Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connection element with a socket portion for receiving a plug-in contact, wherein the socket portion comprises two contact spring arms for contacting the plug-in contact received in the socket portion and an outwardly bent locking tongue for locking the connection element in a housing.
  • connection element of the type mentioned is formed by a contact spring arms exhibiting base and a separate over-spring, which surrounds the base.
  • the over-spring defines the outer geometry of the female portion and is provided with the locking tongue. Due to the two-part design, the production of the known connection element is associated with an increased economic outlay.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrical connection element which can be produced with a lower economic cost.
  • connection element according to the invention can therefore be produced more cheaply.
  • the connecting element according to the invention is preferably a stamped / bent part, which is brought into a shape such that the outer geometry of the bushing section substantially matches the outer shape of the two-part bushing section of a conventional connecting element by suitably bending a corresponding stamping plate.
  • the connecting element according to the invention can thus be used instead of a conventional connecting element in an existing housing and locked in this.
  • the contact spring arms project from opposite wall segments of the socket section in a region of the socket section facing away from an insertion opening for the plug contact.
  • the contact spring arms are thus in the range of their - seen in the insertion direction - hinged rear ends, while their front, located in the region of the insertion opening free ends during insertion of the plug contact in the socket portion allow a squeezing of the contact spring arms.
  • the locking tongue can emerge from a wall segment of the socket section located in the region of an insertion opening for the plug-in contact and can be bent outward at least in the region of a free end facing away from the insertion opening.
  • the locking tongue is articulated in other words in the region of its front end and bent in the region of its rear end to the outside. In this way, the locking tongue can cooperate with a latching projection provided in a housing for the connection element and prevent the connection element from being pushed out of the housing when a plug contact is inserted into the socket section.
  • the locking tongue extends outside of one contact spring arm, i. it is arranged on the side facing away from the other contact spring arm of aêtfederarms.
  • overbending protection is provided for at least one of the contact spring arms.
  • such overbending protection is provided for each of the contact spring arms.
  • the overbias protection prevents the contact spring arms from e.g. if the plug-in contact is improperly inserted into the socket section, it can be excessively bent outwards and thereby damaged.
  • the overbending protection thus contributes to a permanently reliable function of the contact spring arms and thus of the connection element as a whole.
  • a contact spring arm preferably has a lateral projection which engages in an opening provided in a wall segment of the socket section.
  • the engaging in the opening projection provides a particularly simple and effective form of Studentsbiegetikes for
  • the protrusion engaging the opening may form a latch for the bushing portion and prevent "unfolding" of the bushing portion.
  • overbend protection is when from at least one side wall segment of the female portion a protective tab emerges, which is bent so that it projects beyond a contact spring arm at least partially.
  • both contact spring arms are protected by protective tabs protruding from side wall segments of the bushing section and at least partially overhanging the contact spring arms or both contact spring arms each have a lateral projection which engages in a corresponding opening in a wall segment of the bushing section ,
  • one contact spring arm has a projection engaging in a wall segment opening, while the other contact spring arm is at least partially surmounted by two protective tabs.
  • This variant of the various types of overbending protection for the two contact spring arms can be implemented in a particularly simple manner in the case of a connecting element designed as a stamped and bent part.
  • a Studentsbiegeschutz for the locking tongue in the region of a free, so seen in the insertion direction, the rear end of the locking tongue is provided.
  • the overbend protection carries So helping to ensure a reliable function of the locking tongue and thus secure locking of the connection element in a housing permanently.
  • the overbending protection for the locking tongue is preferably effective on opposite sides of the locking tongue. This prevents the locking tongue from twisting due to improper use of the connection element.
  • the overbending protection for the locking tongue comprises a wall segment of the bushing section and a projection projecting laterally out of the locking tongue and bent in the direction of the wall segment.
  • the wall segment and the projection are preferably aligned with each other so that the projection is seated on the wall segment when the locking tongue is pressed inwardly, thereby preventing further deformation of the locking tongue.
  • the locking tongue of Matterbiegeschutz includes a protruding from a wall segment of the female portion and inwardly bent support portion.
  • the support portion is bent inwardly so that the locking tongue, when pressed inwards, approximately in the bending state on the support portion is seated, in which a provided on the opposite side of the locking tongue bent projection on an associated wall segment. In this way, it is ensured that the overbending protection unfolds its protective effect simultaneously on both sides of the locking tongue, whereby a twisting of the locking tongue is reliably prevented.
  • Another object of the invention is also a method having the features of claim 12, by which an electrical connection element of the type described above can be produced in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • the electrical connection element shown in the figures is a one-piece stamped and bent part, which is produced by punching out a circuit board 56 from a metal sheet (FIG. 5) and subsequently bending over the circuit board 56.
  • the connecting element comprises a socket portion 10 for receiving a plug contact, which has at its front end an insertion opening 12 for insertion of the plug contact and which at its rear end in a connecting portion formed in the present embodiment as a crimping section 14 for connecting the connection element with an electrical line passes.
