Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical flat conductor ribbon cable, according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • FL-BL Flat conductor ribbon cables - hereinafter referred to as "FL-BL" - are because of their flat design used with advantage in wiring technology. You serve for example as connecting lines for printed circuits, for wiring in electrical devices and in motor vehicles.
  • One advantage of the FL-BL is that immovable, defined arrangement of their ladder. Via FL-BL signals and currents are also transmitted. The level of the transmissible currents is determined by the conductive cross section of the conductor is determined. If the FL-BL for higher currents the cross section of the conductors must be increased. Leading either to wider FL-BL if using wider conductors to maintain their flexibility sufficient distance from each other, or less well bendable FL-BL, if to obtain a given width of the same thicker conductor be used.
  • the individual conductors are in several Divided sub-conductors that lie on top of or next to each other. This is supposed to be a increased security of the FL-BL can be achieved, which will still be functional if a conductor is broken due to a material defect. This lack is said to be here be limited to a partial conductor.
  • the other sub-leaders of the respective leaders should then keep the current flowing.
  • the leaders of this well-known FL-BL must be oversized accordingly, because in extreme cases a single sub-conductor full, to be transmitted current.
  • GB 2 356 970 A from which the invention is based, also shows an FL-BL a large number of flat, electrical conductors, which are roughly rectangular Have cross-section and parallel to each other in a common shell Insulation material are embedded.
  • the flat conductors are made up of two or more partial conductors, which with their Flat sides lie against each other. The conductors of the FL-BL stripped at the ends and soldered to a connector.
  • the invention has for its object to the FL-BL described above shape that they can be used with good flexibility for higher currents and on is easy to contact for making an electrical connection.
  • the main advantage of this FL-BL is the design of a plug-in element at least one of its ends. Your leaders can easily do this without a separate Contact elements are connected. Only the sub-leaders of am End of the FL-BL stripped conductor bent back in the same direction and up to Attachment to the insulating material of the case to be brought. It becomes useful at least one partial conductor on one side and at least one partial conductor on the other Side of the FL-BL bent back to its casing.
  • the end of the FL-BL is with the external partial conductors and the FL-BL itself between them mechanically so stable that it can be used as a plug-in element without additional contact elements is usable.
  • the leaders themselves or their sub-leaders have the function of Plug pins.
  • the partial conductors can, for example, be glued in place be fixed. In principle, however, this is not necessary if in one on the At the end of the FL-BL mating connector to be plugged in there are guides Prevent lateral deflection of the partial conductors.
  • the described design of at least one line end as Plug element is appropriately an even number of sub-conductors per conductor of FL-BL uses half of which after bending back on one side and the other half is on the other side of the FL-BL.
  • the use of four partial conductors has been found, one of which is in the plug-in element two each lie on one side of the FL-BL.
  • the FL-BL can also be an odd number Have number of sub-conductors.
  • each conductor of this FL-BL is divided into at least two sub-conductors, the same can To ensure good flexibility, the FL-BL should be made thin.
  • the Construction of the ladder from partial conductors also gives the FL-BL an improved one Vibration resistance.
  • For the number of partial conductors per conductor and compliance with the Its flexibility is only and exclusively the electrically conductive cross section of the individual sub-leader and the relevant leader. It can be done this way an adaptation of the conductive cross section of the conductors to the desired, in particular to increased currents can be made without the flexibility of the FL-BL is significantly influenced. This applies, for example, to conductors of constant width thus guarantee an unchanged overall width of the FL-BL.
  • Fig. 1 is the end of a two electrical conductors 1 and 2 FL-BL shown schematically, the head 1 and 2 of the end of a predetermined length are stripped.
  • the two conductors 1 and 2 are flat conductors with a rectangular one Cross section formed. They are preferably made of copper and are in one common sleeve 3 made of insulating material so embedded that they remain the same Distance, run parallel to each other over the entire length of the FL-BL. Heads 1 and 2 can also be made of aluminum or another material that is a good electrical conductor consist.
  • the sleeve 3 made of insulating material is preferably produced by means of an extruder to which the Conductors 1 and 2 are continuously fed in parallel to each other.
  • a shell 3 can but also serve two tapes of insulating material, which in the continuous flow of brought both sides to the conductors 1 and 2 and with each other and with the Ladders are glued.
  • Suitable insulating materials are, for example, polyvinyl chloride, Polyethylene and polyurethane.
  • the FL-BL shown in the drawings has two conductors 1 and 2. It can also do more as two conductors, for example eight.
  • Each of the flat conductors 1 and 2 consists of illustrated embodiment from two flat partial conductors T1 and T2. Heads 1 and 2 and the partial conductors T1 and T2 can have an exactly rectangular cross section. she but can also have rounded side edges.
  • the sub-conductors T1 and T2 each Conductor 1 or 2 can have the same but different widths. So can 3 with three partial conductors T1, T2 and T3, for example, the middle one Partial conductor T3 be wider than the two outer partial conductors T1 and T2. All In the finished conductor 1 or 2, partial conductors lie directly against one another with their flat sides.
  • Such a conductor consisting of partial conductors is more flexible than a single layer Conductor with the same cross section. Heads 1 and 2 can therefore be used for a higher one Current load with constant width with a corresponding number of Partial conductors are made thicker. However, narrower conductors 1 and 2 can also be used can be used, which consist of a larger number of partial conductors. As It has turned out to be particularly favorable if each conductor 1 or 2 consists of at least four sub-ladders. An even number of partial conductors is for a symmetrical one Distribution in the contact to the electrical Connect further makes sense. But there can also be an odd number of sub-conductors per conductor be used.
  • the FL-BL is itself a plug-in element on at least one end educated.
  • the conductors 1 and 2 are first of a predetermined length from Insulated material of the shell 3 freed, as shown for example in Fig. 1.
  • the two partial conductors T1 and T2 are then bent back until they rest against the sheath 3.
  • the one partial conductor T1 lies on one side and the other partial conductor T2 on the other side of the FL-BL to its shell 3.
  • An appropriately designed cable end is shown schematically in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7.
  • the plug element at the end of the FL-BL is due to the combination of the partial conductors T1 and T2 as well as the FL-BL itself, which is very stable between them.
  • separate Contact elements are no longer required, but conductors 1 and 2 or their Subconductors T1 and T2 themselves take on the function of connector pins.
  • the end of the FL-BL with the finished plug-in element can directly into one of FIGS. 5 and 6 apparent mating connector G to be inserted, the corresponding Socket contacts is equipped.
  • To ensure the good stability of the plug element it makes sense to use, for example, four partial conductors per conductor, two of which are each lie bent back on one side of the FL-BL.
  • the partial conductors T1 and T2 are stable in their bent-back position.
  • the one on the shell 3 adjacent sub-conductors can - if desired - for example with an adhesive can also be fixed.
  • a lateral migration of the partial conductors T1 and T2 at Then plugging in with the mating connector G does not occur even without a separate fixation on when the mating connector G is in its slot protruding guides 4 is equipped, each in the finished connector lie between the partial conductors.
