Description

Elektrische Steckverbindung, insbesondere für ein Fahrzeug mit einer Electrical connector, in particular for a vehicle with a
Schiebetürsliding door
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Steckverbindung, insbesondere zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen einer Schiebetür und einem Türrahmen eines Fahrzeuges.The invention relates to an electrical plug connection, in particular for establishing an electrical connection between a sliding door and a door frame of a vehicle.
Zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen einer Schiebetür und einem Türrahmen eines Fahrzeuges werden vielfach Kontaktstifte verwendet, die beim Schließen der Schiebetür stumpf gegen im wesentlichen eben ausgebildete Kontaktflächen zugeordneter Kontaktelemente stoßen. Eine solche elektrische Verbindung ist beispielsweise in der US 5,248,259 beschrieben. Die Kontaktstifte sind dort axial beweglich und jeweils entgegen der Verbindungsrichtung durch eine Feder elastisch vorbelastet. In der Praxis hat sich allerdings gezeigt, daß derartige Anschlüsse nicht immer eine zuverlässige elektrische Verbindung sicherstellen, da die Kontaktstifte bzw. die ihnen zugeordneten Kontaktflächen mitunter verschmutzen.In order to establish an electrical connection between a sliding door and a door frame of a vehicle, contact pins are often used which, when the sliding door closes, abut against essentially flat contact surfaces of associated contact elements. Such an electrical connection is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,248,259. The contact pins are axially movable there and are elastically preloaded against the connection direction by a spring. In practice, however, it has been shown that such connections do not always ensure a reliable electrical connection, since the contact pins or the contact surfaces assigned to them sometimes become dirty.
In der DE 43 31 280 C1 ist demgegenüber ein bereits verbesserter elektrischer Anschluß für ein Fahrzeug mit einer Schiebetür beschrieben, der zwei wechselweise in Eingriff bringbare Verbindungsteile aufweist. Das erste Verbindungsteil ist dabei als Stecker mit einem abgerundeten Steckkopf ausgebildet, der im wesentlichen die Form eines Pyramidenstumpfes aufweist und an dem an die Kontur des Steckkopfes angepaßte Federkontaktstreifen vorgesehen sind. Das zweite Verbindungsteil ist als Buchse ausgeführt und weist eine den Steckkopf des ersten Verbindungsteils im wesentlichen formschlüssig aufnehmende Ausnehmung auf. Die Innenwände der Ausnehmung verlaufen somit trichterförmig in einem dem Neigungswinkel der Seitenflächen des pyramidenstumpfförmigen Steckkopfes entsprechenden Neigungswinkel schräg nach unten. Jede der Innenflächen der Ausnehmung weist dabei eine vertikal verlaufende, spaltförmige Vertiefung auf, in welcher ein etwa J-förmig gebogener Federkontaktstreifen angeordnet ist. Bei in Eingriff befindlichen Verbindungsteilen liegen die Federkontaktstreifen des Steckkopfes an den Federkontaktstreifen der Ausnehmung an, wobei der J-förmig gebogene Schenkel der Federkontaktstreifen der Ausnehmung durch den Steckkopf und dessen Federkontaktstreifen federn beaufschlagt ist. Beim Einführen des Steckkopfes in die Ausnehmung der Buchse ergibt sich somit eine Schleifbewegung zwischen den einander zugeordneten Federkontaktstreifen. Da allerdings die Federkontaktstreifen des Steckers an der Außenfläche des Steckkopfes ungeschützt anliegen, besteht bei diesem bekannten elektrischen Anschluß die Gefahr eines Umbiegens oder Abknickens von Federkontaktstreifen des Steckkopfes, wenn relativ große Lagetoleranzen beim Schließen der Schiebetür zwischen dem Stecker und der Buchse ausgeglichen werden müssen und dabei die freien Enden der Federkontaktstreifen des Steckers an Vorsprüngen der Buchse anstoßen.In contrast, DE 43 31 280 C1 describes an already improved electrical connection for a vehicle with a sliding door, which has two connecting parts which can be brought into engagement alternately. The first connecting part is designed as a plug with a rounded plug head, which essentially has the shape of a truncated pyramid and on which spring contact strips are provided which are adapted to the contour of the plug head. The second connecting part is designed as a socket and has a recess which essentially receives the plug head of the first connecting part in a form-fitting manner. The inner walls of the recess thus run obliquely downward in a funnel shape at an angle of inclination corresponding to the angle of inclination of the side faces of the truncated pyramid-shaped plug head. Each of the inner surfaces of the recess has a vertically running, slot-shaped depression in which an approximately J-shaped spring contact strip is arranged. When the connecting parts are in engagement, the spring contact strips of the plug head rest against the spring contact strips of the recess, with the J-shaped leg of the spring contact strips of the recess being spring-loaded by the plug head and its spring contact strips. When inserting the plug head into the recess of the socket, there is thus a grinding movement between the mutually assigned spring contact strips. However, since the spring contact strips of the connector rest unprotected on the outer surface of the plug head, with this known electrical connection there is a risk of bending or kinking spring contact strips of the plug head if relatively large positional tolerances when closing the sliding door between the plug and the socket have to be compensated and the free ends of the spring contact strips of the Push the plug against the projections of the socket.
