Definitions
- the invention relates to a flat plug contact element for electrical plug connections, consisting of a stamped and bent part with a line connection element at one end of the contact element, with an intermediate area following the line connection element and bent into a box with a rectangular cross section with two side walls, a bottom wall connecting them and a roof wall and with a contact knife protruding from the intermediate area, thicker than the other areas and consisting of two halves at the other end of the contact element.
- Such flat plug contact members are used in various electrical connectors, eg. B. used in automotive connectors.
- spring socket contacts are also customary, which are usually present in large numbers in contact chambers in an insulating housing, for. B. a female connector can be used.
- a female connector can be used.
- the invention has for its object to provide a tab connector contact member of the type mentioned without impairing its actual and possibly additional functions, which can be used in existing and used for larger contacts receptacle body.
- the intermediate area is formed with projections projecting laterally in the area of the two side walls and the size these approaches of the difference between the cross section of the intermediate area and the cross section of a rectangular space provided for receiving the intermediate area is adapted, the cross section of which, at least in the direction transverse to the side walls of the intermediate area, is larger than the corresponding cross section of the intermediate area.
- Such a flat corner contact element has a fundamentally similar or even the same structure as conventional socket contacts and has an intermediate region of box shape with a rectangular cross section. With a matching cross-section, it could therefore usually also be used in receiving spaces of existing insulating housings used for socket contacts.
- the intermediate area of the flat plug contact element according to the invention is designed with lateral shoulders. This makes it possible to insert the tab connector into existing receiving spaces, such as. B. use contact chambers of housings that are already used for wider socket contacts.
- the tab connector contact element according to the invention is compatible with an existing contact chamber and - with the chamber cross-section corresponding to the height of its intermediate area - at Inserted into such a contact chamber through its side lugs and its roof wall with a three-point support.
- the design of the tab connector contact element according to the invention with lateral approaches in the intermediate area has the advantage that a tab connector contact element made from a stamped and bent part can be produced with the same pitch using an existing machining tool and inserted into an existing contact chamber of an existing housing. To this way, the change in the pitch of a tab connector contact element, the production of a new processing tool and a new housing for accommodating a tab connector contact element are avoided.
- a symmetrical structure which is advantageous with regard to the guidance of a tab connector contact element according to the invention in a receptacle, results if two lugs protrude from each side wall and the lugs of one side wall are arranged opposite the lugs of the other side wall. It is advantageous for a stable arrangement of the tab connector contact element in a receptacle if the approaches are provided in the region of the transition from the bottom wall of the intermediate area to the side walls, so that the approaches are arranged at the corners of the bottom area of the contact element and the the contact element in the larger chamber supporting elements, namely the approaches and the roof wall, are provided opposite one another.
- Figures 1 to 3 a tab connector contact element in plan view, in
- FIG. 4 shows a flat plug contact element in a contact chamber
- Figure 5 is a development of a stamped and bent part of the
- the tab connector contact element 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is made of a stamped and bent part 2, z. B. made of a highly conductive Cu alloy, which - as the development of the stamped and bent part 2 hanging from a sheet metal strip 18 in FIG. 5 best shows - a connection area A at one end, an intermediate area Z following the connection area and one projecting therefrom Has contact area K at the other end.
- the stamped and bent part 2 has a uniform thickness, for. B. from 0.3 mm to about 0.4 mm.
- a line connection element is formed by bending, which is designed as a crimping or insulation displacement element 4.
- the intermediate area Z following the lateral incisions 5 of the connection area A has a bottom wall 6, two side walls 7 and 8 and a roof wall 9 which is attached to one of the side walls and is arranged such that the intermediate area Z in the bent state has a closed, has a rectangular box shape in cross section.
- the contact element of the flat plug contact element provided in the contact area K is formed by a contact knife 10 consisting of two halves 10a, 10b and - as described below - has twice the material thickness in the final state, that is to say a thickness of z. B. 0.63 mm or 0.8 mm.
- the first half 10a of the contact knife 10 with a width of z. B. 2.8 or 5.2 mm to the bottom wall 6 of the intermediate area Z.
- the knife half 10a runs in the longitudinal direction in alignment with the bottom wall and is formed with bevels 11 at the end.
