Definitions
- the invention relates to a press-in contact and a method for its production.
- Press-in contacts of this type are used to produce electrical, solder-free press-in contacts, for which purpose these are pressed, in particular, into through-plated bores in printed circuit boards.
- Stamping processes in particular can be used to produce press-in contacts with elastic press-in areas.
- Such press-in contacts have two legs spaced apart from one another in the press-in region.
- the legs of the press-in contact are produced by punching into a solid material, a correspondingly large material surface being required to punch the hole between the legs. Accordingly, the press-in contacts produced in this way generally have a flat, flat shape. When these contacts are introduced into the circular bores, this essentially results in two contact surfaces of the bearing which are offset by 180 ° to one another Press-in contact on the wall of the bore, which are formed by the narrow sides of the press-in contact.
- No. 3,846,741 A describes press-in contacts for introducing into bores in printed circuit boards which are produced by bending metal strips.
- a press-in contact can be formed by two metal strips lying one on top of the other, the lower ends of which are bent up in such a way that they form apart legs that are pressed into the respective bore under pressure.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a press-in contact which, on the one hand, can be produced cost-effectively and efficiently and, on the other hand, has good and reproducible mechanical and electrical contact properties.
- the press-in contact comprises a contact body and two limbs formed in one piece therewith, which are separated by a separating surface produced by means of non-cutting machining and are widened within a press-in region and are arranged at a distance from one another. moreover a tip adjoining the press-in area is provided, which is formed by the free ends of the legs converging towards one another.
- the press-in contact according to the invention can be produced simply and efficiently.
- legs are worked into a contact body forming a solid part by means of a non-cutting machining process, which legs open out on the remaining segment of the contact body.
- the legs are preferably produced by shearing the contact body.
- the subsequent widening of the legs in the press-in area is then preferably carried out by means of a dome.
- Tools are advantageously used here that not only enable processing of a single press-in contact, but also simultaneous processing of several press-in contacts. This leads to extremely efficient production of press-in contacts.
- press-in contact Another important advantage of the press-in contact according to the invention is that its shape can be adapted to the circular contour of the through-plated hole in a printed circuit board into which the press-in contact is to be pressed, which results in a particularly high quality of contact, in particular is also largely insensitive to tolerances of the individual components of the contact. It is particularly advantageous that a high current carrying capacity of the contact is obtained with the press-in contact according to the invention, which is required in particular for high-current applications.
- the contact body of the press-in contact has a square cross section. Since the legs are produced by cutting or, in particular, shearing one end of the contact body, the sum of the cross sections of the legs in the press-fit area again corresponds, at least approximately, to the square area. before the contact body.
- This square cross-sectional area of the legs in the press-in area represents a geometrically optimal adaptation to the circular contour of the bore.
- the contact forces run in a radial direction with respect to the center of the bore, the contact points between the press-in contact and the bore being offset by 90 ° to one another. This means a symmetrical distribution of the contact forces and thus a torque-free and centric mounting of the press-in contact in the bore.
- the conductor cross-section can be around 60 to 80% of the hole cross-section due to the permissible hole tolerances.
- the outer edges of the legs of the press-in contact each have a drawn or embossed radius, at least in the press-in region. These radii form four large, gas-tight connections with the wall of the borehole, which are clearly delimited by free spaces, as a result of which a corrosion-resistant contact between the press-in contact and the borehole is obtained, which can withstand high currents.
- press-in contact in the form of a tip makes the insertion of the press-in contact into the respective bore considerably easier.
- the free ends protrude from the underside of the bore. Then these can be bent up and against the lower edge of the hole be pressed, which creates a positive connection between the bent tip and the circuit board.
- the connection formed in this way corresponds to a riveted connection and leads to a very good hold of the press-in contact in the bore.
- press-in contacts can also be used in this way as purely mechanical fixing elements without electrical function.
- the press-in contact has a connection area which is formed by the contact body and adjoining segments of the legs, which lie close together.
- the segments of the legs which form the press-in region and are widened against one another then adjoin this connection region.
- an efficient tolerance compensation is created. This is done by the fact that the stiffness of the press-in contact in the connection area is reduced by the separation of the legs in the connection area, which ensures that the permissible forces on the printed circuit board and the press-in area are not exceeded during the press-in process, even if the axis is offset between the press-in contact and the bore due to tolerances.
- the press-in area of the press-in contact according to the invention has good elastic properties due to its shape.
- the press-in contact can also consist of brass instead of the commonly used materials such as copper alloys, i.e. a material with poor spring properties but very high conductivity values.
