- phase, neutral and Erdleiter are injected, wherein the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstatt over the plug bridge and the device plug protrude far enough to be inserted into the socket, the phase, neutral and Erdleiter forest each Einf Have chamfers, wherein the phase and Nulleiterstatt each have a isolierEffe insulation and wherein the phase, neutral and Erdleiter forest is executed in each case as FaltX pulled from an initially flat punched metal sheet into its final spatial form, unfolded and during the injection process of Insulating body is filled in its cavities and interstices with plastic so that after the injection process of the phase, zero or Erdleiterstatt has its final contour.
- the special feature of this plug is that the Erdleiter 202 serves as a mechanical unlocking when plugging the device plug into the socket of the power or power supply network.
- This Erdleiter forest is longer than the phase and Nulleiter foreste, and only with the insertion of this Erdleiter forestes, it is possible that the other two pins can be inserted functionally.
- phase conductors and neutral conductors in the United Kingdom are rectangular 3.98 x 6.35 x 17.7 mm (+/- 0.08 x 0.13 x 0.5 mm), with the connector side 9.35 mm (+/- 0.15 mm) must be isolated.
- the earth conductor pin is to be mounted in the middle over the two other pins at a distance of 22.23 mm (+/- 0.13 mm).
- This pen is also rectangular in size, measuring 3.975 x 7.93 x 22.73 mm (+/- 0.08 x 0.13 x 0.5 mm), but without insulation.
- connection cable for the device to be connected on the one hand and the connection or plug pins for the socket are encapsulated ,
- the cable can not be disconnected from the plug.
- connection aids facilitate the secure connection of the cable.
- the plug pins can be connected on the plug side both via crimp and rivet contacts.
- jumper bridges are installed in large quantities in the production of device connectors. Since relatively small price differences already have a significant impact on competitiveness in the fiercely contested market, developments to reduce costs or material in this technical field are particularly important.
- a pin is described, which is formed from a rolled sheet metal strip.
- the interior of the connector pin can also be filled with plastic. In this way, only round pin shapes can be made.
- Object of the present invention is in contrast to improve a generic jumper of the type described above with the simplest technical means uncomplicated and inexpensive to go that can continue to be saved in the production of the jumper to a considerable extent material, the pins in the socket-side contacting however, have no plastic deposits.
- the folding pins of the DE 10 2009 049 369 A1 are made of a rectangular stamped part and unfolded so that the two narrow side edges (as rivet or crimp barrel and locking edge) lock on the plug side.
- the insertion bevels are unfolded from the middle of the stamped part. This inevitably creates a gap on the narrow side of the unfolded pen, which is then filled with plastic.
- the punched part is locked positively and non-positively at the narrow sides during unfolding.
- the cable-side connecting sleeve is punched out of the center of the stamped part and unfolded, instead of being unfolded from the end of the strip. Due to the fact that the short side edges of the rectangular stamped part form the insertion bevels, it is possible to form all surfaces in the socket-side contact area from the stamped part and thus avoid plastic deposits on all surfaces which have contact with live parts of the socket.
- the plug-in bridge according to the invention is characterized in that the flat stamped part, from which the phase, zero or earth conductor pin is pulled and unfolded into its final spatial form, is punched out and unfolded into a long metal sheet twice the width of the phase, Zero or Erdleiterstatts is. Long metal sheets can thus be placed in the processing machine. This simplifies production and handling. Since the metal sheets have the exact width twice the length of the respective pins, the amount of "metal waste" in production is drastically reduced.
- a further embodiment is characterized in that a cone-shaped hole is punched into the web with a punch that tapers in the front, which forms a rivet after unfolding.
- the rivet must not be soldered, welded or screwed, but is integrated in the folding pin.
- a development of the previous embodiments is characterized in that from the remaining between the punched sheet metal strips sheet metal pieces phase, zero or Erdleiterstatt be unfolded. This further reduces the amount of unused material and makes production more effective and faster.