  • the bushing section 10 has a substantially rectangular and at least approximately square cross section (FIG. 4).
  • the bushing section 10 comprises an upper contact spring arm 16 which emerges from a rear side of a rear upper wall segment 18 of the bushing section 10 and is turned inwards such that it extends in the direction of the insertion opening 12.
  • the upper contact spring arm 16 is thus hinged at its rear end to the rear upper wall segment 18, while it is supported at its front free end 20 at a located in the region of the insertion opening 12, front upper wall segment 36.
  • the upper justifyfederarm 16 is provided in the region of its front end 20 with a lateral projection 22 which engages in an opening 24 which is formed in a first side wall segment 26 of the female portion 10. By the projection 22 of the upper Whyfederarm 16 is supported in the opening 24.
  • the engaging in the opening 24 projection 22 forms a Koch for the uppermaschinefederarm 16 and prevents the uppermaschinefederarm 16 can be excessively strongly bent outwards and thus damaged in improper insertion of a plug contact in the socket portion 10.
  • the female portion 10 further includes a lower contact spring arm 28 which is attached to a front side of a lower rear wall segment 30 of the Socket portion 10 emerges from this and extends in the direction of the insertion opening 12 (Fig. 3).
  • the lower contact spring arm 28 is thus articulated with its rear end to the socket portion 10, while it is supported at its front free end 32 at a located in the region of the insertion opening 12, front lower wall segment 34 of the socket portion 10 (Fig. 1 and 4).
  • a guide tab 38 protrudes, in order to facilitate a correct insertion of a plug in the socket portion 10 and damage the contact spring arms 16, 28 in the region of their free To prevent ends 20, 32.
  • the contact spring arms 16, 28 initially run towards one another from their rear ends in the direction of the insertion opening 12 and then apart again (FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the contact spring arms 16, 28 thus form a constriction, which forms a contact region 40 for contacting a plug-in contact received in the socket section 10.
  • the lower contact spring arm 28 is provided with a Koch that protects the Kunststofffederarm 28, for example, in case of improper insertion of a plug contact in the socket portion 10, from excessive bending outwards.
  • the overbend protection of the lower contact spring arm 28 is formed by two protective tabs 42 which emerge from an underside of the side wall sections 26 and are bent over so far that they project at least partially beyond the lower contact spring arm 28 in the region of the contact region 40 (FIG. 3).
  • the socket portion 10 also has on its upper side a locking tongue 44, which serves to lock the connection element in a correspondingly designed housing.
  • the locking tongue 44 extends on a side facing away from the guide tab 38 of the front upper wall segment 36 from this and extends to the rear. In order for the locking tongue 44 to latch behind a locking projection of a housing for the connection element, the locking tongue 44 is in the direction of its rear, free end 46 to the outside, i. So up, bent over.
  • the locking tongue 44 extends on the side of the uppermaschinefederarms 16 facing away from the lowermaschinefederarm 28, i. ie outside the upper contact spring arm 16. The locking tongue 44 thus provides some protection for the upper contact spring arm 16 against external influences.
  • the overbend protection comprises a support tab 52, which consists of the first side wall segment 26 emerges and is bent inward so far that its free end 54 is below the locking tongue 44.
  • the support tab 54 on the one hand and the lateral projection 48 and the support portion 50 on the other hand are dimensioned so that the locking tongue 44, when pressed down or inside, at least approximately simultaneously on the support tab 52 and on the projection 48 on the support portion 50 is seated.
  • This two-sided support of the locking tongue 44 a twisting of the locking tongue 44 during depression of the locking tongue 44 is prevented.
  • connection element is a stamped and bent part.
  • a corresponding blank 56 is first punched out of a metal sheet (FIG. 5). Not only the outer contours of the board 56 and openings 24, 58 are punched out, but also cuts 60 made.
  • the portion of the circuit board 56 forming the lower contact spring arm 28 has to be stretched.
  • the portion forming the lower contact spring arm 28 is first offset relative to the portions constituting the front lower wall segment 34 and the support tabs 42, respectively, and then flattened by applying a pressing force.
  • the locking tongue 44 forming portion is stretched or flattened to increase the length of the locking tongue 44 seen in the insertion direction.
  • the flattening of the lower contact spring arm 28 and the locking tongue 44 also advantageously increases its material strength and reduces its rigidity.
  • the board 56 After flattening of the lowermaschinefederarms 28 and the locking tongue 44, the board 56 is bent along the bending lines 62 and brought the connection element in its final form (Fig. 1 to 4).
  • the engaging in the opening 24 of the side wall portion 26 lateral projection 22 of the uppermaschinefederarms 16 serves not only as Studentsbiegeschutz for the uppermaschinefederarm 16, but also as a lock for the female section 10, ie it prevents the female section 10 can open automatically.
