Definitions

• the invention relates to a support and fixing part for an electrical or electronic component and more particularly to such a part comprising a support compartment for the electrical or electronic component, two claws each in engagement and in electrical continuity with a pin of the electrical or electronic component placed in the support compartment between the two prongs and a removable closing cover.
• At least two separate electrical wires are each engaged and in electrical continuity with each of the claws and the removable closure cover is designed to hold each electrical wire on each claw.
• Support and fixing parts for an electrical component requiring prior cutting of a single electrical wire into two separate electrical strands for series mounting of the electrical component are also known from documents FR 2 306 597 and GB 762640.
• the object of the invention is to modify a support and fixing part of an electrical or electronic component known in the prior art so as to allow a series mounting of the electrical component on an electrical wire without prior cutting of the electrical wire .
• the subject of the invention is a piece for supporting and fixing an electrical or electronic component, comprising a compartment for supporting the electrical or electronic component, two claws each in engagement and in electrical continuity with a pin of the component electric or electronic device arranged in the support compartment between the two claws and a removable closing cover, characterized in that a blade is fixed to the removable closing cover to cut an electrical wire in engagement and in electrical continuity with the two claws of so as to mount the electrical or electronic component in series on the electrical wire.
• the electrical or electronic component is mounted in series on the electrical wire without prior cutting of the latter. This results in a greater ease of mounting the component, whether it is a passive component such as a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, a diode or any other electrical or electronic component.
• the support and fixing part according to the invention facilitates for example the mounting of an electrical or electronic component which reduces disturbances on a supply cable.
• the claws are used to strip the electrical wire to ensure perfect electrical continuity with the component.
• Figure 1 shows a support and fixing part according to the invention, the closure cover being in the open position.
• FIG 2 shows the support and fixing part of Figure 1, the closure cover being in the intermediate position between opening and closing.
• Figure 3 shows the support and fixing part of Figure 1, the closure cover being in the closed position.
• FIG. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of the support and fixing part illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 3, the cover being in the open position of FIG. 2.
• FIG. 5 shows the support and fixing part illustrated by FIG. 4, the cover being in the closed position of FIG. 3.
• a support and fixing part of an electrical or electronic component comprises, FIGS. 1 to 5, a support compartment 1, two claws 3A.3B and a removable closing cover 11.
• the two claws 3A.3B each provide a socket and electrical continuity with a pin 9A, 9B of the electrical or electronic component 7 disposed in the support compartment 1 which is for example a plastic body.
• a blade 5 is fixed to the removable or pivoting closure cover 11 to cut an electric wire 13 in engagement and in electrical continuity with the two claws 3A, 3B.
• the two claws 3A.3B are designed to incise an insulating sheath 13A surrounding the conductive core 13B of the electrical wire 13. In this way, they provide electrical continuity between the electrical wire 13 and the pins 9A.9B of the electrical component 7 all retaining the electric wire during cutting by the blade 5.
• the closing cover 11 is removable. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, there is also provided a closure cover 11 pivoting around a hinge 11 A relative to the support compartment 1 between an open position and a closed position in which it is folded over. this support compartment 1.
• FIGs 1 to 3 illustrate the operation of the support and fixing part according to the invention for mounting the electric or electronic component 7 in series on the electric wire 13 without cutting the latter beforehand.
• the closure cover 11 is in the open position relative to the plastic body 1. In this position, the electric wire 13 is fixed in each of the two claws 3A.3B.
• the cover 11 is pivotally moved around the hinge 11A relative to the plastic body 1 to gradually bring the blade 5 of the electric wire 13.
• the cover 11 is folded over the body in plastic material 1 in the closed position for cutting the electrical wire 13, which is retained by the claws 3A.3B during the cutting.
• the support and fixing part of the electric or electronic component comprises a block 15 arranged in the plastic body 1 to serve as a support for the electric wire 13 during the sectioning by the blade 5.
• the block 15 comprises two opposite bearing surfaces 15A, 15B and is split to let the blade 5 pass, the width of the slot corresponding to the thickness of the blade 5 so that the cutting is straightforward.
• the support and fixing part of the electrical or electronic component comprises baffles 17A, 17B fixed to the closure cover 11 to promote the release of the two strands of the cut electrical wire 13 and thus avoid contact between these strands and the blade 5.
• the blade 11 also has a sharpening angle which, like the material of which the blade 11 is made, depends on the materials which constitute the wire. Electrical, in particular the insulating sheath and the conductive core of this wire.
• the blade is made of cold-worked stainless steel to ensure a good service life.
• the blade 5 When the closing cover 11 is pivoting, the blade 5 has an angle of attack 5A such that the cutting edge 5B extends in a direction D which intersects the direction A of the pivoting hinge 11A relative to the support compartment 1 .
