Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a contact socket having two-piece construction.
  • a contact socket having two parts, an engagement sleeve and a contact spring, the contact spring is engaged in a sleeve-like manner onto the frontal side of engagement sleeve where two-part construction allows the material for the engagement sleeve and the contact spring to be separate so the manufacturing process can be optimized and adapted to the individual component function.
  • the contact socket which is formed in two parts, comprises an engagement sleeve and a contact spring, which is slid in a sleeve-like manner onto the engagement sleeve and fixed thereto.
  • the two-part construction allows the material for the engagement sleeve and the contact spring to be separately provided and worked.
  • the manufacturing process and materials can be optimized and adapted to the individual component.
  • Figures 1 and 2 there is shown, in accordance with a first embodiment, a contact socket according to the invention in a lateral cross-sectional view, the sleeve-like contact spring 2 which is slidingly engaged from the front onto engagement sleeve 1 and fixed thereto.
  • a terminal section 11 On the other end of engagement sleeve 1, there is shown a terminal section 11 to which an electric conductor is crimped or soldered.
  • a spring leg 12 is formed on one part on contact spring 2 and on the other part a latching tongue 8 is formed.
  • the spring leg 12 lies inside the engagement sleeve 1.
  • the latching tongue 8 lies outside of engagement sleeve 1.
  • a counter spring 3 is located on the engagement sleeve 1 opposite spring leg 12, such that a contact location 4 between spring leg 12 and counter spring 3 is formed.
  • the contact spring 2 is partially accommodated inside the engagement sleeve 1 whereby the latching tongue 8 protrudes upwardly at an acute angle of approximately 5°.
  • the spring leg 12 forms a readily resilient contact metal piece by which current is directly, and therefore more efficiently, conducted.
  • Figures 4 and 3 show the layout of the engagement sleeve 1 and of the contact spring 2. These representations are not to scale.
  • the layout of contact spring 2 comprises a latching tongue 8 which, during forming of contact spring 2, while protruding outwardly, is bent upwards in order to allow attachment of the of the contact socket according to the invention in a receiving chamber (not shown) of a plug.
  • a projection 10 is foreseen on the engagement sleeve 1 which is bent away from the engagement sleeve 1 approximately at a right angle, as is shown in Figure 2, in order to form a polarisation of the contact socket.
  • the contours of the layouts of the engagement sleeves 1 and contact springs 2 are preferably stamped out of flat metal sheets as shown in Figures 3 and 4. After the stamping operation, the individual engagement sleeves 1 and contact springs 2 are separated and bent.
  • the contact spring 2 and the engagement sleeve 1 are shaped by forming, whereafter contact spring 2 is slid from the front end onto engagement sleeve 1 and fixed thereto, until the state as shown in Figures 1 and 2 is established.
  • the engagement sleeve 1 and the contact spring 2 are preferably laser soldered such that a solder pad 9 (from the top direction of the tool) is formed at least at one location.
  • the construction of the contact socket according to the invention allows the formation of the relatively readily resilient counter spring 3 whereby an improved spring action of the spring members can be achieved.
  • the "flexibility” function is separate from the “current-conducting” function, as the contact spring 2 provides the flexibility and the counter spring 3 is responsible for the current conduction.
  • Figures 5 to 8 show a second embodiment of the present contact socket.
  • the effect and function obtained correspond to the first embodiment.
  • two springs legs 12 are formed on the contact spring 2, as can easily be seen from Figures 5 and 6.
  • the advantage obtained thereby is that all spring functions are concentrated on one component, namely the contact spring 2.
  • Figures 5a, 5b and 6 show the contact socket according to the invention, in accordance with the second embodiment, whereby here, in a lateral cross-sectional view, there is shown the sleeve-like enclosure of engagement sleeve 1 by the contact spring 2 which is inserted from the front end.
  • two spring legs 12 are formed on contact spring 2 essentially facing each other.
  • a mating section 5 which has an essentially U-shaped configuration and encompasses the front end of the engagement sleeve in sections.
  • Figure 6 shows that on each side of the engagement sleeve 1 a tab 7 is positioned that also has a U-shaped configuration and which grips the sleeve sections 6 of contact spring 2, which lie in this region.
  • the contact spring 2 is hereby secured to engagement sleeve 1.
  • the contact spring 2 can be soldered to engagement sleeve 1 or fixedly secured thereto by means of a latching mechanism (not shown).
  • Figures 7 and 8 show the layout of the engagement sleeve 1 and the contact spring 2. These representations are also not to scale.
  • the layout of the contact spring 2 comprises a latching tongue 8 which, during bending of the contact spring 2, while protruding outwardly is bent upwards in order to allow an anchorage of the contact socket in a receiving chamber (not shown) of a plug.
  • a projection 10 is foreseen on the engagement sleeve 1 which is bent away from the engagement sleeve 1 approximately at a right angle, as is shown in Figure 6, in order to form a polarisation of the contact socket
  • the contours of the layouts of the engagement sleeves 1 and contact springs 2 are preferably stamped out of flat metal, as shown in Figures 7 and 8. After the stamping operation, the individual engagement sleeves 1 and contact springs 2 are separated and bent. The contact spring 2 and the engagement sleeve 1 are first bent into shape whereafter the contact spring 2 is engaged onto engagement sleeve 1; finally, tabs 7 of engagement sleeve 1 are bent over until the state shown in Figures 5b and 6 is created. However, instead of tabs 7, an additional soldering operation can be foreseen on this section, if desired.
  • the engagement sleeve 1 and the contact spring 2 are preferably laser soldered such that a solder pad 9 (from the top direction of the tool) is formed on several locations.
  • spring steel material such as X12CrNi
  • beryllium copper or steel provided with a precious metal plating is used.
  • the contact socket according to the invention is formed in two parts, an engagement sleeve 1 and a contact spring 2 which is engaged in a sleeve-like manner onto the frontal side of engagement sleeve 1.
  • the two-part construction allows the material for the engagement sleeve 1 and the contact spring 2 to be separately provided and worked.
  • the manufacturing process itself can be optimized and adapted to the individual component.
  • the contact spring 2 is additionally provided with one or two spring legs 12 whereby, in the case of one spring leg 12, a counter spring 3 is formed on the engagement sleeve 1.
