Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact element for a terminal, in particular for a circuit board terminal and a terminal.
  • a terminal usually has several poles on each of which a lead wire can be fixed by clamping action in a conductive connection to a contact element for forwarding an electrical signal. From the contact element, the electrical signal is then tapped usually by one or more fixed or detachable conductive connections. Each pole of a terminal thus corresponds to a clamping element and the entire terminal is composed of several such clamping elements.
  • terminals for connecting a plurality of lead wires in general and circuit board terminals for connecting a plurality of lead wires to printed circuit boards in particular, it is often the case that two or more terminal members of the terminal are to be electrically connected to each other. This is usually done by a U-shaped bent piece of wire or a U-shaped stamped part is inserted and clamped in the nip.
  • the problem with this approach is that at least one of the connected terminal points additionally a connection wire must be connected, so that at this point two elements must be clamped.
  • a secure contact between the two elements can not be regarded as guaranteed, for example, because the diameter of U-shaped Wire piece or stamped part on the one hand and lead wire on the other hand differ from each other. Particularly vulnerable have proved because of their particularly robust, cost-effective to produce and extremely comfortable in handling clamping mechanism widely used spring clips.
  • each contact elements for a terminal known, which are designed as stamped and bent part that recesses for receiving a jumper and a clamping means for fixing a terminal pin have.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a contact element for a terminal, in particular for a circuit board terminal, a terminal and a jumper for a terminal, with the connection of poles of the terminal is flexible, needs and cost possible.
  • the core idea of the invention is to implement a contact element for a terminal as a stamped and bent part, in which at least a first clamping means for fixing a jumper and a second clamping means for fixing a terminal pin are integrated.
  • first and second clamping means are an integral part of the stamped and bent part and the corresponding sections of the stamped and bent parts are optionally provided with a suitable mechanical bias.
  • a separate terminal contact for a jumper is provided, via which different contact elements can be short-circuited to each other, while at the same time ensures an optimal clamping action for pin and electrical conductor on all terminal contacts.
  • the inventively designed, multifunctional contact element can be in a single process step, namely by performing the stamping bending process, easily and inexpensively.
  • the stamped and bent part has a cage-like structure, since then, for example, a force flow introduced into the contact element by an additional clamping spring arranged as a separate part in the contact element can be closed.
  • the first clamping means has at least one clamping leg, for example, a insertable between clamping leg and a wall or a second clamping leg contact fingers of a jumper in the inserted state by a clamping action on a fixed to the clamping leg side surface of the contact finger.
  • a particularly secure clamping connection guaranteeing embodiment of the first clamping means provides that the at least one clamping leg a structure, e.g. an undercut or a bulge into which a corresponding bulge or an undercut of a contact finger can be accommodated.
  • Such clamping means can be provided very easily by punching out a corresponding shape from a sheet metal strip.
  • a wide usability in a single embodiment of the contact element can be achieved if the second clamping means is designed for the insertion of the terminal pin from three different spatial directions.
  • the contact element is further improved if it additionally has a test contact surface which makes it possible to check the signal currently applied to this component.

This ensures that its own and thus adapted to the particular requirements of each plug contact terminal point is available for each provided plug contact.
  • the insulating housing has at least one locking device with which it is fixable to a housing or a printed circuit board.
  • variable and retrofittable electrical connection of at least two clamping elements of such a terminal is particularly suitable jumper and in particular a jumper, which is in the mated state in each case with the first clamping means of the contact elements of the respective clamping elements in clamping connection.
  • the jumper for a contact element advantageously has a front part and at least two contact fingers. It is particularly easy to handle, if the front part is at least partially angled. In order to allow a safe removal of the jumper at all just applied to the contact element voltages, it is very useful if the front part is at least partially covered with an insulation.
  • the jacket can be achieved by an attached plastic part or by an overmolded part.
  • a particularly secure hold of the jumper is achieved if the at least one of the contact fingers has a bulge or an undercut, whereby a Verrastungsrial in the associated clamping means is achieved in particular if they have a corresponding undercut or a corresponding bulge.
