- An electrical connection terminal which has a U-shaped open clamping spring and designed as a corner angle busbar piece.
- the busbar piece has a retaining leg arranged perpendicular to the conductor insertion direction and a contact leg, wherein a rectangular opening is formed in the retaining leg, through which the electrical conductor to be connected can be inserted.
- the U-shaped clamping spring is inserted and held with the ends of its two legs in the opening so that the rear spring bow of the clamping spring is in the conductor insertion direction in front of the opening and the clamping leg of the clamping spring presses an inserted electrical conductor against the contact legs, so that the Clamping spring and the busbar piece form a spring terminal connection.
- Similar electrical terminals, with a substantially U-shaped clamping spring and a metal part are also from the DE 203 12 861 U1 and the DE 202 10 105 U1 known. All these known terminals have in common that the clamping spring with the ends of its two legs in one Opening of the metal part is inserted, so that when opening the clamping spring there is a risk that the clamping spring slips.
- loop-shaped clamping springs in electrical connection or connection terminals from the prior art for example, the DE 197 11 051 1A or the DE 198 02 945 C2 , known, namely as so-called tension springs in tension spring terminals.
- Spring-cage terminals have established themselves over time in addition to screw terminals on the market and millions of times used in particular as terminal blocks.
- the advantage of the spring clamp terminals compared to the screw terminals is that spring clamp terminals allow for faster and easier wiring.
- To actuate the tension spring clamp requires only one operating tool, such as a screwdriver, which is inserted to open the terminal in an operating shaft. The tip of the screwdriver tensions the tension spring, which opens the clamping point.
- a conductor to be connected can then be inserted through the recess in the clamping leg. After pulling out the screwdriver, the conductor is pulled through the lower edge of the recess against a busbar connected to the tension spring and thereby electrically contacted.
- the known tension spring terminals differ in their design and in their function significantly from the connection or connection terminal described above.
- the conductor to be connected pulled by the clamping leg against the busbar.
- the conductor to be connected is pressed by the clamping leg against a region of the metal part.
- an electrical connection or connection terminal described above, from which the invention proceeds, is known from the DE 10 2004 046 471 B3 known.
- the clamping spring is not U-shaped - as in the from DE 196 54 611 A1 known connection terminal - but loop-shaped, wherein in the plant leg of the clamping spring, which is not parallel but substantially perpendicular to the insertion of the electrical conductor to be connected, a Recess is arranged for insertion of an electrical conductor to be connected.
- the clamping leg and the abutment leg of the clamping spring are bent towards each other so that the end of the clamping leg extends through the recess.
- the fixing of clamping spring and metal part takes place in that the clamping spring is fitted with its recess on the metal part.
- two fastening sections are formed on the metal part, which are both inserted opposite to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor to be connected through the recess.
- For mounting the clamping spring on the metal part of the plant leg is thus inserted with its recess on the two mounting portions of the metal part, so that the recess surrounds the two mounting portions like a frame.
- a holding portion of the plant leg of the clamping spring is punched free, which is bent substantially perpendicular to the plant leg and engages behind the attachment portion of the retaining leg from the outside.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object in the electrical connection or connection terminal described above to further improve the fixation of clamping spring and metal part.
- a locking projection and the holding portion of the abutment leg formed an opening so that engages in the assembled state of clamping spring and metal part of the locking projection into the opening and thereby fixes the position of the clamping spring additionally.
- the latching projection in this case preferably has a bevel, so that a latching of the latching projection allows little effort, while a larger force is required to release the latching connection.
- the fixation of the clamping spring on the metal part is preferably further increased in that the clamping spring is clamped in the assembled state in the manner of a press fit between the mounting portions of the contact leg and the retaining leg.
- the end of the clamping leg of the clamping spring on the contact leg of the metal part that the holding portion of the abutment leg is pressed against the voltage applied to its outer mounting portion of the retaining leg.
- the holding portion is always pressed by the spring force of the clamping spring against the mounting portion of the retaining leg, even if no electrical conductor is inserted into the nip.
- the contact pressure is increased even further, so that it can not come to an unwanted tilting of the clamping spring and thus to a release of the clamping spring from the metal part.
- the proper position of the clamping spring on the metal part is additionally ensured that at the end of the retaining limb preferably two stops are formed, which are laterally spaced from the mounting portion of the retaining leg.
- the clamping spring and metal part of the plant leg of the clamping spring can then rest against the stops, so that a tilting of the clamping spring in the direction of the metal part is prevented.
- the clamping spring is thus fixed on the one hand by the recess extending through the mounting portion of the contact leg and on the other side by the mounting portion and the stops of the contact leg securely in its predetermined position.
