Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lead-through terminal for passing at least one electrical line through a housing wall or the like.
  • Feed-through terminals are mainly used in electrical devices with housings and serve to pass one or more lines through the housing wall.
  • Lead-through terminals generally have a terminal housing consisting of insulating material, at least one arranged in the terminal housing or protruding from the terminal housing, metallicalthoughleiteran gleichSystem and at least one partly arranged in the terminal housing, partly protruding from the terminal housing, electrically connected to said at least one outer conductor terminal body, metallic inner conductor terminal body. They are fastened to the housing wall such that a body region of the terminal housing with the outer conductor connection body lies outside the housing, while a foot region of the terminal housing with the inner conductor connection body is located inside the housing.
  • the outer conductor connection which is accessible from outside the housing, is often designed as a screw connection body, while the inner conductor connection body, which serves to connect to components of the electrical device inside the housing, generally designed as a pin - solder terminal, blade terminal, winding terminal - is executed.
  • Other embodiments are also possible.
  • bushing terminals have housings that basically consist of two main parts.
  • the first part of the terminal housing is partially guided from the outside through an opening in the housing wall, while a second part is guided from the inside through the opening and secured to the first part.
  • the externally guided part may, for example, have a thread, wherein the inner part is an adapted nut.
  • Other embodiments for the connection of both parts of the terminal housing are known, such as grids, clips, etc.
  • An object of the invention is therefore to propose a bushing clamp which is easy to fasten.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a feed-through terminal which can be stably fixed.
  • a lead-through terminal with a terminal housing consisting of insulating material, at least one arranged in the terminal housing or protruding from the terminal housing, metallicmentsleiteran gleichSystem and at least partially arranged in the terminal housing, partly protruding from the terminal housing, electrically connected to said at least one outer conductor terminal body , metallic inner conductor connecting body, wherein the Terminal housing in an opening of a housing wall or the like is elastically fastened only from one side with integrated in the terminal housing fasteners. Thanks to this manufacturing, the lead-through terminal can be attached, for example, from the outside to the housing wall of an electrical device, without the need to attach further fasteners within the housing.
  • Figure 1 is a profile view of a feedthrough terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of an open feed-through terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail of the fastening elements in the terminal housing.
  • Figure 4 is a detail of the detents within the feedthrough belt.
  • Figure 5 shows the displacement of the latches of the bolt.
  • Figure 6 is a detail of the sealing means of the terminal housing.
  • Figure 7 shows the creepage path on the foot part of the terminal housing.
  • Figure 8 shows the grid for holding the inner terminal body in the terminal housing.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a feedthrough belt according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. All elements of the feedthrough belt are at least partially disposed in a terminal housing 1 made of insulating material. In the head region 12 of the terminal housing 1, an outer conductor connecting body 3 is arranged (shown in Figure 2). From the Foot portion 11 protrudes an inner conductor connecting body 4 out. Wedges 21 spring-loaded from both sides of the foot portion 11 and serve to attach the feedthrough belt, for example, on the housing wall of an electrical device.
  • the terminal housing 1 is formed of two halves, which are held together with snap connections.
  • FIG. 2 shows an open feedthrough belt.
  • holes 18 On the edge of the illustrated half 10 of the terminal housing 1 are holes 18 which correspond exactly to pins on the other half of the terminal housing 1, not shown, and serve the snap connections.
  • the body part 12 with the outer conductor body 3 lies essentially entirely on the outside of the housing wall 9, while the foot part 11 with the protruding inner conductor connecting body 4 essentially lies entirely on the inside of the housing wall 9 is arranged.
  • the outer conductor connection body 3 and the inner conductor connection body 4 are electrically connected.
  • the outer conductor connection body 3 is preferably designed as a screw connection body.
  • the outer conductor connection body 3 is accessible via an access opening 13 in the terminal housing for insertion of an electrical conductor, not shown, and via an actuating opening 130 in the terminal housing for insertion of actuating tools, not shown.
  • the inner conductor connecting body 4 is preferably designed as a connecting pin. On the protruding from the terminal housing end of the terminal pin 4, for example, an electrical conductor, not shown, are soldered.
  • the terminal pin 4 extends into the screw terminal body 3.
  • this conductor is printed against the end of the terminal pin 4. The electrical contact between the connection bodies 3 and 4, or between the corresponding conductors, not shown, is thus secured within the feedthrough belt.
  • the fastening elements which serve to secure the feedthrough belt to the housing wall 9, consist of two wedges 21, which partially engage in the foot region of the terminal housing.
  • the wedges 21 are elastically connected via spring-like connecting elements 22 with a bolt 2.
  • the bolt 2 comprises the connecting pin 4 and is guided on the guide sheets 123 on the inner sides of the terminal housing.
