Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical contact set of a plug-in connection terminal with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Plug-in connection terminals which have an electrical contact with a first connection element for connecting a plug contact in a plugging direction, a second connection element for clamping connection of an electrical conductor being arranged on the electrical contact.
  • Plug-in connection terminals are distinguished by the fact that, on the one hand, they have a clamping point for connecting an electrical conductor, and on the other hand, they can establish contact with the electrical device or the like through a connection point into which the plug contact is simply inserted.
  • Plug-in circuit board connection terminals which have a multiplicity of such plug-in connection terminals for connecting a plurality of plug-in contacts, which are arranged fixed relative to one another on a pin header by an insulating body.
  • circuit board connection terminals In order to be able to design such circuit board connection terminals for certain nominal voltages, appropriate air and creepage distances must be observed between the electrically conductive parts.
  • the plug contacts of the pin header In order to be able to keep the distance between the individual plug-in connection terminals of the circuit board connection terminal as small as possible, it is known to arrange the plug contacts of the pin header not in one plane but in two planes that are offset parallel to one another at a distance, with the plug contacts alternating in the different ones Levels are arranged so that there is a zigzag arrangement of the plug contacts at the pin header. So that the plug contacts in the circuit board connection terminal can be contacted accordingly, it is known to arrange two different electrical contact sets in alternation in the circuit board connection terminal.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 Examples of known such electrical contact sets according to the prior art are shown. These have an electrical contact 80 with a first connection element 82 for connecting a plug contact 50 in a plugging direction S, with a second connection element 86 for clamping connection of an electrical conductor being arranged on the electrical contact 80.
  • the second connection element 86 has, for example, a spring leg 88 for the clamping connection of the electrical conductor between the spring leg 88 and the electrical contact 80.
  • the first connection element 82 has, for example, two spring elements 84 which are arranged approximately mirror-symmetrically to one another and whose longitudinal axis runs in particular approximately parallel to the plug-in direction S. The free ends of the spring elements 84 open against the plug-in direction S.
  • the width of the spring elements 84 corresponds approximately to the diameter of the plug-in contact 50 to be connected. So that the plug-in contacts 50 arranged in a zigzag on a pin header can be contacted in the circuit board connection terminal, the first Connection elements 82 of the two in the Figures 1 and 2 electrical contacts 80 shown offset from one another by a distance a transversely to the plug direction S. The distance a corresponds approximately to the distance between the two planes in which the plug contacts are arranged on the pin header. This means in particular that the first connection element 82 of the FIG Figure 1 electrical contact set shown closer to a side wall of the electrical contact 80 is arranged as the first connection element 82 of the in Figure 2 electrical contact set 80 shown.
  • the US 2012/0295495 A1 or the EP 2 645 488 A1 disclose a contact set or a pole terminal for a socket insert, which have an electrical contact with a first connection element for connecting a plug contact in a plugging direction, a second connection element for clamping connection of an electrical conductor being arranged in the electrical contact, in which the first connection element has at least one contact element which has at least a first section and a second section, the width of the first section transverse to the plugging direction being greater than the width of the second section transverse to the plugging direction.

  • Such a configuration of the contact element makes it possible to contact plug contacts arranged in different positions transversely to the plugging direction, so that only a single type of electrical contact set is sufficient to contact the plug contacts in the different positions. Only a single type of electrical contact set therefore has to be manufactured, which simplifies the manufacture of the electrical contact sets. Furthermore, the assembly of the plug-in circuit board connection terminal is also simplified, since only one type of electrical contact set has to be assembled.

  • the free ends of the spring elements of the first pair of contact elements in the plug-in direction of the plug-in contact and the free ends of the spring elements of the second pair of contact elements in the plug-in direction of the plug-in contact face one another. This enables a short distance between the contact points arranged one behind the other in the plug-in direction of the plug contact.

  • the plug contact 50 is inserted through the opening 23 of the connecting element 22 into the circuit board connection terminal 60 and is clamped there by the spring elements 31, 32, 33, 34 of the first connection element 30 ' .
  • the circuit board connection terminal 60 is referred to as a plug-in circuit board connection terminal 60, since the circuit board connection terminal 60 can be plugged onto the plug contact 50 in order to establish the electrically conductive connection to a device.

  • the housing 61 has an inlet opening 63 through which an electrical conductor can be inserted in the insertion direction E into the housing 61. This takes place in particular against the force of the spring leg 41.
  • the connection terminal 60 can have an actuating element 64, by means of which the spring leg 41 can be further deflected against the spring force when the actuating element 64 is actuated, in particular so far that the free end 41b is a pinched releases electrical conductor again and this can then be removed.
  • the housing 61 can have a test opening 65 through which a voltage tester can be inserted into the housing 61 in order to check whether a voltage is present at the contact set 10 '.
  • the circuit board connection terminal 60 has several, in particular four, connection terminals arranged next to one another.
  • the housing 61 has four input openings 63, actuating elements 64 and test openings 65.
