e.g., a through bore
  • an opening is provided on each of the first 3 and second wall sections 4 to secure the intermediate plate 7 and the sleeve 2, respectively, by means of a nut 5 and a screw 10, respectively.
  • pins 12 are integrally formed on these same (2; 7), which in each case in an opening (11) in the wall sections 3, 4 on or pass through.
  • the pin 1 is detachably fixed on the back of the first wall portion 3, which faces away from the sleeve 2, with a nut 5 which can be screwed onto the pin 1.
  • a continuous circumferential cross-section reduction 9 is formed on the pin 1 for generating a locking projection, which can cooperate with a complementary shaped locking lug, not shown here, inside the sleeve 2 for releasably securing the two electrical components together.
  • a spring 13 is arranged, with which an electrical contact, in particular for grounding, between spring 13 and pin 1 can be produced. This makes it possible to ground the components to be connected together, before the actual electrical contacts are engaged.
