  • the screw has an oval cross section and the shaft has a round or rounded cross section or vice versa and the screw has a round cross section and the shaft has an oval cross section.
  • the smallest diameter of the oval cross section is shorter and the largest diameter of the oval cross section longer than the diameter of the round cross section, so that when introducing the screw locally material is displaced elastically, which after passing through the screw at least substantially again elastically deformed. As a result, the screw is reliably received by the securing device in the shaft.
  • the shaft wall preferably consists at least partially of an insulating material.
  • the shaft wall is thin-walled in order to increase the elasticity.
  • the shaft wall can be of thin-walled construction and can be surrounded radially at least in sections by a trench or the like which preferably extends deeper from the surface than the distance between the securing device and the surface.
  • a trench or the like which preferably extends deeper from the surface than the distance between the securing device and the surface.

  • the shaft wall preferably has a phase on its outer side in the region of the securing device.
  • the shaft is at least partially made of an insulating material.
  • the screw is equipped with an enlarged screw head and a shaft with a threaded section.
  • the securing device In the depth of the shaft extends behind the securing device preferably a central portion of the shaft, in which the screw or the screw head is fully circumferentially with game accepted, so that the securing device forms an undercut, which extends over an angular portion or more angular portions or even around extending the shaft around.
  • the shaft is formed round in this central portion of the shaft and there, the inner circumference of the shaft is significantly larger than the outer circumference of the screw head and the screw.
  • the connecting flange according to the invention allows the captive capture of screws with significantly reduced requirement for accuracy of manufacture, so that a more cost-effective production with higher quality is possible.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of the connecting flange 1 according to the invention shown, which comes in particular for use on electrical terminals.
  • the terminal may serve to receive one or more conductors and be provided for example at one or both ends of the housing with a connecting flange according to the invention, in order to fasten such a terminal to a further component.
  • the invention for securing a conductor to a terminal.
  • the connecting flange 1 has a housing 2, in which a shaft 3 is provided, in which the screw 4 is received, as can be seen in particular from the illustration Fig. 2 results.
  • Fig. 2 is the cross section AA from Fig. 1 shown.
  • the housing 2 and in particular the shaft wall 5 of the shaft 3 are here in the embodiment made of an elastic material and in particular consist of a thermoplastic material that can be elastically deformed.
  • FIG. 2 shows the screw 4 shown only schematically, which is equipped with a screw head 24 and with a threaded screw shaft 25.
  • the screw 4 is captively received in the shaft 3 of the housing 2, so that the in Fig. 2 shown state 7 results in which the screw is taken captive and especially in the non-bolted state.
  • the shaft wall 5 a safety device 6, which is designed in the manner of an undercut and causes the free diameter of the shaft 3 at least one point is smaller than the corresponding diameter of the screw 4 at this point.
  • the largest diameter of the screw 4 has a different cross section than the smallest cross section of the shaft 3, while the circumferential lengths of the largest screw cross section and the circumferential length of the smallest shaft cross section are at least approximately matched. This has the consequence that the smallest shaft diameter is greater than the smallest screw diameter, so that the screw 4 is taken captive in the shaft 3 after sweeping the securing device 6.
  • Fig. 4 can be removed, in which the largest cross-section 9 of the screw 4 and the free cross section 8 of the securing device 6 are shown, can be removed, here is the largest diameter 9 of the round here screw head 24 is larger than the smallest diameter 19 of the dashed lines shown and

  • the length of the inner circumference 10 of the securing device 6 is adapted to the length of the outer circumference 11 of the screw 4 or here the screw head 24.
  • the length of the inner periphery of the securing device 6 is slightly larger than the length of the outer periphery 11th the screw head 24, so that an elongation of the entire circumference of the securing device 6 during insertion the screw 4 is reliably prevented, because in such cases, this can lead to damage to the component.
  • the difference of the circumferential lengths may be several percent e.g. 5% or 10% or even 15%. It is essential that the shaft wall 5 can locally deform when sweeping the screw head 24, so that in the elastic deformation substantially a bending and no overstretching of the shaft wall 5 takes place.
  • the width of the connecting flange 1 is about 5.4 mm, while the free diameter 20,21 and 22 are equal and about 3.9 mm.
  • the free diameter 19 in the region of the securing device 6 is smaller and is here 3.65 mm, while the shaft wall 5 in the region of the accessible end 13 also has a free diameter 18 of 3.9 mm. This means that, in the area of the securing device 6, the free diameter 18 is conditionally reduced by the holding ribs 14 of the securing device 6 from 3.9 to 3.65 mm. Thus, a slight insertion of the screw is made possible in the accessible end 13 of the shaft 3 until the screw abuts the securing device 6.
