According to the first aspect of the present invention,
For the purpose of inserting and mounting in a narrow space between parts to be electrically connected and between existing connection parts, a plate material having a multilayer structure having an insulating resin layer between a first metal plate and a second metal plate is used. Then, it can be molded to approximately match the external shape of the contact part of the mating part to be inserted, and lead wires can be drawn out from the first metal plate and the second metal plate, respectively, and electrical or electronic control means can be connected between the lead wires. And an electrical or electronic control equipment connection adapter. As a result, another electric or electronic control device such as a power saving unit or a power factor improving unit can be connected between the electric connection parts.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the adapter according to the first aspect of the present invention, for example, when an adapter pin to be attached to a pin-shaped electrical connection portion such as a pin portion of a fluorescent lamp is used, When a pin plate is drawn using a laminated board with a resin layer bonded between a metal plate and a metal plate, the resin portion cannot follow the elongation of the metal due to the difference in ductility between the metal and the resin, and a crack is generated, resulting in insulation. Although it is difficult to secure the metal sheet, two metal sheets and two laminated sheets each having an insulating resin film laminated on one side thereof are overlapped with each other so that the resin surface and the resin surface are in sliding contact with each other. The electrical insulation between the plates was sufficiently ensured.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, one of a metal plate and a laminated plate having an insulating resin film laminated on one surface thereof is subjected to drawing or bending from the resin surface side and the other one is subjected to drawing or bending process from the resin surface side. In this method, the resin surfaces were fitted to each other by drawing or bending to obtain a similar shape, and the electrical insulation between the metal plates was sufficiently ensured by this method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment in which the adapter according to the present invention is applied to a fluorescent lamp pin will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a first insulating resin film F1 such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is formed as an insulating resin layer on one surface of a first metal plate M1 made of nickel silver or the like.
Is laminated by pressing and punching, and the first adapter pin material plate 1 is formed by folding the terminal 1a so that the metal surface is on the opposite side, and the first adapter pin material plate 1 is formed on one surface of the second metal plate M2 in the same manner as described above. A second adapter pin material plate 2 was formed by pressing and punching a laminate obtained by bonding and laminating two insulating resin films F2. Next, the first adapter pin material plate 1 and the second adapter pin material plate 2 are overlapped with each other so that the insulating resin film surfaces are in contact with each other, and the positioning holes 1c are positioned so that the first metal plate M1 faces down. 2c was set in a mold and drawn to obtain an adapter pin 3 as shown in FIG. 2 (for the sake of simplicity, it is shown larger than it actually is). As shown in FIG. 3 which is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the adapter pin 3 taken along the line AA, a first insulating resin film F1 and a second insulating resin film F2 are provided between an outer first metal plate M1 and an inner second metal plate M2. Has a multi-layered structure that is sandwiched between
Outer first metal plate M1 and inner second metal plate M2 during drawing
The plastic deformation of the first insulating resin film F1 and the second insulating film F2 is absorbed by sliding contact with each other, so that defects such as cracks are less likely to occur in the insulating resin film and between the metal surfaces. The electrical insulation of this is ensured.

In the above description, an example is described in which two metal plates and a laminated plate of an insulating resin film are superimposed on each other so that the resin surfaces thereof are in contact with each other, and the adapter pin is formed by drawing, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, an adapter pin having excellent electrical insulation between metal plates could be obtained even when the laminated plate was bent by a press or the like and formed.

This first adapter pin material plate 1 is used alone
The first metal plate M1 is drawn from the first insulating resin film F1 surface side so as to be outside the adapter pins, and the other second adapter pin material plate 2 is independently drawn from the second metal plate M2 surface side. An adapter pin with excellent electrical insulation between metal plates even if the metal plate is drawn so that the metal surface is on the inner side of the adapter pin and these separately drawn parts are fitted together to produce an adapter pin. Was obtained.

Further, as described above, if two laminated plates of a metal plate and an insulating resin film are formed so that the resin surfaces thereof are in contact with each other, a slip occurs between the resin surfaces during plastic deformation, and the electric force between the metal plates is reduced. Although insulation was ensured, even when using a laminate of three layers of insulating resin film between a metal plate and a metal plate with a weak adhesive, it adheres during plastic deformation by drawing or the like. It has also been clarified that it acts to suppress the occurrence of cracks in the insulating resin film due to the occurrence of slipping at the contact surface between the resin surface and the metal surface, thereby ensuring electrical insulation between the metal plates.

As shown in FIG. 4, the adapter pins 3 thus obtained are inserted into the holes provided in the circuit board 4 from the surface on which the circuit pattern 4a is formed, and the first metal plate M
The first terminal (1a) and the second metal plate M2 side terminal (2a or 2b) are soldered to a pattern on a circuit board, and lead wires 5 such as wires are respectively pulled out from the circuit board and the connector 6
Was attached to obtain an adapter 10.

As shown in FIG. 5, this adapter 10 is attached to a fluorescent lamp pin 7a of a fluorescent lamp 7, inserted into a fluorescent lamp socket 8, connected to a fluorescent lamp socket terminal 8a, and not shown in a connector 6. A power saving unit or the like can be attached.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described by way of an example of a fluorescent lamp pin, the adapter according to the present invention can be applied to various connection parts in a case where the continuity between devices is cut off and another device is connected. May be used only for the purpose of shutting off.

[0015]

The adapter according to the present invention is very thin and has a simple structure, so that it can be easily attached between a connection portion having a small space or an existing connection portion, and another device can be easily attached. I can do it. Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, slippage occurs between the resin surfaces of the two laminated plates during plastic working, and sufficient electrical insulation can be ensured even when working into a complicated shape such as a pin shape. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the pin-shaped laminated plates formed separately from opposite directions are fitted so that the resin surfaces are in contact with each other, sufficient electrical insulation between the metal plates can be ensured. .
