Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical terminal system, in particular for automotive applications, comprising an elongated terminal and a wire or cable attached thereto as well as a method for the production of such an electrical terminal system.
- Electrical terminal systems comprising a terminal having a contacting portion for electrical connection and a mounting part for the attachment of a cable or wire are known from the art.
- cable denotes a single conductor comprising a conducting wire or wires and an insulating sheath surrounding and insulating the wire or wires.
- wire denotes the conductive core of the cable and may consist of one or more wire strands.
- the terminal is commonly formed of bend and stamped metal sheet.
- the terminal is formed integrally from a piece of metal sheet, which can be folded at one end in the form of a box to receive an end of a separate contact pin, or is shaped so that it is adapted to connect with a second terminal counterpart, and on the other end it is provided with means for connecting a cable or wire, respectively surrounded by an insulating sheath.
- the cable or wire is mechanically and electrically connected at one end to the terminal and at the other end for example with some kind of power source or electrical device or similar.
- the other end of the cable or wire is usually connected to airbag control means for triggering the airbag inflation.
- a usual practice to achieve electrical connectivity between a cable and a terminal consists in fitting the terminal with end sleeves which are crimped around the wire strands of the cable.
- gas could be entrapped inside the crimped connection and further the crimped elements may tend to "spring back", what can create fluctuations of the overall connection electrical resistance, at an eventually unacceptable level for critical applications. This can be overcome by welding or brazing the wire to the terminal instead of crimping.
- the shape of a stranded wire termination is usually not well defined, since the individual strands spread randomly around the wire axis. For this reason, the welding of such wire strands is difficult, since when e.g. the welding electrode presses the strand bundle onto the terminal portion to be welded with, the electrical contact area is not well defined. Therefore the welding power is changing from a terminal to another for the same tuning of the welding apparatus and during a welding operation the heat generation is not evenly spread over the welding area, so that some individual strands receive more heat than others. For these reasons the welding quality may not be satisfying.
- Such electrical terminal systems i.e. the terminal and the respective wire or cable connected therewith, are mass products so that production costs and the reliability of the manufacturing process with respect to quality and the reduction of defective products is of high importance.
- the compacted and essentially solid portion of the stranded wire has an essentially rectangular cross section, most preferably a square cross section.
- Compacting advantageously but not necessarily in a rectangular shape, allows well defined and constant shapes and dimensions of the stranded wire, which in turn allows stable welding characteristics. The location of the wire relative to the terminal and the welding electrode is accurate.
- the elongated terminal is formed from a piece of metal sheet.
- the preferred material for the terminal is copper alloy.
- the terminal has a metal sheet frame, at the end of which the contacting portion is folded in the form of a box to receive e.g. a separate connector pin.
- the welding portion of the elongated terminal has an essentially semi-circular cross section forming an open rounded channel for the reception of the essentially solid portion of the compacted stranded wire. Due to this half-shell shape, which is semi-circular, an easy positioning of the wire relatively/within the terminal is possible. For resistance welding it is required that the electrode, at least at the beginning of the welding process, reaches the wire without contacting the metal sheet of the terminal.
- dimensions of half-shell shape and compacted wire are adapted so that the upper face of the compacted wire projects above upper face of the half -shell.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for the production of an electrical terminal system according to claim 4.
- Fig. 1a shows a schematic view of a terminal 10 comprising a cable connecting end 11 having two fixing flanges 14, which are shown in their bent position after fastening on the insulating sheath of a cable (not shown).
- the cable is first inserted between the flanges 14 which are then crimped around the outer insulating sheath of the cable.
- Terminal 10 further comprises a welding portion 12 in the form of a rounded open channel.
- the cross section of the channel can best be seen from figure 1b (see hatched area), which is a sectional view seen along the line A-A of figure 1a .
- Terminal 10 is further provided with contacting portion 13 into which for example a separate connector pin may be inserted.
- terminal 10 is made from a piece of stamped and bend metal sheet, preferably from a piece of copper alloy or the like.
