Definitions
- the present invention relates to a (multi-pole) connection terminal which can be plugged onto contact pins - for example a circuit board - for electrical contacting.
- Connection terminals are generally known from the prior art. These are used for the electrical connection of electrical conductors.
- the connection terminals can be provided loosely or can also be mechanically fastened.
- Connection terminals are also generally known which are fastened directly to circuit boards in order to simplify the electrical connection of electrical conductors to the circuit board.
- Such connection terminals generally have integrated contact projections by means of which they are plugged onto circuit boards and then generally permanently soldered to them. In particular, such a soldering process requires appropriate soldering temperatures, which can affect the insulating housing of a connection terminal to be fastened in this way, which is usually made of plastic.
- Such known terminals generally only have a connection option for electrical conductors from one side, so that the through-wiring preferred for connection terminals cannot be implemented or can only be implemented with great effort.
- connection terminals are known from the prior art, which are used in luminaires and are often provided integrated in a luminaire body of the luminaire; for example, clipped into it. These connection terminals are used in particular for looping through a through-wiring on the one hand and for optionally tapping off the through-wiring on the other hand; for example, to corresponding luminaire components, such as a luminaire operating device.
- connection terminal and a printed circuit board arrangement equipped therewith, which enable simple and secure electrical contacting of the connection terminal with high flexibility for providing through-wiring.
- the present invention relates to a connection terminal which has at least two contact elements.
- Each of the contact elements in turn has two electrically connected conductor terminals each for electrical connection to an electrical conductor for providing through-wiring via the contact element.
- the connection terminal has an insulating housing that accommodates the contact elements (preferably at least partially or completely).
- the insulating housing delimits at least part of a conductor insertion channel leading from the outside to the respective conductor terminal point.
- the conductor insertion channels assigned to the same contact element extend along the same axis of extension or at least substantially parallel to this, and are directed away from one another.
- Each of the contact elements has a contact terminal point for receiving a contact pin.
- the contact terminal points are in turn each electrically connected to the conductor terminal points of the assigned contact element; thus, the contact terminal point and the conductor terminal points of the same contact element are electrically connected to one another.
- the insulating housing delimits at least part of contact insertion channels leading from the outside to the respective contact terminal points.
- the contact insertion channels each extend along a further axis of extension, which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis of extension of the assigned conductor insertion channels - i.e. those assigned to the same contact element.
- the fact that the conductor insertion channels extend along the same extension axis and are directed away from one another is understood to mean that the conductor insertion channels are aligned coaxially with one another and their accesses from the outside (i.e. the conductor insertion openings) are on opposite sides; i.e. they are open and accessible facing away from each other.
- the fact that the conductor insertion channels extend (essentially) parallel to the same extension axis and are directed away from one another is understood to mean that the conductor insertion channels are radially offset from one another when viewed in the axial direction, but preferably still overlap when viewed in the axial direction, so that their entrances from the outside (i.e.
- the conductor insertion openings are on opposite sides; i.e. they are open and accessible facing away from each other.
- substantially parallel (to the extension axis) is understood to mean that the extension direction can be inclined with respect to the extension axis by a maximum of approximately 20°, preferably a maximum of approximately 10°; can therefore extend in a cone of 20° or 10° around the extension axis (longitudinal).
- substantially perpendicular to the extension axis
- the further extension axis can be inclined by a maximum of approximately 20°, preferably a maximum of approximately 10°, with respect to a normal on the extension axis; can therefore extend in a cone of 20° or 10° around the normal (longitudinal).
- connection terminal described above makes it particularly easy to contact the connection terminal with contact pins (for example on a circuit board) by simply plugging it in, while at the same time the functionality of the connection terminal for providing through-wiring is retained due to the conductor insertion channels pointing away from each other. Since a clamping contact for receiving a contact pin is also provided in the connection terminal, contact pins used for making contact can be provided beforehand on a corresponding component, such as a circuit board in particular, so that any temperatures for attaching the contact pins (for example by soldering) do not affect the connection terminal itself. In addition, a connection terminal that is as flat and therefore as compact as possible can be provided in this way.
- All contact insertion channels or their further extension axes are preferably aligned parallel to one another.
- the contact insertion channels are preferably all accessible from the same side of the connection terminal.
- the accesses from the outside (i.e. the contact insertion openings) to the contact insertion channels are preferably all in a row next to one another;
- the contact insertion channels are therefore preferably all arranged next to one another in a row. This makes it possible to have a compact design of the connection terminal, which can also be particularly easily plugged onto contact pins or onto a contact pin strip.
- the conductor insertion channels which are essentially perpendicular to the plug-on direction, are particularly easy to access after plugging, which simplifies the connection of through-wiring.