- the attachment portion of the contact leg is bent such that the attachment portion forms an insertion funnel for the electrical conductor to be connected together with the end of the clamping leg of the clamping spring.
- the electrical connection or connection terminal according to the invention can be mounted directly on a printed circuit board, in which case, in particular, the contact leg of the metal part or a plug part connected to the metal part is soldered to the printed circuit board.
- the clamping spring and the metal part are arranged in an insulating housing, wherein the insulating housing has a Portereinmentsöfmung for inserting the electrical conductor to be connected and an actuating opening for insertion of an actuating tool. Due to the design of the housing, an additional fixation of the clamping spring and the metal part can be realized. In addition, too wide opening of the clamping spring and thus destruction of the clamping spring can be prevented by the formation of the actuating opening and the arrangement of corresponding projections.
- the electrical connection or connection terminal can also be used for fine-wire flexible conductor, in which an opening of the clamping spring by inserting the electrical conductor is not possible.
- an already clamped electrical conductor can again be easily released from the clamping point.
- a kink is formed on the clamping leg of the clamping spring, which is aligned in the direction of the spring force of the clamping leg, so that the tip of the actuating tool to open the clamping spring can act on the kink.
- the formed on the clamping leg kink allows easier engagement of the tip of the actuating tool on the clamping leg to open the clamping spring.
- the insertion depth of the actuating tool required for completely opening the clamping spring can thereby be reduced into the actuating opening.
- connection or connection terminal for connecting a - only in Fig. 1

In the plant leg 5 while a recess 7 is formed for insertion of the conductor 1. At the end 8 of the clamping leg 4 far end of the recess 7, a holding portion 9 is punched out of the plant leg 5 and bent substantially perpendicular to the plant leg 5 in the insertion direction of the electrical conductor 1 to be connected.
- the metal part 3 has a contact leg 10, an opposite holding leg 11 and a leg 12 connecting the legs 10, 11.
- the contact leg 10 extends substantially parallel to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor 1 to be connected, so that the end 8 of the clamping leg 4 of the clamping spring 2 and the contact leg 10 of the metal part 3 form a spring terminal connection for the electrical conductor 1 to be connected.
- the ends of the two legs 10, 11 each have a fixing portion 13, 14.
- the attachment portion 13 of the contact leg 10 extends opposite to the insertion of the electrical conductor 1 to be connected through the recess 7 in the plant leg 5.
- the attachment portion 14 of the retaining leg 11 is located on the recess 7 facing away from the outside of the holding portion 9, so that the attachment portion 14 does not extend through the recess 7 in the plant leg 5.
- alignment of clamping spring 2 and metal part 3 thus overlaps the attachment portion 14 of the retaining leg 11, the holding portion 9 of the plant leg fifth

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme zum Anschließen eines elektrischen Leiters, mit einer Klemmfeder und mit einem Metallteil, wobei die Klemmfeder einen Klemmschenkel und einen Anlageschenkel aufweist, in dem Anlageschenkel eine Ausnehmung zum Einstecken des anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters ausgebildet ist, der Klemmschenkel und der Anlageschenkel der Klemmfeder derart aufeinander zugebogen sind, daß sich das Ende des Klemmschenkels durch die Ausnehmung hindurcherstreckt, an dem dem Ende des Klemmschenkels fernen Ende der Ausnehmung ein Halteabschnitt aus dem Anlageschenkel freigestanzt und in Einsteckrichtung des anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters abgebogen ist, das Metallteil einen Kontaktschenkel, einen gegenüberliegenden Halteschenkel und einen die Schenkel verbindenden Steg aufweist, wobei das Ende des Klemmschenkels der Klemmfeder und der Kontaktschenkel des Metallteils einen Federkraftklemmanschluß für den anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter bilden, und wobei die Enden der Kontakt- bzw. Halteschenkel jeweils einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweisen und sich der Befestigungsabschnitt des Kontaktschenkels entgegengesetzt zur Einsteckrichtung des anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters durch die Ausnehmung erstreckt.The invention relates to an electrical connection or connection terminal for connecting an electrical conductor, with a clamping spring and a metal part, wherein the clamping spring has a clamping leg and a plant leg, in the plant leg is formed a recess for insertion of the electrical conductor to be connected, the clamping leg and the plant leg of the clamping spring are bent towards each other so that the end of the clamping leg extends through the recess at the end of the clamping leg distal end of the recess a holding portion of the plant leg is punched and bent in the insertion direction of the electrical conductor to be connected, the metal part a contact leg , an opposite holding leg and a leg connecting the web, wherein the end of the clamping leg of the clamping spring and the contact leg of the metal part a spring terminal connection for the e form lektrischen conductor, and wherein the ends of the contact or holding leg each having a mounting portion and extending the attachment portion of the contact leg opposite to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor to be connected through the recess.
