Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact element, designed as a one-piece stamped and bent part, with a latching element for fixing the contact element in a contact chamber of a connector, furthermore with a first contact spring which at least partially extends into a receiving area of the contact element for making contact with a mating contact introduced into the receiving area, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a generic contact element is from EP 2 193 577 B1 known.
  • a metal part punched out flat with the necessary contours is used as the starting point for producing such a contact element.
  • Manufacturing on the basis of such a flat structure in a stamping and bending process has the advantage that the desired geometries of the contact element for realizing its later function in the connector can be made possible very easily and, above all, economically, that is to say inexpensively in large numbers.
  • the contact element Since the contact element is inserted into a contact chamber of a connector after completion and arrangement at one end of an electrical conductor (for example a punched grid, a cable or the like), it must be locked there.
  • at least one lock (called primary lock) is provided by means of a latching element which is designed to be resilient.
  • plug connections consisting of plug connectors and mating plug connectors that interact with them, are exposed to very high stresses in practice, especially in the automotive sector. These stresses are above all the effects of moisture, dirt, vibrations and temperature differences. These impairments often lead to difficulties in making electrical contact in the contact area, so that the required signal transmission, energy transmission or the like via the plug connection is impaired or no longer guaranteed. In the worst case, these effects on the contacts can cause electrical contact to fail completely.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a known contact element that ensures stable and reliable contact over a very long period of time and that can be produced efficiently in large numbers.
  • the one contact spring is assigned a second contact spring opposite, which is also formed by the stamped and bent part.
  • the second contact spring advantageously increases the contact reliability, since in the event that problems should arise in the contact area between the first contact spring and the contact element resting on it, the second contact spring is also still on the mating contact that was introduced into the receiving area, is applied. This significantly increases the contact reliability, in particular with regard to the entire service life of the plug connection.
  • such a contact element with two contact springs can be produced efficiently, that is to say in large numbers, very simply in that the second contact spring is also formed by the stamped and bent part, that is, the flat component in the initial state.
  • the contours of the second contact spring and the connection to the base material can be easily realized using a stamping process. Once this has been done, the flat part bent in the required manner in the desired dimensions until the finished contact element is available.
  • the contact element is designed in a particularly advantageous manner completely as a one-piece stamped and bent part without further parts for realizing the contact element (apart from the electrical conductor).
  • the basic concept of the one-piece stamped and bent part should not be abandoned, that is, the components to be attached are only the smallest components.
  • the second contact spring starts from the stamped and bent part.
  • the preferably elongated second contact spring is arranged with one end on the stamped and bent part, i.e. the base body of the contact element, and protrudes into the receiving area for the mating contact so that the second contact spring is deflected when the mating contact is introduced into the receiving area , whereby a spring force acts on the mating contact.
  • the second contact spring is deflected around the point at which it is arranged with its one end on the stamped and bent part. The free end can move on a circular path and be deflected in the desired manner in order to enable the mating contact to be introduced into the receiving area.
  • the two ends of the second contact spring start from the stamped and bent part.
  • the second contact spring which is preferably again elongated, does not have a free end, but rather the two ends are attached to the base body of the contact element, namely the stamped and bent part.
  • the second contact spring extends at least partially into the receiving area for the mating contact, for example through an arc shape between the two ends, a wave shape or the like.
  • the second contact spring with its two ends on the base body (Stamped and bent part) of the contact element is arranged, slightly after and thus comes to rest on the introduced mating contact, whereby a contact force is applied to the mating contact.
  • the second contact spring extends from the stamped and bent part via a transverse web with at least one end, preferably with both of its ends.
  • a transverse web which on the one hand is also formed by the stamped and bent part and starts from it, but on the other hand is also spaced axially from the base body (stamped and bent part), has the advantage that moving the second contact spring in the axial direction and / or transversely this can be implemented both during the introduction of the mating contact into the receiving area and afterwards.
  • This movement takes place, for example, in the micrometer range and has the advantage that movements of the mating contact are cushioned via the at least one transverse web in such a way that the second contact spring is constantly in contact with the mating contact in order to advantageously achieve a relative movement between the mating contact and the second contact spring prevent.
  • the latching element has a stop element which interacts with the stamped and bent part.
  • This stop element present on the locking element ensures that the locking element initially protrudes as required from the stamped and bent part, i.e. the base body of the contact element, in order to come to rest in a recess in the contact chamber of the connector when it is inserted there. This means that the locking element in the direction of the base body of the contact element is deflected so that the contact element can be inserted into the contact chamber. If it is in its target position, the latching element, which was initially slightly compressed, jumps out again into the associated recess in the contact chamber in order to implement the primary locking.
  • a stop element is advantageously provided on the locking element, which limits the path of the locking element in the direction of the stamped and bent part.
