Definitions

  • the invention is based on a contact element for the direct electrical contacting of a contact surface on a printed circuit board according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Control devices usually consist of a printed circuit board on which electronic components are placed, and a housing.
  • a male connector is usually mounted on the circuit board to make the electrical connection between a harness connector and the circuit board.
  • the male connector thus represents an additional component in the assembly of the control unit.
  • EP 1 786 067 A1 is an electrical connection device with a fork contact for attachment to a power rail as a mating contact for establishing an electrical connection with the mating contact known.
  • the object of the invention is to increase the robustness in a generic contact element.
  • contact element 1 is used for direct electrical contacting a contact surface ("land") 2 on a printed circuit board 3 and is usually in the insertion direction 4 in a contact carrier 20 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) plugged in.
  • the contact element 1 comprises a plug-in direction 4 at the front plug-in section 5 and a rear terminal portion (eg crimping section) 6 for connecting an electrical line 7.
  • the contact element 1 is integrally formed by a metal sheet whose two opposite side edges 8 in the plug section 5 each once to the same Side folded or folded and run with their outer edge edges 9 parallel to each other. Between the two two-ply side edges 8, the plug-in section 5 has a single-layer central section 10 . At the two Outside edge edges 9 is for direct electrical contact of a contact surface 2 each outwardly projecting Giriervorsprung (or contact point) 11 formed by the folded side edge 6 is plastically deformed by a lateral embossment 12 in the folded side edge 8.
  • the two two-ply side edges 8 and the single-ply middle section 10 together form a running in the insertion direction 4, laterally open guide or coding groove 13 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) out.
  • the coding groove 13 is arranged centrally and the plug-in section 5 is mirror-symmetrical with respect to its longitudinal center plane 14 . All edges of the contact element 1 are preferably embossed round in order to avoid damage to the mat seal when passing through a mat seal.
  • the electrical line 7 may be posted centrally or off-center on the connection section 6. In the latter case, with a distance (pitch) of 1 mm from contact element 1 to contact element 1, the associated electrical lines 7 with a diameter of about 1 mm can be arranged in two planes and in this way, as in Fig. 11 shown to be unbundled on two levels.
  • a plurality of contact elements 1 are inserted into corresponding contact chambers 21 of the contact carrier 20.
  • the contact chambers 21 have alternately on the one or the other lateral chamber wall projecting guide ribs 22 which cooperate with the Kodiernuten 13 of the contact elements 1, so as to orient the contact elements 1 within the contact chambers 21 selectively rotated by 180 °.
  • the contact elements 1 each mirrored "back to back".
  • the central portion 10 additionally has a rearwardly extending housing tongue (latching tongue) 31 which protrudes on the side opposite the folded side edge 6 side of the plane of the central portion 10.
  • Fig. 3 is the housing tongue 31 straight, in Fig. 4 once bent (cranked) and in Fig. 5 Bent in an S shape.
  • the rearwardly extending housing tongue 31 does not hinder the passage of the contact element 1 in the insertion direction 4 through a sealing mat (not shown), but is at most deflected during insertion into the plane of the central portion 10, as in Fig. 4 indicated by dashed lines.
  • the housing tongue 31 forms a latching lance in order to lock the contact element 1 inserted into the contact carrier 20 in the insertion direction 4 in the opposite direction of insertion 4.
  • the in Fig. 3 Shown housing tongue 31 also omitted. By means of the remaining opening, the contact element 1 can then be latched via an element on the contact carrier.
  • the center is the housing tongue 31 in the in Fig. 6 shown contact element 1 arranged off-center, so that here the contact elements 1 are not mirror images "back to back".
  • Fig. 7a shown contact element 1 in that here the folded side edges 8 each have a laterally open recess 70 , which, seen in the insertion direction 4, an undercut edge or an undercut 71 forms and the folded side edges 8 each in a front and a rear folded side edge portion Splits.
  • the contact elements 1 inserted into the contact carrier 20 can be individually latched therein or locked together.
  • the side edges 8 are folded symmetrically, so that the coding groove 13 extends centrally.
  • FIGS. 7c, 7d is opposite Fig. 7b production-optimized contact element 1 shown, in which the front and the rear folded side edge portion are connected by a web 72 to increase the robustness of the contact element 1 against kinking.
  • the turned-over side edges 8 and the crimping section 6 are offset parallel to each other via a connecting portion 73 located therebetween, the side edges 74 are folded over in order to increase the robustness of the connecting portion 73 against kinking.
  • the upper side edge 74 may be connected to the folded upper side edge 8.
  • the side edges 8 turned over so that a gap 75 between the folded side edges 8 and the central portion 10 remains.
  • the folded side edges 8 abut with their inwardly bent marginal edges 76 at the central portion 10 in order to stabilize the folded side edges 8. Furthermore, the gap 75 of the folded-over upper side edge 8 may be closed at the front end of the contact element 1 in the insertion direction 4 by a bent portion 77 of the upper side edge 8 in order to prevent damage to the mat seal.
  • Fig. 8a Shown are the margins 8 of the in Fig. 7 shown contact element 1 several times turned inside and folded on each other.
  • the central portion 10 has a U-shaped cross section in order to stiffen the contact element 1, in particular in the region of the recess 70 and the coding groove 13 form.
  • the side edges 8 can also be folded by rolling, as in Fig. 8c is shown.
  • FIGS. 9a, 9b show another contact element 1, which like the in FIGS. 7b-7d shown contact elements two different width, ie asymmetric, folded side edges 8 and an off-center coding groove 13 has.
  • this off-center coding groove 13 in cooperation with guide ribs 22 of the contact chambers 21 allows the Inserting the contact element 1 only in a single orientation in the contact chamber 21 of the contact carrier 20th
  • the contact carrier 20 is preceded by a Kodierplatte 91 with Kodieraussparungen 92 which allow the fitting of the contact chambers 21 of the contact carrier 20 only in a predetermined orientation of the contact elements 1 based on the off-center coding groove 13.
  • the coding of the contact elements 1 is already possible on the coding plate 91 and thus already during insertion of the contact elements 1 in the connector, so before the contact elements are inserted through the mat seal and are in the contact carrier 20.
  • the coding groove 13 may also be arranged off-center.
  • the folded lower side edge 8 forms a stop for the deflection of the locking lance 31 inwards.
  • the side edges of the connecting portion 73 may be folded over or turned over in order to increase the robustness of the contact element 1 against kinking.
  • the latching tongue 31 is deflected inwardly on a chamber wall 21a of the contact chamber 21 during insertion of the contact element 1 into the contact chamber 21 of the contact housing 20 until the latching tongue 31 can engage behind an outwardly recessed contact edge 23 of the contact chamber 21.
  • the housing tongue 31 shown can also be dispensed with, so that an opening remains with which the contact element 1 in the contact carrier 20 can be latched.
