Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bridging element for electrically connecting a first current bar to at least one second current bar.
  • the invention further relates to a connection element and an electronic device.
  • a bridging element is usually introduced or used in a housing of a connection element in order to electrically connect at least two current bars arranged in the housing to one another.
  • the housing usually has a bridge shaft, via which the bridging element can be inserted into the housing.
  • the current bars each have a window-like opening through which the bridging element is passed in order to make contact with the respective current bar.
  • the bridging element is usually fastened via the housing of the connection element, in that the bridging element, when it is inserted into the bridge shaft, is latched to the housing in the area of the bridge shaft.
  • the fastening thus takes place via the plastic material of the housing, as a result of which the stability of the fastening usually decreases, particularly over a longer period of time, and as a result the contact force acting between the bridging element and the current bar also decreases. Furthermore, the bridging element can be pressed out of the housing unintentionally as a result of the contact force, which sometimes acts with different strengths between the contact body and the current bar. In some cases, therefore, hot caulking of the bridging element in the inserted state in the area of the bridge shaft with the insulating material of the housing of the connection element is also necessary, which, however, significantly increases the effort for fastening the bridging element in the connection element and also makes multiple use of the bridging element impossible.
  • the bridging element is designed in such a way that, when it is inserted into the bridging shaft of a housing, it no longer has to be attached to the housing of the connection element, but the attachment of the bridging element is preferably exclusively via the current bars, which Bridging element is to be electrically connected to one another, takes place.
  • the bridging element can thus only be held and fastened to the current bar.
  • the bridging element has at least two holding areas on its contact body, these holding areas each interacting with a current bar in order to hold the bridging element on the current bar and thus fasten it to the current bar.
  • the holding areas of the contact body thus form attachment areas for attaching the contact body to the current bar.
  • the contact body is preferably made of a metal material, so that a metal-to-metal fastening connection can then be formed between the contact body and the current bar, which also enables a stable connection over a long period of time.
  • This stable connection ensures a constant contact force between the contact body and thus the bridging element and the current bar over a long period of time. Hot caulking of the bridging element with the housing of the connection element is then no longer necessary.
  • a detachable connection and thus a detachable attachment of the bridging element in the connection element is possible, so that a Multiple use of the bridging element is possible.
  • the contact body is preferably elongate in shape, with the holding areas being spaced apart from one another along the length of the contact body.
  • the at least two holding areas fasten the bridging element in a connection element at at least two different locations of the bridging element that are spaced apart from one another.
  • the bridging element is now attached directly via the contact body itself, which also forms the electrical connection between the current bars.
  • the second holding area can be arranged below the first holding area in the insertion direction of the bridging element, it being possible for the second holding area to have a section that tapers in the direction of the first holding area.
  • the bridging element When the bridging element is inserted or inserted into the housing of the connection element, the bridging element first passes the first current bar with its second holding area before the second holding area reaches the second current bar and thus its end position.
  • the tapered section formed on the second holding area can make it easier for the second holding area to be guided past the first current bar, since this tapered section can reduce the frictional force or resistance force to be overcome between the contact body in the area of the second holding area and the first current bar.
  • the second holding area can thus be divided into two sections.
  • the first section can be used to hold or fasten the second current bar in the second holding area and the second section can be the tapered section, which can make it easier for the second holding area to be guided past the first current bar.
  • the first section can have a rectangular basic shape as a window-like recess.
  • the second section and thus the tapering section can have a triangular basic shape as a window-like recess.
  • the fastening element can be designed, for example, in the form of a fastening strap.
  • two or more fastening elements can also be provided. These two or more fastening elements can each be designed in the form of a fastening strap.
  • the contact body is preferably formed from a stamped and bent part. This enables the contact body to be manufactured simply and inexpensively. The contact body can then be stamped from a sheet metal part and then bent into the desired shape.
  • the contact body 110 is elongate.
  • the contact body 110 has a first end section 111 and a second end section 112 arranged along the longitudinal axis A of the contact body 110 at a distance from the first end section 111 .
  • a first holding area 113 for holding or attaching the bridging element 100 to a first current bar 210
  • a second holding area 114 for holding or attaching the bridging element 100 to a spaced apart from the first current bar 210 arranged second current bar 211 formed.
  • the two holding areas 113, 114 are arranged in alignment with one another.
  • FIG 3 shows a state in which the bridging element 100 electrically connects two current bars 210, 211 arranged one above the other.
  • the current bars 210, 211 each have a window-like opening 212, 213, through which the contact body 110 of the bridging element 100 protrudes, wherein in the inserted state, as shown in FIG 3 is shown, the holding areas 113, 114 are each arranged exactly at the height of the window-like openings 212, 213 of the respective current bar 210, 211, so that the contact body 110 with its holding areas 113, 114 can be held and fastened to the current bars 210, 211.
  • the bridging element 100 is inserted in the insertion direction S into the window-like openings 212, 213 of the current bars 210, 211.
