Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug with a housing having at least one plug pin or a socket and an electrically conductive connected to the plug pin or socket, the resilient sliding contact projecting beyond the housing with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such connectors with sliding contacts are known from US-A-4 792 307 and are usually used on machine parts in which electrical signals must be transmitted from stationary components to moving components.
  • the sliding contact consists of a material with good electrical conductivity and is fixed in the housing of the plug.
  • connector pins or sockets are provided which are electrically connected to the sliding contact. This can be, for example, a welded connection, soldered connection, crimping or the like. Since this electrical connection is located in the connector housing, the connector housing be made large accordingly, so that this connection can be made, or the connector housing must be divided, so that the manufacture of the electrical connection, eg after the soldering or welding process, the housing can be closed.
  • Such connectors are technically relatively complex and therefore expensive. In addition, the assembly of the connector can be automated only partially.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a connector, the pin is also the plug pin or the socket and the plug can be mounted automatically.
  • the sliding contact is thereby fixed in the housing, that the free end of the sliding contact is penetrated transversely to the insertion direction of a pin, wherein the pin serves as a holding element and rests in a receiving opening of the free end of the sliding contact.
  • the pin is at the same time the plug pin or the socket.
  • the retaining element is latched or clamped on the housing. This prevents that the holding element automatically changes its position after insertion. By locking or jamming of the retaining element in the housing a secure fixation of the sliding contact is ensured in the housing.
  • the pin of the retaining element can be clamped or locked at the free end. This means that the holding element and the Sliding contact positively and / or non-positively connected to each other and thereby fix each other in the housing.
  • the receiving opening retaining elements on the type of barbs for the pin can thus be inserted relatively easily and without much effort into the free end of the sliding contact, whereas pulling out by the barbs that dig into the pin is prevented.
  • the retaining elements are formed by fingers, which are bent out of the plane of the free end in the insertion direction of the pin. These fingers grind along the surface when inserting the pin and dig into the surface when the pin is pulled out against the direction of insertion.
  • a secure fixing of the retaining element in the housing takes place in that the retaining element is guided over a housing channel in the insertion direction and thereby held. Pulling out of the housing channel is prevented because the retaining element is additionally fixed at the free end of the sliding contact.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a generally designated 10 connector according to the invention.
  • This plug is constructed from a housing 12, a sliding contact 14 and a holding element 16.
  • the housing 12 is made of plastic, whereas the sliding contact 14 and the holding member 16 made of metal, and the sliding contact 14 in particular made of a copper alloy.
  • the housing 12 is provided with a receptacle 18 (FIG. 2) into which the free end 20 of the sliding contact 14 can be inserted via a first housing opening 22.
  • a middle section 24 connects at a right angle and at this the contact arm 26 of the sliding contact 14 at.
  • These receiving openings 54 are slit-like and each have two serving as retaining elements 56 fingers 58.
  • These fingers 58 are bent in the direction of insertion 60 of the support member 16 from the plane of the free end 20 so that they, as shown in Fig. 2, in the Housing 12 inserted retaining member 16 abut the outside of the thickening 48. This prevents the holding element 16 from being pulled out of the housing 12, since the free ends of the fingers 58, which are spaced apart from one another and which are smaller than the width of the thickening 48, bear against the thickening 48 and have a clamping action on the thickening 48 exercise.
  • the holding element 16 is fixed at the free end 20 of the sliding contact 14, whereby both the Retaining element 16 and the sliding contact 14 are fixed in the housing 12.
  • the pins 46 which rest in the housing wall 52, form the plug pins of the plug 10.
  • the clamping connection between the sliding contact 14 and the holding element 16 is not only a mechanical but also an electrical connection between these two elements. Thus, there is no need for a welded joint or solder joint, and the assembly or assembly of the plug 10 can be automated.
