Definitions

  • the invention relates to a current-conducting connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such connectors are widely used, either as a cable cord, be it for the connection of components, be it for power supply.
  • Such connectors are made relatively large and they require a large and high installation space.
  • such connectors must be attached to the attachment to a printed circuit board at the top and bottom, making further insertion of the board is difficult.
  • a current-conducting connector in the form of a busbar is known, which can be used in components with pin-type plug-in connections, in particular for connecting the contacts of a battery.
  • resilient legs are provided on the individual plates or more plates with different sized receptacles on the busbar. Springing legs make it difficult to provide the largest possible insulation envelope.
  • Several plates increase the connector to an undesirable extent.
  • EP0825658 A2 shows a current-conducting connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to make a connector for connecting two components, in particular two LED strips, so that it has a low profile, does not protrude over the components on the board, that when connecting components a geometric length compensation is given.
  • vibration should be given security against solution. Nevertheless, should be possible, if necessary, a detachable connection of the connector from the top of the component from.
  • the metal part of the connector is designed as a contact carrier plate which is provided with at least one receptacle, through which a pin-type plug-in connection can be guided in each case perpendicular to the contact carrier plate.
  • the contact carrier plate up the receptacle, surrounded with an insulation sheath.
  • the insulation sheath allows to easily provide a flat pin-type connector on a component with the connector.
  • a detachable connection with the component is given.
  • the connector does not protrude over the component with the component.
  • the insulation sheath and thus the connector comprises a plurality of adjacent contact carrier plates with receptacles arranged separately from one another. Each contact carrier plate is used for power transmission with respect to a specific phase or pole.
  • each contact carrier plate is provided with an extension tongue leading from the insulating sheath, to which a flexible electrical lead can be fastened.
  • this extension tongue it is possible to use the connector as a feeder for power supply for a component, since there is an immediate electrical connection via the feeder to the provided with plug-in components.
  • the connector is provided at the second end of the flexible feed line, a further insulation sheath with a contact carrier plate, to which the supply line can be connected.
  • a bridging to different components is obtained, so that even a longitudinal distance can be changed variably.
  • the flexible supply allows an alignment of different components to each other.
  • the insulation sheath with adjoining contact carrier plate serves to connect two components designed as LED strips.
  • the LED strips are provided with pin-type plug-in connections, which are insertable into the recordings.
  • Such a design allows a quick attachment of the connector to the components.
  • a secure determination which is still solvable, is provided. Vibration and shock resistance is given.
  • the LED strips with connector and insulation sheath are the same height.
  • the ends of the pin-like connections protrude out of the insulation sheath, so as to visually see that there is a correct connection.
  • the insulation sheath carries more than two contact carrier plates for connection of lines with an arbitrary number of poles, so that such a connector can be used in many ways. It is also advantageous if the insulation envelope is designed as a film which is provided on the top and bottom of the contact carrier plates, in this case the longitudinal sides of the films are welded, so that the contact carrier plate is securely held. In addition, a low overall height of the connector is achieved in such a construction arrangement, which is finally still of importance here, that such a connector is also elastic.
  • the insulation sheath is formed as an encapsulation to form a rigid enclosure.
  • a secure fixing of the components is carried out quickly and easily.
  • the attachment and the solution of the connector of the component is easily possible.
  • At least one of the receptacles arranged on the contact carrier plate has a shape seen in plan view of the receptacles extended form for increasing the central distance of two adjacent receptacles.
  • the extended shape of the receptacle can hold the plug connection securely even if not centered.
  • the elongated shape can be created for example by an oval shape of the receptacle for secure mounting of the connector.
  • the latching tongues projecting into the receptacles are offset relative to the imaginary connecting line of two receptacles. The staggered position of the locking tongues allows even with a tolerance of the distance of the plug connections to the connector compensation.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a connector, in which the contact carrier plates are punched over a metal strip and / or etched that the metal strip is rolled, that the tape is inserted in an injection mold and the contact carrier plates with a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic To be encapsulated elastomer and then cut out of the metal band, the different contact carrier plates with enclosure as needed.
  • a plastic in particular a thermoplastic To be encapsulated elastomer and then cut out of the metal band, the different contact carrier plates with enclosure as needed.

  • the contact carrier plate 26 extends to both ends of the connector 24th
  • Fig. 4 the contact carrier plate 26 is shown in perspective. Images 28 in the contact carrier plate 26 can be clearly seen.
  • the receptacles 28 are provided with a latching tongue 29. This contacts the vertical plug-in connector 23, so as to provide a holder in the connector 24 and to ensure a power transmission, it being ensured that even with vibration, the holder is guaranteed.
  • the insulation sheath 27 is placed or injected, according to Fig. 6 two contact carrier plates 26 are provided side by side, but do not touch.
  • the contact carrier plate 26 still carries an extension tongue 30, to which a supply line can be fastened.
  • This extension tongue 30 is provided with a supply line. It is designed so that the connector 24 is formed either as a feeder or as a flex connector, so as to increase the field of application of the connector 24 yet. In addition, the contacting or power transmission to the supply line to the contact carrier plate 26 should be ensured.
