Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a clamping unit of an electrical terminal. Further, the invention is directed to an electrical terminal comprising such a clamping unit.
  • connection terminals which can be plugged onto a pin list with one or more pin contacts, can have conductor connection areas, which can fix a conductor to be connected by tightening a screw.
  • these pluggable screw terminals have the disadvantage that a direct connection of rigid conductors is not possible.
  • the operating cost and thus the conductor connection time in comparison to a spring-loaded terminal, in which the conductor is fixed instead of a screw with a clamping spring larger.
  • terminals are known, which in addition to the clamping spring have a contact tulip as StiftWallet istselement for contacting the pin contact of the pin header.
  • the clamping spring and the contact tulip are usually arranged with each other, as described for example in DE 10 2006 014 646 AI, which leads to an increased space requirement.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a solution by means of which the size of an electrical terminal can be substantially reduced.
  • StiftWallet istselement having a spring arm, which is arranged substantially parallel to the busbar and which is connected via a connecting piece with the busbar.
  • an electrical terminal comprising a clamping unit according to one of claims 1 to 5.
  • a conductor connected in the terminal can be positioned parallel to a pen contact inserted, wherein the inventive design of the terminal both the inserted conductor and the pin contact can rest on the same busbar to form a contact.
  • the inserted conductor is thereby by means of the clamping spring to a first side surface of the busbar clamped and the inserted pin contact is held clamped by means of the spring arm to a second side surface of the bus bar opposite the first side face.
  • the pin contact is held clamped by means of the spring arm, which is directly connected via the connecting piece to the busbar, in that the spring arm presses the pin contact against the busbar.
  • the clamping unit preferably has exactly one spring arm. The provision of two or more spring arms is not required here.
  • both pin contacts with a small diameter and pin contacts with a large diameter can be securely contacted in the clamping unit.
  • the pin contact can be easily inserted into the space between the busbar and the spring arm, wherein the spring arm can rebound as a function of the diameter of the pin contact.
  • the pin contact In the contacting state, d. H . when the pin contact rests against the busbar, the pin contact is preferably over with its longitudinal side surface the entire length of the busbar to the power rail. This allows a particularly long contact area between the pin contact and the bus bar, whereby a long Kontak11inie can be formed for the transmission of electricity.
  • the terminal is characterized in that the plugging direction of the contact pin and the conductor and the operating direction for releasing the conductor are the same.
  • the connector is a bending joint.
  • the flexure allows an improved spring action of the spring arm to achieve a particularly flexible adaptability of the spring arm to the size of the inserted and to be connected pin contact.
  • the connecting piece or the bending joint is in this case preferably formed from a substantially semicircular shaped metal strip, which is arranged at a free end of the spring arm and a free end of the bus bar to connect the spring arm to the busbar.
  • the pin contacting element is integral with the busbar is formed, so that the StiftWallet istselement and the busbar are formed of the same material.
  • the connector and the spring arm are thus preferably as well as the busbar formed of a conductive metal, whereby higher transferable currents can be achieved.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the clamping unit provides according to the invention that the clamping unit has a U-shaped contact pocket, which has a first leg and a second leg opposite the first leg, wherein the second leg forms the busbar.
  • the contact pocket forms a protected on imagining space for the clamping spring and at the same time provides a busbar and in a one-piece design of the busbar with the StiftWallet istselement a StiftWallet istselement available.
  • the clamping pocket is preferably formed entirely of a conductive metal and can be positioned in an insulating housing of a terminal.
  • the clamping spring has a clamping leg and a support leg, wherein the clamping spring rests with its support leg areally on the first leg of the contact pocket. Because the clamping spring with its support leg! flat on abuts the first leg of the contact pocket, the clamping spring is securely positioned in the contact pocket, so that in particular undesirable slipping of the clamping spring can be prevented. In addition, this can increase the clamping force of the clamping spring.
  • a clamping unit 1 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • the clamping unit 1 has a busbar 2, a Kiemmfeder 3 for clamping a conductor not shown here on the busbar 2 and a StiftWallet istselement 4 for contacting a pin contact 5 of a pin header 6, as shown in Fig. 2, on.
  • the Stift Membership istselement 4 has a spring arm 7, which is arranged substantially parallel to the busbar 2 and which is connected via a connecting piece 8 to the busbar 2.
  • the spring arm 7 is formed from a metal band, the longitudinal side surface of the longitudinal side surface of the busbar 2 is opposite. Between the spring arm 7 and the busbar 2 is a Receiving space 9 is formed, in which the pin contact 5 can be inserted, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the Aufnähme syndromem 9 is in a non-use state, ie when no pin contact 5 is inserted, preferably smaller than the diameter of the pin contact to be contacted 5.
  • the spring arm 7 When inserting the pin contact 5 in the Aufnumblemehoffm 9 thereby the spring arm 7 against the spring force to the outside, from the busbar 2 pushed away, so that :; the spring arm 7 can apply a clamping force on the pin contact 5.
  • the introduced into the Aufnähmehoffm 9 pin contact 5 is thereby pressed by the spring arm 7 to the busbar 2, so that the pin contact 5 preferably over the entire length of the busbar 2 on the busbar 2 is applied flat, so that the largest possible contact area between the pin contact. 5 and the bus bar 2 is formed.
  • the spring arm 7 preferably extends over approximately 2/3 of the length of the busbar 2.
  • the spring arm 7 is further connected via the connecting piece 8 integral with the busbar 2, so that the spring arm 7 and the connecting piece 8 preferably made of the same material, a conductive Metal, as the busbar 2 are formed.
  • the connecting piece 8 is a bending joint which is formed from a substantially semicircularly bent metal band and has the same width as the spring arm 7.
  • the connecting piece 8 is arranged at a free end of the spring arm 7 and a free end of the bus bar 2 to the spring arm 7 to connect to the busbar 2.
  • the distance of the spring arm 7 to the busbar 2 can be changed by the spring arm 7 is moved away, for example, from the busbar 2, so that pin contacts 5 with different diameters safely by means of the spring arm 7 on the busbar 2 can be kept in contact.
  • the clamping unit 1 further comprises a U-shaped contact ash 10, which is formed of a conductive metal.
  • the contact pocket 10 is formed from a base plate 11 and a first, preferably bent at right angles to the base plate 11 first leg 12 and a second, preferably bent at right angles to the base plate 11 leg 13.
  • the first leg 12 is formed opposite to the second leg 13.
  • the second leg 13 forms in this embodiment directly from the busbar 2, so that an additionally designed as a busbar 2 component is no longer necessary.
