Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact element for a connector according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the contact element of this known prior art also has a first base part, however, this base part is provided with two wave crests.
  • the first base part is associated with a second base part, also with two wave crests.
  • a detent spring material layer is added, with which the contact element is fixed in a contact chamber of a connector.
  • a connector is constructed such that it has a housing having at least one, usually a plurality of contact chambers. In these contact chambers contact elements are used and locked once in this contact chamber, often twice.
  • the contact element itself is arranged at the end of an electrical line, wherein an electrical conductor of the line is electrically contacted with the contact element, for example by soldering, crimping or the like.
  • the contact element in a contact region, has a resilient contact geometry for a mating contact element, wherein this contact geometry is duplicated.
  • this contact geometry has a wave-shaped course.
  • the wave-shaped course of the resilient contact geometry is symmetrical (viewed in section of the contact element) is formed. This advantageously increases the contact reliability to a significantly greater extent than if contact points of a wave-shaped course of a contact geometry are facing one another in such a way that the one wave crest is fixed and the other crest which lies opposite is resilient.
  • the contact region is formed by a base part, from which a first resilient contact part extends, and a second stationary base part, from which a second resilient contact part extends, wherein the two base parts connected to each other via a perpendicular thereto aligned connecting part are.
  • this embodiment has the advantage that such a contact element can be produced quickly, inexpensively and efficiently in a conventional method, such as, for example, a punch-bending method.
  • this makes it possible to realize a contact geometry that is significantly improved over the prior art by forming two fixed base parts, on each of which a resilient contact part protrudes, and the two base parts are connected to one another via a connection part aligned perpendicular thereto.
  • an angled region is provided at one end of the second base part. With this angled region, the contact element is fixed at least once in the contact chamber of the connector when it is moved in there, in particular pushed into it. As a result, the assembly of such an improved connector can continue to improve.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show, as far as shown in detail, a contact element 1 for a connector.
  • a contact element 1 is made of an electrically conductive material, for example in a stamping-bending process of a sheet-like starting material.
  • the contact element 1 has a crimping region 2, with which it is struck on an electrical conductor of a line.
  • the outer sheath of the conduit is passed between two wings 3, which are bent after the determination of the electrical conductor in the crimping area 2, in order to provide a strain relief in this way.
  • the crimping region 2 it is conceivable not to electrically contact the electrical conductor with the contact element or not only by a mechanical crimping process but also by other methods, such as by soldering.
  • the wings 3 for the purpose of strain relief can, but need not be present.
  • the contact element 1 has a contact region 4, which is designed as follows.
  • a fixed first base part 5 is present, which in its axial extent may have transversal slots, but need not.
  • a first resilient contact part 6 is present. This first resilient contact part 6 is realized for example by a Umbiegevorgang.
  • a second fixed base part 7 is present. On the second fixed base part 7, on the one hand, a second resilient contact part 8 is provided. Also, the second fixed base part 7 can have in its axial course at least one or more transverse thereto aligned slots.
  • Both the first base part 5 and the second base part 7 are thus fixed to each other, also with respect to the entire contact element 1, since they are connected to each other via a vertically aligned connecting part 9.
  • the two contact parts 6, 8 are resiliently formed such that they extend with their one end, starting from the first base part 5 and the second base part 7 in the interior of the contact area 4 inside. This extension is realized in that a lug-shaped structure is bent by the base parts 5, 7 in about 180 °, so that thereby the contact parts 6, 8 arise.
  • the respective free end of the contact parts 6, 8 can be limited by the associated areas of the fixed base parts 5, 7.
  • the two contact parts 6, 8 are designed wave-shaped, due to this design two wave peaks arise, each forming a contact point 10 for the mating contact element.
  • the one base part namely the second base part 7, still has an angled region 11 in its one end region. Through this area 11, a kind of detent is formed, with which the contact element 1 is fixed in a contact chamber, not shown, in a connector, also not shown.
  • FIG. 1 is protruding from the angled portion 11, a projection provided which engages in an opening of the connecting part 9.
  • FIG. 2 shows in section the contact area 4 according to FIG. 1 , wherein schematically a contact pin 12 is shown as a mating contact element.
  • this contact pin 12 is present within the entire contact area 4 and is contacted electrically due to the contact points 10.
  • the mating contact element, in particular the contact pin 12 come into contact area 4 between the contact points 10 to the plant is due to the wave-shaped geometry and the resilient configuration of the contact parts 6, 8 causes these come with their free end portions on the one hand to a stop 13 on the first fixed base part 5 and the other to a stop 14 of the second fixed base part 7 to the plant.
  • the contact forces increase when the mating contact element, in particular the contact pin 12, is located completely in the contact region 4.
  • the mating contact element is preferably located completely in the contact region 4, when its free end is the second (when viewing the FIG. 2 the right wave crest with the associated contact points 10) has swept over.
  • the contact pin when viewing the FIG. 2 is introduced from left to right in the contact area 4 and first the first, that is, when looking at the FIG. 2 the left contact point 10 sweeps over. If it is further introduced into the contact region 4, it also passes over the right contact point 10, wherein at the beginning of the insertion of the contact element into the contact region 4, the free ends of the two contact parts 6, 8 did not yet come to rest against the stops 13, 14.
  • the contact element according to the invention is characterized, on the one hand, by having a crimping region, with which it is struck against the electrical conductor of the line.
  • the contact element according to the invention has a contact geometry for a mating contact element, wherein this contact geometry is duplicated.
  • This contact geometry in particular for a contact pin as a mating contact element has a wave-shaped course, wherein the waveform is selected so that two peaks in the direction of the mating contact element, in particular the contact pin, and thus these peaks lie against the mating contact element.
  • a latching element is formed by the contact region, with which the contact element in the contact chamber of the Connector is arranged latching.
  • the two mutually facing contact lugs of the contact element having the waveform are arranged facing away from the insertion of the mating contact element in the insertion direction in the direction of the crimping region and extending approximately parallel to each other.
  • Above the one end of the contact lug is an angled portion which forms the latching lug for locking the contact element in the contact chamber of the connector.
  • the entire contact element consists of an electrically conductive material, for example, a corresponding sheet material, which is initially designed flat and is fed to a punch-bending process, so that the entire contact element can be made in one piece by means of punching-bending process.
  • an electrically conductive material for example, a corresponding sheet material, which is initially designed flat and is fed to a punch-bending process, so that the entire contact element can be made in one piece by means of punching-bending process.