  • the stop element of the latching element can be a separate component which is arranged on the latching element in a form-fitting and / or cohesive manner. In a particularly advantageous manner, the stop element is already produced by punching out the latching element in order to produce the flat output part of the contact element.
  • the stop element interacts with the stamped and bent part via a stop.
  • the stop is advantageously also formed by the stamped and bent part, but can also be a separate component to be arranged in a form-fitting and / or cohesive manner.
  • the travel limit for the stop element can be set in a defined manner.
  • this stop which is preferably oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the entire contact element, can advantageously increase the stability of the contact element.
  • a free end of the first contact spring interacts with a stop of the stamped and bent part, preferably the aforementioned stop. This limits the movement of the first contact spring when the mating contact is inserted into the receiving area of the contact element.
  • the contact element has at least one projection for the mating contact in its axial course of the receiving area.
  • a projection it is possible to guide the mating contact in a targeted manner when it is inserted into the receiving area.
  • this prevents the mating contact from coming into contact over a large area with the corresponding bearing surfaces there when it is introduced into the receiving area.
  • specific contact points are defined. These contact points are largely defined by the contact surfaces of the two contact springs on the mating contact.
  • the at least one projection prevents additional surfaces of the mating contact from resting against other surfaces of the receiving area of the contact element.
  • the at least one projection is provided in the receiving area in front of and / or behind the contact springs.
  • defined contact surfaces of the mating contact can be set in a targeted manner in the receiving area of the contact element.
  • projections are particularly advantageous both in front of and behind the contact springs. It is also advantageous if these projections are provided on all four opposite surfaces of the receiving area in front of and / or behind the contact springs.
  • the at least one projection is formed as a stamping through the stamped and bent part.
  • the receiving area and / or a hollow chamber running parallel to the receiving area from the stamped and bent part is closed at the end.
  • the front side defines the area in which the mating contact is used.
  • the opening of the hollow chamber is closed on the front side. This can be done in that the closure takes place through a region of the stamped and bent part itself.
  • the inlet opening of the hollow chamber can also be closed on the end face by a separate component with a form fit and / or material fit.
  • the front opening of the hollow chamber can be closed in such a way that the contact chamber or the housing of the connector is inserted into the contact element, is designed in such a way that the front area of the hollow chamber is closed after the contact element has been inserted into the contact chamber becomes.

  • the contact element is provided with the reference number 1.
  • the starting point is a flat stamped and bent part 2, which has been punched out of a suitable flat and electrically conductive material in the desired contours ( Figure 1 ).
  • Figures 2 to 9 show representations of the contact element 1 after the stamping and bending process has been carried out, that is, after the in Figure 1 flat stamped and bent part 2 shown has been brought into the desired three-dimensional shape.
  • the Figures 2 to 4 show, in various three-dimensional views, the contact element 1, which has crimp wings 3 and strain relief wings 4 for arrangement on an electrical conductor, not shown, of a cable in a manner known per se.
  • These wings 3, 4 are present in a preferred manner, since with them a quick and efficient arrangement of the contact element 1 on the electrical conductor and thus on the cable is given.
  • Alternative configurations for the arrangement of the contact element 1 at the end of the electrical conductor of the cable are thus also conceivable, so that the crimping wing 3 and the strain relief wing 4 do not necessarily have to be present, but can be replaced by other elements.
  • the finished contact element 1 has a contact area 5 in the front area of its elongated extent, a latching element 6 being present there.
  • This latching element 6 is formed by the stamped and bent part 2 and is resiliently arranged at a deflection point on the latter. If the contact element 1 is inserted into a contact chamber, not shown here, of the connector, the latching element 6, when viewing the Figure 2 deflected downwards so that all three surfaces O1, O2 and O3 are in one plane. After the contact element 1 has reached its final position in the contact chamber, due to a corresponding recess in the contact chamber, it is possible for the contact element 6 to deflect again, so that the surfaces O1 and O2 are still aligned, but no longer the surface O3 .
  • the contact element 1 has a first contact spring 7 also formed by the stamped and bent part.
  • FIG 3 it can be seen that there is a receiving area 8 in which a mating contact, not shown, is introduced. Above and running parallel to the receiving area 8, a hollow chamber 9 is formed by the stamped and bent part 2. Those areas that form the hollow chamber 9 are required in order to be able to arrange the locking element 6 here.

  • the stop element 12 is advantageously arranged at the free end of the latching element 6 and can optionally extend beyond the free end of the latching element 6.
  • the stop element 12 and the associated area of the stamped and bent part 2 are designed so that only the smallest possible free space between the free end of the latching element 6 or the stop element 12 and the adjacent fixed areas of the stamped and bent part is given.
