Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection element having a socket portion for receiving a plug-in contact base part and arranged in the socket portion insert part which comprises two contact spring arms for contacting a plug-in contact inserted into the socket portion, wherein the free ends of the contact spring arms respectively in the region of an insertion opening of the connection element are arranged for the plug contact.
  • the base part and the insert part are separate components, wherein different materials are used for the base part and the insert part.
  • the base part can be formed, for example, from a particularly highly electrically conductive material, while the insert part may comprise a material which has particularly good spring properties in order to ensure reliable contact of the plug-in contact permanently.
  • connection element A problem in the known connection element proves that the insert can be displaced relative to the base part when inserting a plug contact in the connection element or when pulling out the plug contact from the connection element, whereby the function of the connection element affected and the insert may even be damaged.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrical connection element whose function is permanently guaranteed and which can be produced with reduced economic effort.
  • the free ends of the contact spring arms each have a widening for locking the insert part on the base part. Due to the widening of the contact spring arms, the insert part is fixed to the base part and in particular secured against displacement relative to the base part.
  • the insert part when inserting a plug contact into the connection element, the insert part can not be displaced within the base part. Likewise, it can not be pulled out of the base part together with the plug contact when pulling out the plug contact from the connection part. As a result, the insert is always in an optimal for contacting the plug contact position within the base part. At the same time damage to the insert is avoided by the plug contact. A reliable function of the connection element is thus permanently ensured.
  • the insert part and the base part can each be formed in one piece.
  • the insert part and / or the base part may be stamped / bent parts.
  • the connecting element can be produced with a reduced economic outlay.
  • the insert part and the base part may be formed of different materials, wherein the base part preferably consists of a Bronze material and in particular of CuSn 0.1 and the insert preferably made of a spring material, in particular of a copper alloy, for example CuNiSi, is formed.
  • the base part may additionally, in particular over the entire surface, be coated with tin.
  • the base part recesses, in which engage the widenings of the contact spring arms.
  • the insert is thereby secured to the base part according to the spring / groove principle.
  • the contact spring arms emerge from an insertion part base which is arranged asymmetrically in a rear end region of the bushing section arranged in the insertion direction.
  • the asymmetry of the insert base preferably results from an asymmetric design of the contact spring arms in the stamped but not yet bent state of the insert part.
  • Kunststofffederarmabitese are punched with different lengths.
  • the contact spring arms in the bent state of the insert part are substantially the same length. The difference in length of Maisfederarmabitese is thus compensated by the asymmetry of the insert base.
  • the training differently long justifyfederarmabitese allows overlapping of the widenings of the contact spring arms of an insert in the non-bent state. As a result, the Kunststofffederarmabitese can be punched with a smaller distance from each other. This leads to a further reduction of the material losses during the punching of the insert part and thus to a more cost-effective production of the connection element.
  • At least one of the contact spring arms in a transition region to the broadening on a constriction. If the spacers during punching of the insert part are arranged in such a way that they overlap one another, the constriction during punching creates space for the broadening of the respective other contact spring arm. As a result, the contact spring arms can be punched out with an even smaller distance from each other. This in turn leads to an even further reduction of the material losses during the punching out of the insert part, so that the connection element can be produced more economically.
  • the insert base may comprise two, each extending approximately at right angles to the direction of insertion, different lengths continuations of the contact spring arms. Due to the different length of these continuations, the different length of the punched Kunststofffederarmabitese is compensated, i. achieved a substantially equal length of the contact spring arms in the bent state of the insert part.
  • the continuations of the contact spring arms may be connected to each other by a connecting portion which is arranged approximately at right angles to the continuations of the contact spring arms and in the region of a recess of the base part for a secondary locking.
  • the connecting portion increases the stability of the insert part.
  • the insert part base of the connecting portion is not arranged in a longitudinal center plane of the insert part, but offset. In particular, it may be arranged below the recess of the base part for the secondary locking, so that obstruction of the secondary locking of the connecting element by the connecting section is avoided.
  • the contact spring arms each have a longitudinal recess extending in the plug-in direction in a contact region provided for contacting a plug-in contact inserted in the socket section. Through the longitudinal recesses two separate contact points for contacting the plug contact are created on each contact spring arm.
  • the insert thus has a total of four contact points for contacting the plug contact, which contributes to a plug contact is still reliably contacted even after a variety of mating operations.
  • the contact spring arms preferably each have a stiffening bulge in the region of their end facing the insert part base. These bulges increase the stability of the insert part and the reliability of the connection element even further.
  • the insert part in particular exclusively, is provided with a coating of a noble metal material, eg gold, silver or platinum, in a contact region provided for contacting a plug-in contact inserted in the socket section.
  • a noble metal material eg gold, silver or platinum
  • the insert is therefore not over the entire surface of the noble metal coated, but only where it is absolutely necessary, namely in the intended for contacting the plug contact area. In this way, while maintaining a good electrical conductivity of the insert part, the manufacturing costs of the connection element are further reduced.
  • Another object of the invention is also a method for producing an electrical connection element having a socket portion for receiving a plug-in contact, in particular designed as a punching / bending part, base part and arranged in the socket portion and formed as a punching / bending part insert part, which comprises two contact spring arms for contacting a plug-in contact inserted into the socket portion.
  • the insert part is punched from a sheet-like starting material such that two mutually parallel, differently long strip-shaped Maisfederarmabitese are connected at their one end by a base portion and each have a widening in the region of its other end, wherein the distance of Why it is connected to each other and the length of the Whyfederarmabitese be chosen so that the broadening of the longer Whyfederarmabitess and the broadening of the shorter Whyfederarmabitess in the flat, non-bent state of the insert overlap each other.
  • the widenings of the contact spring arm sections enable the insert part to be locked to the base part in such a way that the insert part arranged in the base part is always in an optimum position for contacting a plug contact inserted in the connection element. As a result, the function of the connection element is permanently ensured.
  • the Kunststoffe can be punched with a reduced distance from each other. This reduces the material losses occurring during the punching out of the insert part, so that the connection element can be produced overall more cost-effectively.
  • At least the longer devisfederarmabites can be provided with a constriction for the broadening of the shorter Kunststofffederarmabitess.
  • the Kunststofffederarmabitese punched with an even closer distance from each other and the material losses are further reduced.
  • the contact spring arm sections are preferably, in particular exclusively, in a contact area provided for contacting a plug contact with a coating of a noble metal material, e.g. Gold, silver or platinum. Due to the fact that the noble metal material is applied to the insert part only where it is required, namely in the contact area provided for contacting the plug contact, the precious metal consumption is reduced and the connection element can be produced even less expensively.
  • a noble metal material e.g. Gold, silver or platinum. Due to the fact that the noble metal material is applied to the insert part only where it is required, namely in the contact area provided for contacting the plug contact, the precious metal consumption is reduced and the connection element can be produced even less expensively.