- phase, zero or Erdleiter at the folds on noses and cutouts, wherein when folded, the noses come to lie deformed in the cutouts and thus allow a positive and non-positive connection. This allows an even more stable locking of the two halves of the folding pin.
- oblong holes are punched from the flat stamped part for the phase conductor pin or the neutral conductor mirror-symmetrical to the longitudinal axis, which are positioned after unfolding on the wide sides of the rectangular phase conductor pin or the neutral conductor pin and which later during encapsulation allow the plastic to flow in a particularly optimal manner around the points to be insulated.
- Another beneficial effect of this design is additional material savings.
- phase conductor pin and the neutral conductor pin have lateral cutouts in their connecting cable-side section, which receive the insulating plastic according to BS 1363 during the casting process.
- a stamping preferably from 0.5 mm to 0.3 mm exhibit.
- phase, neutral and Erdleiter each having a rivet at its connection cable end.
- the current-carrying contacts can be riveted on the plug side in a simple manner.
- the flat stampings for the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstatt of electrically conductive material preferably brass sheet, which is preferred because of its good electrical conductivity and mechanical stability properties and its relatively low tendency to corrosion as a starting material for the current-carrying parts.
- an embodiment is preferred, which is characterized in that an electrical fuse is provided against excessive current flow. This is prescribed in the aforementioned British standard BS 1363. Therefore, this embodiment is mandatory for jumper connectors intended for use in the UK.

Through these slots 12, the injection molding compound can better get into the interior of the phase or Nulleiterstatts 3 b, c. Side cutouts 13 and stampings 14 help to make the insulation 4 clean and to obtain the prescribed contours. Due to the illustrated construction, the injection-molding compound can flow into the interior of the phase or neutral conductor 3 b, c, but no plastic comes into contact with the form-fitting and force-locked metal surface of those surfaces which come into contact with the current-carrying parts of the socket with these live parts.
- the Erdleiter busy 3a shown in Fig. 5 Although it does not come into contact with permanently live parts of the socket, it may have to dissipate static charges or fault currents if necessary. For this reason, the British authorities also require from this pin a closed metal shell without plastic inclusions.

Erdleiterstift seine endgültige Kontur besitzt.The invention relates to a connector bridge for an electrical appliance plug for connecting electrical appliances, in particular household appliances, to a socket of an AC mains, wherein the appliance plug is formed as a unit by connected to the tail of a three-wire connection cable for the device, molded in an injection mold connector bridge, the In turn, the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstift in their cross section corresponding openings of the insulator in one and the same operation with the injection of the insulator with a different structure is constructed of a dimensionally stable insulating body for receiving and fixing a respective rectangular phase conductor pin, neutral conductor and Erdleiterstiftes. are injected, wherein the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstift over the plug bridge and the device plug protrude far enough to be inserted into the socket, the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstift each Einf Have chamfers, wherein the phase and Nulleiterstift each have a isolierkörperseitige insulation and wherein the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstift is executed in each case as Faltstift pulled from an initially flat punched metal sheet into its final spatial form, unfolded and during the injection process of Insulating body is filled in its cavities and interstices with plastic so that after the injection process of the phase, zero or Erdleiterstift has its final contour.
Eine derartige Steckerbrücke entsprechend dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist beispielsweise beschrieben in
Sie werden insbesondere in Großbritannien und im englischsprachigen Raum verwendet. Das besondere Merkmal dieser Stecker liegt darin, dass der Erdleiterstift als mechanische Entriegelung beim Einstecken des Gerätesteckers in die Steckdose des Strom- bzw. Spannungsversorgungsnetzes dient. Dieser Erdleiterstift ist länger ausgebildet als die Phasen- und Nulleiterstifte, und erst mit dem Einstecken dieses Erdleiterstiftes ist es möglich, dass auch die beiden anderen Stifte funktionsgerecht eingeführt werden können.They are used in particular in the UK and in English-speaking countries. The special feature of this plug is that the Erdleiterstift serves as a mechanical unlocking when plugging the device plug into the socket of the power or power supply network. This Erdleiterstift is longer than the phase and Nulleiterstifte, and only with the insertion of this Erdleiterstiftes, it is possible that the other two pins can be inserted functionally.
