Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high power electrical contact.
  • contact pins wherein the contact pins are each guided in a receptacle of the circuit board.
  • This receptacle is often provided with a resilient ring or more generally with resilient contacts for permanent secure contacting of the contact pin.
  • Such contact pins are usually made of metal and round in cross-section.
  • contact pin receptacle and at least one electrical connection wherein the contact pin receptacle is integrally formed of two spaced superimposed and mutually movable part contacts, each subcontact having an opening with projecting into the opening contact arms, wherein the two openings are arranged coaxially to each other, wherein the contact arms of a Opening formed on the contact arms of the other opening are formed combing one another bent.
  • a contact pin for example, a battery in relation to the device according to the invention is compensated for great advantage by mutually movable sub-contacts, seen along the contact pin, beyond also axial spaced apart, so that they have a larger area Contact the contact pin. Due to the inventively provided, combing one another to bend arms is always a sufficient area for the electron transfer available.
  • Partial contacts on the one hand establishes a secure mechanical connection between the two partial contacts, on the other hand it enables a cost-effective production of the device, since assembly steps can be omitted.
  • the openings are round or square.
  • a round opening is preferred since the vast majority of pins is cylindrical and therefore a round opening is best suited for contacting.
  • the contact arms initially have a radially extending section followed by an axially extending section and in particular have a crowning and / or embossing in the latter.
  • the inner edge of the opening would be sufficient for contacting the contact pin, but such extending arms are particularly suitable to apply a spring force and thus to rest under a certain force on the wall of the contact pin, or be pressed.
  • a secure contact is possible, even if the contact pin due to mechanical or thermal influences, the opening of the partial contact passes through obliquely.
  • Partial contacts are formed connected to each other by means of at least one further connecting device, preferably by means of two connecting devices, in particular two identically formed connecting devices.
  • connection is formed integrally with the contact pin receptacle.
  • the electrical connection is a component which can be connected to the contact pin receptacle and has a connection section for this purpose.
  • the electrical connection has a connection end, designed in particular as a sword, contact button, crimp, soldering end, rivet, then the electrical connection can be tailored to its purpose without having to change the contact pin receptacle.
  • Connecting portion of the electrical connection is trident-shaped, wherein the two outer arms of the trident are aligned spaced above and below the middle arm formed bent.
  • Material thickness of the contact element corresponds and that the thickness of the middle arm to a distance of the two sub-contacts
  • connection surfaces of partial contact and electrical connection have corresponding latches.
  • Such screening further increases the surface available for the power line, but above all leads to an improved form-locking connection of the two parts of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 schematically a first embodiment before and after folding
  • FIG. 2a, b schematically a second embodiment
  • FIG. 3 schematically further embodiments.
  • Fig. 1 shows with the upper figure an inventive device 1 prior to folding with an electrical connection 3 and a
  • Contact pin receptacle 2 which has two integrally molded part contacts 4 and 5.
  • the sub-contacts 4, 5 in turn each have an opening 6, 7 and are connected to one another at a base 20.
  • the base 20 of the electrical contact 3 is also attached, which here consists of two
  • Part swords 21 exists.
  • the entire power contact is with it manufactured in one piece.
  • the length of the latching arm 22 later determines the distance between the two sub-contacts 4, 5.
  • the ready state of the embodiment of the invention is shown, finished bent. It can be seen that the two openings 6, 7 are arranged coaxially to each other and that the arms 8, 9 of a partial contact 4, 5 initially from a opening edge 10 a radially extending
  • Section 1 Section 1 1, followed by an axially extending portion 12, wherein the arms of a partial contact with those of the other partial contact are combing.
  • An embossment 13 on the latter section 12 can also be seen, so that a contact pin passing through the openings 6, 7 is contacted by surface installation and not only by line installation.
  • the distance between the two partial contacts 4, 5 is determined primarily by the length of the latching arm 22, which corresponds to a distance A in the region of the base 20.
  • the two sub-contacts are thus formed twice in the base 20 connected to each other and once in the most remote area of the opening 6, 7. This triple connection results in a stable high-performance contact, the two sub-contacts are still a certain limits against each other position variable.
  • the two divisors 21 can be bent toward each other, whereby each divisional sword 21 can be bent toward one another or both equally towards one another.
  • Fig. 2a shows a second embodiment of the invention in an operational form, the two-part contact pin receptacle 2 and electrical
  • Terminal 3 is formed.
  • Fig. 2b shows the electrical connection 3 in the state before its folding and merging with the
  • FIG. 2a shows the bending of the electrical connection 3, which leads to three spaced-apart layers, between which the material of the base 20 of the contact pin receptacle 2 is received.
  • the middle arm 18 is thus clamped in the contact pin receptacle 2, whereas the upper and lower arm 17 between each and the middle arm a position of the contact pin receptacle 2 clamp.
  • This sandwich connection allows optimal area utilization for power transmission while providing a high surface area for heat dissipation.
  • Two stops 24, which laterally support the upper and lower arms 17 and which are formed by stamping and bending in the region of the base 20, can also be seen.
  • Fig. 3 shows finally in the upper row several one-piece
  • Embodiments of the invention each with differently shaped terminal end 16 of the electrical connection 3 and with the same contact pin receptacle 2.
  • Terminal 3 are here designed as a sword, a crimp and a plug, shown from left to right.
  • Fig. 3 shows in the lower row of several two-part embodiments of the invention, each with differently shaped terminal end 16 of the electrical connection 3 according to the above-mentioned sequence.
  • the contact pin receptacle 2 is identical to that of the upper row. It will be appreciated that the stops 24 are optional and therefore need not occur in any two-part embodiment.
  • the absence of the second connection device 14 in the region of the opening 6, 7 shows that this is also optional.
  • the high-performance contact according to the invention is thus many
  • the high-performance contact is able to conduct large currents safely even with small overall dimensions due to its sandwich construction.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à établir un contact de puissance (1), présentant un logement pour broche de contact (2) et au moins une borne électrique (3), le logement pour broche de contact (2) étant constitué de deux demi-contacts (4, 5), formés d'un seul tenant, placés l'un au-dessus de l'autre à distance l'un de l'autre et pouvant être déplacés l'un par rapport à l'autre. Chaque demi-contact (4, 5) présente une ouverture (6, 7) dans laquelle font saillie des doigts de contact (8, 9), les deux ouvertures (6, 7) étant disposées coaxialement l'une par rapport à l'autre. Les doigts de contact (8, 9) d'une ouverture (6, 7) sont conçus pour être repliés sur les doigts de contact (8, 9) de l'autre ouverture de manière à s'engrener les uns sur les autres.
