Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a direct plug-in element for contacting an exposed electrical contact, in particular an electrical contact of a printed circuit board, with spring regions arranged on both sides on the direct plug-in element.
  • the direct plug-in element according to the invention for contacting an electrical contact with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that a contact-safe contacting of the exposed electrical contact is possible.
  • the direct plug-in element according to the invention is suitable for a miniaturized design without having to compromise on contact safety.
  • the direct plug-in element according to the invention a resilient direct contact, which is electrically connected to a cable, with a first and second Has spring area.
  • the direct contact has a substantially U-shaped configuration, wherein each one of the spring portions is arranged on a first or second leg of the U-shaped direct contact.
  • at least one of the spring regions is designed as a contact region in order to carry out an electrical contacting of the electrical contact of a counterpart component.
  • the first spring portion of the direct contact comprises a spring bow, that is, a spring portion of an arcuate shape which is the contact portion of the first spring portion.
  • the direct contact with the first and second spring region is preferably designed as a one-piece component.
  • the first spring region comprises a first spring bow and the second spring region comprises a second spring bow, wherein both spring arcs are set up as contact regions.
  • the two spring arcs have the same geometric shape. This makes it possible that a 180 ° rotation of the direct contact is possible in a Be Publishedungsvorgang of the direct plug with the direct contacts without a faulty assembly occurs. This is particularly important if the direct plug element has only very small dimensions, so that the direct contacts also have only very small dimensions and it makes considerable effort to perform a proper alignment of the contact prior to assembly. Thus, it is also not necessary that coding elements must be provided on the direct contact in order to ensure proper alignment of the direct contact prior to assembly. Therefore, according to the invention, the direct plug-in element can be provided very inexpensively.
  • the two spring arches are formed symmetrically to a median plane.
  • the second spring region is set up in a plugged state of the Direct plug to contact and bias a free end of the first spring portion.
  • the second spring region is particularly preferably a punched-out partial region of the direct contact, wherein a spring force of the second spring region is directed in the same direction as that of the first spring region.
  • the direct contact further comprises a stop which limits a spring travel of the first spring region.
  • a stop which limits a spring travel of the first spring region. In this way, in particular overpressing of the first spring region during the assembly of the direct plug-in element can be avoided. Also protects the stop in a mating operation against unwanted suppression of the first spring area. Furthermore, the spring characteristic of the first spring portion is stiffened.
  • a distance of the first spring region on the first leg to a second leg is at least twice as large as a distance of a free end of the first spring region to the second leg. This ensures that the first spring portion has a sufficiently large spring travel, so that a greater tolerance compensation is possible. Furthermore, an undesired plastic deformation of the first spring region can be avoided. In this way, a multiple contact with the direct plug-in element, as is necessary for example in applications in the vehicle sector by multiple installation and removal, are possible.
  • the direct plug-in element may include a plurality of series-formed, directly-formed, direct contacts for direct contacting of a plurality of contacts to a carrier plate, such as a die. a circuit board.
  • the present invention is preferably used in vehicles, in particular for direct contacting of control devices.
  • the direct plug-in element 1 of the first embodiment comprises a direct contact 2, which is electrically connected to a cable 7.
  • the direct contact 2 is arranged in a housing 3.
  • the direct contact 2 is further formed symmetrically to a plane E and comprises a first spring portion 4 and a second spring portion 5.
  • the Direct contact 2 in this case has a substantially U-shaped configuration, the first spring region 4 being provided on a first limb 21 and the second spring region 5 on a second limb 22.
  • the two spring portions 4, 5 have a same geometric shape, wherein the first spring portion 4 a spring bow 41 and the second spring portion 5 comprises a spring bow 51.
  • a point contact 40, 50 is provided at the turning points of the spring arcs 41, 51.
  • the point contact can be made for example by means of a stamping process from the material of the spring bow 41, 51.
  • FIG. 1 how farther FIG. 1 it can be seen, is the first spring portion 4 via the point contact 40 on the first spring bow 41 with an electrical contact 60 in contact.
  • the electrical contact 60 is arranged exposed on a printed circuit board 6, so that a direct contact through the point contact 40 is possible.
  • the direct contact 2 of the first embodiment has two spring portions, so that a fitting of the direct plug-in element 1 with the direct contacts is easily possible, since the direct contact can be rotated by 180 ° and still be properly mounted. As a result, the direct contact is particularly advantageous for miniaturization of the direct plug connection.
  • FIG. 3 shows a direct plug-in element according to a second embodiment not according to the invention, wherein identical or functionally identical parts with the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are designated.
  • the direct plug-in element 1 of the second embodiment in which the housing is not shown for reasons of simplification, comprises a substantially U-shaped direct contact 2 with a first spring portion 4 and a second spring portion 5.
  • the first spring portion 4 is similar to the first embodiment with a spring bow 41 formed.
  • the second spring portion 5, however, is made as a punched-out area of the material of the second leg 22 of the direct contact.
  • the second spring portion 5 is punched out such that a first spring force F1 of the first spring portion and a second spring force F2 of the second spring portion 5 in the same direction are directed (see FIG. 3 ).
  • the first leg 21 of the direct contact is formed such that a free end 21a of the first leg is located near the second spring region 5.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 is a direct plug-in element 1 according to a third embodiment not according to the invention, shown, wherein the same or functionally identical parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.
  • a housing is also omitted in the direct plug-in element of the third embodiment, so that only the direct contact 2 of the direct plug-in element is shown.
  • the direct contact 2 again has a substantially U-shaped configuration.
  • the direct contact 2 comprises the direct contact 2 on the first leg 21, the first spring portion 4, which has a spring bow 41 and a free end 21a.
  • the free end 21a is inserted into a circumferentially closed box mold 23 of the direct contact.
  • the direct contact 2 is formed in one piece and also has a contact region 24 which, as shown in FIG. 6 becomes clear, serves as a contact surface for the first leg 21 in the contact state of the direct contact.
  • the first spring region 4 is formed such that in sauking istsSullivan (in FIG. 4 shown) a distance A1 of the spring bow 41 to the second leg 22 at least twice as large as a distance A2 of the free end 21 of the first leg 21 to the second leg 22 (see also the representation of the distances in FIG. 6 ).
  • This measure avoids, in particular, a plastic deformation of the first spring region 4 during the contact phase, so that damage to the direct contact, even after repeated insertion and withdrawal, can be avoided in conjunction with the contact surface 24.
  • a spring force F1 of 2 N or greater can be obtained.
  • a coding for example a region protruding perpendicularly from the box shape 23, can also be provided on the side of the first spring region 4. As a result, a miniaturization of the direct contact 2 is possible without assembly errors are to be expected.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 is shown in dashed lines the shape of the direct contact in the unplugged state.
  • FIG. 5 then shows the first leg 21 in a state (21 '), in which the first leg 21 just abuts against a counterpart of the electrical contact and
  • FIG. 6 then shows the first leg 21 in the fully inserted state (21 "), in which the direct contact of the electrical contact takes place.
  • the second spring region 5 of the direct contact is further arranged on the second leg 22 such that a spring force F2 of the second spring region 5 is directed against a spring force F1 of the first spring region. Furthermore, the direct contact 2 of the third embodiment, two walls 25, 26 which are spaced apart from each other so that between the two walls 25, 26 of the first leg 21 can dive during direct contacting.
  • the direct contact 2 of the third embodiment is preferably provided as a one-piece component.
