Stand der TechnikState of the art

Steckverbinder der vorstehenden Art sind vielfach bekannt. Diese Steckverbinder bestehen in der Regel aus zwei Bauteilen, nämlich einem Kontaktinnenteil und einem Federelement, wobei das Federelement als sogenannte Überfeder ausgebildet ist, die das Kontaktinnenteil zumindest teilweise umschließt. Zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Steckverbindung wird der elektrische Steckverbinder auf ein sogenanntes Messer aufgesteckt, wobei das Kontaktinnenteil mit dem Messer in Kontakt tritt. Das Kontaktinnenteil selbst ist in mehrere Bereiche aufgeteilt, nämlich ein Befestigungsteil, an dem ein abisoliertes Ende einer elektrischen Steckverbindung vorzugsweise angecrimpt wird. Ferner weist das Kontaktinnenteil einen Mittelabschnitt auf, der vorzugsweise taillenartig ausgebildet ist, an dessen Taille ein Befestigungselement vorgesehen ist, das zum Fixieren des Kontaktinnenteils ausgebildet ist und einen Kontaktabschnitt mit einem Kontaktteil, das einen elektrischen Kontakt mit dem gegenüberliegenden Messer herstellt.Connectors of the above type are widely known. These connectors are usually made of two components, namely a contact inner part and a spring element, wherein the spring element is designed as a so-called over-spring, which is the inner contact part at least partially encloses. To produce an electrical plug-in connection, the electrical plug-in connector is plugged onto a so-called knife, with the inner contact part coming into contact with the knife. The inner contact part itself is divided into several areas, namely a fastening part, to which a stripped end of an electrical connector is preferably crimped. Further, the inner contact part has a central portion, which is preferably formed like a waist, at the waist of a fastener is provided, which is designed for fixing the inner contact part and a contact portion with a contact part, which makes electrical contact with the opposite knife.

Die Kontaktteile sind in der Regel als Kontaktlamellen ausgebildet. Ein Kontaktinnenteil weist zwei oder mehr gegenüberliegende Lamellen auf, die in einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind, der kleiner als die Dicke des Messers ist. Durch das Einführen des Messers werden die Kontaktlamellen zum Auffedern gezwungen. Dadurch tritt eine entsprechende Verformung ein, die eine definierte Normalkraft an den Kontaktlamellen und dem Messer herbeigeführten Kontaktpunkt erzielt.The contact parts are usually designed as contact blades. A contact inner part has two or more opposing fins which are arranged at a distance which is smaller than the thickness of the knife. By inserting the knife, the contact blades are forced to spring. As a result, a corresponding deformation occurs, which achieves a defined normal force at the contact blades and the blade brought about contact point.

Es sind auch unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen der Ausgestaltung der Kontaktlamellen bekannt. Zum einen ist vorgesehen, Kontaktlamellen freiliegend auszubilden, so dass diese frei beim Aufstecken auf ein Messer auffedern können. Eine andere Ausführungsform zeigt einen Bügel, der die Kontaktlamellen umklammert, wobei der Bügel sich auf der Überfeder abstützt. Ferner ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel bekannt, bei dem die Kontaktlamellen an der Überfeder angeschweißt sind.There are also different embodiments of the configuration of the contact blades known. On the one hand, it is provided to form contact lamellae exposed, so that they can spring open when plugged onto a knife. Another embodiment shows a bracket which clasps the contact blades, wherein the bracket is supported on the over-spring. Furthermore, an embodiment is known in which the contact blades are welded to the over-spring.

Durch die US-A-5 685 746 ist ein elektrischer Steckverbinder bekannt, der als Buchsenkontakt aus einem Kontaktinnenteil und einer Überfeder besteht, die das Kontaktinnenteil teilweise umschließt. Das Kontaktinnenteil besteht aus einem Befestigungsabschnitt für eine elektrische Leitung, aus einem Mittelabschnitt und an seinem freien Ende aus einem Kontaktabschnitt, der mehrere Kontaktlamellen aufweist, die einseitig an dem Mittelabschnitt verankert sind.By the US-A-5 685 746 an electrical connector is known which consists as a socket contact of a contact inner part and an over-spring which surrounds the contact inner part partially. The contact inner part consists of an attachment portion for an electrical line, from a central portion and at its free end of a contact portion having a plurality of contact blades which are anchored on one side to the central portion.