Gemäß der britischen Norm BS 1363 sind in Großbritannien Phasenleiter- und Nullleiter rechteckig mit den Maßen 3,98 x 6,35 x 17,7 mm (+/- 0,08 x 0,13 x 0,5 mm) auszuführen, wobei steckerseitig 9,35 mm (+/- 0,15 mm) isoliert sein müssen. Der Erdleiterstift ist in der Mitte über den beiden anderen Stiften anzubringen in einem Abstand von 22,23 mm (+/- 0,13 mm). Dieser Stift ist ebenfalls rechteckig auszuführen, in den Maßen 3,975 x 7,93 x 22,73 mm (+/- 0,08 x 0,13 x 0,5 mm) jedoch ohne Isolierung.According to British standard BS 1363, phase conductors and neutral conductors in the United Kingdom are rectangular 3.98 x 6.35 x 17.7 mm (+/- 0.08 x 0.13 x 0.5 mm), with the connector side 9.35 mm (+/- 0.15 mm) must be isolated. The earth conductor pin is to be mounted in the middle over the two other pins at a distance of 22.23 mm (+/- 0.13 mm). This pen is also rectangular in size, measuring 3.975 x 7.93 x 22.73 mm (+/- 0.08 x 0.13 x 0.5 mm), but without insulation.
Zusätzlich zu der oben beschriebenen mechanischen Sicherung bestehen die heutigen Gerätestecker aus Gründen der elektrischen Sicherheit aus gegossenen bzw. gespritzten Steckkörpern, in deren Inneren die elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Anschlusskabel für das anzuschließende Gerät einerseits und den Anschluss- bzw. Steckerstiften für die Steckdose andererseits eingekapselt sind. Im Allgemeinen kann das Kabel nicht vom Stecker getrennt werden. Verschiedenartige Anschlusshilfen erleichtern das sichere Anschließen der Leitungskabel. Die Steckstifte können steckerseitig sowohl über Crimp- als auch Nietkontakte angeschlossen werden.In addition to the mechanical fuse described above, the current device connectors for reasons of electrical safety made of molded or injection-molded plug bodies, in the interior of the electrical connection between the connection cable for the device to be connected on the one hand and the connection or plug pins for the socket are encapsulated , In general, the cable can not be disconnected from the plug. Various connection aids facilitate the secure connection of the cable. The plug pins can be connected on the plug side both via crimp and rivet contacts.