DE 199 23 705 A1 betrifft eine elektrische Steckverbindung, insbesondere zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen einer Schiebetür und einem Türrahmen eines Fahrzeuges, mit zwei bei geschlossener Schiebetür in Eingriff stehenden Verbindungsteilen, von denen das eine Verbindungsteil als Stecker und das andere Verbindungsteil als Buchse ausgebildet ist, wobei der Stecker und die Buchse einander zugeordnete elektrisch leitende Kontaktelemente aufweisen, und wobei beim Ineingriffbringen von Stecker und Buchse die Kontaktelemente des Steckers an den ihnen zugeordneten Kontaktelementen der Buchse schleifen. Damit beim Schließen der Schiebetür eventuelle Lagetoleranzen ausgeglichen werden und zugleich eine hohe Kontaktsicherheit erreicht wird, ist der Stecker mit mindestens einem gegenüber seinen Kontaktelementen vorstehenden Zentrierdorn und die Buchse mit einer mit dem Zentrierdorn zusammenwirkenden Zentrierausnehmung versehen.DE 199 23 705 A1 relates to an electrical plug connection, in particular for establishing an electrical connection between a sliding door and a door frame of a vehicle, with two connecting parts engaged when the sliding door is closed, one of which is designed as a plug and the other connecting part as a socket , wherein the plug and the socket have mutually associated electrically conductive contact elements, and wherein when the plug and socket are engaged, the contact elements of the plug grind against the contact elements of the socket assigned to them. So that any positional tolerances are compensated for when the sliding door is closed and at the same time a high degree of contact reliability is achieved, the plug is provided with at least one centering mandrel protruding from its contact elements and the socket is provided with a centering recess which interacts with the centering mandrel.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine elektrische Steckverbindung, die insbesondere als elektrische Verbindung zwischen einer Schiebetür und einem Türrahmen eines Fahrzeuges geeignet ist, so auszuführen, daß bei geschlossener Schiebetür eventuelle auftretende Schwingungen ausgeglichen werden und zugleich eine hohe Kontaktsicherheit erreicht wird. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Ansprüchen angegebenen Merkmale der Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The invention has for its object to provide an electrical connector, which is particularly suitable as an electrical connection between a sliding door and a door frame of a vehicle, so that any vibrations that occur are compensated for while the sliding door is closed and at the same time a high level of contact reliability is achieved. This object is achieved by the features of the invention specified in the claims. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Steckverbindung, insbesondere zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen einer Schiebetür und einem Türrahmen eines Fahrzeuges, mit zwei in Eingriff stehenden Verbindungsteilen, von denen ein Verbindungsteils einen Stecker und ein erstes Gehäuse und ein anderes Verbindungsteil eine Buchse und ein zweites Gehäuse aufweist, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß der Stecker und/oder die Buchse gegenüber dem jeweiligen Gehäuse verschiebbar gelagert sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, da daß Gehäuse mit der Tür in Verbindung steht, die Kontakte von den Bewegungen der Schiebetür entkoppelt sind und ein Toleranzausgleich bei statischer und dynamischer Belastung erreicht wird.The electrical plug connection according to the invention, in particular for establishing an electrical connection between a sliding door and a door frame of a vehicle, with two engaged connecting parts, of which one connecting part has a plug and a first housing and another connecting part has a socket and a second housing characterized in that the plug and / or the socket are slidably mounted relative to the respective housing. This has the advantage that the housing is connected to the door, the contacts are decoupled from the movements of the sliding door and tolerance compensation is achieved with static and dynamic loads.