Die freien Enden der Kontaktlamellen, die bogenförmig nach außen aufgebogen sind, um die Einführung von sogenannten Messern eines Gegensteckverbinder zu erleichtern, liegen mit einer Vorspannung innenseitig an der Überfeder an.The free ends of the contact blades, which are bent in an arc outward to facilitate the introduction of so-called knives of a mating connector, lie with a bias on the inside of the over-spring.

Mit dem Einführen des jeweiligen Messers in die zugeordneten Kontaktlamellen werden diese bei ständiger Abstützung an der Überfeder in sich verformt. Daraus ergibt sich schon zu Beginn des Aufsteckens des Steckverbinders auf den Gegensteckverbinder eine relativ große Steckkraft, die bei dem Fügevorgang die Unsicherheit hervorruft, ob die Überwindung dieser großen Steckkraft möglicherweise durch eine nicht zielgenaue Positionierung von dem Steckverbinder zu dem Gegensteckverbinder vorliegt. Dies erschwert in nachteiliger Weise die Fertigungssicherheit.With the introduction of the respective knife in the associated contact blades they are deformed in constant support to the over-spring in itself. This results in the beginning of plugging the connector on the mating connector, a relatively large insertion force that causes the uncertainty in the joining process, whether the overcoming of this large insertion force may be due to an inaccurate positioning of the connector to the mating connector. This disadvantageously complicates the manufacturing security.

Die Nachteile des Stands der Technik sind durch einen Steckverbinder nach Anspruch 1 vermieden.The disadvantages of the prior art are avoided by a connector according to claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Steckverbinders ist die Steckkraft durch die anfangs noch außchnabelunpfähigen freien Enden der Kontaktlamellen gering, so dass die richtige Positionierung des Steckverbinders auf dem Gegensteckverbinder erkannt werden kann.Due to the inventive design of the connector, the insertion force is low by the initially still auspeakunpfähigen free ends of the contact blades, so that the correct positioning of the connector can be detected on the mating connector.

Erst im weiteren Verlauf des Aufsteckens kommen die freien Enden der Kontaktlamellen an der Überfeder zur Anlage und es ergibt sich eine deutlich vergrößerte Steckkraft, die dann jedoch ohne Zweifel an der Positionierung des Steckverbinders auf dem Gegensteckverbinder überwunden werden kann. Dadurch ist eine hohe Fertigungssicherheit bei geringen Fertigungskosten erzielt.Only in the further course of Aufsteckens the free ends of the contact blades come to the over-spring to the plant and there is a significantly increased insertion force, which can then be overcome without doubt in the positioning of the connector on the mating connector. As a result, high production reliability is achieved with low production costs.

Beschreibung eines AusführungsbeispielesDescription of an embodiment

In Fig. 1 ist ein elektrischer Steckverbinder 1 dargestellt, der im wesentlichen aus zwei Bauteilen besteht, nämlich einem Kontaktinnenteil 2 und einer Überfeder 3, wobei die Überfeder 3 zumindest teilweise einen Teil des Kontaktinnenteils 2 umschließt.In Fig. 1, an electrical connector 1 is shown, which consists essentially of two components, namely a contact inner part 2 and an over-spring 3, wherein the over-spring 3 at least partially surrounds a part of the inner contact part 2.

Das Kontaktinnenteil 2 teilt sich in vorzugsweise drei Bereiche auf, nämlich einen ersten Bereich in Form eines Befestigungsteils 4, einem Mittelabschnitt 5 und einem Kontaktabschnitt 6. Im Bereich des Kontaktabschnitts 6 erstreckt sich vorzugsweise auch die Überfeder 3.The contact inner part 2 is divided into preferably three areas, namely a first area in the form of a fastening part 4, a middle section 5 and a contact section 6. In the area of the contact section 6, the over-spring 3 preferably also extends.

