Definitions

  • This invention concerns a flat cable with a piercing contact.
  • So-called flat cables such as FFCs (Flexible Flat Cables) are used as wiring in limited spaces, such as the interior of an automobile.
  • a flat cable normally has a plurality of belt like conductors aligned in parallel which are covered with an insulating sheath made of resin, etc., and since a plurality of belt-like conductors are gathered together as wiring, such a flat cable is suited for wiring applications in limited spaces. Also, since the surface area is large, flat cables provide such merits as being high in heat radiation and are thus high in performance as wiring.
  • a so-called piercing contact is used such that a piercing member provided by the contact is pierced through a belt-like conductor.
  • a piercing contact is convenient since an electrical connection with a flat cable is achieved by projecting the piercing member through the belt-like conductor and the electrical connection can thus be made readily.
  • piercing contacts equipped with a crimp member and a guide member as the piercing members, have been proposed as in the prior art described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 2003-142188 .
  • the crimp member and the guide member are positioned so as to oppose each other in the width direction of the contact, and electrical connection of the contact with a flat cable is achieved by piercing the crimp member and the guide member through the flat cable (belt-like conductor), pressing the crimp member, which has protruded from the flat cable, down towards the guide member, and the flat cable becoming pressed by the tip of the crimp member as it is guided by the inner surface of the guide member.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a piercing contact, with which secure attachment to a flat cable can be achieved and the reliability of electrical connection can be improved.
  • a piercing contact arrangement including a piercing contact (1) which is electrically connected to a flat cable (2), the flat cable including a belt-like conductor (21) of predetermined width and an insulating sheath covering the conductor, the arrangement comprising:
  • the electrical connection of the piercing contact with the flat cable is achieved by the piercing protrusion being pierced through the belt-like conductor, this piercing protrusion being bent towards the tip of the contacting protrusion and the tip parts of the piercing protrusions and the contacting protrusion opposing each other while clamping the belt-like conductor and being in mutual contact upon being pierced through the belt-like conductor.
  • the tip part of the piercing protrusion and the tip part of the contacting protrusion for example, oppose and contact each other along a substantially straight line.
  • the distance between the piercing protrusion and the contacting protrusion in the width direction of the contact can be minimized within a range in which the function of the piercing protrusion will not be lowered.
  • the piercing protrusion can thus be pierced through the belt-like conductor while enabling the contacting protrusion to be pierced through the insulating sheath of the flat cable and made to contact the belt-like conductor securely, so that the reliability of electrical connection can be improved.
  • a plurality of the piercing protrusions and a plurality of the contacting protrusions are aligned alternately in the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate part at one side edge and the other side edge of the bottom plate part, the piercing protrusions and the contacting protrusions are aligned so as to oppose each other in the width direction of the bottom plate part, and the piercing protrusions and the contacting protrusions are aligned in a staggered manner at the bottom plate part, respectively.
  • the piercing protrusions and the contacting protrusions can be distributed uniformly without bias towards one side edge of a belt-like conductor. Therefore, the strength of connection of the piercing contact to the flat cable can be improved.
  • a piercing contact arrangement can be use by a method including the steps of piercing the piercing protrusion through the flat cable so as to pierce it through the belt-like conductor; and bending (inflecting or curving) and pressing the piercing protrusion towards the tip of the contacting protrusion to make the tip part of the piercing protrusion and the tip part of the contacting protrusion contact each other upon piercing them through the belt-like conductor.
  • the tip part of the piercing protrusion and the tip part of the contacting protrusion of the piercing contact can, for example, be made to face each other along substantially a straight line.
  • the piercing protrusion can be bent without fail towards the tip of the contacting protrusion.
  • FIG. 1(a), FIG. 1(b), and FIG. 1(c) are drawings showing the arrangement of a piercing contact of an embodiment of the present invention, with FIG. 1(a) being a plan view, FIG. 1(b) being a side view along arrow A shown in FIG. 1(a), and FIG. 1(c) being a front view along arrow B shown in FIG. 1(a).

  • Contact part 11 has a through hole 111, extending in the front/rear direction, and piercing contact 1 is thus arranged as a female contact. Electrical connection of piercing contact 1 with an electrical part is achieved by the insertion of a counterpart male contact (electrical part) into through hole 111.

  • the tip parts of piercing protrusion 122 and contacting protrusion 123 are respectively provided with tapered shapes that narrow towards the tips by gradually inclining from outer surfaces 122b and 123b to inner surfaces 122a and123a and gradually inclining from the respective side edges towards the tip.
  • the distance from outer surface 122b of Piercing protrusion 122 to outer surface 123b of contacting protrusion 123 is approximately 0.9mm in the width direction of bottom plate part 121 .
  • the tip parts of piercing protrusion 122 and contacting protrusion 123 are not limited to those described above and various types of chamfering may be applied as necessary.

  • FIG. 4 is a schematic transverse section showing an example protrusion 123 of piercing contact 1 to flat cable 2 and is a sectional view along sectioning line IV - IV shown in FIG. 3(a).
  • Flat cable 3 with piercing contacts includes a plurality (five in the present embodiment) of piercing contacts 1 and a flat cable 2.
  • Flat cable 2 has an arrangement wherein a plurality (five in the present embodiment) of belt-like conductors 21 are aligned at equal intervals on a single plane and covered by an insulating sheath 22.