Diese und ähnliche Steckerbrücken werden bei der Produktion von Gerätesteckern in großen Stückzahlen verbaut. Da sich auf dem stark umkämpften Markt bereits relativ kleine Preisunterschiede erheblich auf die Konkurrenzfähigkeit auswirken, haben Entwicklungen zur Einsparung von Kosten bzw. Material in diesem technischen Gebiet einen besonders großen Stellenwert.These and similar jumper bridges are installed in large quantities in the production of device connectors. Since relatively small price differences already have a significant impact on competitiveness in the fiercely contested market, developments to reduce costs or material in this technical field are particularly important.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es demgegenüber, eine gattungsgemäße Steckerbrücke der eingangs beschriebenen Art mit möglichst einfachen technischen Mitteln unaufwändig und kostengünstig dahin gehend zu verbessern, dass weiterhin bei der Herstellung der Steckerbrücke in erheblichem Maße Material eingespart werden kann, die Steckerstifte im Bereich der steckdosenseitigen Kontaktierung jedoch keine Kunststoffeinlagerungen aufweisen.Object of the present invention is in contrast to improve a generic jumper of the type described above with the simplest technical means uncomplicated and inexpensive to go that can continue to be saved in the production of the jumper to a considerable extent material, the pins in the socket-side contacting however, have no plastic deposits.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß auf ebenso überraschend einfache wie wirkungsvolle Weise dadurch gelöst, dass nach Umspritzen der Steckerbrücke steckdosenseitig alle Oberflächen des so entstandenen Phasen-, Null- bzw. Erdleiterstifts, inklusive der Einführschrägen, zumindest bis zur isolierkörperseitigen Isolierung aus dem Metallblech bestehen Durch die Herstellung aus einem Stanzteil wird gegenüber der massiven Bauweise in erheblichem Maße Material eingespart. Aufgrund der maschinellen Faltung und der dafür verfügbaren Maschinen kann zudem auf diese Weise die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit deutlich erhöht werden. Die notwendige Stabilität und Hohlraumversiegelung der Faltstifte erfolgt hier auf besonders einfache und kostengünstige Weise in einem Schritt mit dem Gussverfahren, mit dem der gesamte Stecker ohnehin eingegossen wird. Gegenüber Vollmetallstiften wird so 60% Material eingespart und somit ein Beitrag zur von der Europäischen Kommission geforderten effizienten Ressourcennutzung geleistet.This object is achieved in a surprisingly simple as well as effective way in that after encapsulation of the connector bridge all the surfaces of the resulting phase, zero or Erdleiterstifts, including the insertion bevels, at least insierkörperseitigen insulation from the metal sheet socket side by the production of a stamped part is saved over the massive construction material to a considerable extent. Due to the mechanical folding and the machines available for this purpose, the production speed can also be significantly increased in this way. The necessary stability and cavity sealing of the folding pins is done here in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner in one step with the casting process, with which the entire plug is poured anyway. Compared to solid metal pencils, this saves 60% of material, thus contributing to the efficient use of resources demanded by the European Commission.
Die Faltstifte der
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung wird das Stanzteil beim Auffalten jedoch an den Schmalseiten form- und kraftschlüssig verriegelt. Die kabelseitige Anschlusshülse wird dabei aus der Mitte des Stanzteils eingestanzt und aufgefaltet, statt aus dem Ende des Streifens aufgefaltet zu werden. Dadurch, dass die kurzen Seitenkanten des rechteckigen Stanzteils die Einführschrägen bilden, ist es möglich, alle Oberflächen im steckdosenseitigen Kontaktbereich aus dem Stanzteil zu bilden und somit Kunststoffeinlagerungen an allen Flächen, die Kontakt zu stromführenden Teilen der Steckdose haben, zu vermeiden.In the present invention, however, the punched part is locked positively and non-positively at the narrow sides during unfolding. The cable-side connecting sleeve is punched out of the center of the stamped part and unfolded, instead of being unfolded from the end of the strip. Due to the fact that the short side edges of the rectangular stamped part form the insertion bevels, it is possible to form all surfaces in the socket-side contact area from the stamped part and thus avoid plastic deposits on all surfaces which have contact with live parts of the socket.
Durch die Art der Auffaltung ist es auch nunmehr möglich, die Stanzteile direkt aus einem langen, rechteckigen Blech zu fertigen. Bisher mussten die Stanzteile erst ausgestanzt und danach einzeln aufgefaltet werden. Dies ist durch die neue Faltungsmethode jetzt in einem Arbeitsgang möglich. Eine Produktion von 320 bis 360 Teilen pro Minute erscheint machbar, gegenüber 70-80 Teilen pro Minute bei Vollmaterialstiften. Das bedeutet bei gleicher Stückzahl eine Reduzierung der Produktionszeit um etwa 75%.Due to the type of unfolding, it is now possible to produce the stamped parts directly from a long, rectangular sheet metal. So far, the stamped parts had only punched out and then unfolded individually. This is now possible in a single operation thanks to the new folding method. A production of 320 to 360 parts per minute seems feasible compared to 70-80 parts per minute for solid material pens. This means a reduction in production time of about 75% for the same number of pieces.
