Definitions
- the invention describes a spring clip for clamping onto a surge arrester. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement of the surge arrester with the spring clip. The invention also relates to a method for producing the arrangement.
- surge arresters of the type mentioned at the outset are known, in which a shorting bar is provided which is fastened to the central electrode of the surge arrester. A fusible element and a varistor are clamped between a spring arm of the shorting bar and a respective outer electrode of the surge arrester. After the overvoltage arrester, the spring, the fusible element and the varistor have been assembled, the overvoltage arrester is fed to the corresponding application and, for this purpose, soldered into a circuit board, for example.
- the fusible element serves as a fuse to protect the surge arrester from overheating in the event of a fault.
- the known surge arrester has the disadvantage that overheating of the surge arrester and thus the occurrence of fire can be effectively prevented by the fuse, but there is a risk that the thermal energy required for melting the fuse will be sufficient to dissolve the solder on the conductor the circuit board keeps melting and thus unsoldering the conductor.
- a spring clip which has a clamping device.
- the spring clip can be clamped onto a surge arrester by means of the clamping device.
- the spring clip has at least one spring arm.
- the spring clip has a thermal protection device which is attached to the inside of the spring arm.
- the protective device also contains a fusible element.
- the spring clip including the protective device can only be fitted after the surge arrester has been soldered onto the printed circuit board.
- the assembly can be carried out from one side of the surge arrester, for example on the side of the surge arrester facing away from the printed circuit board. Since, therefore, the surge arrester is already soldered at the time of assembly and, consequently, the melting of the solder for the surge arrester no longer occurs, temperatures can be used for the fusible element in particular low-melting materials. The risk of unsoldering the surge arrester, which is provided with the spring clip, is thereby reduced.
- a fusible element whose melting temperature is less than 210 ° C.
- Such a fusible element has the advantage that its melting temperature is lower than the temperature between 210 and 280 ° C. usually used in wave soldering and reflow soldering. This ensures a high level of safety for triggering the thermal protection device even at relatively low temperatures.
- the thermal protection device can also contain an insulating element which is an insulator when the surge arrester is operating. Together with the spring arm and the fusible element, it forms an electrical series connection.
- the insulating element ensures that in normal operation no electrical current can flow between two electrodes of the surge arrester via the spring clip, as a result of which the spring clip or spring arm is electrically ineffective in normal operation.
- the spring arm can also be provided with a contact element which extends inwards from the spring arm and whose length is greater than the thickness of the insulating element.
- a gripping element for gripping the spring arm can be arranged on a spring arm.
- two spring arms lying opposite one another are arranged on a spring base and that two spring legs lying opposite one another are arranged on the spring base between the spring arms for clamping the spring clip onto a surge arrester.
- the spring clip can be clamped on the center electrode of a three-electrode arrester in a simple manner, whereby the required electrical contact between the spring arms and the center electrode of the surge arrester can be achieved at the same time.
- the protective device can be fastened to the spring arm by means of a fastening element.
- the protective device itself can be provided as a separate preassembled module that can be attached to the spring clip simply and without great effort using a special fastening element.
- the protective device can be connected to the spring arm by soldering, gluing or also by riveting.
- An electrically conductive adhesive is particularly suitable for the adhesive.
- soldering it is contemplated to use a soft solder whose melting temperature is lower than the melting temperature of the fusible element. This has the advantage that when the protective device is soldered to the spring clip, the fusible element no longer melts and thus maintains its external shape.
- the melting temperature of such a soft solder can be, for example, 130 ° C.
- the melting temperature of the fusible element is preferably approximately 200 ° C.
- the insulating element can be connected to the fusible element by soldering.
- a solder is preferably used, the melting temperature of which is lower than the melting temperature of the fusible element.
- the insulating element can, for example, be a molded plastic part.
