  • the object of the present invention is essentially a To create contacting device of the type presumed to be known, which are significantly easier to manufacture and can also be used more universally is.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features of Claim 1 and is accordingly characterized in that the contacting device is assembled from at least two contact strips where each contact strip is a central strip has, on the - aligned transversely to this - fork springs are connected, and that the at least two contact strips in mutual flat contact of their central stripes in such a way are put together that the fork springs of the contact strips under Consideration of their congruent alignment in the essentially intermesh.
  • a contacting device according to the invention is the simplest Case selectable from two contact strips joined together Width, with each of the two contact strips a number of Has fork springs with a number of fork springs of second contact strip interact. All fork springs are in place thereby aligned in a row so that there is a continuous Contact gap for a flat knife contact results.
  • a contacting device is formed according to this principle by putting together three contact strips, can - same Assumes width - a contacting device with one opposite the first variant with two contact strips by 50% higher number of Result in contact zones.
  • the number of contact zones can be double if four contact strips are joined together accordingly
  • the principle is always that the to the Contact strips formed comb springs into each other like a comb reach for a uniform, continuous insertion and contact channel for the contact section of the counter-contacting device maintain.
  • At least one the at least two contact strips on the central strips connected connecting pins is achieved according to the invention in that at least two of each Contact strips are identical to each other, however are mirrored together.
  • Contacting device are preferably the two outer or the Provide connection pins on both inner contact strips.
  • a particularly advantageous further feature of the invention is that the contact strips of cut sections endless contact strips are formed.
  • cutting sections only after Join the individual endless contact strips together by cutting through the contact strip package.
  • the fork fenders connected to their fork bridge Connection sections are connected to the central strip and the connecting sections asymmetrically or off-center on the Fork web are connected. This allows the abutting each other and therefore inevitable in different Layers of adjacent contact strips are still identical his and her - comb-like - fork springs nevertheless be aligned in a single aligned row.
  • connection pins can be freely selected. It Solder pins are also possible, for example plug-like connecting pins with elastic press-in zones or SMT solder tails. It is advantageous if the from a flat Contact pin strips cut out from the connection pins with the Level of the contact sheet strip corresponding level of the Central strip are cranked out. You can next to the side the central strip. So you can be very simple The desired contact spacing is also set up become.
  • connection pins after the SMT technology can be advantageous be to crimp or bend them in such a way that they are between a PCB can contact on both sides.
  • the central strips be cohesive, e.g. by welding, soldering and the like, and / or non-positively, for example by mutual engagement of knobs, slugs, tongues or the like, put together.
  • the central stripe can have openings be provided, the so-called relief breakthroughs to Weight loss as well as to facilitate the severing of the Cut sections from continuous material.
