Definitions

  • MID Molded Interconnect Devices
  • the contact device on the mating contacts associated edges to sliding contacts such as fork spring contacts, Double leg flat springs od.
  • each contact leg of a contact near its free end a mouth inclined surface and its free end facing away behind at least one to the other contact legs facing contact tip.
  • a fork spring contact which has a plurality of contact arms, each with a contact tip.
  • Each contact arm is equipped with a single contact group.
  • the contact arms are arranged to each other such that the contact blades are arranged one behind the other in a plugging direction.
  • Each contact group is individually spring-mounted.
  • Object of the present invention is essentially to provide a contact device of the presupposed as known type, which is simple and particularly protected against damage to their contact surfaces.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features of claim 1 and is accordingly characterized in that the respective muzzle inclined surface merges into an additional contact tip, which is upstream of the contact tip in the insertion direction of the contact as a leading contact tip.
  • the essential core of the invention is thus to provide additional contact tips that eliminate the potentially contact-damaging influence of mating contacts, in particular their sharp or rugged edges or at least "defuse" before the conductive parts of the mating contacts come into operative contact with the actual contact blades.
  • each contact device For the purpose of establishing contact devices with fork-shaped contact elements so that when inserting printed circuits only a small insertion force is required, suggests the DE 1 046 137 Provide two or more adjacent contact elements for each contact unit, wherein the contact-forming tips of the contact elements are arranged offset in the insertion direction such that give the contact elements of each contact in succession upon insertion of the printed circuit.
  • each contact device consists of at least two, preferably three adjacent fork-shaped contact elements, each having a Maiskuppencru in opposing arrangement.
  • additional contact dome are also present here, but not upstream in the sense of the invention, the actual contact tip in the insertion direction of the contact leading.
  • the muzzle inclined surface in each case encloses a steep angle (W) of about 40 ° to 55 ° to the insertion direction and that the transition from the leading contact tip to the actual contact tip in each case flatter than the mouth inclined surface and each includes an angle (W) of about 15 ° to 30 ° to the direction of insertion.
  • W steep angle
  • these invention "special" are formed by special steep position to come as close as possible to the goal, annoying burrs, edges od. Like. The mating contact elements to settle.
  • all the contact tips are integrally formed with the contact, as well as with material uniformity.
  • the invention provides an embodiment in which the leading contact tip of a contact leg with respect to the leading contact tip of the other contact leg is offset by a certain amount in the insertion direction. This is particularly advantageous in that the leading contact points are successive, i. in temporal succession, come into effect and thus each uninfluenced by the other leading contact tip can perform their intended function.
  • a total of 10 designated contact device comprises a number of contact springs 11 which are formed as fork springs with fork legs 12 and 13 and a connecting this fork web 14.
  • a foot part or conductor connection section 15 is connected in particular material-material-cohesively. This may be a crimp termination for stripped conductor ends, but may also be e.g. around an insulation displacement fork.
  • the section 15 is not the subject of the present invention.
  • Each of the two fork legs 12, 13 has on its side facing the opposite fork legs 13 and 12, a so-called contact tip 16 and 17, respectively.
  • the two contact caps 16 and 17 are offset in the longitudinal or insertion direction 18 by a designated 19 degree. This serves to facilitate contacting in so far as the contact tip 16 and then only the contact tip 17 a counter contact 20 is applied, which should be in all the illustrated embodiments as an example, a printed circuit board 21 with traces 22, 23.
  • the mating contact 20 can also be a flat plug or blade contact or else a so-called metallized plastic contour.
  • the fork spring contact 11 is cut perpendicular to the plane of a flat rectangular contact plate.
  • the contact tips 16 and 17 provide with the punching surfaces their contact surfaces 16a and 17a ready.
  • these contact surfaces 16a and 17a, possibly also the entire contact spring 11, are in terms of optimal electrical contact enhanced by a galvanic coating such as tinning or gilding.
  • This finishing layer is very sensitive and can be damaged, for example, by sharp edges 24 of mating contacts 20.
  • Fig. 6 are therefore the marginal edges of a circuit board 20 by training two bevels 31 a little "defused". Nevertheless, they still stay out Fig. 6 apparent, despite the chamfering 31 sharp edges 24 as possibly damaging left over.
  • the contact spring 11 on the inner sides of its two fork legs 12 and 13 still so-called muzzle inclined surfaces 26, 27 as Aufsteck Entry and slideways for the smoothest possible contact with the mating contact 20.
  • the inclined surfaces 26 and 27 effect as a result of their wedge spreading the soft spreading the self-spring tension fork legs 12 and 13th
  • a contact device 10 has a contact spring 11 with two fork legs 12 and 13, a web 14 connecting them to one another and a conductor connection section 15. Again, two, optionally in the axial direction with not necessary and not shown here offset offset contact caps 16 and 17 are provided with their contact surfaces 16a and 17a.
  • This contact device 10 or the contact spring 11 is now designed in a special way to be contacted even with sharp edges 24, 25 of mating contacts 20 such as a printed circuit board 21 with conductors 22 and 23, without the contact surfaces 16a, 17a or Their finishing layers suffer damage.
  • a further, so-called leading contact tip 29 and 30 is provided on each of the two fork legs 12 and 13 respectively.
  • Their inner surfaces are designated 29a and 30a.
  • the contact blades 29 and 30 and thus also their inner surfaces 29a and 30a on a longitudinal offset, in Fig. 1 denoted by 28.
  • the leading contact blades 29 and 30 close to the free end of the fork legs 12 and 13 each have a mouth inclined surface 26 and 27 at.
  • Fig. 1 when inserting the contact device 10 in the direction of arrow 18 (plug-in direction) on a circuit board 21 first the muzzle inclined surface 27 on the sharp edge 25 of the circuit board 21. While simultaneously spreading the fork leg 13 with respect Fig. 1 to the right scrapes now the mouth inclined surface 27 along the edge 25 along and breaks them at least in the way easy to remove a sharp burr and / or sharpen the sharp edge.
  • the circuit board edge 24 In the further course of the attachment of the contact device 10 touches the circuit board 21, as in Fig. 4 shown, the circuit board edge 24, the one inclined surface 32 (for clarity in FIG Fig. 3 shown), which is formed between the leading contact tip 29 and the actual contact tip 16 and an inclination of about 15 ° (angle w in Fig. 3 ) having.
  • the contact of the printed circuit board edge 24 with the inclined surface 32 optionally leads to further sizing of its edge 24.
  • the leading contact tip 27 runs on a conductor track 22 of the printed circuit board 21.
  • Fig. 5 shows the final, operational contact state.
  • the essence of the invention is to pre-assign the actual contact tips 16 and 17 to the free end of the fork legs 12 and 13 so-called leading contact blades 29 and 30, in particular in cooperation with the previously arranged aggressive muzzle inclined surfaces 26th and 27, the edges 24 and 25 of the mating contact 20, for example a printed circuit board 21, a blade contact or an MID break or finish or chamfer.
  • contacts which are commonly referred to as fork spring contacts
  • Double-leg spring contacts such as flat contact springs, in which the spring legs face each other with their rolling surfaces and the crests are created by bending the leaf spring-like legs.