Die erfindungsgemäße Steckerbrücke ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das flache Stanzteil, aus dem der Phasen-, Null- bzw. Erdleiterstifts in seine endgültige Raumform gezogen und aufgefaltet ist, vor dem Ausstanzen und Auffalten ein langes Metallblech von der Breite der doppelten Länge des Phasen-, Null- bzw. Erdleiterstifts ist. Lange Metallbleche können so in die Verarbeitungsmaschine gegeben werden. Dies vereinfacht die Produktion und Handhabung. Da die Metallbleche die exakte Breite der doppelten Länge der jeweiligen Stifte haben, wird die Menge an "Metallabfall" bei der Produktion drastisch reduziert.The plug-in bridge according to the invention is characterized in that the flat stamped part, from which the phase, zero or earth conductor pin is pulled and unfolded into its final spatial form, is punched out and unfolded into a long metal sheet twice the width of the phase, Zero or Erdleiterstifts is. Long metal sheets can thus be placed in the processing machine. This simplifies production and handling. Since the metal sheets have the exact width twice the length of the respective pins, the amount of "metal waste" in production is drastically reduced.
Aus dem langen Metallblech wird eine Vielzahl von Blechstreifen herausgestanzt, wobei in der Mitte der Querachse ein Steg verbleibt, welcher nach dem Auffalten das steckerseitige Ende des Phasen-, Null- bzw. Erdleiterstifts bildet. Nicht die Faltstifte selbst werden herausgestanzt, sondern die Zwischenräume. In der Mitte verbleibt ein Steg, von dem aus sich flügelartig die "zukünftigen" Stiftkörper erstrecken. Erst nach dem Auffalten der Stifte wird der Steg durchtrennt und entsteht somit ein separater Stift. Dadurch wird weiter die Menge an nicht verwendetem Material reduziert und die Produktion effektiver und schneller gemacht.From the long metal sheet, a plurality of sheet metal strips is punched out, wherein in the middle of the transverse axis a web remains, which forms after unfolding the plug-side end of the phase, neutral or Erdleiterstifts. Not the folding pins themselves are punched out, but the gaps. In the middle of a bridge remains, from which wing-like "future" pen body extend. Only after the unfolding of the pins, the bridge is severed and thus creates a separate pin. This further reduces the amount of unused material and makes production more effective and faster.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass mit einer sich vorne verjüngenden Stanze ein konusförmiges Loch in den Steg gestanzt wird, welches nach dem Auffalten eine Niethülse bildet. Die Niethülse muss nicht angelötet, angeschweißt oder verschraubt werden, sondern ist im Faltstift integriert.A further embodiment is characterized in that a cone-shaped hole is punched into the web with a punch that tapers in the front, which forms a rivet after unfolding. The rivet must not be soldered, welded or screwed, but is integrated in the folding pin.
Eine Weiterbildung der vorherigen Ausführungsformen ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass aus den zwischen den herausgestanzten Blechstreifen verbliebenen Blechstücken Phasen-, Null- bzw. Erdleiterstift aufgefaltet werden. Dadurch wird weiter die Menge an nicht verwendetem Material reduziert und die Produktion effektiver und schneller gemacht.A development of the previous embodiments is characterized in that from the remaining between the punched sheet metal strips sheet metal pieces phase, zero or Erdleiterstift be unfolded. This further reduces the amount of unused material and makes production more effective and faster.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weisen Phasen-, Null- bzw. Erdleiterstift an den Faltnähten Nasen und Ausschnitte auf, wobei beim Auffalten die Nasen in den Ausschnitten verformt zu liegen kommen und somit eine form- und kraftschlüssige Verbindung ermöglichen. Dies erlaubt eine noch stabilere Verriegelung der beiden Hälften des Faltstifts.In a further advantageous embodiment, phase, zero or Erdleiterstift at the folds on noses and cutouts, wherein when folded, the noses come to lie deformed in the cutouts and thus allow a positive and non-positive connection. This allows an even more stable locking of the two halves of the folding pin.
