Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical conductor connection element with a contact part and a contact spring, which has a base part supported on an abutment and an elastically deflectable clamping part which is angled relative to the base part and forms a clamping opening for an electrical conductor with the contact part.
  • Such conductor connection elements are used, for example, to connect electrical conductors such as a stripped conductor of a cable to an electrical device, a plug connector or the like.
  • the base part is approximately U-shaped overall and has two approximately parallel legs one of which merges into the clamping part at the end and the other rests against the abutment.
  • the contact part is conductively connected to the device to be connected, the connector or the like and can also form the abutment for the base part of the contact spring.
  • the contact part and the contact spring can also be formed in one piece.
  • the object of the invention is to create a conductor connection element with a space-saving contact spring
  • the base part of the contact spring is detachably held on the contact part in that the base part has two support zones which act on the contact part from opposite sides in positions at different distances from the clamping part.
  • the clamping part can be designed in a known manner as a bracket which engages over the contact part.
  • the contact part has an anchor which passes through an opening in the base part of the contact spring and rests against one of the two support zones on the side of the base part opposite the clamping part.
  • the base part can have an opening through which the armature can be passed, so that the contact spring and the contact part can be detached from one another.
  • the armature and the associated support zone can be designed in such a way that the armature can only get into the wider opening of the base part by overcoming a certain locking resistance. In this way, the contact part and the contact spring are held together captively in the assembled position.
  • a rod-shaped portion of the contact part extends through an opening formed in the base part of the contact spring.
  • the two support zones are then formed by two edges of this opening running transversely to the contact part.
  • the contact spring can be pushed axially onto the contact part.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a conductor connection element according to an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows an axial section through the conductor connection element according to FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 shows the conductor connection element according to FIG. 2 in an open position for inserting an electrical conductor; and 4 shows a perspective view of a conductor connection element according to another embodiment.
  • 1 shows a conductor connection element 10, which is formed by two electrically conductive components made of metal, for example, namely a contact spring 12 and a contact part 14, which in this example is rod-shaped overall.
  • the contact part 14 is electrically connected in some known manner, not shown here, to another electrical component, for example a contact of an electrical device, a plug connector or the like.
  • the contact spring 12 has a base part 16 in the form of a metal plate bent in an S-shape, with which the contact spring is detachably held on the contact part 14 .
  • the upper region of the base part 16 in the drawing is formed by two parallel elastic arms 18 which merge into a bracket-like clamping part 20 which is angled relative to the base part 16 and which engages over the upper end of the contact part 14 .
  • the clamping part 20 and the upper end of the contact part 14 together form a clamping opening 22 for a conductor 24 (FIG. 3), for example a stripped end of a cable or stranded wire 26.
  • the contact spring 12 is shown in the relaxed state. In this state, the clamp opening 22 is closed.
  • the clamping part 20 is pushed to the right in FIG. 1 by hand or by means of an actuator (not shown here), so that the clamping opening 22 opens.
  • a torque acts on the contact spring 12 in a clockwise direction in FIG. 1.
  • the contact part 14 forms an abutment, which creates a counter-torque and prevents the base part from rotating, so that the arms 18 are elastically bent.
  • a tensile force acting on the clamping part 20 is generated, which pulls the conductor inserted into the clamping opening 22 against the contact part 14 and thus ensures a secure contact.
  • the two arms 18 of the base part 16 are connected at the end opposite the clamping part 20 by a traverse which forms a first support zone 28 with which the base part 16 is supported on the contact part 14 .
  • the base part 16 has a longitudinal slot 30 in its S-shaped bent section, through which a bulge 32 of the contact part 14 passes.
  • This bulge 32 carries an anchor 34 which has a greater width than the slot 30.
  • the concave surface areas of the base part 16 on either side of the slot 30 form a second support zone 36 against which the anchor 34 bears.
  • the support zones 28 and 36 are at different distances from the clamping part 20 and engage the contact part 14 from opposite sides and therefore exert a clockwise torque on the contact part 14 when the clamping opening is opened.
  • the contact part since the contact part is held stationary due to its connection to the other electrical components, not shown here, it forms an abutment which exerts a counter-torque on the contact spring and keeps the arms 18 under bending stress.
  • the slot 30 widens to an opening 38, the width of which is greater than that of the armature 34.
  • the opening 38 is limited by cams 40, which constrict the slot 30 there and abut the bulge 32 of the contact portion from opposite sides.
  • the contact spring 12 is held positively in its position relative to the contact part 14 in the direction parallel to the armature 34 .
  • the lower end of the base part 36 in Fig. 1 forms a latch 42 which rests on the same side of the contact part 14 as the support zone 28 and which, together with the armature 34, prevents the contact spring 12 from being pivoted counterclockwise relative to the contact part 14 .
  • the base part 16 of the contact spring is thus held in a rotationally fixed manner in relation to the contact part 14 .
  • FIG. 2 It can be seen more clearly in FIG. 2 how the contact zones 528 and 36 engage the contact part 14 from opposite sides.
  • the contact zone 28 is cut through an edge of FIG.
  • the apex of the armature 34 rests against a part of the support zone 36 which lies just below the lower edge of the opening 38 and runs parallel to the arms 18, ie is inclined relative to the main axis of the contact part 14.
  • the contact spring 12 is pressed downwards with a certain force, it can elastically deform to such an extent that the apex of the armature 34 slides over the lower edge of the opening 38 . Thereafter, the armature 34 can enter the wider opening 38 . If the contact spring 12 is then rotated clockwise, the armature 34 passes through the opening 38 and the contact spring can be detached from the contact part 14.
  • the contact spring can be mounted again on the contact part 14 until it snaps back into place in the concave support zone 36, overcoming a certain locking resistance.
  • 3 shows the conductor connection element in a state in which the clamping opening 22 is open and the arms 18 are elastically bent. If the clamping part 20 is released in this state, the arms 18 will spring back to the left in FIG.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a conductor connection element 10' with a contact part 14' in the form of a straight rod and a contact spring 512', the base part 16' of which is bent in an S-shape at the lower end in the drawing and has an opening 44 through through which the contact part 14' is inserted.
  • Support zones 28' and 36' which prevent the base part from pivoting relative to the contact part, are here formed by the mutually opposite surfaces of the base part 16' above and below the opening 44.
  • the contact spring 12' is axially displaceable on the contact part 14' and can be detached from the contact part 14' by being pulled upwards from the contact part.