- Figure la Schematic representation of an embodiment of the press-in contact according to the invention.
- Figure lb cross section through the press-in contact according to Figure 1.
- FIG. 2 cross section through a hole in a printed circuit board with a press-in contact pressed therein according to FIGS. 1 a, b.
- FIG. 3 Schematic representation of a contact body for producing a press-in contact according to FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 cross section through an embossing tool for embossing contact bodies according to FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross section through a shearing tool for shearing contact bodies according to FIG. 3.
- FIG. 6 contact body with legs opening at this, produced with the shear tool according to FIG. 5.
- FIG. 7 shows a cross section through an expansion tool for expanding the legs of the contact body according to FIG. 5.
- Figures la and lb show an embodiment of a press-in contact 1.
- Figure la shows a side view of the press-in contact 1
- Figure 1 b shows a cross section along the line A in Figure la.
- the press-in contact 1 can, as shown schematically in FIG. 2, be pressed into a through-metallized bore 2 of a conductor plate, the bore 2 having a circular cross section.
- the press-in contact 1 in the present case consists of a brass part.
- the press-in contact 1 has a contact body 3, on the underside of which two legs 4 open out freely.
- the legs 4 are formed in that a separation running along a separation surface is introduced into a segment of the contact body 3 by cutting or shearing, so that the eyes Connect 4 to the remaining solid segment of the contact body 3.
- the legs 4 are thus formed in one piece with the contact body 3.
- the legs 4 are of identical design and are formed symmetrically to the plane of symmetry running in the longitudinal direction of the press-in contact 1.
- the contact body 3 has a rectangular cross section, in the present case a square cross section that is constant over its length. Since the legs 4 are formed by shearing or cutting from the contact bodies 3, they each have a rectangular cross section which is constant over their length, the cross sections complementing the square cross section of the contact body 3. Only in the area of the free ends of the legs 4 can their cross sections be somewhat tapered in order to facilitate the insertion of the press-in contact 1 into the bore 2.
- the press-in contact 1 is divided into different areas, namely a connection area 5 at its upper end, a press-in area 6 adjoining it and a tip 7 at its lower end.
- connection area 5 which is used for the electrical connection of external units to the press-in contact 1, consists of the solid contact body 3 and the adjoining upper segments of the legs 4, which adjoin one another separated by a separating surface segment 8.
- the connection area 5 is completed by the area of the legs 4, which diverge starting from the separating surface segment 8 and thus enclose an intermediate space in the form of a gusset 9.
- the legs 4 are expanded by means of suitable tools and are at a greater distance from one another.
- the legs 4 thus form an elastic press-in area 6. Due to the tool processing, the inner sides in this area have a smoothed surface.
- the legs 4 in the area of the press-fit area 6 form an eyelet, wherein whose outer dimension is larger than the diameter of the bore 2 into which the press-in contact 1 is to be pressed.
- the space between the legs 4 in the press-in area 6 forms a defined expansion area 10.
- the tip 7 of the press-in contact 1 adjoins the press-in area 6.
- the tip 7 is formed by the free ends of the legs 4.
- the legs 4 run towards one another at predetermined angles of inclination and enclose an intermediate space in the form of a gusset 11.
- the free ends of the legs 4 run essentially parallel.
- the legs 4 are separated by a separation gap 12.
- the outer edges of the legs 4 have radii 13 in the press-in area 6.
- the outer edges of the press-in contact 1 can have radii 13 drawn or embossed over their entire lengths.
- the outer edges of the legs 4 in the press-in area 6 have radii 13 embossed by a separate working step.
- the tip 7 of the press-in contact 1 is first inserted into the bore 2. Since the cross sections of the legs 4 are reduced in the area of the tip 7 and the free ends of the legs 4 converge, their outer dimensions are smaller than the diameter of the bore 2, which ensures that the tip 7 is easily inserted into the bore 2.
- the press-in region 6 of the press-in contact 1 is then pressed into the bore 2, the legs 4 being pressed against one another in the press-in region 6 during the press-in and, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 2 shows the legs 4 pressed into the bore 2 in the press-in area 6. Since the legs 4 are produced by shearing or cutting from the contact body 3 and this has a square cross-section, the legs 4 in the press-in area 6 complement one another to form this square cross-sectional area , which is optimally adapted to the geometry of the circular bore 2.