Aus der
Ähnliche elektrische Anschlußklemmen, mit einer im wesentlichen U-förmige Klemmfeder und einem Metallteil sind auch aus der
Daneben sind auch schlaufenförmige Klemmfedern bei elektrischen Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemmen aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise der
Die bekannten Zugfederklemmen unterscheiden sich jedoch in ihrer Ausgestaltung und in ihrer Funktion deutlich von der eingangs beschriebenen Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme. Bei den bekannten schlaufenförmigen Zugfedern wird - entsprechend ihrem Namen - der anzuschließende Leiter vom Klemmschenkel gegen die Stromschiene gezogen. Im Unterschied dazu wird bei den zuvor beschriebenen Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemmen der anzuschließende Leiter vom Klemmschenkel gegen einen Bereich des Metallteils gedrückt.However, the known tension spring terminals differ in their design and in their function significantly from the connection or connection terminal described above. In the known loop-shaped tension springs - according to their name - the conductor to be connected pulled by the clamping leg against the busbar. In contrast, in the connection or connection terminals described above, the conductor to be connected is pressed by the clamping leg against a region of the metal part.
Eine eingangs beschriebene elektrische Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme, von der die Erfindung ausgeht, ist aus der
Bei der bekannten Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme erfolgt die Fixierung von Klemmfeder und Metallteil dadurch, daß die Klemmfeder mit ihrer Ausnehmung auf das Metallteil aufgesteckt wird. Zur Befestigung der Klemmfeder relativ zum Metallteil sind dazu am Metallteil zwei Befestigungsabschnitte ausgebildet, die beide entgegengesetzt zur Einsteckrichtung des anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters durch die Ausnehmung eingesteckt sind. Zur Montage der Klemmfeder an dem Metallteil wird somit der Anlageschenkel mit seiner Ausnehmung über die beiden Befestigungsabschnitte des Metallteils gesteckt, so daß die Ausnehmung die beiden Befestigungsabschnitte rahmenartig umgreift. Zusätzlich ist an dem dem Ende des Klemmschenkels fernen Ende der Ausnehmung ein Halteabschnitt aus dem Anlageschenkel der Klemmfeder freigestanzt, der im wesentlichen senkrecht zum Anlageschenkel abgebogen ist und den Befestigungsabschnitt des Halteschenkels von außen hintergreift.In the known connection or connection terminal, the fixing of clamping spring and metal part takes place in that the clamping spring is fitted with its recess on the metal part. For fastening the clamping spring relative to the metal part, two fastening sections are formed on the metal part, which are both inserted opposite to the insertion direction of the electrical conductor to be connected through the recess. For mounting the clamping spring on the metal part of the plant leg is thus inserted with its recess on the two mounting portions of the metal part, so that the recess surrounds the two mounting portions like a frame. In addition, at the end of the clamping leg distal end of the recess, a holding portion of the plant leg of the clamping spring is punched free, which is bent substantially perpendicular to the plant leg and engages behind the attachment portion of the retaining leg from the outside.
Dennoch kann auch bei dieser Verbindungsklemme die Gefahr bestehen, daß sich die Klemmfeder von Metallteil löst bzw. abhebt. Diese Gefahr besteht insbesondere bei einer Betätigung der Klemmfeder, d. h. beim Einstecken eines Leiters in die Klemmstelle oder beim Öffnen der Klemmfeder, da dann die Klemmfeder verkippen kann, so daß sich nur noch der Befestigungsabschnitt des Kontaktschenkels durch die Ausnehmung erstreckt. Die Gefahr, daß beim Öffnen der Klemmfeder die Klemmfeder verrutscht, besteht insbesondere dann, wenn die Klemmfeder nicht durch ein sie umgebendes Gehäuse in ihrer Lage gehalten wird.Nevertheless, even with this connection terminal, there is a risk that the clamping spring will come off metal parts or lift off. This danger is particularly at an operation of the clamping spring, d. H. when inserting a conductor into the nip or when opening the clamping spring, since then the clamping spring can tilt, so that only the attachment portion of the contact leg extends through the recess. The risk that the clamping spring slips when opening the clamping spring, in particular, when the clamping spring is not held by a surrounding housing in position.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei der eingangs beschriebene elektrische Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme die Fixierung von Klemmfeder und Metallteil weiter zu verbessern.The present invention is therefore based on the object in the electrical connection or connection terminal described above to further improve the fixation of clamping spring and metal part.
