Definitions

  • the invention relates to the general field of electrical connection.
  • a lug for electrical connection comprising a tubular portion, a flat portion and a transition portion disposed between the flat portion and the tubular portion, the flat portion having a through hole for the rod of a terminal with which said lug is adapted to cooperate, said tubular portion being adapted to receive, in its hollow, the end of an electric cable.
  • This type of lug is common in many electrical applications, for example to connect a cable to a metal mass, the flat portion of the lug being screwed to a projecting terminal of this metal mass.
  • Such pods are known to be made from a metal tube, one end of which is flattened by a press.
  • the flattened end of this lug has a contact pad function whose thickness is formed by the assembly of two layers of metal foils pressed against each other by the press.
  • These two metal layers are formed from the wall of the metal tube which has been plastically deformed.
  • the passage hole for the rod of a terminal is practiced through this double metal layer.
  • the object of the invention is to improve this type of pod.
  • the terminal for electrical connection comprising a tubular portion, a flat portion and a transition portion disposed between the flat portion and the tubular portion, the flat portion having a passage hole for the stem of a terminal with which said lug is adapted to cooperate, said tubular portion being adapted to receive, in its hollow, the end of an electric cable, this lug being characterized in that said flat portion comprises a first section in which said hole is formed and a second section located between the first section and the portion of transition, with the second section being narrower and thicker than the first section.
  • Such a lug thus has, at the level of the first section, a contact area connected to the second section, itself connected to the transition portion which has a section allowing the passage from the flat shape of the second section to the circular section a crimping portion formed by the tubular portion of the pod.
  • This second section hereinafter referred to as "thinned section” has a flattened shape, as the contact area, but is not used for the electrical connection.
  • This pod thus has a section providing an additional function with respect to the crimping portion and the contact pad, this thinned section being nevertheless formed in the same way as the contact pad, by crushing.
  • the thinned section can be made by the same flattening process as for the contact area, the only difference being that at the level of the thinned section, the crushing is less important to simultaneously confer a greater thickness and a smaller width. relative to the contact area.
  • the thinned section may furthermore provide other additional functions, such as for example receiving a marking of the terminal.
  • the thinned section can indeed be engraved, printed or receive an adhesive marking or mechanically maintained, while not disturbing the electrical contact at the contact area.
  • the pod represented on the Figures 1 to 3 comprises a crimping portion 1 connected by a transition portion 2 to a flat portion 3.
  • the crimping portion 1 is tubular in shape and comprises a first cylindrical sealing section 4 and a second cylindrical connecting section 5 that is coaxial and of a diameter smaller than the sealing section 4.
  • the tubular wall forming the sealing section 4 has a thickness less than that of the branch section 5.
  • the crimping portion 1 thus has a cylindrical hollow whose shape reproduces the external shape of the crimping portion 1.
  • the flat portion 3 is formed of a first flat section forming a contact pad 6 and a second flat section forming a thinner section 7 in the width direction and having a thickness greater than the thickness of the contact area 6.
  • the transition portion 2 has a characteristic shape for connecting the flat shape of the thinned portion 7 to the cylindrical shape of the connecting portion 5 of the crimping portion 1.
  • the crimping portion 1 is thus adapted to receive a stripped electrical cable whose bare end of the conductor is inserted into the branch section 5 while the rest of the cable, provided with its insulator, extends into the sealing section 4.
  • the stretch of branch 5 is compressed on the conductor to allow electrical contact while the sealing section 4 is compressed on the cable insulation so that the assembly of the sealing section 4 and the cable is sealed.
  • the sealing section 4 can receive an O-ring disposed on its inner wall so as to enhance the sealing of the assembly of the sealing section 4 and the electrical cable connected to the lug.
  • the flat portion 3 As regards the flat portion 3, it consists of two layers of material pressed against each other. At the level of the contact area 6, the two layers of material are compressed more strongly than at the level of the thinned section 7, which explains the difference in thickness between these two sections 5, 7.
  • the pod of Figures 1 to 3 can be made from a metal tube whose cylindrical wall has a diameter and a thickness corresponding to the branch section 5 visible on the figure 2 .
  • This metal tube is first of all plastically deformed at one of its ends by means of a pin inserted in the tube, which makes it possible to form the sealing section 4 which has a greater diameter than the connection section 5.
  • the crimping portion 1 is thus made.
  • the terminal is then placed in a press and a die flatten the area of the metal cylinder which corresponds to the flat portion 3.
  • the matrix used for this purpose comprises two jaws adapted to simultaneously crush the metal tube so that the flat portion 3 is arranged along the longitudinal axis of the crimping portion 1 so that the terminal is symmetrical with respect to the plane in which the flat portion 3 extends (see figure 2 ).
  • the two jaws of the matrix are shaped so as to have a first planar surface intended to form the contact pad 6 and to have a second planar surface set back from the previous one, that is to say a vertical drop is present between these two planar surfaces of each jaw of the matrix, to form the thinned section 7.
  • An additional operation may be to coat the entire lug, or just the contact pad 6, with a conductive coating, for example copper or tin plating.
  • the thinned section 7 can also receive a marking (not shown) to identify the lug (not shown), this marking does not interfere with the contact pad 6.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate an example of a pod mounting environment previously described.
  • the figure 4 is a view of the lug threaded on the threaded rod 11 of an electrical connection terminal. This figure shows the cooperation of the terminal with arms 8 ensuring its maintenance in rotation.
  • the figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the assembly of the figure 4 after a nut 10 has been screwed onto the threaded rod 11 and tightened on the contact pad 6.
  • the threaded rod 11 belongs to a connection terminal 12 provided with a support flange 13 adapted to receive the lower face of the contact pad 6.
  • the contact pad 6 can thus be clamped between the support flange 13 and the nut 10 so that the electrical contact is ensured between the terminal 12 and the lug.
  • the figure 5 also shows the arrangement of an anti-rotation ring 9 made of an insulating material.
  • the arms 8 protrude vertically from this ring 9.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the rotation of the terminal around the threaded rod 11 during the tightening of the nut 10.
  • This rotational stop is ensured by the arms 8 which are separated by a distance substantially corresponding to the width of the section thinned 7, that is to say a distance less than the width of the contact pad 6.
  • the arrangement of the flat portion 3 with respect to the crimping portion 1 may be different, for example asymmetrical.
  • the flat portion 3 can be made from processes other than that described, for example by molding, stamping, spinning or sintering.