Vorteilhaft ist auch eine Ausführungsform, welche dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass aus dem flachen Stanzteil für den Phasenleiterstift oder den Nullleiterstift spiegelsymmetrisch zur Längsachse Langlöcher ausgestanzt werden, welche nach dem Auffalten an den breiten Seiten des rechteckigen Phasenleiterstifts oder des Nullleiterstifts positioniert sind und welche später beim Umspritzen den Kunststoff auf besonders optimale Weise um die zu isolierenden Stellen fließen lassen. Ein weiterer vorteilhafter Effekt dieser Ausführung ist eine zusätzliche Materialeinsparung.Also advantageous is an embodiment which is characterized in that oblong holes are punched from the flat stamped part for the phase conductor pin or the neutral conductor mirror-symmetrical to the longitudinal axis, which are positioned after unfolding on the wide sides of the rectangular phase conductor pin or the neutral conductor pin and which later during encapsulation allow the plastic to flow in a particularly optimal manner around the points to be insulated. Another beneficial effect of this design is additional material savings.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Phasenleiterstift und der Nullleiterstift seitliche Ausschnitte in ihrem anschlusskabelseitigen Abschnitt aufweisen, welche beim Gussprozess den isolierenden Kunststoff gemäß BS 1363 aufnehmen.A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the phase conductor pin and the neutral conductor pin have lateral cutouts in their connecting cable-side section, which receive the insulating plastic according to BS 1363 during the casting process.
Bevorzugt ist auch eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Steckerbrücke, bei welcher der Phasenleiterstift und der Nullleiterstift auf mindestens einer seitlichen Flanke eine Abprägung vorzugsweise von 0,5mm auf 0,3mm aufweisen. Dadurch wird der Herstellungsprozess der vorangehend erwähnten Teilisolierung noch weiter vereinfacht.Also preferred is an embodiment of the connector bridge according to the invention, in which the phase conductor pin and the neutral conductor pin on at least one lateral edge, a stamping preferably from 0.5 mm to 0.3 mm exhibit. As a result, the manufacturing process of the above-mentioned partial insulation is further simplified.
Vorteilhaft ist auch, wenn der Phasen-, Null- und Erdleiterstift jeweils an seinem anschlusskabelseitigen Ende einen Hohlniet aufweist. Mit einer solchen Ausführungsform lassen sich steckerseitig die stromführenden Kontakte auf einfache Weise vernieten.It is also advantageous if the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstift each having a rivet at its connection cable end. With such an embodiment, the current-carrying contacts can be riveted on the plug side in a simple manner.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform bestehen die flachen Stanzteile für den Phasen-, Null- und Erdleiterstift aus elektrisch leitendem Material, vorzugsweise Messingblech, welches wegen seiner guten elektrischen Leitungs- und mechanischen Stabilitätseigenschaften sowie seiner relativ geringen Korrosionsneigung als Ausgangsmaterial für die Stromführenden Teile bevorzugt wird.In a further embodiment, the flat stampings for the phase, neutral and Erdleiterstift of electrically conductive material, preferably brass sheet, which is preferred because of its good electrical conductivity and mechanical stability properties and its relatively low tendency to corrosion as a starting material for the current-carrying parts.
Weiterhin wird eine Ausführungsform bevorzugt, welche dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass eine elektrische Sicherung gegen zu hohen Stromdurchfluss vorgesehen ist. Diese ist in der erwähnten britischen Norm BS 1363 vorgeschrieben. Daher ist diese Ausführungsform bei Steckerbrücken, die zum Einsatz in Großbritannien bestimmt sind, obligatorisch.Furthermore, an embodiment is preferred, which is characterized in that an electrical fuse is provided against excessive current flow. This is prescribed in the aforementioned British standard BS 1363. Therefore, this embodiment is mandatory for jumper connectors intended for use in the UK.