- the geometry of the legs 4 ensures that the contact forces F between the press-in contact 1 and the bore 2 act in the radial direction and in a rotationally symmetrical manner with respect to the center of the bore 2, as shown in FIG. This results in a torque-free, centric, secure mounting of the press-in contact 1 in the bore 2.
- the radii 13 of the legs 4 form large-area, gas-tight contact surfaces 2a with the bore 2.
- the contact surfaces 2a are clearly delimited by subsequent free spaces 2b, which results in a defined surface pressure between the press-in contact 1 and the bore 2. Dirt and foreign layers can be displaced into the free spaces 2b when pressed in.
- the sum of the contact areas 2a of the gas-tight connections produced in this way is generally larger than the cross section of the press-in contact 1. This results in a very low electrical contact resistance and a correspondingly high current carrying capacity.
- the square cross-sectional arrangement of the legs 4 forms a large conductor cross section in the smallest possible bore 2.
- the tip 7 of the press-in contact 1 pressed into the bore 2 protrudes slightly beyond the lower edge of the bore 2. If necessary, the free the ends of the legs 4 are bent up and pressed against the edge of the bore 2, whereby a rivet connection is created, which ensures a further improved mechanical hold of the press-in contact 1.
- Figures 3 to 7 show the method for producing the press-in contact 1 according to Figures la and lb.
- Figure 3 shows the starting material for producing a press-in contact 1 namely in the form of a Maisgro ⁇ ers 3, which is a solid part made of brass.
- the contact body 3 has a square cross section that is constant over its length. The outer edges of the contact body 3 can have drawn or embossed radii 13.
- FIGS. 4, 5 and 7 show cross-sectional representations of tools by means of which a press-in contact 1 is produced from the contact body 3 by non-cutting machining processes.
- the tools are designed in such a way that a plurality of contact bodies 3 can be processed at the same time, so that, in particular, raster arrangements with a plurality of press-in contacts 1 can also be produced therewith.
- FIGS. 4, 5 and 7 tools for the simultaneous processing of four contact bodies 3 are provided. In principle, the number of contact bodies 3 to be processed simultaneously can also vary.
- FIG. 4 shows an embossing tool 14. This embossing tool 14 has four embossing molds 15 for receiving contact bodies 3.
- the longitudinal axis of a contact body 3 mounted in an embossing mold 15 runs perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
- the embossing dies 15 are adapted to the cross sections of the contact body 3. Due to the rounded corners of the embossing molds 15, radii 13 are impressed on the outer edges of the contact body 3 in the press-in area 6 of the press-in contact 1 that protrudes in each case.
- each embossing mold 15 has at least one projection 15a, with which a notch is made in the respective contact body 3. Then the Kunststoffgro ⁇ er 3 are machined in the shear tool 16 shown in Figure 5.
- the shear tool 16 has receptacles 17 for the contact body 3 and an arrangement of shear punches 18a, b. These form first shear punches 18a, which are moved downward to shear a contact body 3 in the drawing plane of FIG. 5, and second shear punches 18b, which are moved upward.
- Each contact body 3 has a first and a second shear stamp 18 a, b in the receptacle 17, the longitudinal axis of the contact body 3 running perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Due to the opposing shear movements of the first and second shear punches 18a, b acting on a contact body 3, the lower region of a contact body 3 is sheared to form two legs 4 separated by a separating surface.
- the contact body 3 obtained after a shearing process with the two legs 4 is shown in FIG. Due to the design of the shear punches 18a, b, the legs 4 opening out at the contact body 3 form a v-shaped arrangement.
- the legs 4 of the contact bodies 3 are bent together, so that they abut one another again.
- the contact bodies 3 pre-processed in this way are introduced into receptacles 20 of the expansion tool 19.
- the longitudinal axes of the contact bodies 3 mounted there are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
- Channels 21 open out at the receptacles 20, into each of which a mandrel 22 for widening the legs 4 in the press-in region 6 of the press-in contact 1 is inserted. Since the legs 4 are pressed apart during expansion by means of the dome 22, the widths of the receptacles 20 are greater than the width of the contact body 3, so that the legs 4 can move laterally when the dome 22 is pressed in. The space forming the expansion area 10 between the legs 4 in the press-in area 6 is due to the shape of the cathedral 22 determined. The inside of the legs 4 are smoothed by processing with the dome 22. The notch punched into the contact body 3 with the embossing tool 14 according to FIG. 3 serves as an insertion aid for the dome 22. With the tools according to FIGS. 4, 5, 7, the press-in contact 1 can be produced simply and efficiently. No further processing steps are required.