Vorzugsweise ist der Stecker und/oder die Buchse gegenüber dem jeweiligen Gehäuse zweidimensional oder dreidimensional gelagert, damit man so variabel auf die Schwingungen reagieren kann. In Kombination spricht man auch von einer schwimmenden Lagerung. Der Toleranzausgleich wird dadurch noch verbessert.The plug and / or the socket is preferably mounted two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally with respect to the respective housing, so that one can react variably to the vibrations. In combination, one speaks of a floating bearing. This improves the tolerance compensation.
Ferner erfolgt die schwimmende Lagerung von Stecker und/oder Buchse durch Federelemente, die in einer Federhalterung befestigt sind und über Federführungen gelenkt werden, so daß die Relativbewegungen zwischen den Kontaktelementen von Stecker und Buchse reduziert werden und somit der Verschleiß der Kontaktelemente verringert und deren Lebensdauer erhöht wird.Furthermore, the floating mounting of the plug and / or socket is carried out by spring elements which are fastened in a spring holder and are guided via spring guides, so that the relative movements between the contact elements of the plug and socket are reduced and thus the wear of the contact elements is reduced and their service life is increased becomes.
Des weiteren sind die Federführungen als Töpfe und/oder als Kegel ausgeführt, so daß eine gezielte Führung der Federelemente erreicht wird.Furthermore, the spring guides are designed as pots and / or as cones, so that a targeted guidance of the spring elements is achieved.
Vorzugsweise ist die Abstützfläche, gegen welche die Federelemente drücken, unter einem Winkel von 10° bis 80° angeschrägt, um so eine bessere Zentrierung des Steckerkopfes im Steckergehäuse zu gewährleisten. Bei einem Winkel von 45° wurden die besten Ergebnisse erzielt.The support surface against which the spring elements press is preferably beveled at an angle of 10 ° to 80 ° in order to ensure better centering of the plug head in the plug housing. The best results were obtained at an angle of 45 °.
Außerdem sind Stecker und/oder Buchse als eigenständige, einförmige Einheiten aufgebaut, damit wird die Montage und der Austausch vereinfacht.In addition, the plug and / or socket are constructed as independent, unitary units, which simplifies assembly and replacement.
Ferner wird mittels einer Dichtung verhindert, daß Feuchtigkeit in den Fahrzeuginnenraum gelangt.Furthermore, a seal prevents moisture from getting into the vehicle interior.
Des weiteren sind die Gehäuse von Stecker und/oder Buchse derart ausgeführt, dass keine Feuchtigkeit in den Gehäuseinnenraum eindringen kann. Die Ausführung ist derart gestaltet, daß das Gehäuse verklebt und/oder verschweißt ist, so daß keine Feuchtigkeit oder Wasser in den Innenraum eindringen kann.Furthermore, the housing of the plug and / or socket are designed such that no moisture can penetrate into the interior of the housing. The design is such that the housing is glued and / or welded so that no moisture or water can penetrate into the interior.
Vorteilhafterweise sind auf den Kontaktelementen von Stecker und/oder Buchse Koppelelemente aufgebracht, um eine Veränderung des Übergangswiderstandes infolge aufeinander reibender Kontaktelemente gleichen Materials entgegenzuwirken und somit geringe Steuerströme im Milliamperebereich übertragen zu können.Coupling elements are advantageously applied to the contact elements of the plug and / or socket in order to change the contact resistance as a result counteracting contact elements of the same material rubbing against each other and thus being able to transmit low control currents in the milliampere range.
Ferner bestehen die Koppelelemente, insbesondere aus einer Silberlegierung, da diese zur Schmierung der Kontaktpaarung führt. Dadurch ist es möglich mehr als 150000 Kontaktschließungen zu tätigen ohne die Kontaktelemente zu verschleißen.Furthermore, the coupling elements consist, in particular, of a silver alloy, since this leads to the lubrication of the contact pairing. This makes it possible to make more than 150,000 contact closings without wearing out the contact elements.
