Definitions
- the invention relates to a contact element and a distribution strip for communication and data technology.
- Telecommunications and data technology known comprising a housing and wire connection contacts, wherein first wire connection contacts from an upper side of the housing and second wire connection contacts are accessible from a bottom of the housing, wherein the first and second wire connection contacts are each part of one-piece first and second contact elements, each one Connecting web and a contact leg, wherein in each case a contact leg of a first contact element and a contact leg of a second
- Contact legs is, the angle is preferably 45 °.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of providing a contact element and a distribution strip, which allow a more compact design.
- the contact element comprises an insulation displacement contact and a contact leg to form a release contact, wherein the plane of the contact leg is at an acute angle to the plane of the insulation displacement contact, wherein the insulation displacement contact via a support point and a connecting web is connected to the contact legs, wherein between the insulation displacement contact and the support point, a web is arranged, which is twisted.
- the rotation is taken from the connecting web and already performed immediately behind the insulation displacement contact.
- Cutting clamp contact can be made shorter. Another advantage is that the unwound contact elements have no outwardly facing chamfers, so that the contact elements according to the invention can be produced material-saving from a metal sheet.
- the web is twisted by 45 °. It should be noted that the angle of 45 ° and angles of ⁇ 5 ° as tolerances
- the contact leg is slightly chamfered, so that the plane of the contact leg has an acute angle of intersection with the plane of the insulation displacement contact, which is slightly greater than 45 °.
- the plane through the isolating contact itself is then but again
- the web is narrower at its widest point than the junction of the insulation displacement contact and the support point with the web.
- the web is formed symmetrically to the connection points. This can for example be formed trapezoidal or convex or concave.
- this is simply rectangular.
- the length to width ratio of the rectangle is 2: 1 to 5: 1, which is a good compromise between
- the connecting web is arcuate, which improves the spring action.
- the support point is T-shaped
- the wider section can serve for clamping the contact element in a housing of a distribution strip.
- the connecting web tapers to the contact leg and forms a stop edge. This stop edge can then be used as clamping of the contact element in the housing. This restraint can replace or supplement the restraint at the support point.
- the distributor strip according to the invention comprises at least partially the contact elements described above.
- 1 is a representation of a developed contact element
- 2 is a perspective view of a contact element
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of two contact elements which form a release contact
- FIG. 4 is an illustration of a mounting situation of the contact elements in a housing lower part of a distribution strip
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the contact element according to
- Fig. 7 is a perspective view of two contact elements which form a break contact and
- FIG. 8 shows an illustration of an installation situation of the contact elements in a housing part of a distributor strip.
- the contact element 1 comprises a
- Insulation displacement contact 2 a web 3, a support point 4, a connecting web 5 and a contact leg 6. This is the
- a base edge 7 of the insulation displacement contact 2 is a connection point between the insulation displacement contact 2 and web 3.
- An upper edge 8 of the T-shaped support point 4 represents the connection point between the web 3 and supporting point 4.
- the web 3 is rectangular shaped.
- the ratio of length L to width B is approximately 3: 1.
- the width B of the web is smaller than the width of the base edge 7 and the top edge 8.
- the connecting web 5 is in the
- Trapezoidal contact leg 6 connects.
- the finished bent contact element 1 is shown, wherein in Fig. 3, two contact elements 1 are shown, which together form a separating contact parts 9.
- the web 3 is twisted by 45 °, so that now is a plane El of the insulation displacement contact 2 at an angle of 45 ° to a plane E2 of the support point 4.
- a plane E3 is shown, which represents a tangential plane to the arc of the connecting web 5.
- the plane El and E2 are perpendicular to the plane E3.
- the contact leg 6 is then guided obliquely upward, i. a plane E4 through the lower part of the contact leg 6 is not perpendicular to the plane E3. Therefore, the planes El and E4 are not at an angle of 45 ° to each other, but at an acute angle.
- Support point 4 serves, as the name implies, for supporting the contact element on a housing wall of a distributor strip 20.
- FIG. 4 such a distribution bar 20 is partially shown, wherein an unillustrated housing upper part is removed.
- the distributor strip 20 has a lower housing part 21 by the contact elements. 1
- a chamber 22 is bounded laterally by two blocks 23.
- the blocks 23 have a cuboid shape, wherein a cavity 24 is centrally, in order to avoid injection molding material accumulations.
- a block 23 is formed with a T-shaped element 26, so that at all four corners of the chamber 22, a groove 25 is formed. In each case two grooves 25, the wider part of the T-shaped support member 4 is then inserted and thus the contact element 1 is clamped. It is shown on the left in Fig. 4, as three
- Figs. 5 to 8 is an alternative embodiment of a
- Contact element 1 shown wherein like elements are identified by the same reference numerals.
- the basic structure of the contact element 1 is equal to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the differences are in the structure of the support member 4 and the connecting web 5.
- the support member 4 is formed shorter and rectangular shaped.
- the connecting web 5 tapers towards the contact leg 6, so that a stop edge 27 is formed. This stop edge 27 serves to clamp the contact element 1. Accordingly, side walls 28 of the blocks 23 or wall elements
- the contact element 30 also has an insulation displacement contact 31, a connecting web 32 and a contact leg 33. This contact element 30 is used when the insulation displacement contacts 2, 31 at
- a chamber 22 is not bounded laterally by two blocks 23, but by a respective block 23 and a wall element 35, both of which each have the indentations 29 on their side walls 28. Furthermore, ribs 37 in the region of the separating contact parts 9 arranged on the wall elements 35, which serve the leadership and stability.
- two contact elements 1 according to FIG. 6 can be used in pairs, so that then all the insulation displacement contacts 2 are accessible from one side of the housing (analogously to FIG. 6
