Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a connecting device, and more specifically, to an improvement of a double-piece type connecting device.

[Prior art] Conventionally, as this type of connection device, for example,
Some are described in Publication No. 136181.

This prior art has elastic clamping arms on both sides of a board part, an electrical contact part made of a highly elastic metal material such as beryllium copper, and a crimp clamping piece for an electric wire continuous to one side of a connecting plate to the board part. A locking hole is provided in the rising base of the elastic clamping arm, and a locking piece is protruded from the connecting plate,
The female electrical connector is characterized in that the locking piece is inserted into the locking hole to connect the wire connection portion and the electrical contact portion.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, this conventional technology has a serious problem in that the contact resistance between the female electrical connector and the male connector piece, that is, the tab terminal, is large because the tab terminal does not have double-sided contact. There is a point.

Furthermore, there are generally single-piece and double-piece connecting devices for electrical circuit elements having tab terminals or tab-shaped terminals.

In the case of a single piece, it is used for a tab terminal with a relatively small current, while in the case of a double piece, the terminal piece to be inserted and the contact piece come into tight direct contact, the contact area is large, and insertion is easy, and contact resistance is also low. Since it is small and the height after insertion can be reduced, it is used as a connection device for electrical circuit elements fixedly equipped with a plurality of tab terminals such as small fuses, or as a connection device for tab terminals for relatively large currents.

In the case of such a double-piece type connecting device, there is a constant gap between the contact piece whose parts are flat, the two extension pieces connected to the contact piece, and the contact piece whose end face is flat. a first contact having a pressing part curved into a cylindrical shape so as to face each other and applying a large pressing force when inserting the tab terminal; and a flat contact part inserted into the first contact. A double-piece type connecting device has been completed by separately forming opposing contact portions and a second contact having a conductive wire connection piece connected to the end thereof and combining them.

However, in this case, when only the second contact is inserted, the pressing part does not work effectively and the second contact comes off immediately from the first contact, making it inconvenient to handle. The contactor itself also comes off from the mounting housing, board hole, etc., making it impossible to automate assembly.

This invention aims to eliminate all of the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for solving the problems] Each of the above-mentioned problems is caused by the part protruding from the upper edge of the central flat plate part of the tab holding part, which is formed by curving both sides of the conductive metal plate to the same side to form an arcuate tab holding piece. is curved outward to form a first tab terminal guide part, and is engaged with a locking hole formed on a side surface of the tab clamping piece between the inner surface of the tab clamping part and each edge of the tab clamping piece. A conductive tab forming piece having a locking protrusion and a connecting piece is inserted and locked and held opposite the tab holding piece,
A second tab terminal guide portion protruding from the upper edge of the tab forming piece is curved in the opposite direction to the first tab terminal guide portion and is opposed to the first tab terminal guide portion. Another conductive tab terminal is press-fitted between the tab terminal guide part and the tab terminal is firmly clamped in surface contact between the inner surface of the tab holding part and the inner surface of the tab forming piece to establish an electrical connection. In addition, the problem can be solved by inserting a receptacle into the mounting hole of the member to be mounted, and inserting and locking the locking protrusion into the locking hole.

[Function] Both sides of the conductive metal plate are curved to the same side to form an arcuate tab clamping piece.The part protruding from the upper edge of the central flat plate part of the tab clamping part is curved outward to guide the first tab terminal. and a connecting piece and a locking protrusion that engages with a locking hole formed in a side surface of the tab gripping piece between the inner surface of the tab gripping part and each edge of the tab gripping piece. The tab forming piece is inserted and locked and held facing the tab holding piece, and the second tab terminal guide part protruding from the upper edge of the tab forming piece is bent in the opposite direction to the first tab terminal guide part. another conductive tab terminal is press-fitted between the first tab terminal guide part and the second tab terminal guide part so that the inner surface of the tab holding part and the inner surface of the tab forming piece Electrical connections can be made by tightly clamping the tab terminals in surface contact.
