Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical potential connector, in which the stripped ends of several electrical lines are combined in a connector element.
  • Such connectors are used for. B. used in automotive electronics and are used to supply several stripped ends of electrical lines due to their equal potentials or because of their ground connection to a connection element in the motor vehicle.
  • Known potential connectors consist of a sheet metal sleeve in which the stripped ends of z. B. five to ten electrical lines squeezed together. The production of these potential connectors is time-consuming. Mechanical production is practically impossible and the handling of the potential connectors is cumbersome.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a potential connector which is simple in construction and can be produced by machine and whose handling is simple.
  • the new potential connector essentially consists of the preferably cuboid plastic housing 1, in which a contact plate 2 made of metal is arranged, the bearing elements 3 for electrical connectors 4 made of stamped metal parts, which are crimped to the stripped ends 5 of electrical lines 6.
  • the contact plate 2 consists of a square sheet made of electrically conductive material.
  • the sheet can be single or double as shown in Fig. 3, i. H. be formed in one piece and form the upper plate 7 and the lower plate 8.
  • incisions 11 extend with the cutting edge 12 extending in the direction of the longitudinal edges 9, 10, namely at a distance from one another at right angles to the transverse edges 13 of the contact plate 2, which leads to cutting edges 14 a cut sheet metal tab results.
  • the sheet metal tab is preferably bent at a right angle from the plane of the contact sheet 2 and forms an abutment web 15, the function of which is explained below.
  • another abutment web 15a is arranged in the same manner, but in mirror image, as the abutment web 15, in the example shown the abutment webs 15 and 15a converge conically and form an upwardly open plug space 16, the bottom of which is separated from the contact plate 2 and are formed by the bottom web left by the incisions 11 and its side walls by the abutment webs 15 and 15a.
  • the abutment webs 15, 15a of adjacent plug-in spaces 16 are arranged in such a way that a plug-in space 16a results between two plug-in spaces 16, in which the abutment webs 15, 15a converge conically in the opposite direction.
  • the contact plate 2 also has two longitudinal edge regions 9a and 10a and transverse edge regions 13a. Holes 17 can be made in series with one another at the longitudinal edge regions 9a, 10a, which serve in a manner known per se as a means of transport for a machine for producing the contact plate, but also for fixing the position of the contact plate 2 in the housing 1 and for fixing two housing halves can be used.
  • latching tongues 18, which are cut into the bottom of the plug-in spaces 16, 16a or raised latching projections are provided in the plug-in spaces, which serve to latch the plug-in connectors 4, as will be described below.
  • the sheet metal plate 8 is preferably congruent in shape with the sheet metal plate 7.
  • the contact plate 2 In the interior 23 of the housing 1 z. B. clamped the contact plate 2.
  • the side walls 21 are preferably at a distance from each other conically tapered plug openings 24 are introduced, which provide access to the plug-in spaces 16, 16a.
  • the holes 17 in the contact plate 2 can, for. B. from molded into the housing halves 1a, 1b, which results in a fixation of the contact plate 2 and a locking or cohesion of the housing halves 1a, 1b (not shown).
  • the plug-in connectors 4 cooperating in the plug-in spaces 16, 16a are designed to fit the plug-in spaces. They have a crimp area 25 which clasps the end of the electrical line 6 and a contact area 26.
  • the contact region 26 is formed by a flat base web 27 and two side wall webs 28, which are preferably angled at right angles and which taper towards one another towards the free end 29.
  • the taper of the side wall webs 28 corresponds to the taper of the abutment webs 15, 15a, so that a connector 4 fits positively and / or non-positively into a slot 16 or 16a.
  • a slot 30 is preferably arranged in the bottom web 27 and extends from the free end 29 to a hole 31. Through the slot 30 spring arms 27a, 27b are formed, which can spring elastically to the slot 30.
  • the hole 31 expediently serves as a counter-latching element arranged in the bottom of the plug-in spaces 16, 16a
  • the height of the abutment webs 15, 15a is selected such that the webs rest on the bottom wall 19 or the top wall 20 of the housing 1. Accordingly, the height of the side wall webs 28 is designed such that the webs 28 do not protrude beyond the webs 15, 15a, but preferably the upper edges of which are laterally aligned.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 has only one contact plate 7.
  • the abutment webs 15, 15a run parallel to one another and are interrupted in the longitudinal center of the contact plate 7, so that two mutually aligned plug-in spaces 16, 16c are formed, which lead to Slots 16a and 16d are arranged adjacent.
  • the connectors 4b are adapted to the shape of the plug-in spaces. A large number of plug connectors 4b can be plugged onto the contact plate 2 on both sides, although the contact plate 2 is of simple design.
  • the spatial shape of the plug-in connectors 4, 4b is to be designed in such a way that a plug connection in the plug-in spaces 16, 16a or 16c, 16 is ensured.
  • This connector is z. B. also ensured by a connector 4c, the side wall webs 28 are convexly curved outwards, a cutout 32 being expediently made in the connection region of the spherical regions 28a to the floor 27.
  • the upper edge of the side wall webs 28 is expediently tooth-like and protrudes somewhat beyond the abutment webs, so that the teeth can engage in the plastic material of the walls 19 and / or 20 and can fix the connector 4a, 4b or 4c.
