Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Kontaktelement, insbesondere ein als Stiftkontakt oder Buchsenkontakt ausgebildetes Kontaktelement mit einem Steckbereich und einem Anschlussende zum Anschluss eines elektrischen Leiters.The invention relates to an electrical contact element, in particular as Pin contact or socket contact trained contact element with a Plug-in area and a connection end for connecting an electrical Conductor.

Ein derartiges Kontaktelement, das in der Regel von einem isolierenden Gehäuse umgeben ist, wird benötigt, um eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen einem elektrischen Leiter und einem Anschlussende eines elektrischen Stiftkontaktes oder eines Buchsenkontaktes herzustellen, wobei jedoch keinerlei spezielles Werkzeug erforderlich ist.Such a contact element, which is usually of an insulating housing is surrounded, is required to make an electrical connection between an electrical conductor and a terminal end of an electrical pin contact or a socket contact, but no special tool is required.

Zum Anschluss elektrischer Leiter an ein Kontaktelement sind eine Reihe von Anschlussprinzipien in der Technik bekannt, wie mittels Löten, über Schraubanschlüsse, durch Käfigzugfederanschluss oder auch durch Crimpanschlüsse.To connect electrical conductors to a contact element are a number from connection principles known in the art, such as by soldering Screw connections, by cage clamp connection or by crimp connections.

Aus der DE 199 14 308 A1 ist eine elektrische Anschlussbaueinheit mit einem Gehäuse bekannt, bei der mindestens ein Anschluß für einen isolierten Leiter oder einen abisolierten Leiter mit mindestens einem Schneidelement und mindestens einem Federelement vorgesehen ist.From DE 199 14 308 A1 is an electrical terminal assembly with a Housing known in which at least one terminal for an isolated Conductor or a stripped conductor with at least one cutting element and at least one spring element is provided.

Nachteilig wirkt sich dabei aus, dass verschiedene Anschlussprinzipien, wie z. B. das Löten in der industriellen Verbindungstechnik stetig auf Grund des Aufwandes zurückgedrängt wird, dass Schraubanschlüsse wie auch Käfigzugfederanschlüsse einen relativ großen Raumbedarf haben, und Crimpanschlüsse jeweils spezielles Werkzeug erfordern. The disadvantage is that different connection principles, such as z. B. soldering in industrial connection technology steadily due to the Effort is pushed back that screw connections as well as cage tension spring connections have a relatively large space requirement, and crimp connections each require special tools.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kontaktelement der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, dass mindestens ein bereits im Einsatz befindliches Kontaktelement mit einem Crimp- oder Schraubanschluss problemlos gegen das erfindungsgemäße Kontaktelement ersetzt oder ausgetauscht werden kann, wobei mit dieser Verbindungstechnik mindestens vergleichbare Kontaktierungsdaten, wie Übergangswiderstände und gasdichte Verbindungspunkte zwischen einem elektrischen Leiter und einem Kontaktelement erreicht werden wie bei einem Crimpanschluss, ohne jedoch das spezielle Werkzeug beispielsweise einer Crimpzange zu benötigen.The invention is therefore based on the object, a contact element of form the aforementioned type such that at least one already in use contact element with a crimp or Screw connection easily against the contact element according to the invention replaced or replaced, with this connection technology at least comparable contacting data, such as contact resistance and gas-tight connection points between an electrical Head and a contact element can be achieved as in a crimp connection, but without the special tool such as a crimping tool to need.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass auf das Anschlussende eine Hülse aufbringbar ist, dass die Hülse aus ihrer Wandung herausgestanzte, in den Hülseninnenraum gerichtete Federarme aufweist, und dass die Federarme in eine Bohrung im Anschlussende des Kontaktelementes eintauchen.This object is achieved in that a sleeve on the terminal end Applicable is that the sleeve is punched out of its wall, in the Has sleeve interior directed spring arms, and that the spring arms in immerse a hole in the terminal end of the contact element.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 - 5 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the claims 2-5 specified.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß derartige als Stift- oder Buchsenkontakt ausgebildete Kontaktelemente mit ihren äußeren Konturen an bereits bestehende und im Einsatz befindliche Steckverbindersysteme angepasst sind und somit ältere Versionen, die mit einem Crimp-, Schraub- oder Lötanschluß versehen sind, problemlos ausgetauscht werden können, wobei keinerlei spezielles Werkzeug benötigt wird. Darüber hinaus werden mit dieser Befestigungsart nahezu gleichartige Leiterauszugskräfte wie bei einem Schraubanschluss erzielt.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that such formed as a pin or socket contact contact elements their outer contours to existing and in use Connector systems are adapted and thus older versions with a crimp, screw or solder connection are provided, easily replaced can be, with no special tool is needed. In addition, with this type of fastening almost identical ladder pull-out forces as achieved with a screw connection.

Weiterhin ist von Vorteil, dass der Anschlussquerschnitt der elektrischen Leiter für das erfindungsgemäße Kontaktelement einen größeren Variationsbereich umfasst, als dies bei einem Crimpanschluss möglich ist; so sind insgesamt Querschnittsbereiche von 0,5 bis 2,5 mm2 anschließbar. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the connection cross section of the electrical conductors for the contact element according to the invention comprises a larger range of variation than is possible with a crimp connection; Thus, a total cross-sectional areas of 0.5 to 2.5 mm 2 can be connected.

