Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug receiving part of an electrical connector, in particular for audio applications, with a central receiving space, which is bounded by an intermediate wall with an inside and an outside, and an intermediate wall surrounding the annular receiving space, both receiving spaces have insertion and both at Inside as well as on the outside of the intermediate wall plug contacts are arranged, which have a metallic strip-shaped body having a mounting portion and a protruding from the mounting portion free arm with a contact portion at its free end and a lying between the contact region and the mounting portion resilient region.
  • the invention relates to an electrical connector consisting of two connectors, one of which is designed as a plug receiving part and the other as a plug-in part, wherein in the connectors contacts are arranged.
  • Plug receiving parts of the type mentioned are usually used for audio applications, in particular as a speaker plug, sometimes as a plug for the power supply of electrical equipment.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a plug receiving part of the type mentioned, in which an electrical connector is made possible with an extremely low contact resistance.
  • the goal was a contact resistance of 2 to 3 milliohms. This goal should be achieved without a riveted on the plug contact part of particularly good conductive material.
  • the curvature guarantees a good contact angle in all directions when contacting.
  • the plug-in connection consists in the usual way of a plug receiving part 1 and a male part 2.
  • the male part 2 is inserted into the plug receiving part 1 and in this lockable by a quick release coupling, for example in the manner of a bayonet lock.
  • the plug receiving part 1 has a central receiving space which is delimited by an intermediate wall 13 with an inner side and an outer side, and an annular receiving space surrounding the intermediate wall 13, wherein both receiving spaces have insertion openings 15. Both on the inside and on the outside of the intermediate wall 13 plug contacts 3 are arranged, which serve for contacting mating contacts 4 in the male part 2.
  • the mating contacts 4 may be cylindrical in a conventional manner, as is apparent from FIGS. 2, 4 and 5.
  • the mating contacts 4 are arranged on a central pin 5 and on a wall 6 of the male part 2. The central pin 5 and the wall 6 can be inserted through the insertion openings 15 in the central receiving space and the annular receiving space of the connector receiving part 1.
  • four elastic plug contacts 3 are arranged in the connector receiving part 1, which are located on the intermediate wall 13 and are arranged in a cross shape.
  • the plug contacts 3 are fastened in the vicinity of the bottom 14 on the intermediate wall 13 and their free ends with the contact areas 9 point towards the insertion openings 15 of the plug receiving part 1.
  • the plug contacts 3 have a fastening region 7, from which a free arm protrudes, which forms a resilient region 8 (which begins approximately at the location of the section DD drawn in FIG. 10) and in the region of the tip of which the contact region 9 is formed.
  • the free arm of the male contact 3 is spoon-shaped, wherein the spoon-like trough extends over the contact region 9 and over at least a part, preferably a major part, of the resilient region 8.
  • the contact area 9 outgoing buckle 10 and on the opposite side a corresponding recess 11, which is delimited by an edge 12 of the plug contact 3, which is arranged laterally on the plug contact in the attachment area 7 and in the region of the curvature 10th or trough 11 is inclined relative to the main plane of the plug contact in the attachment areas 7 and points to the side of the plug contact 3, on which the trough 11 is arranged.
  • the buckle 10 and the trough 11 extend far into the resilient region 8 of the plug contact 3, wherein they in the height or depth of a maximum value in or in the vicinity of the contact region 9 towards the attachment region 7 and over or in the same steadily leak (see in particular Figs. 11 and 12). Seen in cross-section (FIGS. 13 and 14), the resilient region 8 is curved over the extent of the trough or curvature.
