Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector with a terminal connection for making electrical contact with an electrical conductor.
  • terminal connections are known which are used, for example, in electrical plug connectors, such as are used for connection to socket-plug combinations.
  • Known clamp connections are comparatively large due to their construction. Therefore, they require a relatively large installation space in electrical connectors, which in turn has an adverse effect on the size of the electrical connector.
  • known terminal connections often consist of a large number of individual parts, so that there is a high outlay in terms of production and assembly.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrical connector with a terminal connection for electrical contacting an electrical conductor, which is simple and has a compact design. This object is achieved by a connector according to claim 1.
  • the electrical plug connector according to the invention has a clamp connection for making electrical contact with an electrical conductor, which has a base leg and a clamp leg connected to it, which can be moved from an open position into a contact position in the direction of the base leg, and a protrusion from the clamp leg in the direction of the base leg Clamping body for clamping contact of the electrical conductor arranged between the base leg and the clamping leg is identified when the terminal connection is closed.
  • the conductor to be contacted is inserted into the terminal connection between the terminal leg and the base leg.
  • the electrical conductor is then clamped between the clamping leg and the base leg, the clamping body pressing on the conductor ensuring reliable contact.
  • An essential point of the invention is that the clamp connection is particularly simple. This enables a very simple and economical production.
  • the conductor to be connected is almost encompassed in the contact position of the clamping leg and base leg, which enables a very compact design.
  • the clamp connection formed in this way can therefore also be used with very little space, so that extremely compact plug connectors can be produced.
  • the protruding clamp body also ensures very secure clamp contacting of the electrical conductor.
  • An embodiment of the invention is particularly advantageous, according to which a contact element is provided for receiving the conductor, said contact element being located between the legs of the terminal connection.
  • the connection area of the connector can thus not only be arranged directly on the base leg, but also on the contact element. Nevertheless, the very compact design is retained.
  • the clamping body is designed as a tab bent out of the clamping leg.
  • the tab can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part or by simply pressing or milling it out of the body of the clamping leg.
  • the clamping body can also be attached to the clamping leg by a rivet, weld or screw connection.
  • the clamping body pressing the electrical conductor into the contact position on the contact element or the base leg is preferably resilient, which ensures better contacting.
  • the clamping body is designed as a spring tongue.
  • the clamping leg and the base leg are connected to one another via a swivel connection, which is preferably produced by a hinge joint.
  • a hinge joint is formed by a bearing lug that can be snapped into a bearing recess, simply cut the legs and connect them again.
  • the base leg preferably has a bearing lug on both sides and the clamping leg has a bearing recess on both sides, which enables captive and secure storage.
  • the clamping leg and the base leg can also be connected directly to one another in a springy manner, so that they form a clamping spring.
  • the two legs are preferably connected to one another in one piece, which leads to a further design simplification.
  • the clamping connection is kept closed in the contact position by fastening elements which are located on the clamping leg and on the base leg.
  • a snap connection between the clamping leg and the base leg is made in the contact position.
  • Such a locking connection consisting of locking lug and locking recess represents a very secure locking connection.
  • it has the advantage that it is both easy to close and easy to release.
  • the arrangement of two fastening elements on the two sides of the open end of the clamping leg and on both sides of the open end of the base leg is preferably provided.

  • the clamping leg and / or the base leg is preferably elastically deformed by actuating the handle. In this way, for example, a snap-in connection can be easily released.
  • two handles are preferably attached to the two sides of the open end of the base leg or of the clamping leg.
  • the base leg or the contact element preferably have a conductor bed in which the electrical conductor to be contacted is received.
  • the security of the contact to be established between the electrical conductor and the base leg or contact Clock element is improved because the clamping body presses the electrical conductor precisely into the conductor bed in the contact position.
  • the clamping leg has side walls.
  • the clamping connection has an insertion opening. This is used to easily insert the electrical conductor into the terminal connection.
  • the insertion opening is preferably located in a transition area between the clamping leg and the base leg, which enables a low design of the clamping connection.

  • the connection area is preferably located at the end of the terminal connection opposite the insertion opening.

  • connection area is designed as a plug contact. In both cases it is an advantage that it is possible to connect plugs or sockets directly to the terminal connection if the design is very simple.
  • connection area has a receptacle for introducing a connection contact.
  • the connection contact can be both a socket contact and a plug contact. This enables the connection and any exchange of different contacts to the terminal connection without the need for additional spacers or adapters.
  • a plurality of terminal connections according to the invention are connected to one another in the connector.
  • This enables a very simple connection of several conductors.
  • the interconnected base legs preferably share a connection area, so that several electrical conductors can easily be combined to form a connection.

  • the insulating housing is not shown in either figure for the sake of clarity. Pre-positioning of the clamping leg 102 and the base leg 103 is achieved by suitable shaping of the insulating material housing.
  • the very compact and space-saving design enables electrical connectors to be produced, which can be installed in a three-pole or multi-pole version for 220 V / 20 A in an existing installation space of 20.7 mm in diameter.
  • the described terminal connection 1, 101 can be used not only in plug connectors, but universally in any connection devices for contacting electrical conductors.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur électrique enfichable comportant une borne de serrage (1, 101) qui sert à établir un contact avec un conducteur électrique (25, 125). L'objectif de l'invention est de simplifier la conception de ce connecteur et de réaliser ce dernier de manière compacte. A cet effet, ledit connecteur enfichable comportant une borne de serrage servant à établir un contact avec un conducteur électrique se caractérise par un membre de base et un membre de serrage qui est raccordé à ce dernier et qui peut se déplacer en direction du membre de base pour passer d'une position d'ouverture à une position de contact. Ce connecteur se caractérise en outre par un corps de serrage faisant saillie par rapport au membre de serrage en direction du membre de base et servant à établir un contact, par serrage, du conducteur placé entre le membre de base et le membre de serrage, lors de la fermeture de la borne de serrage.