Durch die Ausbildung eines Sägezahngewindes am Anschlussende des Kontaktelementes ist die auf den elektrischen Leiter ausgeübte Keilwirkung der Spitzen der Federarme vorteilhafterweise neben einer Drehbewegung wahlweise auch durch eine axial verrastende Wirkung der Hülse erzielbar. Durch die Keilwirkung der Federarmspitzen ist zudem eine vibrations- und auszugssichere Befestigungstechnik für den elektrischen Leiter realisiert.By forming a sawtooth thread at the connection end of Contact element is the wedge action applied to the electrical conductor the tips of the spring arms advantageously in addition to a rotational movement optionally also achievable by an axially latching effect of the sleeve. Due to the wedge effect of the spring arm tips is also a vibration and realized safe mounting technology for the electrical conductor.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine Schnittdarstellung eines kompletten Kontaktelementes mit einer aufgeschraubten Hülse, und
Fig. 2
eine perspektivische Darstellung der Hülse.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be explained in more detail below. Show it:
Fig. 1
a sectional view of a complete contact element with a screwed sleeve, and
Fig. 2
a perspective view of the sleeve.

In der Fig. 1 ist ein als Stiftkontakt ausgebildetes Kontaktelement 1 mit einer Hülse 7 und einem darin eingefügten elektrischen Leiter 15 gezeigt.
Das Kontaktelement wird aus einem stiftförmigen Steckbereich 2 mit einem sich daran anschließenden Anschlussende 3 gebildet, auf dem ein Sägezahngewinde 5 vorgesehen ist.
Weiterhin ist eine kegelförmige Bohrung 6 vorgesehen, in die zwei Federarme 8 eintauchen, die aus dem Mantel der Hülse 7 herausgeschnitten sind.
FIG. 1 shows a contact element 1 designed as a pin contact with a sleeve 7 and an electrical conductor 15 inserted therein.
The contact element is formed from a pin-shaped plug-in region 2 with an adjoining connection end 3, on which a sawtooth thread 5 is provided.
Furthermore, a conical bore 6 is provided, dip in the two spring arms 8, which are cut out of the jacket of the sleeve 7.

Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Hülse 7 weist in diesem Beispiel zwei Federarme 8 auf, die aus dem Mantel der Hülse geschnitten bzw. gestanzt sind und in das Hülseninnere weisen.
In Richtung der Federarme weisend, ist am Hülsenende ein Kragen 10 angeformt, dessen in den Innenraum der Hülse weisender Rand 11 entsprechend den Zahnflanken des Sägezahngewindes 5 geformt ist.
Weiterhin sind mehrere Schlitze 12 vorgesehen, die vom Kragen 10 ausgehend axial in den Mantel der Hülse hineinreichen.
The sleeve 7 shown in Fig. 2, in this example, two spring arms 8, which are cut or stamped from the jacket of the sleeve and point into the sleeve interior.
Pointing in the direction of the spring arms, a collar 10 is integrally formed on the sleeve end, whose edge 11 pointing into the interior of the sleeve is shaped corresponding to the tooth flanks of the sawtooth thread 5.
Furthermore, a plurality of slots 12 are provided, which extend from the collar 10, starting axially into the shell of the sleeve.

Bei der Montage des Kontaktelementes mit einem abisolierten, elektrischen Leiter 15 wird dieser zunächst in die Hülse 7 eingeführt und bis zum Anschlag in der Bohrung 6 im Anschlussende 3 eingeschoben.
Dabei gleitet der Leiter an den in den Hülseninnenraum gerichteten Federarmen 8 vorbei.
Anschließend werden durch eine axiale Verschiebung der Hülse, in Richtung des Steckbereiches 2 des Kontaktelementes, die bereits in der trichter- oder kegelförmigen Bohrung 6 des Anschlussbereiches befindlichen Federarme tiefer in die Bohrung eingeschoben, wobei der elektrische Leiter - je nach Krafteinwirkung zunehmend - zwischen den Federarmspitzen 9 verkeilt wird. Die Verschiebung der Hülse erfolgt dabei schnell und einfach durch eine axiale Schiebebewegung oder auch durch eine Drehbewegung der Hülse auf dem Sägezahngewinde 5 des Stiftkontaktes.
Dabei ist die Hülse mit mehreren Längsschlitzen 12 versehen, so dass Segmente entstehen, die auch ein "ratschenartiges" Übergleiten über die Gewindezahnflanken gewährleisten.
Durch eine dem Uhrzeigersinn entgegengesetzte Drehung der Hülse 7 auf dem Sägezahngewinde 5 ist ein Entfernen des elektrischen Leiters 15 aus dem Kontaktelement möglich.
When mounting the contact element with a stripped, electrical conductor 15, this is first inserted into the sleeve 7 and pushed to the stop in the bore 6 in the terminal end 3.
In this case, the conductor slides past the spring arms 8 directed into the sleeve interior.
Subsequently, by an axial displacement of the sleeve, in the direction of the plug-in portion 2 of the contact element, the already located in the funnel or conical bore 6 of the connection area spring arms inserted deeper into the bore, wherein the electrical conductor - depending on the force increasingly - between the Federarmspitzen 9 is wedged. The displacement of the sleeve takes place quickly and easily by an axial sliding movement or by a rotational movement of the sleeve on the sawtooth thread 5 of the pin contact.
The sleeve is provided with a plurality of longitudinal slots 12, so that segments are formed, which also ensure a "ratchet-like" sliding over the thread tooth flanks.
By a counterclockwise rotation of the sleeve 7 on the sawtooth thread 5, a removal of the electrical conductor 15 from the contact element is possible.
