Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact element according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a contact element which has an elastic deformable plane which makes it suitable for insertion through a through hole in a printed circuit board.
  • the elastically deformable surface comprises two to each other. parallel spring legs connected by a deformable bridge. This is intended to ensure that the spring legs rest against the inner wall of the bore of the circuit board.
  • the deformable bridge comprises in cross-section a flat portion which extends at right angles to the two opposite spring legs and has an upper and a lower surface. From the opposite ends of the upper surface extend outwardly two inclined portions which adjoin the spring legs.
  • Such a Kaltlötharm has a good electrical conductivity and a good thermal conductivity.
  • a good electrical connection is made with the inner wall of the bore, wherein the Torsional movement of the spring leg at least in its last phase represents a rolling motion on the inner wall of the bore.
  • the spring legs in Toward each other have a trough-shaped depression. Through the trough-shaped depression divided by the gap it is achieved that the spring legs have a high degree of elasticity and, when they are inserted into the bore of the printed circuit board, form a large contact outer area with the bore of the printed circuit board. This assists in the production of a fixed connection to the wall of the bore to the printed circuit board by a cold solder joint.
  • the fulcrum of this rotational movement is in the region of the gap.
  • the legs in the first direction approximately in the middle of their length each have a wider contour which tapers toward both the contact post and its tips.
  • the trough formed between the legs extends in the first direction, i. H. in the plug-in direction, flatter in the direction of the contact post and also flat in the direction of the tips of the legs, so there rises slightly.
  • a galvanic coating is preferably used.
  • a particularly low insertion force is ensured in the circuit board and formed by the torsional force of the individual legs an optimal contacting surface for printed circuit board hole.
  • the open tips of the spring legs allow a flat spring characteristic with a particularly gentle and low insertion force when introduced into a bore.
  • the contacting made possible according to the invention is based on a flexible press-in zone, as formed by the two spring legs.
  • the contact element provided according to the invention has a reduced scattering of the spring force.
  • the shape of the spring legs results in a uniform distribution of the Hertzian stresses and the deformations in the contact zones; in particular, these are much smaller than contact elements according to the prior art.
  • good self-concentration in the press-in zone is achieved by the selected shape of the spring leg with the trough-shaped recess.
  • a contact element 1 ( Fig. 1 to 6 ) comprises at its upper end a contact post 2, which in turn carries at its lower end two integrally connected with the contact post 2 and separated by a narrow gap 3 spring legs 4, 5.
  • the gap 3 extends in the direction of a Axis A and preferably has the same width over its entire length; the gap 3 is formed during punching by a shearing process.
  • the recess 8 forms in cross section ( Fig. 2 ), ie transverse to the direction of the axis A, a substantially trapezoidal recess 9. Laterally of the recess form the spring legs 4, 5 each quadrangular contours 10, 11 and 12, 13, each having rounded corners. In a diagonal direction relative to an axis B and an axis C, a depression 14 is present between the quadrangular contours 10 and 12, and a depression 15 is provided between the contours 11 and 13.
  • the depression 8 flattens off both in the direction of the contact post 2 and in the direction of the tips 16, 17.
