Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an inductive electrical component according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such inductive components are known, for example, from the Siemens data book 1990/91 "Ferrites and Accessories", in particular pages 321 to 323 and 338 and 339.
  • a coil former 10 has a winding space delimited by two coil former flanges 11, 12 with a cylindrical through hole 13 for receiving central slugs 21 from EP core halves 20 to be described later.
  • the coil former 10 also has two integrally molded contact pin strips 14, 15 with contact pins 16.
  • Two EP core halves 20 with central slugs 21 and core legs 22 can be slid onto the bobbin 10 in such a way that the central slugs 21 engage in the cylindrical through hole 13 and the core legs 22 rest on the contact pin strips 14, 15.
  • the transformer design in question is generally known, for which purpose, for example, the representation on the page 323 of the above-mentioned Siemens data book.
  • the core halves are held on the coil body by means of a holding device, which is formed by two separate parts, namely a bracket and a clamp.
  • a holding device which is formed by two separate parts, namely a bracket and a clamp.
  • both the bracket and the bracket are U-shaped.
  • the bracket on the outside of the two legs of the U-shape each has a locking lug, while the clip in the legs of the U-shape each has a recess adapted to the locking lugs of the bracket.
  • the bracket and the clip are pushed from one side in the direction of the central axis from the bobbin through-hole and central slug of the core halves onto the assembled unit of coil bobbin and core halves, the latching lugs of the bracket then latching into the recesses in the clip. Since the yoke of the clip is concave and thus exerts an additional spring action, the core halves are pushed together and held on the coil body in the direction of the above-mentioned axis.
  • the bracket seated on a core half has two inwardly directed legs engaging the core half, which ensure a certain mounting perpendicular to the aforementioned axis (also the magnetic axis of the transmitter).
  • an embodiment of the type explained above is not yet completely satisfactory with regard to the holding of the core halves on the coil former in that a good holding device is provided by the bracket and the clamp Direction of the magnetic axis but not always sufficient support perpendicular to this axis is guaranteed, so that the core halves can still have some play on the coil former, which can adversely affect the electromagnetic properties of the transmitter.
  • FIG. 1 Another known embodiment of a typical transformer design has a so-called Q-core in the form of two core halves, this design generally corresponding in terms of the coil form and the ferrite core to the design with EP core explained above.
  • a cover cap is provided which, when the core halves are attached to the coil former, is pushed onto this unit comprising the coil former and core from above.
  • the cover cap In the direction of the magnetic axis, the cover cap has two resilient legs on opposite sides, which act on the outer sides of the core halves and compress them on the coil body in the direction of the magnetic axis.
  • the core halves may not be adequately fastened perpendicularly to the magnetic axis on the coil former.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an inductive electrical component of the type in question a way to adequately attach the magnetic core on the bobbin both in the magnetic axis and perpendicular to it.
  • a spring cap 30 designed according to the invention is provided in connection with a special design of the contact pin strips 14, 15 of the coil body 10 adapted to this.
  • the spring cap 30 has a yoke 31 which is concave at least in its central region 32 and thereby receives an additional spring action.
  • legs 33 are provided on two opposite sides, which have locking lugs 34, which are preferably inclined outward from the surface of the legs 33. These locking lugs 34 are formed in that the legs 33 have incisions 35 in the region of their free ends with the dimensions of the contact pin strips 14, 15 of the coil body Have 10 corresponding dimensions. The legs 33 continue beyond the locking lugs 34 in earthing pins 36.
  • spring clips 37 are provided on the yoke 31.
  • the coil former 10 has, in adaptation to the latching lugs 34 of the spring cap 30 at the free ends of the contact pin strips 14, 15, undercuts 18 delimited to the outside by projections 17.
  • the locking lugs 34 snap into the undercuts 18, whereby the core halves 20 are held on the bobbin 10 in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic axis, that is to say the central axis running through the through hole 13 and the central slugs 21.
  • the core halves 20 are held together by the spring clip 37. In this way, the core halves 20 are held firmly in two mutually perpendicular directions without play on the coil body 10, so that impairments to the electromagnetic properties of the inductive component can no longer occur.
  • recesses 38 are provided in the legs 33 of the spring cap 30 via which the spring cap 30 can be glued to the core halves 20.