Der Kontaktabschnitt 6 weist erfindungsgemäß drei oder mehr Kontaktlamellen 7 auf. Bei dem in Figur 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind vier Kontaktlamellen vorgesehen, die sich von dem Mittelabschnitt 5 frei weg erstrecken und zwischen den einzelnen Kontaktlamellen 7 ist jeweils ein Freiraum 8 vorgesehen. Die Kontaktlamellen 7 weisen einen Kontaktbereich 9 auf, der dazu dient, mit einem in den Zeichnungen nicht näher dargestellten Messer eine elektrische Verbindung einzugehen. Der Kontaktbereich 9 der jeweiligen Kontaktlamellen 7 ist derart gestaltet, dass zwischen dem hier nicht dargestellten Messer und der jeweiligen Kontaktlamelle 7 ein Kontaktpunkt 10 entsteht.According to the invention, the contact section 6 has three or more contact blades 7. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, four contact blades are provided which differ from The middle section 5 extend freely away and between the individual contact blades 7 each have a free space 8 is provided. The contact blades 7 have a contact region 9, which serves to enter into an electrical connection with a knife not shown in the drawings. The contact region 9 of the respective contact blades 7 is designed such that a contact point 10 is formed between the blade, not shown here, and the respective contact blade 7.

Im montierten Zustand ist die Überfeder 3 im Kontaktabschnitt 6 derart angeordnet, dass diese im Bereich des Mittelabschnitts 5 über Fixierelemente 11 gehalten wird. Die räumliche Abmessung der Überfeder 3 ist derart ausgestaltet, dass sich im nicht montierten Zustand die Kontaktlamellen 7 innerhalb der Überfeder 3 frei bewegen können.In the assembled state, the over-spring 3 is arranged in the contact portion 6 such that it is held in the region of the central portion 5 via fixing elements 11. The spatial dimension of the over-spring 3 is designed such that in the unassembled state, the contact blades 7 can move freely within the over-spring 3.

Der Einsteckvorgang des erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinders 1 gestaltet sich wie folgt:The insertion process of the electrical connector 1 according to the invention is as follows:

Bei der Einführung eines Messers in den elektrischen Steckverbinder 1 weiten sich die Kontaktlamellen 7 derart auf, maximal bis zu der Position, bis zu der sie sich an der Innenseite der Überfeder 3 anlegen. Beim schrägen Aufstecken des elektrischen Steckverbinders 1 auf ein Messer ist es möglich, dass einzelne Kontaktlamellen 7 ausweichen, so dass eine weite Öffnung zur Aufnahme des Messers erzeugt wird. Aufgrund des Anliegens der Kontaktlamellen 7 an der Überfeder 3 müssen bei weiterem Aufweiten des Kontaktlamellenabstands die freien Enden der Kontaktlamellen 7 in Richtung Eintrittsöffnung für das Messer unter Verformung der Kontaktlamellen 7 ausweichen, was nur mit erhöhtem Kraftaufwand möglich ist, bevor sie auf die Begrenzungselemente der Eintrittsoffnung der Überfeder 3 auflaufen, die jede weitere Verformung abstoppen. Diese Konstruktion hat zur Folge, dass die Steckkraft sprunghaft ansteigt.When a knife is inserted into the electrical connector 1, the contact blades 7 widen in such a way, at most up to the position up to which they rest against the inside of the over-spring 3. When obliquely plugging the electrical connector 1 on a knife, it is possible that individual contact blades 7 dodge, so that a wide opening for receiving the blade is generated. Due to the concern of the contact blades 7 on the overspring 3 further expansion of the contact blade spacing, the free ends of the contact blades 7 in the direction of the inlet opening for the knife to deform under deformation of the contact blades 7, which is possible only with increased effort, before it on the boundary elements of the inlet opening accumulate the over-spring 3, which stop any further deformation. This construction has the consequence that the insertion force increases suddenly.