- Connector bridge for an electrical device connector (1) for connecting electrical devices, in particular household appliances, to a plug socket of an alternating current network, the device connector (1) being formed as a unit by the connector bridge which is connected to the end piece of a three-core connection cable for the device and which is extrusion-coated in an injection mould, and which is itself constructed from a dimensionally stable insulation member (2) for receiving and fixing a rectangular phase conductor pin (3b), rectangular neutral conductor pin (3c) and rectangular earth conductor pin (3a), the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) also being injection moulded in/on in the same operating step as the injection moulding of the insulation member (2) in openings of the insulation member (2) corresponding to the cross-section thereof, the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) projecting relative to the connector bridge and the device connector (1) to a sufficient extent to be introduced into the plug socket, the phase conductor pin (3b), neutral conductor pin (3c) and earth conductor pin (3a) each having inclined introduction members (5), the phase conductor pin (3b) and neutral conductor pin (3c) each having insulation (4) at the insulation member side and the phase conductor pin (3b), neutral conductor pin (3c) and earth conductor pin (3a) each being in the form of a folding pin which is drawn into its definitive spatial shape from an initially flat punched component comprising metal sheet (16), is folded and is filled with plastics material in its empty and intermediate spaces during the injection moulding process of the insulation member (2) in such a manner that, after the injection moulding process, the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) have the definitive contour thereof, characterised in that,
after the connector bridge has been extrusion-coated, at the plug socket side all the surfaces of the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) produced in that manner, including the inclined introduction members (5), at least as far as the insulation (4) at the insulation member side comprise the metal sheet (16),
in that the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3b, c, a) have projections (7a) and cut-outs (7b) at the folding seams (6), with the projections (7a) coming to rest in a deformed state in the cut-outs (7b) during the folding operation and consequently allowing a positive-locking and non-positive-locking connection,
in that a large number of sheet metal strips (17) are punched out of the long metal sheet (16), with a web (18) remaining at the centre of the transverse axis and forming the connector-side end of the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) after the folding operation. - Connector bridge according to claim 1, characterised in that the flat punched component, from which the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) are drawn and folded into the definitive spatial shape thereof, is a long metal sheet (16) having the width (B) of double the length (L) of the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3a, b, c) before the punching and folding operation.
- Connector bridge according to claim 2, characterised in that a conical hole which forms a rivet sleeve (9) after the folding operation is punched into the web (18) with a punching machine which tapers forwards.
- Connector bridge according to either claim 2 or claim 3, characterised in that the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3b, c, a) are folded from the sheet metal pieces remaining between the punched-out sheet metal strips (17).
- Connector bridge according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that elongate holes (12) which are positioned after the folding operation at the wide sides of the rectangular phase conductor pin (3b) or the neutral conductor pin (3c) are punched out of the flat punched component for the phase conductor pin (3b) or the neutral conductor pin (3c) in a mirror-symmetrical manner relative to the longitudinal axis of the phase conductor pin (3b) or the neutral conductor pin (3c).
- Connector bridge according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the phase conductor pin (3b) and the neutral conductor pin (3c) have lateral cut-outs (13).
- Connector bridge according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the phase conductor pin (3b) and the neutral conductor pin (3c) have an impression (14), preferably of from 0.5 mm to 0.3 mm, at least at one lateral flank.
- Connector bridge according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3b, c, a) each have a hollow rivet (9) at an end thereof at the insulation member side.
- Connector bridge according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the flat punched components for the phase, neutral and earth conductor pins (3b, c, a) comprise electrically conductive material, preferably brass sheet.
- Connector bridge according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that an electrical fuse is provided to prevent excessively high current flow.