- Fig. 2a shows a cable 20 comprising a stranded wire 22 and an insulating sheath 21 formed around the stranded wire 22 to electrically insulate the same from the environment.
- the stranded wire 22 comprises for example a number of single strands 24 (see fig. 2b ), for example between ten and twenty strands.
- the insulating sheath 21 is removed from the end of cable 20.
- the portion of the stranded wire 22 where the insulating sheath is removed is then compacted and welded into an essentially solid portion 23. This is preferably achieved by compacting and resistance welding of the strands.
- Figure 2b shows a cross section of the compacted and resistance welded strands 24. As can be seen from the figure almost all the surfaces of the single strands 24 are bounded together.
- Figure 3 shows a schematic view of an electrical terminal system 3 before welding the wire 20 on the terminal 10 according to the invention.
- the terminal 10 is further provided with a separate contact pin 15 for inserting into e.g. a female counter part (not shown). It is of course also possible to provide the electrical terminal 10 in form of a female terminal, into which a pin of a corresponding male counterpart can be inserted.
- the cable 20 is mounted to the terminal 10 and mechanically fastened to the same by means of the flanges 14, which are bent or crimped around the cable 20 respectively around its insulating sheath 21.
- the cable 20 is arranged such that the compacted solid portion 23 of the stranded wire is arranged in the welding portion 12 of terminal 10.
- Figures 4a and 4b show a sectional view of the terminal system 3 shown in figure 3 .
- the cross section of the welding portion 12 (see hatched area) is essentially semi-circular and has the form of an open rounded pipe.
- the solid portion 23 rests in the rounded channel of the welding portion 12. Since the solid portion 23 has preferably a square cross section a space 40, 40' remains between the inner channel wall of welding portion 12 and the two lateral side walls of portion 23.
- the solid potion 23 is welded to the walls of the terminal 10 by means of, for example, spot resistance welding or a welding seam in order to achieve a good electrical continuity therebetween. It is also possible to use a brazing operation instead of welding.
- Figure 2c shows the wire 23 with a wall of the welding portion 12 of the terminal after welding. Due to the pressure of electrode on the wire 23 during welding, the wire is squeezed together with the walls of the welding portion of the terminal to a more or less flat cross-sectional shape.
- the electrode For resistance welding it is required that the electrode reaches the wire without contacting the metal sheet of the terminal.
- the upper face of compacted wire 23 projects above the upper face of the half-shell of the welding portion wall.
- the half-shell may have been cut sufficiently low.
- the resulting terminal has to be rigid enough.
- the welding portion 12 complies nevertheless with this requirement because the wire and metal sheet hold firmly together after welding.
- the front and rearward zones of the welding portion 12 are reinforced, i.e. the walls of contacting portion 13 are e.g. higher to increase the cross section, with an as short as possible slope portion in the transition zone between the welding and the contacting portions.
- the welding power is well defined and better spread over the welding area so that a better and manageable welding quality can be achieved.
- the figures show the embodiments in an enlarged view.
- the length of the terminal 10 is for example in the range of a few centimeters, for example 2 to 4 cm, and the strength of the metal sheet from which the terminal is made of is in the range of 0,1 to 0,5 mm, preferably around 0,2 mm.
- the solid portion 23 may have a length in the order of 1 cm, for example 0,3 to 1 cm, and a thickness of maybe 0,5 mm up to 2 mm.

Description
- The invention relates to an electrical terminal system, in particular for automotive applications, comprising an elongated terminal and a wire or cable attached thereto as well as a method for the production of such an electrical terminal system.
- An electrical terminal system according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in
US 2004/08857 A1 . - Electrical terminal systems comprising a terminal having a contacting portion for electrical connection and a mounting part for the attachment of a cable or wire are known from the art. As used herein, the term cable denotes a single conductor comprising a conducting wire or wires and an insulating sheath surrounding and insulating the wire or wires. The term wire denotes the conductive core of the cable and may consist of one or more wire strands. The terminal is commonly formed of bend and stamped metal sheet. Typically, the terminal is formed integrally from a piece of metal sheet, which can be folded at one end in the form of a box to receive an end of a separate contact pin, or is shaped so that it is adapted to connect with a second terminal counterpart, and on the other end it is provided with means for connecting a cable or wire, respectively surrounded by an insulating sheath. The cable or wire is mechanically and electrically connected at one end to the terminal and at the other end for example with some kind of power source or electrical device or similar. In the case of for example airbag ignition systems the other end of the cable or wire is usually connected to airbag control means for triggering the airbag inflation.
