Definitions

  • the invention relates to a symmetrical electrical contact for mutual contacting, formed from a contact body, with a contact side and a terminal end to be inserted into a plug body for a detachable contacting of connectors, for the transmission of high-frequency signals.
  • Such a symmetrical contact is needed for a detachable plug-in connection, in which high-frequency signals must be transmitted as smoothly as possible.
  • the invention is therefore the object of such a form a symmetrical electrical connector contact for the transmission of high-frequency signals that are reduced to a minimum, regardless of the insertion depth of the contacts, reflections and propagation delays of the signals.
  • This object is achieved in that the contact side formed from the contact body, symmetrically shaped spring legs, that at the free ends of the spring legs opposite inwardly facing contact points are provided with contact zones, and that the contact crests are formed narrower than the spring legs in relation to the material thickness of the contact body in the contact direction to the contact zone.
  • the electrical contacts are formed from a contact body having a contact side and a terminal end, wherein the contact side is provided with two molded, symmetrical spring legs with opposite contact tips having rounded contact zones.
  • the contact tips similar to a circular section shaped as a shoulder, with a thinner material thickness than the general material thickness of the spring leg or the contact body.
  • the spring legs opposite terminal end of the contact body is provided with a 90 ° to the spring legs angled solder pin, ie transverse to the insertion direction, and has a soldering surface for a Surface soldering on.
  • the soldering pin is angled at 45 ° to the surface of the contact body.
  • a plug body is advantageously provided, in which the symmetrical, electrical contacts can be used.
  • the plug body has intersecting, rectangular-shaped chambers for receiving the electrical contacts. Wherein one of the chamber is provided for latching each of an electrical contact, while the second chamber has only a certain insertion depth into which the electrical contact of a mating connector equipped with the same contacts can be inserted.
  • the spring legs of the electrical contacts facing the plug side are advantageously guided at least halfway into sub-chambers, which are formed in at least one longitudinal wall penetrating the plug body. The spring legs are guided almost to the contact points in the sub-chambers.
  • a single symmetrical electrical contact 1 is shown, which is formed from a stamped metallic contact body 4, with a contact side 3 and a terminal end. 5
  • the contact body 4 is slightly trapezoidal in shape, on the tapered side of the contact side 3 is provided with U-shaped spring legs 13, at the ends opposite, symmetrically shaped contact zones 16 are arranged on contact blades 15. Wherein the contact blades 15 are formed parallel to the contact zones 16 and narrower by means of a shoulder 17 than the remaining material thickness of the spring legs 13. Wherein the paragraph 17 may have different lengths.
  • connection side 5 is formed by an integrally formed, freed soldering pin 10 which is angled relative to the contact body 4 by about 45 ° in the punching direction of the contact 1.
  • soldering pin 10 is held on a molded onto the wider side of the trapezoidal connector 7, wherein the connecting part 7 but is designed to be narrower than this trapezoidal side.
  • connection part 7 a so-called undercut 8 is formed on both sides of the connection part 7, for locking the contact 1 in a plug body 20th
  • the soldering pin 10 is formed integrally on one of the vertical sides of the connecting part 7 and arranged horizontally below the connection part 7 and has a slightly offset soldering surface 11.
  • Fig. 2 an embodiment is also provided in which the contact blades are formed in a variant of an electrical contact 1 'by means of a bevel 18, thus narrowing from the material thickness of the spring legs 13 to the contact zone 16.
  • FIG. 3 two plugged electrical contacts 1 are shown.
  • the two symmetrical contacts are rotated in the direction of insertion by 90 ° to each other and put together.
  • the function of the oblique transition zone 14 between the spring legs 13 for widening the contact tips 15 on the material thickness of the contact body 4 can be seen.
  • the contact blades 15 are pushed with the contact zones 16 almost to the mutual stop of the electrical contacts at the transition zones 14 each on the other contact 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows how two electrical contacts 1, 1 are plugged together, at a time before the contact zones 16 contact the other contact body. That is in the Fig. 1 indicated by the line 4 - 4, at the height of which are approximately the two contact zones 16 of the electrical contacts.
  • the electrical contacts shown here are designed in the geometry of the contact caps 15 such that they do not touch during the mating process.
  • the contact blades 15 are narrower than the spring legs 13, so that during the mating process no mutual contact takes place and the contact tips 15 are only bent apart with the pushing of the contact zones 16 on the slope 14 between the spring legs 13 to each other on the contact body 4 to contact.
  • Fig. 5 is the time shown, in which two electrical contacts 1 'are plugged together, which instead of the paragraph 17 have a slope 18 on the contact tips 15 between the spring legs 13 and contact zones 16, and at the time when the two contact zones 16, the transition zone 14 reach before the contact blades 15 and widen the contact body 4 contact. That is in the Fig. 1 indicated by the line 5-5, at the height of which are approximately the two contact zones 16 of the electrical contacts.
  • the Fig. 6 shows a section of the plug body 20 in which a number of symmetrical, individual electrical contacts 1 are inserted in two rows.
  • 20 offset rectangular chambers 23 are provided on the solder side 22 at 45 ° to the longitudinal direction of the plug body 20, which are guided to the mating side 21 of the plug body and in which the electrical contacts 1 are inserted and latched.
  • a latching is achieved by means of the undercut 8 of the contact body 4 in a corresponding recess within the chamber 23.
  • the inserted contacts are now led out with 90 ° laterally to the longitudinal direction of the plug body due to the offset by 45 ° chambers 23 and their bent by 45 ° solder pins 10.
  • FIG. 7 a section of the mating side 21 of the plug body 20 is shown.
  • the mating side 21 shows a series of electrical contacts 1, which are aligned at an angle of 45 ° to the longitudinal direction of the plug body 20 in the chambers 23.
  • the chambers 23 intersecting chambers 24 can be seen, in which the electrical contacts 1 of a mating connector are inserted, for mutual, intersecting contact.
  • the rectangular chambers 24 are formed only in accordance with the maximum insertion depth of the mating side of the contacts 1 of the mating connector within the plug body 20.
  • Fig. 8 is shown in a section a plug body 20 with electrical contacts 1 arranged therein.
  • the electrical contacts 1 are inserted from the soldering side 22 into the chamber 23 passing through the plug body 20 and latched by means of the undercuts 8.
  • the space provided for the mating connector, or its electrical contacts 1 chamber 24, which intersects the chamber 23, is carried out only with a limited insertion depth, so that the contact tips 16 of an electrical contact 1, always contacting the contact body 4 of the other electrical contact 1 , whereby nearly optimal electrical transmission properties are also achieved for high-frequency signals in a plug connection.
  • a variant of a plug body 25 is in the Fig. 9 shown.
  • the sub-chamber 28 is a one-sided extension of the rectangular chamber 23 from the plug body 20 already shown.
  • the other half of the spring leg 13 lies in a corresponding sub-chamber 29.
  • the sub-chamber 28 is formed to better guide the already inserted spring leg 13 in the connector body 25 is narrower than the sub-chamber 29, in which the electrical mating contact, crossed, still insert is.
  • In a two-row contact row of the plug body 25 at least three continuous longitudinal walls 26, 26, 27, wherein in the longitudinal walls 26, the respective sub-chambers 28, 29 angled at 90 °, are formed.