  • the opening in the bolt 2 is chosen to be large enough that no heat transfer from the terminal pin 4 to the latch 2 can take place when, for example, an electrical conductor, not shown, is soldered onto the connecting pin 4.
  • FIG. 4 shows a detail of these screens.
  • the feedthrough belt according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is fastened to the housing wall 9 only from one side, which represents a significant advantage over prior art lead-through terminals, especially when the inside of the housing wall 9 is difficult to reach.
  • the foot region 11 is inserted through a suitable opening in the housing wall 9 through until the head part 12 comes to rest on the housing wall 9.
  • the feedthrough belt is then already attached to the housing wall, but is not locked.
  • the feedthrough belt can be locked to the housing wall 9 by pressing on the latch 2 from the outside via the access opening 13 with a tool, for example a special tool, so that it moves in the direction of the wedges 21 along the guide rail 123 emotional.
  • the rasters 23 of the bolt 2 then work with the corresponding rasters on the guide rails 123 of the terminal housing with.
  • the angle of the surfaces coming into contact was chosen so that they hold self-locking in the lock. Thanks to this angle, which is shown in detail in Figure 3, the wedges 21 are moved during this locking in the direction of the inside of the housing wall 9. This movement of the wedges 21 allows the attachment of the same feedthrough belts to housings with different wall thicknesses.
  • the steps of the grids 23 and the grids on the guide sheets 123 are preferably to be kept as small as possible, so that the distance between the wedges 21 and the head part 12 can be adapted as accurately as possible to the thickness of the housing wall 9.
  • the angle between the bolt 2 and the wedges 21 leads to a reduction of the steps of the latches 23 and the latches on the guide sheets 123.
  • the latches 23 are preferably offset in pairs by half a step ( Figure 5) , Thus, the fineness of this adjustment can be doubled compared to the fineness achievable with the smallest possible step.
  • the fastening elements 21 are preferably located on the furthest sides of the foot part. Thanks to this construction, the leverage on the feedthrough belt of a pressure on the terminal housing 1, for example, during the screwing of an external conductor in the screw terminal body 3 with the screw 30, is very small.
  • the terminal pin 4 is not firmly fixed in the terminal housing as long as it is not blocked in the screw terminal body 3. Therefore, it has on at least one side of a grid 41, which cooperates with pins 141 in the terminal housing ( Figure 8) to avoid that it undesirably falls out of the terminal housing, either during assembly of the feedthrough belt on the housing wall 9 or during transport of not yet connected electrical device.
  • This construction has the advantage that the terminal pin 4 can be inserted into the terminal housing 1 only after the attachment of the feedthrough clamps to the housing wall 9.
  • the corresponding conductor to the electrical device can be soldered outside the housing on the pin 4 and only then be connected to the already mounted Marieskiemme by the pin 4 is inserted into the terminal housing 1.
  • the soldering process is therefore carried out under optimal conditions outside the housing in which the available space is usually too low.
  • the pin 4 may also be used a conductor connection of the electrical device with adapted form directly into the terminal housing 1.
  • the housing After installation of the electrical device in its housing sometimes the housing is filled with a potting compound to prevent unwanted aging of the elements of the device. This is often the case for electrical filters, for example. Therefore, the feedthrough belt must be tight.
  • This seal is secured in the preferred embodiment of the inventiveêtskiemme by integrated in the terminal housing 1 lips 14 around the pin 4 ( Figure 6).
  • the distance between the lips 14 is slightly smaller than the corresponding dimension of the terminal pin 4. Since the lips next to the pin 4 are fine, they are also slightly elastic. They are thus printed sufficiently against the terminal pin 4 to ensure a good seal of the terminal housing from the interior of the housing.
  • the lips 14 serve in addition to the extension of the not shown creepage path between the pins of two possibly adjacent to each other on the same housing wall mounted feedthrough terminals. Thanks to the extension of this electrical creepage so the permissible voltage difference between the pins of two adjacent feedthrough terminals is increased.
  • FIG. 7 shows a detail of the foot part 11. It can be seen from this figure that the foot part 12 has grooves 16 in the region between the lips 14 and the body part 12. These grooves 16 are used to extend the electrical creepage 160 between the conductive, preferably metallic pin 4 and possibly also metallic on the figure 7 not With these grooves 16, the allowable voltage difference between the pin 4 and the housing wall is greater than in aêtskiemme with the same dimensions but no grooves.
  • the feedthrough belt serves to carry out a single electrical line.
  • feedthrough terminals with several parallel lines can be realized in the same way.
  • the fastening elements are located on the foot part of the terminal housing, in which the inner conductor connecting body is partially arranged.
  • the fasteners can also engage from another part of the terminal housing, such as from the surface of the head part, which comes with the housing wall to the plant.
  • this embodiment would possibly require additional openings in the housing wall for the fasteners.
  • inner and outer conductor connection bodies can also be chosen very differently.
  • both screw connection body may well be.
