Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical terminal for receiving and electrical contacting of an electrical conductor.
  • Electrical connection terminals for receiving and electrical contacting of an electrical conductor are well known in practice.
  • Such electrical terminals usually have a metal part with a holding portion and a contact portion and a fixed to the metal part spring clip with an angled mounting portion.
  • For attachment of the spring clip to the metal part are often on the holding portion an embossed locking lug and arranged in the mounting portion a receiving opening into which engages the latching lug.
  • Embossed locking lugs usually have only a small amount and therefore have the disadvantage that the attachment of the spring clip on the metal part is susceptible to tolerances. In addition, the bending of the mounting portion in the manufacture of the spring clip additional bending operations are required.
  • an electrical connection terminal comprising a metal part and a clamping spring which can be pushed onto the metal part, wherein the metal part has a contact leg and a fastening leg connected to the contact limb via a web, the fastening leg has a spring receiving section with an inside, an outside and a spring receiving section arranged opening and the contact leg comprises a contact portion having an inner side and an outer side, wherein the clamping spring has a spring leg with an end portion, a remote on the end portion side connected to the spring leg back and connected to the back holding leg, the spine a first Recess and the holding leg has a second recess, the second recess is formed such that the holding leg two mutually parallel side arms, a lower investment kel and an upper transverse web, and the upper crosspiece, the first recess of the back and the second recess of the retaining leg from each other, characterized in that a first tongue is formed on the upper crosspiece and the clamping spring is plugged onto the metal part such that
  • the spine has a first recess and the retaining leg has a second recess, the first recess and the second recess are separated from one another by the upper transverse web and at the upper transverse web a first tongue is formed, wherein the first tongue for fixing the clamping spring on the metal part engages from the inside into the arranged on the spring receiving portion of the mounting leg opening and abuts the end portion of the spring leg against the inside of the contact portion.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the upper transverse web abuts against the inside of the spring receiving portion. In this way, the spring force exerted by the spring leg is introduced as a reaction force via the upper transverse web in the spring receiving portion of the mounting leg.
  • the length of the first tongue can have different dimensions. Therefore, the length of the first tongue may also have a length which is greater than the material thickness of the attachment leg.
  • a particularly preferred development of the invention provides that the length of the first tongue corresponds to the material thickness of the fastening leg. In this way, a length of the first tongue is specified, which provides a secure attachment of the clamping spring on the mounting leg.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is that a portion of the contact portion is angled down and the lower abutment leg rests against the outside of the angled contact portion.
  • the clamping spring is fixed to the contact portion such that a rotation of the clamping spring about the axis of the upper crosspiece can be reduced.
  • the edge region of the contact section has two recesses, in each of which a side bracket engages. In this way, a fixation of the clamping spring on the metal part in the region of the contact portion is specified, which prevents rotation about the longitudinal axis of the first tongue.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the first recess is formed such that the back has two mutually parallel webs, the spring receiving portion of the mounting leg has two recesses in the edge region and each engages a web in a recess. In this way, a fixation of the clamping spring on the metal part in the region of the spring receiving portion is specified, which prevents rotation about the longitudinal axis of the first tongue.
  • the stripped conductor end between the end portion of the spring leg and the inside of the contact portion is clamped.
  • the spring leg of the clamping spring is pivoted.
  • the upper transverse web has a second tongue directed counter to the first tongue. The second tongue serves as a stop for the spring leg and reduces the pivot angle of the spring leg.
  • clamping spring and the metal part are stamped and bent parts. In this way, clamping spring and metal part can be produced with little effort. Due to the fact that the first tongue and the second tongue are formed on the upper transverse web and the upper transverse web separates the first recess and the second recess from one another, the first tongue can during the punching process of the first recess and the second tongue during the punching process of the second recess in Length and width are formed independently.
  • FIG. 1 is an electrical terminal 10, comprising a metal part 20 and an attachable to the metal part 20 clamping spring 30 is shown.
  • the metal part 20 has a contact leg 21 and a mounting leg 23 connected to the contact leg 21 via a web 22. Furthermore, it can be seen that the fastening leg 23 has a spring receiving portion 231 with an inner side 232, an outer side 233 and a spring receiving portion 231 arranged opening 234 and the contact leg 21 comprises a contact portion 211 with an inner side 212 and an outer side 213.
  • the clamping spring 30 has a spring leg 31 with an end section 311, a back 32 connected to the spring leg 31 on the side remote from the end section 311, and a retaining leg 33 connected to the back 32.
  • the back 32 includes a first recess 321 and the holding leg 33 includes a second recess 331, wherein the second recess 331 is formed such that the holding leg 33 comprises two side brackets 332 arranged parallel to each other, a lower support leg 333 and an upper transverse leg 34. Furthermore, it can be seen that the upper transverse web 34, the first recess 321 of the back 32 and the second recess 331 of the retaining leg 33 is separated from each other and at the upper transverse web 34, a first tongue 341 is formed.
  • the clamping spring 30 can be plugged onto the metal part 20 such that the first tongue 341 engages from the inside 232 into the opening 234 of the spring receiving portion 231 and the end portion 311 of the spring leg 31 abuts against the inside 212 of the contact portion 21 and a spring force on the inside 212th of the contact portion 21 exerts.
  • FIG. 2 is the plugged onto the metal part 20 clamping spring 30 is shown. It can be seen that in the attached state, the upper transverse web 34 abuts against the inner side 232 of the spring receiving portion 231. In this way, the spring force exerted by the spring leg 31 as a reaction force on the upper crossbar 34th introduced into the spring receiving portion 231 of the mounting leg 23.
  • a portion of the contact portion 211 is angled downward and the lower abutment leg 333 abuts against the outer side 213 of the angled contact portion 211.
  • the clamping spring 30 is fixed to the contact portion 211 such that a rotation of the clamping spring 30 can be reduced about the axis of the upper transverse web 34 or even completely prevented.
  • a corresponding fixation on the spring receiving portion 231 may be formed.
  • the first recess 321 is formed such that the back 32 has two webs 322 arranged parallel to one another.
  • two recesses 235 are arranged, and in each case a web 322 engages in a recess 235 a.
  • a fixation of the clamping spring 30 is indicated on the metal part 20 in the region of the spring receiving portion 231, which prevents rotation about the longitudinal axis of the first tongue 341.
  • one of the first tongue 341 is also formed opposite second tongue 342.
  • This second tongue 342 is used to prevent overloading of the clamping spring 30 when giving the spring leg 31 for contacting an electrical conductor end between the end portion 311 of the spring leg 31 and the inner side 212 of the contact portion 211.
  • Both the clamping spring 30 and the metal part 20 are each a stamped and bent part. In this way, clamping spring 30 and metal part 20 can be produced with little effort. Due to the fact that the first tongue 341 and the second tongue 342 are formed on the upper transverse web 34 and the upper transverse web 34 separates the first recess 321 and the second recess 331 from each other, the first tongue 341 can during punching operation of the first recess 321 and second tongue 342 in the punching operation of the second recess 331 in length and width are formed independently.
