Description

本発明は、電気接触子に関し、特に、小型電気機器に配置され、バッテリー接続用等の電気接触に用いられる電気接触子に関する。   The present invention relates to an electrical contact, and more particularly to an electrical contact that is disposed in a small electrical device and used for electrical contact such as battery connection.

小型電気機器、特に携帯電話機は薄型化が要求されている。この要求に対応するために、特許文献1は、バッテリー等の相手接点に接触する接触部がハウジングから前方に突出し、その接触部の後部に弾性的に縮むコイルスプリングを配置した、いわゆるポゴピンコネクタを提案している。しかしながら、この特許文献1に提案されたポゴピンコネクタは部品点数が多くコスト高である。   Thin electric devices, particularly mobile phones, are required to be thin. In order to meet this requirement, Patent Document 1 discloses a so-called pogo pin connector in which a contact portion that contacts a mating contact such as a battery protrudes forward from the housing, and a coil spring that elastically contracts is arranged at the rear of the contact portion. is suggesting. However, the pogo pin connector proposed in Patent Document 1 has a large number of parts and is expensive.

これに対し、特許文献2は、板金の打抜きおよび折曲げ加工により、上記のコイルスプリングの役割りを担うばね部を含むコンタクトが一体に形成された、部品点数の少ない電気コネクタを提案している。   On the other hand, Patent Document 2 proposes an electrical connector with a small number of parts, in which contacts including a spring portion serving as the coil spring are integrally formed by punching and bending a sheet metal. .

特開2011−96606号公報JP 2011-96606 A 特開平11−162592号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-162592

しかしながら、特許文献2に開示された電気コネクタは、ハウジングが別体であり、この別体のハウジング内に収納しなければならず、作業に手間がかかると共に、この収納作業中に変形されたりして、コネクタ(接触子)としての作用を充分に果たすことが出来なくなってしまうことがあった。また、このコネクタは、上記したように、別体のハウジング内に収容しなければならないので、結果としてコスト高になるという欠点もあった。   However, the electrical connector disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a separate housing, which must be housed in the separate housing, which is troublesome and may be deformed during this housing operation. As a result, the function as a connector (contact) may not be sufficiently achieved. Further, as described above, since this connector must be housed in a separate housing, there is a disadvantage that the cost is increased as a result.

そこで、本発明は、上記したような電気コネクタのような欠点がなく、堅牢であり、安価に製造でき、しかも実装の際に取り扱いやすい電気接触子およびその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention has an object to provide an electrical contact that does not have the drawbacks of the above-described electrical connector, is robust, can be manufactured at low cost, and is easy to handle during mounting, and a method for manufacturing the electrical contact. .

以上説明した本発明の実施の形態による電気接触子は、該電気接触子を構成するハウジング、接触部およびバネ部を、一枚の導電性金属板を折り曲げ成形して形成してあるので、堅牢であり、安価に製造できる。しかも、該電気接触子を構成するハウジング、接触部およびバネ部が一体であるため、実装の際には、ハウジングを把持して実装すればよいので、取り扱いやすく、接触部に触れることがないので、接触部の変形を防止できる。また、ハウジングが一体であるので、その底壁等を被取付機器である電気機器に半田付け等で取り付けるだけで実装ができ、実装場所を選ばない。更には、電気接触子全体が導電性であるので、リード線等をどこにでも接続でき、配線が自由であるという効果を持つ。   In the electric contact according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the housing, the contact portion, and the spring portion constituting the electric contact are formed by bending a single conductive metal plate. And can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, since the housing, the contact portion, and the spring portion constituting the electrical contact are integrated, it is easy to handle and not touch the contact portion because it is only necessary to grip and mount the housing when mounting. The deformation of the contact portion can be prevented. Further, since the housing is integral, mounting can be performed by simply attaching the bottom wall or the like to the electric device as the mounted device by soldering or the like, and the mounting location is not limited. Furthermore, since the entire electrical contact is conductive, the lead wire or the like can be connected anywhere, and the wiring is free.