- A usual practice to achieve electrical connectivity between a cable and a terminal, consists in fitting the terminal with end sleeves which are crimped around the wire strands of the cable. However gas could be entrapped inside the crimped connection and further the crimped elements may tend to "spring back", what can create fluctuations of the overall connection electrical resistance, at an eventually unacceptable level for critical applications.
This can be overcome by welding or brazing the wire to the terminal instead of crimping. - The shape of a stranded wire termination is usually not well defined, since the individual strands spread randomly around the wire axis. For this reason, the welding of such wire strands is difficult, since when e.g. the welding electrode presses the strand bundle onto the terminal portion to be welded with, the electrical contact area is not well defined. Therefore the welding power is changing from a terminal to another for the same tuning of the welding apparatus and during a welding operation the heat generation is not evenly spread over the welding area, so that some individual strands receive more heat than others. For these reasons the welding quality may not be satisfying.
- Still further, such electrical terminal systems, i.e. the terminal and the respective wire or cable connected therewith, are mass products so that production costs and the reliability of the manufacturing process with respect to quality and the reduction of defective products is of high importance.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an electrical terminal system which reduces the above described problems and drawbacks and which is in particular cost efficient to produce. Another object of the invention is to get a more constant and better quality welding of a wire (or wires) with a terminal.
- According to the invention an electrical terminal system according to claim 1 is provided.
Preferably, the compacted and essentially solid portion of the stranded wire has an essentially rectangular cross section, most preferably a square cross section. Compacting, advantageously but not necessarily in a rectangular shape, allows well defined and constant shapes and dimensions of the stranded wire, which in turn allows stable welding characteristics. The location of the wire relative to the terminal and the welding electrode is accurate. - In one embodiment of the invention the elongated terminal is formed from a piece of metal sheet. The preferred material for the terminal is copper alloy. In a most preferred embodiment the terminal has a metal sheet frame, at the end of which the contacting portion is folded in the form of a box to receive e.g. a separate connector pin. In the invention the welding portion of the elongated terminal has an essentially semi-circular cross section forming an open rounded channel for the reception of the essentially solid portion of the compacted stranded wire. Due to this half-shell shape, which is semi-circular, an easy positioning of the wire relatively/within the terminal is possible.
For resistance welding it is required that the electrode, at least at the beginning of the welding process, reaches the wire without contacting the metal sheet of the terminal. As an advantageous solution to this end, dimensions of half-shell shape and compacted wire are adapted so that the upper face of the compacted wire projects above upper face of the half -shell. - Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for the production of an electrical terminal system according to claim 4.