Des weiteren können über eine Bohrung in den Kontaktelementen von Stecker und/oder Buchse Kontaktstifte eingesetzt werden, welche federnd gelagert sind. Diese Kontaktstifte können nach vollständiger Abnutzung ausgetauscht werden.Furthermore, contact pins can be inserted via a bore in the contact elements of the plug and / or socket, which are spring-loaded. These pins can be replaced after they are completely worn out.
Vorteilhafterweise bestehen die Kontaktstifte aus einer Kupferlegierung, welche mit einer Silberlegierung beschichtet wird oder die Kontaktstifte werden vollständig aus einer Silberlegierung gefertigt, da diese zur Schmierung der Kontaktpaarung dient.The contact pins advantageously consist of a copper alloy which is coated with a silver alloy or the contact pins are made entirely of a silver alloy, since this serves to lubricate the contact pairing.
Außerdem kann bei dieser Ausführungsführungsform der Kontaktpaarung das Federkontaktelement aus Kunststoff gefertigt werden, was zu einer Verringerung der Materialkosten führt beziehungsweise fertigungstechnisch Vorteile bringt.In addition, in this embodiment of the contact pairing, the spring contact element can be made of plastic, which leads to a reduction in material costs or brings advantages in terms of production technology.

Die in den Fig. 1-5 dargestellte elektrische Steckverbindung besteht aus zwei Verbindungsteilen 1 , 20, wobei das erste Verbindungsteil 1 als Stecker 2 ausgeführt ist und das zweite Verbindungsteil 20 als Buchse 21.The electrical plug connection shown in FIGS. 1-5 consists of two connecting parts 1, 20, the first connecting part 1 being designed as a plug 2 and the second connecting part 20 as a socket 21.
Fig. 1-4 zeigen das Verbindungsteil 1 aus unterschiedlichen Ansichten. Gleiche Bezeichnungen weisen auf gleiche Funktion hin. Das Verbindungsteil 1 weist einen Stecker 2 auf, der als eine Einheit aufgebaut ist und aus einem Steckerkopf 3, einer Steckerführung 4 und einem Kontaktanschluß 5 besteht.1-4 show the connecting part 1 from different views. The same designations indicate the same function. The connecting part 1 has a plug 2, which is constructed as a unit and consists of a plug head 3, a plug guide 4 and a contact connection 5.
Der Steckerkopf 3 weist zwei gleich weit vorstehende Zentrierdorne 7 auf, zwischen denen sechs Kontaktelemente 6 angebracht sind. Die Kontaktelemente 6 sind im wesentlichen J-förmig ausgebildet. Die Zentrierdorne 7 stehen gegenüber den Kontaktelementen 6 in Einsteckrichtung vor, so daß die Kontaktelemente 6 erst dann in die Buchse 21 gelangen können, wenn die Zentrierdorne 7 bereits in dafür vorgesehene Zentrierausnehmungen 27 der Buchse 21 eingeführt sind (vgl. Fig. 5). Es wird somit zunächst an der Buchse 21 die Führung des Steckers 2 sichergestellt, bevor dessen Kontaktelemente 6 mit den Koppelelementen 29 der Buchse 21 in Berührung kommen.The plug head 3 has two centering mandrels 7 projecting to the same extent, between which six contact elements 6 are attached. The contact elements 6 are essentially J-shaped. The centering pins 7 protrude from the contact elements 6 in the insertion direction, so that the contact elements 6 can only get into the socket 21 when the centering pins 7 have already been inserted into the centering recesses 27 provided in the socket 21 (see FIG. 5). It is thus ensured at the socket 21 that the connector 2 is guided before its contact elements 6 come into contact with the coupling elements 29 of the socket 21.
