Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact for receiving a mating contact and a method for producing such a contact and its attachment to a cable according to the features of the preambles of the independent claims.
  • Such connectors which relate in particular contactless contactless systems are, for example, from DE 10 2006 002 774 . DE 10 2006 014 156 . DE 10 2006 060 238 or DE 10 2006 014 086 known.
  • Connectors having, for example, a contact on the female side and a male contact on the male side are known.
  • the contact on the socket side is designed to be in operative connection with a mating contact of the plug, z. B. formed as a contact pin to be brought into operative connection.
  • a contact for receiving a mating contact wherein the contact has a arranged at one end of a cable contact housing, which is contacted with an electrical conductor of the cable, wherein a compression spring is provided, wherein the compression spring is formed so that it on the contact housing and acts on the mating contact via at least a part of the contact housing.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a contact for receiving a mating contact and a method for producing such a Kotaktes and its attachment to a cable that produced quickly and efficiently in large quantities with simplified manufacturing process and achieving the required contact reliability over its lifetime can be.
  • the object is achieved in that a compression spring is provided, wherein the compression spring is designed so that it acts on the contact housing and at least a portion of the contact housing on the mating contact and on a first joint is added to the contact housing, wherein furthermore the electrical conductor is attached to a spaced apart from the first joint further joint on the contact housing
  • the two spaced apart, the distance may be only a few millimeters, joints allow either the compression spring and the electrical conductor can be added to the contact housing either in the same manufacturing step or it is alternatively possible that first the compression spring the contact housing is added and in a further step, the electrical conductor is attached to the contact housing (or reverse sequence). So it is possible, for example, that one and the same manufacturer produces both the contact, more precisely: the contact housing, and attaches the compression spring to the contact housing in the same step or in two successive steps and also the contact (attachment) of the electrical conductor also on the Contact housing makes.
  • the first manufacturer to make the contact housing and attach the compression spring and deliver that part to another manufacturer who then attaches the appropriately prepared cable with its electrical conductors to the contact housing ,
  • the two separate, i. spaced joints also have the advantage that both the joints and the respective joining process can be adapted to the materials and material thicknesses to be joined.
  • the joining process in the respective material pairings can be fitted to appropriate manner.
  • identical or different joining processes are preferably welding or soldering into consideration, depending on the material or material thickness, other joining processes are conceivable.
  • the two joints are on the same side of the contact housing.
  • the contact housing after its manufacture can be used in a holder and the two Assemblies are accessible from the same side either at the same manufacturer or in chronological order at different manufacturers, so that both the compression spring and the cable with its stripped electrical conductor from the same side (eg from above) are accessible, which is a supply of these components much easier in the direction of the contact housing.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 as far as shown in detail, a three-dimensional view ( FIG. 1 ) as well as a section ( FIG. 3 ) of a contact 1 for receiving a mating contact, wherein the contact 1 is arranged at the end of a cable 2 with a non-designated outer jacket, wherein furthermore the cable 2 has an electrical conductor 3.
  • a contact housing 4 is arranged, in which case this contact housing 4 is advantageously designed as a socket box and is a stamped and bent part. This stamped bent part is as a settlement in FIG. 3 shown.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are shown prepared. This trained as a female connector housing 4 made of an electrically conductive material receives a mating contact, wherein to increase the contact force and to ensure a permanent contact when in the contact housing 4 of the mating contact is used, a compression spring 5, which according to the embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2 is elongated and has approximately a waveform.
  • This compression spring 5 is added in a first manufacturing step in its end to a first joint 6 of the contact housing 4 at this, in which case the electrical conductor 3 of the cable 2 has not yet been added to the contact housing 4.
  • the attachment of the electrical conductor 3 at a second joint 7 of the contact housing 4 is carried out either at the same manufacturer in a second step or in a second step at a further manufacturer.
  • the contact housing 4 has at least one, preferably two, crimp wings 8 in the end region of the cable 2 fixed there, which loop around the outer jacket of the cable 2. This also causes a strain relief acting on the contact 1 tensile or compressive forces.
  • the contact 1 arranged on the cable 2 is also inserted into an outer housing, not shown, so that it is advantageous that with the crimp wings 8 not only the outer sheath of the cable 2 but also a seal 9 arranged on the outer sheath of the cable 2 is looped around and fixed there, wherein the seal 9 seals the contact 1 relative to the outer housing, thereby a longitudinal water tightness is realized.
  • the mating contact which is insertable into the contact housing 4, is provided with the reference numeral 10. It is designed for example as a contact pin of a mating contact.
  • the reference numeral 11 denotes a spring tab, which protrudes from the contact housing 4 and engages in a corresponding recess or a corresponding stop in the outer housing of the connector formed thereby or comes to rest in order to realize a primary lock.
  • This primary locking causes in a conventional manner that the contact 1 in the outer housing, which For example, can be made of plastic in an injection molding process is determined.
  • the attachment of the compression spring 5 takes place on the contact housing 4 and the attachment of the electrical conductor 3 to the contact housing 4 in one and the same step or in two temporally successive steps.
  • the end of the electrical conductor 3 in the event that the electrical conductor 3 is a circular conductor is plated prior to attachment to the contact housing 4.
  • This plating of the electrical conductor 3 prior to attachment to the contact housing 4 can then be omitted if the joining process is designed so that by executing the joining process, the previously round electrical conductor 3 (eg a stranded conductor) is subsequently clad, so that in any case Execution of the joining process to achieve a compact design, the end of the electrical conductor 3 in the region of the second joint 7 is plated.
  • the process of plating the electrical conductor 3 can then be omitted if the cable 2 is a ribbon cable and the electrical conductor 3 is a corresponding flat conductor.
  • connectors and mating connectors can also be designed so that they are initially plugged together a piece and then the compression spring 5 is actuated by a projection or the like when plug connectors and mating connectors have been plugged into their final position. It is of particular advantage that the mating contact 10 is first inserted (plugged) almost without friction and therefore almost no effort in the contact housing 4 and only then the contacting force (external force, pressure force) is applied via the compression spring 5 as described above when the mating contact 10 is in its end position in the contact housing 4.