- the second knife half 10b is of course as long as the first knife half 10a and is aligned in the longitudinal direction on the roof wall 9 of the intermediate area Z.
- the roof wall 9 is formed with a cut-out, resilient latching hook 22 for latching or primary securing when the contact member is arranged in the contact chamber of a housing.
- the production of the complete contact knife 10 and the final formation of the box-shaped intermediate region Z are now described below.
- the box shape of the intermediate area Z is created by folding the side walls 7, 8 and the roof wall 9 together at the bending lines B1, B2 and B3.
- the knife halves 10a and 10b are also laterally folded together to form a contact knife 10 with twice the original material thickness and brought to coincidence, the bevels 11 forming the knife tip.
- the intermediate area Z now has the shape of a box with a rectangular cross-section, against which the completely folded contact knife 10 protrudes centrally with respect to the height h of the intermediate area due to a corresponding approximately 90 ° offset 12.
- the base of the latching hook 22 goes over the crank 12 to the contact area in order to achieve the greatest possible spring length (elastic area) of the latching hook.
- the two knife halves 10a and 10b can additionally be mechanically connected to one another in the fully folded state.
- This connection is then advantageously carried out at two points 28, 29 in the region of the two ends of the contact knife 10, for. B. by an indentation 28 in the area of the central axis of the contact knife and two impressions 29, 30 or so-called clinch connections laterally and in mirror image to the central axis of the contact knife 10.
- the connections of the knife halves lie outside the contact area of the contact knife.
- the intermediate area Z of the flat plug contact element 1 is formed with projections 23 to 26 projecting laterally in the area of the two side walls 7, 8.
- the approaches 23, 24 being arranged on one side wall 7 lying opposite the approaches 25, 26 of the other side wall 8.
- the lugs 23 to 26 are lobe-shaped and provided with bevels 27 towards the contact knife 10. Since the flat plug contact element is made from a stamped and bent part, the tab-shaped projections 23 to 26 can be formed in a simple manner by separating cuts which are provided at least in the side walls 7, 8.
- the shoulders 23 to 26 and thus the corresponding separating cuts are provided in the area of the transition from the bottom wall 6 of the intermediate area Z to the side walls 7, 8. This can be seen particularly clearly in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5.
- the cross section of the intermediate region Z corresponds exactly to the cross section of the contact chamber 34, which, together with further contact chambers of the same size, is provided as a receiving space for similar flat plug contact members in a housing consisting of insulating material is. Otherwise, this housing can also be used to accommodate spring socket contacts with a cross section that corresponds exactly to the contact chamber 34.
- the flat plug contact element 1 is thus guided in a plug-compatible manner to the contact chamber 34 through the side lugs 23 to 26 and through the roof wall 9 opposite the lugs 23 to 26 and through the bottom wall 6 of the intermediate region Z in the contact chamber 34 supported.
- both side walls 7, 8 of the intermediate region Z are each formed on their longitudinal edges 13, 14 with a tab 15 or 16 bent inwards by 90 °, which extends so far into the interior of the box enough that they serve as overbend protection of the locking hook 22 when dismantling the contact member from the housing.
- a polarizing web 21 is formed which extends in the plug-in direction of the contact element 1 and which - as FIG. 2 shows - is torn out of the bottom wall 6 in a V-shape, but can also be cut out laterally. This is indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 3.
- the polarization bar 21 prevents incorrect insertion of the contact element 1 into the contact chamber 34 in FIG. 4.
- the rear edge 19 of the side walls 7, 8 together with the rear edge 20 of the roof wall 9 is a system for secondary securing in the arrangement of the contact element forms in a housing.
- the flap 16 is provided with an elongated free cut 17, primarily for manufacturing reasons.
- the illustrated, preferred embodiment of a contact element according to the invention forms a one-piece flat plug with a high current-carrying capacity, has a latching hook for primary securing and latching in an insulating housing, contact surfaces for a secondary securing as well as polarization against incorrect insertion and overbend protection for the latching hook.
- This embodiment thus fulfills all the requirements currently placed on such contact members and is also plug-compatible with existing contact chambers provided for wider contacts in existing housings.