- the contact elements preferably each have a contact frame and a spring clamp element for each associated conductor clamping point, which work together to form the respective conductor clamping points.
- This design provides a simple and effective contact option for securely contacting an electrical conductor.
- these components can be manufactured in a particularly simple manner; for example, as stamped and bent parts.
- Each of the spring clamping elements preferably has a spring clamping leg which is provided so that it can move - particularly preferably pivot - in order to optionally open the respective conductor clamping point for inserting or removing an electrical conductor.
- a simple structure of the spring clamping element can be provided with an effective clamping effect.
- such a spring clamping element can be manufactured in a particularly simple manner; for example, as a stamped and bent part.
- Each of the spring clamping elements or preferably their spring clamping legs can/can preferably be biased towards the associated contact frame (i.e. the contact frame of the same contact element). In this way, an effective clamping effect can be permanently maintained.
- the spring clamping elements of the same contact element can preferably be formed integrally with one another. This reduces the number of individual parts on the one hand and simplifies production and assembly on the other.
- the spring clamping elements of the same contact element can be formed via a connecting web, which particularly preferably extends essentially parallel to the axis of extension of the conductor insertion channels assigned to the same contact element between the spring clamping elements.
- a simple and effective design of the integrally provided spring clamping elements can thus be made possible.
- the spring clamping elements can be manufactured in a way that protects the material, while on the other hand, a simple and defined assembly and, preferably, automatic positioning of the two spring clamping elements is made possible.
- the contact elements can preferably each have a contact clamping spring, which interacts with the associated contact frame in order to form the respective contact clamping point.
- the contact element can therefore also provide an effective clamping point due to its simple but effective structure.
- the contact clamping springs are preferably biased towards the associated contact frame in order to permanently enable an effective clamping effect of the contact clamping point.
- the contact clamping springs are particularly preferably formed integrally with at least one or both of the associated spring clamping elements (i.e. the same contact element). In this way, the structure of the connection terminal as well as its manufacture and assembly can be further simplified overall.
- the contact clamping springs are preferably each formed in the associated connecting web (i.e. the same contact element), so that they can be provided in a simple and effective manner.
- the contact clamping points can each be relative to a direction parallel to the extension axis of the assigned - i.e. the one assigned to the same contact element -
- Conductor insertion channels can be provided between the assigned conductor clamping points. In this way, the respective contact element with the contact terminal point - and thus the connection terminal as a whole - can be made compact, while at the same time their function of providing through-wiring can be effectively maintained.
- the contact insertion channels are preferably each viewed from the outside towards the associated contact clamping point along their extension axis at least in sections on one side of a first contact guide section of the associated contact frame and at least in sections on a side opposite the one side by a second contact guide section of the associated contact frame. In this way, a contact pin to be inserted can be safely received and stored in the corresponding contact insertion channel in order to be able to effectively and safely provide electrical contact with the associated contact element.
- the first contact guiding section and the second contact guiding section are preferably arranged downstream of one another along the extension axis of the associated contact insertion channel - therefore in its axial direction.
- the contact insertion channel can thus be provided safely and stably, while electrical contacting is effectively enabled.
- the first contact guiding section and the second contact guiding section are preferably connected to one another via a bending section of the associated contact frame.
- the bending section can be a section of the associated contact frame that extends, for example, transversely or orthogonally to the extension axis of the contact insertion channel.
- the contact guide sections can be provided simply by bending and thus be provided with overall stability at the same time.
- the part of the contact insertion channel provided by the contact frame can also be produced in a simple manner by a punching-bending process for producing the contact frame.
- the bending section preferably has a through-opening which forms or delimits a part of the associated contact insertion channel.
- the contact insertion channel can thus be provided effectively, while on the other hand the contact frame retains a high level of stability despite providing a corresponding through-passage option for a contact pin.
- the previously described first and second contact guide sections can be provided in a particularly simple manner in this way. provide.
- the contact elements can preferably each have additional conductor terminals in addition to the conductor terminals for providing the through-wiring. In this way, the functionality of the connection terminal can be expanded in any way.
- the conductor clamping points and the further conductor clamping points of the same contact element are preferably formed integrally with one another. In this way, the advantages of an integral design, such as the reduction of individual parts and the simplification of production and assembly, can also be transferred to the other conductor terminal points in the same way.
- one of the conductor terminals shares a spring clamp element with one of the other conductor terminals of the same contact element.
- This then has a spring clamp leg for each associated conductor terminal that can be moved or pivoted to optionally open the respective conductor terminal.
- the insulating material housing preferably delimits at least a part of a further conductor insertion channel leading from the outside to the further conductor clamping point.