Diese Aufgabe ist bei der eingangs beschriebenen elektrischen Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Befestigungsabschnitt des Halteschenkels an der der Ausnehmung abgewandten Außenseite des Halteabschnitts des Anlageschenkels anliegt. Im Unterschied zu der aus der
Vorzugsweise ist darüber hinaus vorgesehen, daß am Befestigungsabschnitt des Halteschenkels ein Rastvorsprung und im Halteabschnitt des Anlageschenkels eine Öffnung ausgebildet, so daß im montierten Zustand von Klemmfeder und Metallteil der Rastvorsprung in die Öffnung eingreift und dadurch die Lage der Klemmfeder zusätzlich fixiert. Der Rastvorsprung weist dabei vorzugsweise eine Schräge auf, so daß ein Einrasten des Rastvorsprunges mit geringem Kraftaufwand ermöglicht, während zum Lösen der Rastverbindung eine größere Kraft erforderlich ist.In addition, it is preferably provided that on the mounting portion of the retaining leg a locking projection and the holding portion of the abutment leg formed an opening so that engages in the assembled state of clamping spring and metal part of the locking projection into the opening and thereby fixes the position of the clamping spring additionally. The latching projection in this case preferably has a bevel, so that a latching of the latching projection allows little effort, while a larger force is required to release the latching connection.
Die Fixierung der Klemmfeder an dem Metallteil ist vorzugsweise dadurch weiter erhöht, daß die Klemmfeder im montierten Zustand in der Art eines Preßsitzes zwischen den Befestigungsabschnitten des Kontaktschenkels und des Halteschenkels eingeklemmt ist. Hierzu liegt im montierten Zustand von Klemmfeder und Metallteil das Ende des Klemmschenkels der Klemmfeder derart am Kontaktschenkel des Metallteils an, daß der Halteabschnitts des Anlageschenkels gegen den an seiner Außenseite anliegenden Befestigungsabschnitt des Halteschenkels gedrückt wird. Im montierten Zustand von Klemmfeder und Metallteil wird somit auch dann der Halteabschnitt immer durch die Federkraft der Klemmfeder gegen den Befestigungsabschnitt des Halteschenkels gedrückt, wenn noch kein elektrischer Leiter in die Klemmstelle eingeführt ist. Bei einer Betätigung der Klemmfeder wird die Anpreßkraft sogar noch weiter erhöht, so daß es nicht zu einem ungewollten Verkippen der Klemmfeder und damit zu einem Lösen der Klemmfeder vom Metallteil kommen kann.The fixation of the clamping spring on the metal part is preferably further increased in that the clamping spring is clamped in the assembled state in the manner of a press fit between the mounting portions of the contact leg and the retaining leg. For this purpose, in the assembled state of the clamping spring and metal part, the end of the clamping leg of the clamping spring on the contact leg of the metal part, that the holding portion of the abutment leg is pressed against the voltage applied to its outer mounting portion of the retaining leg. In the assembled state of clamping spring and metal part and thus the holding portion is always pressed by the spring force of the clamping spring against the mounting portion of the retaining leg, even if no electrical conductor is inserted into the nip. Upon actuation of the clamping spring, the contact pressure is increased even further, so that it can not come to an unwanted tilting of the clamping spring and thus to a release of the clamping spring from the metal part.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme wird die ordnungsgemäße Lage der Klemmfeder am Metallteil dadurch zusätzlich sichergestellt, daß am Ende des Halteschenkels vorzugsweise zwei Anschläge ausgebildet sind, die seitlich beabstandet vom Befestigungsabschnitt des Halteschenkels angeordnet sind. Im montierten Zustand von Klemmfeder und Metallteil kann dann der Anlageschenkel der Klemmfeder an den Anschlägen anliegen, so daß auch ein Verkippen der Klemmfeder in Richtung des Metallteils verhindert wird. Die Klemmfeder ist somit auf der einen Seite durch den durch die Ausnehmung sich erstreckenden Befestigungsabschnitt des Kontaktschenkels und auf der anderen Seite durch den Befestigungsabschnitt und die Anschläge des Kontaktschenkels sicher in ihrer vorgegebenen Lage fixiert.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the electrical connection or connection terminal according to the invention, the proper position of the clamping spring on the metal part is additionally ensured that at the end of the retaining limb preferably two stops are formed, which are laterally spaced from the mounting portion of the retaining leg. In the assembled state of the clamping spring and metal part of the plant leg of the clamping spring can then rest against the stops, so that a tilting of the clamping spring in the direction of the metal part is prevented. The clamping spring is thus fixed on the one hand by the recess extending through the mounting portion of the contact leg and on the other side by the mounting portion and the stops of the contact leg securely in its predetermined position.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Befestigungsabschnitt des Kontaktschenkels derart abgebogen, daß der Befestigungsabschnitt zusammen mit dem Ende des Klemmschenkels der Klemmfeder einen Einführtrichter für den anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter bildet. Durch die Ausbildung des Einführtrichters wird somit die Spitze eines anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters automatisch richtig positioniert, so daß ein einfaches und exaktes Anschließen eines elektrischen Leiters an die elektrische Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme möglich ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the attachment portion of the contact leg is bent such that the attachment portion forms an insertion funnel for the electrical conductor to be connected together with the end of the clamping leg of the clamping spring. By forming the insertion funnel thus the tip of an electrical conductor to be connected is automatically positioned correctly, so that a simple and accurate connection of an electrical conductor to the electrical connection or connection terminal is possible.
Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme kann direkt auf einer Leiterplatte montiert sein, wobei dann insbesondere der Kontaktschenkel des Metallteils oder ein mit dem Metallteil verbundener Steckerteil mit der Leiterplatte verlötet ist. Vorzugsweise sind die Klemmfeder und das Metallteil jedoch in einem Isoliergehäuse angeordnet, wobei das Isoliergehäuse eine Leitereinführungsöfmung zum Einführen des anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters und eine Betätigungsöffnung zum Einführen eines Betätigungswerkzeugs aufweist. Durch die Ausgestaltung des Gehäuses kann eine zusätzliche Fixierung der Klemmfeder und des Metallteils realisiert werden. Darüber hinaus kann durch die Ausbildung der Betätigungsöffnung sowie die Anordnung entsprechender Vorsprünge ein zu weites öffnen der Klemmfeder und damit eine Zerstörung der Klemmfeder verhindert werden.The electrical connection or connection terminal according to the invention can be mounted directly on a printed circuit board, in which case, in particular, the contact leg of the metal part or a plug part connected to the metal part is soldered to the printed circuit board. Preferably, however, the clamping spring and the metal part are arranged in an insulating housing, wherein the insulating housing has a Leitereinführungsöfmung for inserting the electrical conductor to be connected and an actuating opening for insertion of an actuating tool. Due to the design of the housing, an additional fixation of the clamping spring and the metal part can be realized. In addition, too wide opening of the clamping spring and thus destruction of the clamping spring can be prevented by the formation of the actuating opening and the arrangement of corresponding projections.
Durch das Ausbilden der Betätigungsöffnung zum Einführen eines Betätigungswerkzeugs wird zum einen erreicht, daß das elektrische Anschluß- oder Verbindungsklemme auch für feindrähtige flexible Leiter verwendet werden kann, bei denen ein Öffnen der Klemmfeder durch Einstecken des elektrischen Leiters nicht möglich ist. Zum anderen kann durch das Öffnen der Klemmfeder mit Hilfe des Betätigungswerkzeugs auch ein bereits geklemmter elektrischer Leiter wieder einfach aus der Klemmstelle gelöst werden.By forming the actuating opening for insertion of an actuating tool is achieved on the one hand, that the electrical connection or connection terminal can also be used for fine-wire flexible conductor, in which an opening of the clamping spring by inserting the electrical conductor is not possible. On the other hand, by opening the clamping spring with the aid of the actuating tool, an already clamped electrical conductor can again be easily released from the clamping point.
Gemäß einer letzten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, ist am Klemmschenkel der Klemmfeder ein Knick ausgebildet, der in Richtung der Federkraft des Klemmschenkels ausgerichtet ist, so daß die Spitze des Betätigungswerkzeugs zum Öffnen der Klemmfeder an dem Knick angreifen kann. Der an dem Klemmschenkel ausgebildete Knick ermöglicht dabei ein einfacheres Angreifen der Spitze des Betätigungswerkzeugs am Klemmschenkel zum Öffnen der Klemmfeder. Außerdem kann dadurch die zum vollständigen Öffnen der Klemmfeder erforderliche Einstecktiefe des Betätigungswerkzeugs in die Betätigungsöffnung reduziert werden.According to a last advantageous embodiment of the invention, a kink is formed on the clamping leg of the clamping spring, which is aligned in the direction of the spring force of the clamping leg, so that the tip of the actuating tool to open the clamping spring can act on the kink. The formed on the clamping leg kink allows easier engagement of the tip of the actuating tool on the clamping leg to open the clamping spring. In addition, the insertion depth of the actuating tool required for completely opening the clamping spring can thereby be reduced into the actuating opening.