Die Kontaktelemente 6 sind jeweils mit einem Abschnitt in einer gegenüber den Zentrierdornen 7 verbreiterten Abstützfläche 10 des Steckers 2 eingebettet und ragen aus der Rückseite der Abstützfläche 10 heraus, um Steckkontakte zu bilden, die bis in den Kontaktanschluß 5 verlaufen. In die Abstützfläche 10 sind Justierelemente 8, beispielsweise Schrauben, integriert. Zur Montage der elektrischen Steckverbindung (vgl. Fig. 5) wird das Verbindungsteil 20 über die Montagebohrungen 34 mittels Schrauben (nicht dargestellt) mit dem Türrahmen (nicht dargestellt) verbunden. Die Schiebetür (nicht dargestellt) mit dem Verbindungsteil 1 wird geschlossen, so daß der Stecker 2 in die Buchse 21 eingefahren wird. Anschließend wird das Verbindungsteil 1 über die Montagebohrungen 9 mittels Schrauben (nicht dargestellt) mit der Schiebetür (nicht dargestellt) fest verbunden und die Justierelemente 8 werden entfernt.The contact elements 6 are each embedded with a section in a support surface 10 of the plug 2 which is widened relative to the centering mandrels 7 and protrude from the rear of the support surface 10 in order to form plug contacts which extend into the contact connection 5. Adjustment elements 8, for example screws, are integrated in the support surface 10. To assemble the electrical plug connection (see FIG. 5), the connecting part 20 is connected to the door frame (not shown) by means of the mounting holes 34 by means of screws (not shown). The sliding door (not shown) with the connecting part 1 is closed, so that the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 21. Subsequently, the connecting part 1 is firmly connected to the sliding door (not shown) by means of the mounting holes 9 by means of screws (not shown) and the adjusting elements 8 are removed.
Des weiteren sind an der Unterseite der Abstützfläche 10 kegelförmige Federführungen 16 angebracht, die zur Führung der Federelemente 15 dienen.

In der oberen Gehäuseplatte 12 befinden sich Montagebohrungen 9, die zur Aufnahme von Schrauben oder dergleichen dienen. Vorzugsweise könnten die Montagebohrungen 9 auch oval in Längs- und/oder Querrichtung ausgerichtet sein, um so noch Montagefreiheitsgrade zu schaffen. Über die Befestigungselemente 18 wird die Verbindung zwischen dem Gehäusekörper 13 und der unteren Gehäuseplatte 14 hergestellt. Zwischen der unteren Gehäuseplatte 14 und dem Kontaktanschluß 5 befindet sich eine Dichtung 19.Furthermore, the connecting part 1 has a housing 11, consisting of an upper housing plate 12, a housing body 13 and a lower housing plate 14. In the upper housing plate 12 there are triangular recesses 39 (cf. FIG. 4). Moisture / water which has penetrated into the housing can flow off again via the recesses 39. The plug 2 can be moved relative to the housing H via the spring elements 15. The housing body 13 is arranged between the upper housing plate 12 and the lower housing plate 14. In the top Housing plate 12 are mounting holes 9, which serve to receive screws or the like. Preferably, the mounting holes 9 could also be aligned oval in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction in order to create degrees of freedom of assembly. The connection between the housing body 13 and the lower housing plate 14 is established via the fastening elements 18. A seal 19 is located between the lower housing plate 14 and the contact connection 5.
Fig. 5 zeigt ein zu dem Verbindungsteil 1 der Fig. 1-4 passendes Verbindungsteil 20, dass als Buchse 21 ausgeführt ist. Die Buchse 21 weist zwei mit den beiden Zentrierdornen 7 des Steckers 2 zusammenwirkende Zentrierausnehmungen 27 auf, die durch einen Längsschlitz 26 zur Aufnahme des Steckerkopfes 3 miteinander verbunden sind.FIG. 5 shows a connecting part 20 which matches the connecting part 1 of FIGS. 1-4 and is designed as a socket 21. The socket 21 has two centering recesses 27 which interact with the two centering mandrels 7 of the plug 2 and which are connected to one another by a longitudinal slot 26 for receiving the plug head 3.
Weiterhin besitzt das Verbindungsteil 20 ein Gehäuse 22, bestehend aus einer oberen Gehäuseplatte 23, einem Gehäusekörper 24 und einem Kontaktanschluß 25. Der Gehäusekörper 24 ist zwischen oberer Gehäuseplatte 23 und dem Kontaktanschluß 25 angeordnet. In der oberen Gehäuseplatte 23 befinden sich Montagebohrungen 34, die zur Aufnahme von Schrauben oder dergleichen dienen. Vorzugsweise könnten die Montagebohrungen 34 auch oval in Längs- und/oder Querrichtung ausgerichtet sein, um so noch Montagefreiheitsgrade zu schaffen.Furthermore, the connecting part 20 has a housing 22, consisting of an upper housing plate 23, a housing body 24 and a contact connection 25. The housing body 24 is arranged between the upper housing plate 23 and the contact connection 25. In the upper housing plate 23 there are mounting holes 34 which serve to receive screws or the like. The mounting bores 34 could also preferably be oval in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction in order to create degrees of freedom of assembly.