- In the following, the invention is described exemplarily with reference to the enclosed figures, in which:
-
Fig. 1 a is a schematic illustration of a terminal. -
Fig. 1 b is a cross sectional view as seen from the line A-A; -
Fig. 2a is a schematic illustration of a cable comprising a stranded wire. -
Fig. 2b is a cross sectional view of a compacted and welded portion of the stranded wire; and -
Fig. 2c is a schematic cross sectional view of a wire and a terminal wall after the same have been welded together. -
Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of an electrical terminal system according to the invention. -
Fig. 4a is a sectional schematic view of the electrical terminal system shown infigure 3 . -
Fig. 4b is a schematic front view of the terminal system offigure 4a . -
Fig. 1a shows a schematic view of aterminal 10 comprising acable connecting end 11 having twofixing flanges 14, which are shown in their bent position after fastening on the insulating sheath of a cable (not shown). For mounting a cable and theterminal 10, the cable is first inserted between theflanges 14 which are then crimped around the outer insulating sheath of the cable.Terminal 10 further comprises awelding portion 12 in the form of a rounded open channel. The cross section of the channel can best be seen fromfigure 1b (see hatched area), which is a sectional view seen along the line A-A offigure 1a .Terminal 10 is further provided with contactingportion 13 into which for example a separate connector pin may be inserted. As the skilled person understands fromfigure 1a ,terminal 10 is made from a piece of stamped and bend metal sheet, preferably from a piece of copper alloy or the like. -
Fig. 2a shows acable 20 comprising a strandedwire 22 and an insulatingsheath 21 formed around the strandedwire 22 to electrically insulate the same from the environment. The strandedwire 22 comprises for example a number of single strands 24 (seefig. 2b ), for example between ten and twenty strands. As can best be seen fromfigure 2a the insulatingsheath 21 is removed from the end ofcable 20. The portion of the strandedwire 22 where the insulating sheath is removed is then compacted and welded into an essentiallysolid portion 23. This is preferably achieved by compacting and resistance welding of the strands.Figure 2b shows a cross section of the compacted and resistance weldedstrands 24. As can be seen from the figure almost all the surfaces of thesingle strands 24 are bounded together. -
Figure 3 shows a schematic view of anelectrical terminal system 3 before welding thewire 20 on the terminal 10 according to the invention. The terminal 10 is further provided with aseparate contact pin 15 for inserting into e.g. a female counter part (not shown). It is of course also possible to provide theelectrical terminal 10 in form of a female terminal, into which a pin of a corresponding male counterpart can be inserted. Thecable 20 is mounted to the terminal 10 and mechanically fastened to the same by means of theflanges 14, which are bent or crimped around thecable 20 respectively around its insulatingsheath 21. Thecable 20 is arranged such that the compactedsolid portion 23 of the stranded wire is arranged in thewelding portion 12 ofterminal 10. -
Figures 4a and 4b show a sectional view of theterminal system 3 shown infigure 3 . As can be seen from the figure the cross section of the welding portion 12 (see hatched area) is essentially semi-circular and has the form of an open rounded pipe. Thesolid portion 23 rests in the rounded channel of thewelding portion 12. Since thesolid portion 23 has preferably a square cross section aspace 40, 40' remains between the inner channel wall of weldingportion 12 and the two lateral side walls ofportion 23. - The
solid potion 23 is welded to the walls of the terminal 10 by means of, for example, spot resistance welding or a welding seam in order to achieve a good electrical continuity therebetween. It is also possible to use a brazing operation instead of welding.Figure 2c shows thewire 23 with a wall of thewelding portion 12 of the terminal after welding. Due to the pressure of electrode on thewire 23 during welding, the wire is squeezed together with the walls of the welding portion of the terminal to a more or less flat cross-sectional shape. - For resistance welding it is required that the electrode reaches the wire without contacting the metal sheet of the terminal. To this end, as can be seen on
figure 4b , the upper face of compactedwire 23 projects above the upper face of the half-shell of the welding portion wall. To that effect, the half-shell may have been cut sufficiently low. In any case, after welding the resulting terminal has to be rigid enough. Thewelding portion 12 complies nevertheless with this requirement because the wire and metal sheet hold firmly together after welding. The front and rearward zones of thewelding portion 12 , as seen onfigure 1 a , are reinforced, i.e. the walls of contactingportion 13 are e.g. higher to increase the cross section, with an as short as possible slope portion in the transition zone between the welding and the contacting portions. - Due to the use of a compacted wire portion with a well defined shape, the welding power is well defined and better spread over the welding area so that a better and manageable welding quality can be achieved.
- It should be noted, that the figures show the embodiments in an enlarged view. In reality the length of the terminal 10 is for example in the range of a few centimeters, for example 2 to 4 cm, and the strength of the metal sheet from which the terminal is made of is in the range of 0,1 to 0,5 mm, preferably around 0,2 mm. The
solid portion 23 may have a length in the order of 1 cm, for example 0,3 to 1 cm, and a thickness of maybe 0,5 mm up to 2 mm.