- These further conductor insertion channels can basically be designed comparable to the conductor insertion channels described above.
- the further conductor insertion channels preferably also each extend along a further extension axis, which is or are preferably oriented substantially parallel to the extension axis of the conductor insertion channels assigned to the same contact element.
- An overall compact design of the connection terminal can thus be provided while providing several corresponding conductor terminal points. Due to the preferred parallel arrangement of the extension axes of the conductor insertion channels, in addition to a compact design of the connection terminal, electrical contacting can also be easily implemented by an operator.
- connection terminal can have an actuating element, such as a push button or a lever, for each contact element for at least one or both conductor clamping points and, if present, preferably for at least one or more or all other conductor clamping points (preferably each) for selectively opening the respective conductor clamping point for insertion or Removing an electrical conductor.

- each contact element for at least one or both conductor clamping points and, if present, preferably for at least one or more or all other conductor clamping points (preferably each) for selectively opening the respective conductor clamping point for insertion or Removing an electrical conductor.
- the respective actuating element can preferably be movably accommodated in the insulating material housing. This means that the actuating element can be stored easily and safely with a compact design of the connecting terminal, which in turn enables a high level of functionality and easy operation.
- the at least two (or more) contact elements can preferably be arranged next to one another in a row; this is particularly preferably offset perpendicular to the conductor insertion channels and the contact insertion channel or to their extension axes. This means that any multi-pole connection terminal can be provided in a simple and compact manner.
- the insulating housing is made up of several parts.
- the insulating housing can have a housing part and a housing cover, which can be closed after the corresponding contact elements have been accommodated in order to securely accommodate the contact elements.
- the insulating housing is made up of several parts, such that, for example, a separate insulating housing part is provided for each contact element, which can then be connected in any number in a row - for example to form a multi-pole connection terminal - for example using locking or snap connections.
- connection terminal or its insulating housing preferably has positioning elements for positioning the connection terminal on a circuit board.
- the connection terminal can therefore have a defined positioning structure in order to be positioned securely and in a defined alignment in the mounting area.
- defined positioning points can be provided in this way in order to avoid the connection terminal having to rest on a large surface area - for example on a circuit board. In this way, for example, electrical structures on a circuit board can be protected.
- the connection terminal on the one hand and the circuit board on the other hand can also be provided at least partially thermally separated from one another.
- the positioning elements preferably protrude outwards, with the distal ends of the positioning elements preferably all lying in one plane.
- connection terminal or its insulating housing preferably has a coupling element for mechanically coupling the connection terminal.
- This coupling element can be designed, for example, as a locking or snap connection component (e.g. as a locking pin) which interacts with a corresponding locking or snap connection component (e.g. a locking receptacle) on the mounting side (e.g. a circuit board) for mechanical coupling.
- the coupling element can preferably be designed integrally with at least one of the positioning elements.
- connection terminal or its insulating material housing preferably has a receiving section for partially receiving the contact pins to be electrically connected via the contact terminal points, with the contact insertion channels preferably each opening into the receiving section.
- the receiving section can have at least one of the positioning elements or the positioning sections can form the receiving section.
- the present invention further relates to a circuit board arrangement which, in addition to the above-described connection terminal, also has a circuit board with contact pins projecting therefrom.
- the connection terminal is then arranged on the circuit board in such a way that the contact pins are each connected to the associated contact terminal point via (exactly) one (other) of the contact insertion channels, so that the two conductor terminal points and, if present, preferably also the further conductor terminal points of the associated contact element with the Circuit board are electrically connected.
- connection terminal can be transferred to a corresponding circuit board arrangement using the circuit board arrangement described above.
- the circuit board can then be easily equipped with the corresponding contact pins.
- the connection terminal can then be electrically connected by simply plugging it in, which is particularly simple and gentle on the connection terminal.
- the connection terminal is therefore independent of any fastening processes - such as soldering - of the contact pins.
- the contact pins are preferably each detachably connected to the associated contact terminal point, so that the connection terminal can be removed or replaced as required.
- At least several or all of the contact pins can preferably be connected in a contact pin strip by means of a carrier part, so that the provision of corresponding contact pins on the circuit board is simplified.
- the carrier part is preferably accommodated in the receiving section.
- the carrier part can preferably be a plastic part, so that the contact pins are provided in a simple manner isolated from one another, while at the same time they are easy to handle and are also positioned relative to one another in a correspondingly automatically defined manner.
- the present invention further relates to a luminaire which has a luminaire body with illuminant(s) and a circuit board arrangement according to the present invention, which in turn are electrically coupled to one another in such a way as to functionally couple the luminaire body and preferably the illuminant to the circuit board.
