Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plug bridge and a method for producing a plug bridge.
- the present invention relates to a connector bridge for a safety plug according to British Standard BS 1363, as well as a method for producing such a connector bridge.
- a jumper in the transition region between a power cord and a power outlet is used as a component of a plug.
- the plug bridge has on its front side a plurality of plug pins, by means of which the plug bridge can be inserted into the socket, wherein the plug pins make electrical contact with the contact springs located in the socket.
- the plug pins are connected, for example, with a protective conductor, a neutral conductor and an outer conductor or with corresponding wires of the connection or power cable.
- the plug bridge is usually provided on its back with a handle body.
- This handle body may be formed as a separate component in the form of a removable housing or produced by molding the connector bridge by means of an electrically insulating plastic.
- connector bridges In the automated production of connector bridges are usually punched metal sheets as electrical conductors for contacting the connector pins used. These metal sheets are usually reshaped, whereby individual areas of the metal sheets are inserted through corresponding recesses in a base plate of the plug bridge. In order to enable the mountability, it is necessary that the recesses in the base plate are slightly larger than the outer dimensions of fürzusteckenden areas of the metal sheets. In the assembled state, therefore, there are gaps between the edges of the recess and the metal surfaces through which moisture can penetrate from the outside under unfavorable circumstances. Due to the moisture inside the plug or on the Plug bridge the creepage distances shortened, so that it can lead to short circuits during operation.
- each plug can not be completely encapsulated with an insulating body, for example because parts of the plug bridge must be accessible from the outside.
- an electrical fuse usually a microfuse, which is arranged in a fuse chamber in the plug. In order to replace a broken fuse, this fuse chamber must be easily accessible from the outside, thereby increasing the risk of moisture entering the plug or the plug bridge.
