Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact socket for receiving a contact pin, which has a connection region and a plug-in region, wherein the insertion region consists essentially of a cylinder body which includes a cavity which is provided for receiving an electrical contact pin, wherein the cylinder body has axial slots through the contact tongues are formed for contacting the electrical contact pin.
  • a contact socket forms the outer contact of a plug connection and is provided for receiving a contact pin.
  • Contact bushes with elastic contact tongues which extend in the longitudinal direction of the bush, are known that the contact pins require only a small insertion force.
  • Such connectors are mainly used in high-current applications.
  • the DE 10 2007 029 968 A1 shows a contact socket of a plug connector, which is preferably used in strongly vibrating areas, for example in the automotive sector.
  • the contact socket comprises a contact inner part which has a plurality of inwardly directed contact tongues.
  • the inner contact part is clamped in a over-spring, which is arranged in a metal bushing.
  • the metal bushing makes electrical contact with a conductor wire.
  • a cylindrical contact socket which has previously been punched out of a sheet and then rolled up cylindrical.
  • the contact socket has contact tongues which are bent radially inwards.
  • the contact tongues are surrounded by a cylindrical sleeve. There is a cavity between the radially bent contact tongues and the sleeve.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a contact socket for a contact pin whose reeds provide a constant contact force over a long period of use.
  • the contact tongues are bent in its central region radially inwardly, so that the sleeve takes the form of a double truncated cone, so that the sleeve exerts a force on the contact tongues, which is directed orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the contact tongues, and in that the contact tongues have radially outwardly directed lugs along the circular insertion opening, by means of which the sleeve is fixed immovably.
  • the contact socket according to the invention consists of a cylinder body in which a bore is introduced axially.
  • the depth of the hole delimits the plug-in area from the connection area of the contact socket.
  • the cavity, the formed by the bore, forms in the connection region of the contact socket a receptacle for a contact pin.
  • connection area is provided with axial slots through which the contact tongues are formed for contacting the contact pin.
  • the slots extend axially in the direction of the connection region of the contact socket.
  • the depth of the slots is less than the depth of the bore, so that a part of the contact pin is covered within the socket by an unslotted cylinder jacket part.
  • the contact tongues are bent in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the contact socket, that is to say in the radial direction of the cylinder body, in order to produce a contact contact with the contact pin.
  • the contact tongues are bent in the end region, ie in the region of the plug tip, or in the middle region in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the contact bush.
  • the contact tongues are covered with a sleeve, which is modeled on the bending of the contact tongues. This means that the contact tongues fit positively against the inner surface of the sleeve. In other words, the contact tongues contact the inner surface of the sleeve along its entire axial extension direction.
  • the sleeve is made of an elastically deformable material. By inserting the contact pin in the contact socket, the contact tongues are slightly pressed radially outward. This pressure is also transmitted to the sleeve, so that the relaxation of the spring force of the contact tongues - and thus a loss of contact between the socket and plug - is prevented.
  • the sleeve exerts a force on the contact tongues, which is directed orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the contact tongues.
  • the sleeve serves here - in addition to the curved contact tongues - as an additional resilient element and supports the spring action of the contact tongues.
  • the sleeve is formed from a bent sheet metal.
  • the sleeve forms the shape of a truncated cone.
  • the sleeve has the shape of a double truncated cone.
  • the tips of the contact tongues directed towards the plug-in tip have lugs which fix the sleeve immovably on the connection region of the contact socket.
  • the contact socket according to the invention After insertion of the contact pin in the socket, the inner surface of the contact tongues - in the area in which the Kantaktzept are bent radially inwardly - on the contact pin.
  • the area in which contact tongues and contact pin touch is called the contact surface.
  • the contact socket according to the invention there is only one area in which the individual contact tongues touch the contact pin. Therefore, there is also only one contact transition, namely said contact surface between the individual contact tongues and the contact pin. For this reason, the contact socket according to the invention has a low electrical contact resistance to the contact pin.
  • the sleeve which covers the contact tongues, consists of a different material as the contact tongues.
  • the sleeve consists of spring band material (spring steel). This material ensures that the contact force between the contact pin and contact tongue is large enough and remains constant.
  • the Zylinder stresses- and thus the contact tongues - made of brass.
  • Brass is an inexpensive material, so that the contact socket can be made very cheap.
  • the cylinder body may choose a copper material, such as a copper-nickel-phosphorus alloy.
  • a copper material such as a copper-nickel-phosphorus alloy.
  • this material have the contact socket and the associated contact pin has a particularly low electrical resistance.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a first embodiment of a contact socket.
  • the contact socket 1 has a connection region AB, to which an electrical cable 9 can be connected in a manner not shown here.
  • the contact socket 1 has a plug-in region SB, which is formed from a cylinder body 10, in which an axial bore is introduced. The bore forms a cavity 6, which serves to receive a contact pin, not shown here.
  • the cylinder body 10 is slotted in the axial direction, ie along the longitudinal axis 7 of the bushing.
  • the slots 8 delimit individual contact tongues 4 from each other.
  • the contact tongues 4 are at their ends (in the insertion region of the contact socket) towards each other (ie radially inwardly) bent so that the adjacent contact tongues touch and form a circular insertion opening 11.
  • the diameter of this circular insertion opening 11 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the contact pin, so that Upon insertion of the contact pin, a contact between this and the individual contact tongues 4 is formed.
  • a sleeve 5 is arranged, which rests positively on the contact tongues 4.
  • the sleeve is formed from a bent sheet metal.
  • the narrow sides of the bent sheet include a slot 12.
  • the material of the sleeve 5 is made of spring plate and supports the spring force of the contact tongues. 4
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the first embodiment of the contact socket 1.
  • the individual contact tongues 4 have in their end region 3 lugs 4a, each having an orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 7 directed undercut 4b, which projects beyond the diameter of the sleeve 5. As a result, the sleeve 5 is fixed on the contact tongues 4.
  • FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of a second embodiment of the contact socket 1.
  • the contact tongues 4 are bent here in the central region 21 radially to the longitudinal axis 7 out.
  • the sleeve 5 is also here form-fitting manner on the contact tongues 4. Therefore, the sleeve 5 is barrel-shaped in this embodiment inwardly. Geometrically, the shape of the sleeve 5 can be described as a double truncated cone.
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the second embodiment of the contact socket 1.
  • the lateral surface of the sleeve 5 is curved inward, so to speak concave.
  • the barrel-shaped (or double truncated cone) shape of the sleeve 5 can be seen particularly well.