Wie in Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist, sind in der Buchse 21 Federkontaktstreifen 28 angeordnet, wobei die Federkontaktstreifen 28 mit den zugeordneten Kontaktelementen 6 des Steckers 2 zusammenwirken. Die Federkontaktstreifen 28 sind jeweils in einem Endabschnitt 30 in die Buchse 2 eingebettet und bilden Steckkontakte 32, die in eine Halterung 35 der Buchse 21 eingeführt werden, während der abgewinkelte, andere Endabschnitt 31 mit Spiel in eine Ausnehmung (nicht dargestellt) der Buchse 21 ragt. Die Federkontaktstreifen 28 weisen Koppelelemente 29, vorzugsweise aus einer Silberlegierung auf. Die Federkontaktstreifen 28 werden mittels Federelemente 33 elastisch vorgespannt.As can be seen in FIG. 6, spring contact strips 28 are arranged in the socket 21, the spring contact strips 28 interacting with the associated contact elements 6 of the plug 2. The spring contact strips 28 are each embedded in an end section 30 in the socket 2 and form plug contacts 32 which are inserted into a holder 35 of the socket 21, while the angled, other end section 31 projects with play into a recess (not shown) in the socket 21 , The spring contact strips 28 have coupling elements 29, preferably made of a silver alloy. The spring contact strips 28 are elastically prestressed by means of spring elements 33.
Wird nun zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung der Stecker 2 in die Buchse 21 gesteckt, so gelangen wie bereits erwähnt, zuerst die Zentrierdorne 7 in die damit zusammenwirkende Zentrierausnehmungen 27 der Buchse 21. Wenn die Zentrierdorne 7 mit einer bestimmten Länge in die Zentrierausnehmungen 27 der Buchse 21 eingeführt sind, berühren die Kontaktelemente 6 des Steckers 2 die beiden gegenüberliegenden Gruppen der Federkontaktstreifen 28. Mit weiterem Eindringen des Steckers 2 in die Buchse 21 werden die einander gegenüberliegenden Federkontaktstreifen 28 mit den Koppelelementen 29 in Schleifkontakt mit den ihnen zugeordneten Kontaktelementen 6 des Steckers 2 elastisch auseinander gedrückt, wobei sich die abgewinkelten Endabschnitte 31 in der Buchse 21 nach außen bewegen. Gleichzeitig werden auch die Federelemente 33 nach außen gedrückt.If the plug 2 is now inserted into the socket 21 in order to establish an electrical connection, the centering mandrels 7 first come into the centering recesses 27 of the socket 21 which cooperate therewith, if the centering mandrels 7 have a certain length in the centering recesses 27 of the socket 21 are introduced, the contact elements 6 of the plug 2 touch the two opposite groups of the spring contact strips 28. With further penetration of the Plug 2 in the socket 21, the mutually opposite spring contact strips 28 with the coupling elements 29 in sliding contact with the associated contact elements 6 of the plug 2 are pressed apart, the angled end portions 31 in the socket 21 moving outwards. At the same time, the spring elements 33 are also pressed outwards.
Fig. 7 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform des Federkontaktelementes 28. Der Kontaktstift 36 übernimmt die Funktion des Koppelelementes 29 (vgl. Fig. 5-6). Der Kontaktstift 36 wird über eine Bohrung 38 in das Federkontaktelement 28 eingesetzt und ist über ein Federelement 33 verschiebbar gelagert. Die elektrische Kontaktierung erfolgt über die elektrische Verbindung 37, die bis in den Kontaktanschluß 25 verläuft. FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of the spring contact element 28. The contact pin 36 takes over the function of the coupling element 29 (cf. FIGS. 5-6). The contact pin 36 is inserted into the spring contact element 28 via a bore 38 and is displaceably mounted via a spring element 33. The electrical contact is made via the electrical connection 37, which extends into the contact connection 25.
