Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical contact system having the features of claim 1 and a method of manufacturing this electrical contact system having the features of claim 7.
  • a plurality of contact parts are known which are intended to be used as a plug contact.
  • at least one region of the contact element is designed as a pin or as a spring socket for receiving a mating contact.
  • a contact element is formed integrally with a spring over.
  • Such over-spring can be produced with the contact element in one go as a one-piece punched / bent part by punching and bending of a sheet metal strip, so that a separate production of the over-spring and their mounting and securing on the base part is omitted.
  • a device by which a pair of components can be fixed so as to attach a welded joint by means of a laser.
  • the device is designed to be transmissive at least in the spectrum of the light emitted by the laser, so that a laser beam passes through the device onto the component. Therefore, a large coverage of the component by bearing surfaces of the device, as required to achieve an optimal fixation, does not interfere with the implementation of the welding process. Performing a welding process also requires regular monitoring of the quality of the welded joint. It is therefore desirable to provide a method which eliminates the need for a device as exemplified above and completely avoids the problem of fixing the components by means of a device while at the same time achieving high positional and positional accuracy and process reliability.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome said disadvantages and to provide an improved electrical contact system, which allows a secure connection to a stranded conductor. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for producing such a contact system.
  • the solution according to the invention also makes it possible to produce a contact struck on the cable by minimized tool changes, which are electrically connected both by a crimped connection and by a welded connection and the strand can be optimally positioned in the welding area for processing before and during welding. Overall, a contact is thereby securely connected to a stranded conductor, which is to be ensured in particular in applications in the automotive sector.
  • the basic idea is to provide an electrical contact system of a specifically formed contact element and a cable.
  • the contact system is formed with three, preferably immediately adjacent to each other arranged different connection sections, whereby each connection section has its own, possibly in the process of making such an electrical contact system specific function.
  • a first connecting portion is formed as a crimping portion for connection to a stripped end of the conductor of a cable.
  • a second connecting portion is used to produce a welded joint, which is required in particular in the field of automotive engineering, and a third connecting portion is formed as an insulation crimp or insulation crimping portion for connection to the cable sheath of the cable.
  • the last section also has the retention function after the electrical contact system has been produced.
  • Strands can currently be struck and fastened to a contact element inexpensively and with little investment for tools by crimping. However, there are regularly, as previously described, quality problems.
  • the additional welding of the stranded wire to the contact according to the invention produces a cohesive connection which, however, does not require high tooling costs or investments in accordance with the present invention.
  • an electrical contact system consisting of a contact element with three different connecting sections arranged in series and a cable, wherein the first connecting section is a crimping section for connection to a stripped end of the conductor of a cable and wherein the second connecting section constitutes a welded connection section adjacent to the stripped end of a stripped portion of the cable is connected to the conductor by means of a welded joint, and further wherein the third connecting portion provides an insulation crimps for connection to the cable sheath of the cable.
  • the conductor is a stranded conductor made of a bundle of strands and compressed or compacted in the region of the weld connection section to an approximately parallelepipedal shape, the molding and compaction taking place by means of a compacting welding process.
  • a defined contact surface can be formed the otherwise nonspecifically shaped strands of the stranded conductor can be achieved, whereby a good contact surface and thus support on the support surface of the connection tongue is ensured in order to achieve optimum material and positive engagement in the context of welding.
  • the contact element provides a contacting portion for contacting with a mating contact, at which a substantially flat connection tongue with a support surface for supporting at least one stripped portion of the cable and a cable jacket having region followed.
  • a cable which is correspondingly stripped be applied to the support surface of the connection tongue and experience further processed in a manner to be described later. It is further preferred if laterally connect to the connection tongue two Crimplaschen that form the crimped connection in Crimpucunsabexcellent and engage the conductor contacting.
  • the Crimplaschen a conventional crimp contact are shortened such that between the Crimplaschen for producing the crimped with the stripped conductor and the Crimplaschen for embracing with the cable sheath, a welding window is produced, in which by means of a suitable welding process In addition to the crimp connections, a welded joint can also be produced.
  • the weld connection portion of the connection tongue is formed only as a flat tongue between the Crimptellsabêt and the Isolationscrimptagensabrough.
  • Such a geometrical and simple configuration ensures that the stripped region of the conductor provided for the welding is accessible between the two crimp connection regions for a welding operation.
  • an easily accessible weld joint area is provided by the spacing of the two crimp connection sections and the merely flat configuration of the tongue.
  • the weld is produced by a Kompaktiersch routine compiler or by Kompaktiersch provisionen.
  • the weld connection portion is formed substantially as a flat tongue between the Crimpucunsabexcellent and the insulation crimpucunsabexcellent characterized in that the Crimplaschen, on the side facing the insulation portion, have been partially removed or shortened.
  • an electrical contact system 1 is shown consisting of a contact element 10 with three different connecting sections 12, 13, 14 arranged in series.
  • the electrical contact system 1 is connected to a cable 20.
  • the first connection portion 12 is formed as a crimping portion for connection with the stripped end 21 of the conductor 22 of the cable 20.
  • connection portion 13 adjacent to the first connection portion 12 is the second connection portion 13, which is a welded connection portion.
  • This welded connection section is essentially fastened to the contact element 10 as a compacted stranded section by means of compacting welding methods.
  • connection section 14 Adjacent to the weld connection section 13 is a third connection section 14, namely an insulation crimp section for connecting the contact element 10 to the cable jacket 24 of the cable 20.
  • the electrical contact system 1 further has on the contact element 10 for contacting with a mating contact having contact portion 10a.
  • the contact section 10a is followed by a substantially flat connection tongue 11 with a support surface 11a for supporting at least one stripped region 23 of the cable 20, the cable 20 having a cable sheath 24.
  • the area of the cable 20 surrounding the cable sheath 24 is designated below as the area 25.
  • connection tongue 11 Laterally at the connection tongue 11 are two Crimplaschen 15a, 15b, which form the crimped connection in the CrimpMISsabexcellent 12 and the conductor 22 engage around.
  • the conductor 22 is a stranded conductor of a bundle of strands and is compressed in the region of the weld connection portion 13 to an approximately cuboidal shape, as well in the Fig. 3 can be seen.
  • two more Crimplaschen 16a, 16b join, which form the connecting portion 14 with the insulation crimp and the cable sheath 24 of the conductor 22 at least partially surround.
  • the Crimplaschen 16a, 16b are arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the conductor 22 diametrically to each other to form a slanted gap between the Crimplaschen 16a and 16b.
